@Xen, not really. Like I said in my previous post, his rant was poorly done and made false or weak claims to support his views like saying an HDTV cost $1,500 and that an HD game doesn't look good on an SDTV. I scrolled and glance through some of the other paragraphs and saw he complained about the paradigms scene, which is another dumb complaint, imo, since you leave yourself open in the other games as well when you're going to cast a spell. It seems he just nitpicks and tries to hate everything about it.

The only person I've seen that actually gave good constructive criticism of the game was Kyliedog...as usual.

Ugh, how is the paradigm scene in any way a dumb complaint?  in a game where timing is everything and a split second delay could mean the difference between yet another death or managing to survive, having that small amount of lost time will result in frustration.  I cannot tell you how many times I died during a paradigm shift animation because I was temporarily unable to defend myself, heal, or put up a sentinel.  

This is the kind of minor tweak that should have been caught in the testing phase and the fact that they kept it in means it was a deliberate decision they kept in for a reason.  It would have taken one coder an hour to fix it, but no...they chose to keep it.  That's bad design that results in cheap deaths and frustration.  

*Edit* I also need to point out that your assertion that my claim that an HDTV costs 1500 bucks was bogus is also bogus.  I was talking about in early 2010, in canada, where I live.  the cheapest one I could get around here at the time was 1299.99, and that was a 36 inch LCD screen, anything 40 inches or more was 1400+, and when you factor in Ontarian Tax (which I think was 14% at the time, it's 13% now), that's over 1500 dollars. Stop with the accusations of ignorance, just because I have an opinion that is different from yours or different from the majority doesn't mean I'm wrong or that I'm just making bold, ignorant claims.
