My theory on Betesha games is that they always lack something to make me quite want to play them longer than 1 hour, BUT for each game they release they tend to be a very steady 10% improvement (not counting the updated graphics),
So my theory is one of these days I'm going to really like a Betesha game
might be this one or might be 5 sequels from now
I'm annoyed that they are making yet another engine from scratch, I hate it when they do that as it means that when the engine finally is done they have to hurry to make a real game out of it before the deadline is extended too far, I wish they would just get Unreal Engine 3 and focus their effort on the art of the game instead of re-inventing the wheel for 4 years,
but I guess it's all about business that they don't want to have to pay the royalties percentage to Epic, too bad.
