Shocker

So just out of curiosity i looked up some videos of what the original game was like.

HOLY CRAP, the cutscenes were 10 times better and the graphics look 3 times better in the previous game.

BUT... the combat looks HORRIBLE.

Here is just an example of what i refer to:

The graphics weren't better.

The cutscenes are also about the same. 99% of them are just our character standing around like a doofus while everything else happens.

Lol... Perfect example of blind fanboying. I love this game, have hardly anything bad to say about it, but if you're saying the graphics aren't better in 1.0 and cutscenes are "about the same"? Jesus Christ people like you make me laugh so much.

The textures were better, but the environment was very bland and heavy like 2 crysis altogether. You lost really nothing in the new version, only gained

It wasn't better, it was copy and paste, and man it was soooo GREEEEEN everywhere.

Yep graphic quality/texture resolution was a lot higher, graphic design however was inferior. Also needed a much more powerful pc to run smoothly.

My pc now same as before ran 1.0 highest settings no problems. Now with 2.0 lag lag lag, mob glitches more lag, I tend to think its more the servers over crowded now than before. Seriously in 1.0 after everyone abandon ship we had it nice. Low numbers. I will admit mmos are cpu bound more than gpu bound and more people in a given area the more cpu action you have going on. Physics is cpu bound as well unless your NVidia GPU. I'm AMD.

That combat system you think looks horrible was just an unpolished diamond waiting to shine! I'm not trying to bash ARR but everything is a huge downgrade. :/

Yeah. The removal of animation lock was a HUGE downgrade.
