Looking better to video game journalists who play games for 2 hours and will stop playing within the first 10 minutes if it's not easy enough for them, sure, but for fans of hardcore PC RPGs it's looking pretty crappy compared to the first, and the first was far from perfect. Dumbing it down way too much for console kids even though it sold best on PC, stupid business decision there.

Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.

Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
