As someone considering buying the game I find these honest postings of people's opinion of THE GAME valuable indeed, even if they say they find the graphics/animation disappointing. What really saddens me is reading so many vitriolic statements (flames) towards new RO players, simply because they have been honest about their disappointment with the purchase. It gives me an impression many in the RO community may be abrasive, dogmatic and immature.. and therefore not a game community I would want to be part of. I don't doubt many love this game, but I want to determine if I will have a good chance of loving it before forking out the hard-earned $$$. Honest reviews help. Graphics and animation ARE important to many people, without being the be all and end all either. As the good little FAQ & forum reading peanut I am, I am obviously holding out for a demo. The quality of the 3rd person animation worries me most personally. Yes the Unreal engine 2.5 is already aging, I can forgive that. But how long is it since a quality game did NOT use motion capture? That is something I am much less confident of being able to overlook. I am amazed tripwire could not have aquired some decent motion-captured animations cheaply..and adapted them..
