Tater,
If your lurk on these forums enough (SH3 through SH5), you'll notice that people are VERY nitpicky over the smallest visually oriented items. Infact, its often at ridiculous lengths. The watchword here is "immersion", and immersion seems to be defined by what they can see visually, first and foremost. Technical details is only a secondary thought, if not an freaking afterthought.
I honestly think the devs were watching the community here, and made exactly what they were clamoring for. More RPG via "The Das boot experience" (everyone seems to want to live the movie), and more "immersion" as defined through visual graphics.
