That's where subjective opinion enters in. But trying to excuse the game using the "it can't be perfect" line isn't going to render your opinion accurate, or make mine inaccurate.

I understand what you mean, and it is crucial to have people criticizing the games and always asking for more, it urges the developers to raise the par and input more effort into the game.

However, if the expak comes out just as you expect now, would you boycott the expack and radically all of CA's products?

I would probably only boycott a company if they were engaging in highly unethical behaviour. The chances of CA doing something that unethical seems extremely unlikely to me.

There are some companies that I'm willing to buy their products "sight unseen", so to speak, based simply on their reputation. For example, I've been highly satisified with all of the products from Bioware, so when they put out a game, I generally don't stop to read reviews and such, I buy the game based on the respect their previous games have earned.

CA used to be in that category. After my disappointment with RTW, they aren't anymore. That doesn't mean I think they are a bad company. It just means that I've lost the high level of respect that I used to have for them and their games. I will continue to look at any game they make, and evaluate if it's something I'm interested in. But I won't buy another product based simply on their name.
