It makes you think, doesnt it? Its alot like the Unreal Engine 3 fiasko, where they focus so incredibly on every aspect of the graphics, but totally forgetting about the one thing that makes or breakes immersion, anti-aliasing.
Except in the Silent Hunter world, it is the sky (since you'll see it alot).
