ROFL, exactly.

I'm paying $50 for this game so I get a say in it? Not likely.

I totally agree that giving helpful information to the development team is good for them as it probably saves them some research time. But, saying "that isn't up to 2010 standards" does nothing helpful for anyone (except maybe making the person doing the criticizing feel superior in some way).

However, feeling that because you plan to pay $50 for the game you are owed a certain change being made or a further insight into the game as it stands in Moscow today...well that's just silly and an example of an over inflated view of the worth of one's opinion.

Isn't it obvious to anyone else that we often get screen shots for what they are working on at the moment? And because what they are working on at the moment may not be compatible with something they have done in another area in the past, other aspects (like terrain, lighting, clouds, etc.) appear more rudimentary than they have in past screen shots? Isn't it strange to anyone else that in some past screen shots the terrain looks better than it does in some more recent screen shots? Do you actually think they are regressing? No, they are highlighting a certain aspect for this week.

For goodness sakes, READ the entire thread before spouting your opinion. You DO owe that to the rest of the community. How many times do we see a criticism on an item that has already been EXPLAINED by Oleg or Luthier in a previous post? They just haven't tied the "good terrain" to the "good lighting" (or whatever)...yet.

Lastly, and I promise to end this rant (ungrateful SOB's with feelings of entitlement grate my nerves, sorry), how stupid would it be for Oleg to throw all of his cards on the table for the competition to see? How dumb would it be for him to hold nothing back for the "great unveiling"? I dunno about you, but the gals I dated never showed up to a first date naked....a little mystery can be a good thing.

(ok, there was this one time that this gal...oh, never mind)

and that's their first mistake!

It was me who said the the Terrain looked bad, i said it looked like a child has painted it. Someone tell me that it doesn't, I can only say what i see. No offence to anyone of course.

Okey so, you're ugly and I can only say what i see, but don't be offended.
Good logic.

Except you can't see Tree, so great observation...

It's just plain childish. That's the kind of thing I'd have said in primary school.

Im not offended, because you haven't seen me, I have seen the terrain and so have you, thats why your attacking me rather than defend the terrain, because at the moment it doesn't look good from high altitude. I dont think anyone can argue with that.

I don't agree with your characterization of the terrain. There are past screen shots where it has looked better, I will give you that.

I guess it would be more accurate to say that you, among others, have an tendency to post without any tact. There are MUCH better ways of saying what you said. More constructive and less confrontational.

Let's face it, you are in several "I told you so" arguments with others on this board. I think you are looking for opportunities to rub their faces in any flaws and that leads to these tactless postings.

Lack of tact and feelings of entitlement seem to me to be what lead Oleg to his last comments....so how well did they work?

Im not being confrontational im just being honest, I think Oleg would rather hear that than all the wows, whoops, fantastics and cheering. The terrain doesn't look good, at this time, feel free to disagree with me on this subject.

So when your lady asks, "Do these pants make my backside look fat?", what do you say? lol. "It's not the pants...." is a bad idea, trust me.
