But really, what makes it hardcore to begin with? time sink? I sunk less time into dark souls than i did a Zelda game and DS was much harder. I've heard complaints galore about what people see but little or no constructive feedback on how to change it, except from a few level headed folks. I hate to sound like an asshat but "I'd like to see you make a better game".

Myself I've thought it would be awesome to merge the MMO style of world and gameplay and have Soul Caliber style fights with epic boss monsters, but would this really be possible with current technology? Could internet connections realistically pump out enough data to keep up with that level of play? Could processors handle drawing that many battles going on? So on and so fourth.

I think having disparaging comments like most I see on the forums is more of a hindrance than a help. I wish people were considerate when leaving feedback. The creators of the game are real people. With how nasty things can get its a good thing they have people filter out the garbage posts, if I were Yoshi-P and I saw the stuff I do on a daily basis, I would probably say "you know what, I give up. There is no way to please everyone so lets just shut the whole project down."
