Not all critics think it is dead. Equally, not all fans think they have to suddenly rush to battle-stations every time someone dares give a less-than-stellar opinion. It adds up to a shrill, scared over-reaction...

A lot of the noise, here and on the other main forum, is simply the constant background static of discontent, and the call-to-arms surrounding the furure over a botched release, and slow patching. At which point the fans come rushing like firemen down the pole scared that the place is burning down....

And quite a chunk of the noise is also how to improve what's there, workarounds for major and minor probjems, and 'wish' and Feedback threads.

Is that a ringing endorsement?

It's a shame there isn't much talk oabout the standalone campaign, the modelling of a BoB, or the talk about the dynamic campaign and weather.

That may well be because they (still) are not there.

The original point - is it worth buying? Well, that varies according to your point of view.
