    That being said, I feel like they really pushed it on the wow factor for 2.0 because they were trying to revive a total failure and needed that to draw people in. Now, it's a success and they dialed it back a bit so (hopefully) after they're vacation they can really bring they're A game to content releases vs just the pretty zones.
    Yeah, I don't think anyone will argue that 1.0's environment design was all kinds of bad. From early on in the alpha/beta releases, I was getting that impression, but wasn't sure if it was just me being unfamiliar, etc. Then the famous "copy pasta" video came out, and I thought "Okay... I'm not crazy"

    Thing is, all games re-use assets. In the best cases, they're used/reused creatively so you can never easily tell they're being reused. 2.0 pulls this off very well in its zones. HW, they got kinda lazy/sloppy with it, and it's very apparent in some spots.

    The tireless explorer/environment geek in me just hopes they take more time with future areas and bring them closer to the level of the 2.0 zones.
