So the answer to the title of the thread, no, not possible to have a positive thread. Mob mentality has spoken.

Several computer generated images of a game not even assembled where no one has seen the DoTs, heard the music/sounds or seen how it flows at all have decided it all for many it seems.

I am sure they have flipping whitewoods with mechs and stuff on it. A fully assembled machine with all art, plastics, etc. good for photo ops? Possibly not.

I'm actually quite relaxed. I'll make my decision on what I feel about the game once I see the other elements.

As for the art, I personally think the LE artwork will look much better full size, physically printed and on a machine. Lighting, resolution, reflection can all change an image. I don't really like the characters presented, I am a "North" fan, so Premium will be more likely for me. You're an artist yourself, so your perspective is definitely different than mine. My artistic ability is limited to slightly creative stick figures.

Negativity on its own is useless. Criticism is fine and should be part of the process. Criticism doesn't have to be negative. People tend to go hypercritical, obsessing about ever small mistake or thing they don't like on a minute level, even going so far as to insult the people behind the work. All of the negativity starts to feed on itself and goes off the rails. That is what is senseless.
