E-sport has been on Russ's mind since closed beta, and everything has lead to that, but it's going to fail, without anything supporting it, or at least a fun quick play.
Guild Wars worked because it had people buying copies because of the story lines it built up a fan base. GW2 hasn't been as popular because it deviated from the original pattern to much while still having many of the originals bugs.
This game has nothing to support it in the same way, and hasn't got enough of a player base.
Solaris will sooner or later become a ghost town like FP for much of the same reason, FP did.
Joe Average has little chance of even a small amount of glory, can't even grind a good solo story line, so it will not get used by the people P.G.I and others expect to pay to keep the game running, which will be P.O by lack of FW or P.O'd by lack of population if Russ does back tract.
It's not just the bad mobility that makes the game dull, it's just not exciting anymore, because every single step of the way the various projects have either been badly delayed or less than a third finished, when launched.
MW5 already looks dumbed down from the alpha launch.
Paul's total lack of grasping the brawl AC concept, just shows how little he understands, his own game, and lack of interest in listening to advice.
Ironically this whole unfunning project project has shone a light on certain aspects of the community, and how some have almost echo's P.G.I's statement of we know what we're doing the community should shut up, and get on playing with the game.
With comments about how the potato's should have no say in the thought process of the game and what makes it fun for them.
I do hope that the group that have worked hard, to present an alternative, have taken into consideration what is good for them, may not be good for those lacking their level of skills, or the result even if P.G.I use some of it, will be the same, a game that closes due to lack of interest.
We'll find out when the results are shown
I just wanted to quote this post as i feel 100% the same about 100% of what you said.
