Am I the only one who thought the actual graphics were kind of crummy? All the SS's I have seen to date seemed to have a lot more detail in them.
Don't get me wrong, the art and style are spectacular, and the animations are very good. But as far as rendering complexity, I was expecting more. This is the CryEngine after all, right? I know they were going for some lower poly counts and whatnot to scale to older systems, but they seem to have gone overboard. I was expecting them to maintain some optional complexity for those with higher-end systems to enjoy.
I'm going to give the game a fair shot, the gameplay is still the most important aspect by far(and this looks like it will deliver), I am just a little disappointed on how the game looks. I was just hoping for a MMO that performed well on a variety of systems, and still delivered a healthy dose of eye candy.
(I watched the HD version, so I don't know if it makes the quality more apparent or not)
