they've done it again

I think it's important to keep in mind too that while RTW isn't what we were hoping for or what we were maybe expecting...when you compare it to the Real time strategy game competition (almost a year ago) it's actually quite good.

yes, but expectations always get higher, don't they? There's always a higher mountain to climb beyond the present one, and so on, and so on...

We may be meaning different things with "buggy". A bug used to be a major error, so I only call a game or patch buggy if it really does not work as it ought. Neither R:TW 1.1 nor R:TW 1.2 was buggy by these standards.

Yes hostility might have been the case, at least it seems that they're pointing in this direction. But what did they expect? It was their decision to make RTW a more "open for all ages and types of players" so I say they should have been prepared.

When I said size doesn't matter I meant that you don't have to be big to be polite and open to criticism. I guess we agree on this.

I agree with everything you say here. R:TW is a good game, but its launch was a PR-disaster towards the hard-core fans of the series.

Does this mean I am not going to buy BI? No, not neccesarily.
Will I complain about BI too? Probably.
Will that stop me from buying TW4? I don't think so ~D .

It's all a matter of perspective. ~:smoking:
