[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 3774242, member: 18"] I have to say, I'm not exactly unhappy with the coverage we've had so far. I'd love to see more, but info seems to be coming in at slow, steady pace, and as long as that continues, it'll be cool. Certainly the info release-rate seems as high as or higher than 3E, from what I remember (it's quite a while ago now, but I followed 3E from the very first announcements, mostly at this site in it's earlier incarnations), though I seem to remember being told about the upcoming release a lot longer before it occurred (2 years instead of what, ten months?). So maybe they should up the pace a little... What rot. It's not "disrespectful", that's petty and thin-skinned. He's being honest, and whilst you don't have to agree with his assertion, it's not disrepectful of him to say it. As for "painting things worse than they are", well, that's all opinion, and it's not something he's "not allowed" to say, as you are quite clearly and definately stating. If Chris Perkins says encounter design "didn't work", that's his opinion as a game designer, and if you're going to talk about "respect" you need to "respect" that, mate. For you there may be a gaping gulf between "doesn't work", and "is crap", but for others, there may not be, so don't try and mind-read or worse, force everyone to speak "your way". It's not respectful. [/QUOTE]
