A more accurate statement (if you will allow me to fix)

"What's really going to be funny is when all of the rabid fanboys that aren't in beta finally get to play the game and realizethat the game is not very fun, the world is more empty then full, the combat is slow, the quests uninspired, the character models (especially animal races) are criminally bad, and in general, is a step backwards in terms of generation. Certainly not the next gen game they were promised.

Still three months left to go until release, and judging by the changes being made, this game is in nose-dive mode, despite what Brad may say.

I will just say I disagree with this. I'll say more post NDA I suppose.
