I wish there was a petition or something, some organized outrage over this so that we could get them to add in the E3 graphics as an add-on in a patch. It's fucking stupid. the console versions look great for a console game, why can't the PC version look good for a PC game? well it does look good, but it could be better.
And you can't start a petition why? Better still, vote with your consumer dollars and don't reward them for this bad behavior. Otherwise you're giving them your approval.
Because I'm fucking nobody. I'm some random complaining on an obscure message board in a dimly-lit corner of the internet. We need an article on Kotaku or something with a clearly outlined plan of action, and direct links to a petition if we want a successful petition.
And again, I vote with my dollars if I find that the asking price delivers value to me. I'm already "happy" with the graphics, I'm more concerned about gameplay. I didn't pre-order because I want to see what the hacking situation is post-launch. It was out of control in the beta.
Graphics aren't everything obviously, I'm more disappointed than enraged. We've seen what this engine can do. The_Worse's mod for watch dogs is incredible, restores all the fidelity of the E3 demo, that's what I want for The Div. It's not a make or break thing, it's just that it was soooo damn beautiful.
Mostly the volumetric lighting, the reflections, the tesselation, and the volumetric "fog" effects. The first 60 seconds of the first E3 trailer screams volumes of what's possible. Even if I'd get 10 FPS with these settings, if I know that it's possible then I'm much more likely to buy it, because I know that I'll be able to upgrade later on and unlock these effects. I miss having games like crysis that you could "grow into". That you could play again in a couple years time after a hardware upgrade and so HOLY SHIT, so THIS is what the game looks like. I don't want to be able to run everything on ultra on day 1. I'm fine with that.
