Getting a 'sinking' feeling about SH5

[Adriatico]

I promised to keep away from SHV forum for two months... but you forced me to open my mouth just one more time:

That statement is in no way intended to muzzle anyone who disagrees. I just believe that we should judge the game when it's actually released, and not judge it based on glimpses of the game probably released by Marketing and not by the Devs.

What is it... that you can't see?
He get a feeling based on screenshots and promotional videos. So what is he supposed to get?
He never mentioned a final judgment.
These screenshots and videos are made to rise impressions and feelings - and have no other purpose... so it is the most logical thing in this world: if you release promotional video on web - to bare impressions and feelings

"...and none of the options menu screens."
Do you think that "menu screens" would propose to you:
- to move periscope from far right to central position ?
- to remove cartoonish white outline from pointed parts of interior ?
- ...etc

"just believe that we should judge the game when it's actually released"
Of course, we should... but when you get it on your hard disc - you can change zero (0)
This is a "last minute" desperate attempt to point out some features that we (final users) feel as wrong... provided that Devs care about it ?

"...probably released by Marketing and not by the Devs"
What difference does it make who has released them ?
Marketing is just presenting what Devs made...

If we should rise our impressions when the game is released... what is purpose of this SHV forum... opened months before release ?
