most people won't want to buy something looks like dog stuff
Are you loving serious with this line?
The game doesn't look like stuff. So what, some pretty lighting effects are lost. The model detail and textures are just the same. The game looks better than many games out there even without the shaders. Anybody who decides not to buy the game simply because it don't look exactly 100% to the E3 showcase is a twat.
I know you forgets all want to put on your big boy boots and feel special for laughing at a publisher, but I've seen and heard from far more people who love the game than those who have to inspect it with a magnifying glass to find all the problems. Hell, I'm playing through it again right now.
And don't bring that "He's a Ubisoft Employee so he's just shilling out" bullstuff here. I'm off-duty, I can speak freely. The game has many LEGITIMATE issues that you people could complain about, and yet you have to pick the tinniest issues to cry about. It's ridiculous.
