lol, yeah, that's exactly what people are saying. People are extremely negative about the new Wasteland 2 info, to the point where people are saying they've lost faith in the project. That's not "omg I'm just mentioning negatives".
Funny thing is, I obviously agree completely that Wasteland 2 combat looks to be a massive improvement of Fallout's simplistic, tiresome and shallow combat mechanics, but I'm not the one FO as best game ever.
I know that if someone made something like my favourite game, which I would describe as "an improvement over its mechanics", I'd be shitting my pants in excitement, even if it lacked some improvements I'd like. Obviously I'd be sad that the improvements I'd like weren't there, but to the point of negativity towards the project? Hell no.
Hence my comment. You said "Wasteland 2 looks like shit", someone pointed out that the mechanics looked better, and you said "well, anything is an improvement of this." Makes no sense to be fundamentally critical of something that is, in your own words, an improvement over one of your favourite things.
