Actually, not really. After I was sure that the glitches in creating my fact were in fact not my fault, I just dropped it an left. It was the shelf moment where the game designers lose you. You're not playing their game; you're not giving them a community base to continue selling their game; you're not giving them any reason to buy their new games.

My next 50$'s go to Valve, Epic, Gearbox, etc.

This letter is pretty well pointless... the game was screwed up... the majority moved on.

Unfortunately for the developers, the majority did move on. When people come in the store asking about the game I need to give my honest opinion, and the complete and utter disappointment leaves me to steer them away. There is no way I'm going to smear my own reputation (which ironically people have repetitively pointed me out on the street as the "fussy haired electronics guy" so they do know me by face... its a relatively small city.) as a salesperson when I myself was completely disappointed with the game.

Things I mentioned to be fixed:

1) Key binder not working... what's the point of having a key binder if you cannot rebind keys?
2) Stuttering play. I even mentioned explicitly what the problem with the stutter was and how a simple hack-fix (30FPS lock option) would virtually eliminate the problem. That problem was not fixed -- nor any other problem that I've seen apart from a Bungie asscrack.
3) Mouse acceleration being forced -- I realize you want to balance gamepad users -- but there's a reason why PC games are typically played with a mouse and keyboard: Because when people want to play with a gamepad -- they use a *console*.

The game had a lot of potential.

It did not live up to it.

Now what does anyone expect from future projects?

P.S. -- Bum Has Knife definitely is excluded from the entire rant -- he did a lot for the community -- unfortunately even the best salesperson cannot sell shit-in-a-tube as lipstick.
