After six years of waiting we end up with crap like this, it's unbelievable! Not sure nor care who is the root cause behind all of it doesn't really matter.
This makes me want to go five-year-old on everyones' ass directly or indirectly contributing to this crap: I don't give a sh*t about the seizures of any epileptic person on this planet! Strap yourselves to your gaming chair and wear a helmet when starting up any game for the first time just in case! But legislators and companies, don't create directives that go overboard and affect everyone else. Make it optional, create 10-time approval clicking process, make players sign a paper before playing or whatever, but not this. (No crap meant to the ones suffering from the disease, but there are limits to everything.)
I'm sure there are million things in TV and real life that can significantly increase a risk of epileptic seizure. But I haven't seen much else than warnings texts so far. Just look at your average cartoon these days! It'll give an average grown-up a heart attack just to be in the same room.
All of this sure shows how the legal system is abused these days and companies need to prepare for the worse because of too many idiots and creed. Pouring hot coffee on yourself or giving a butcher knife to your kids to play with can make you rich unless some manual tells that coffee is hot and knifes are not toys. Jesus Christ!
One can argue that this can be an unforseeable adverse event for an individual not aware of his / her tendency for epilepsy. But so is marathon for a senior citizen in the form of heart attack or cerebral hemorage, and there they are running around with no legal responsibility attached to the organization arranging the event.
Before any solicitation takes place there should be a sanity board filtering out all the crap in a five minute session:
1) Did you die, get a permanent handicap or serious mental trauma from your incident?
2) Was the cause of the incident your own stupidity or lack of common sense or real neglect from the manufacturer of ignoring an true safety concern in the product or service in question?
If not, go cry somewhere else.
My pre-order will be cancelled today until reports of decent frame rates with decent settings on atleast a top-end PC.
And before smart asses start offering tissues and asking people to calm down I say that there is a limit to tolerance and mine was crossed here. Been all but supportive for my entire stay at these forums but with no smooth gameplay, there is no game for me. And I think there is every right to be upset even though it's 'just a game'. I atleast have been waiting for years to get my hands on it and will invest heavily on HW to be able to run it. So it is kind of a big thing!
Don't have enough information to know who's miss this is at the end of the day and I don't really care either. I just want it to be fixed before I'm chipping in to this party.
And I truly hope that these issues are mitigated in very near future and all of this will be put behind us as the stage fever driven anxiety attacks!
