Am I the only one who thinks that strict control of review publish deadlines smells worringly like turkey?
That's a 10-4 good buddy. People are (quite understandably) fearing it'll be Hellgate London all over again.
A lot of what they've enthused endlessly over is not that great when you think about it. 17 million weapons? Whoop dee doo, you run the stats of each gun I find through a random number generator. And Pandy Richfork thinks that this is in fact a great idea, as it could mean a noob will find a top-level gun early on.
I've also been told that you're stuck with the four basic characters, only doing a palette swap on their clothes. Which will likely mean when people work out the optimum balance we'll see teams of two Bricks, a Roland and a Lilith (for example). Or three Mordecais and a Roland. (face it, Roland is going to rock, he's the medic)
Still looking forward to it, albeit with increasing caution. I almost hope my living room isn't finished by Friday as it means I'll be able to read the review instead of blinding purchasing it and discovering it's shit.
