Gotta love everyone complaining about something they didn't pay for anyway. Also, just from the expectations point of view and mentality of people, anything Illusion gives out is not gonna be better than AA2. Nothing's gonna be good enough. Don't get me wrong. I love AA2. Play it to this day. But I always give Illusion a chance. Even AI Girl. It was an effort on something new and interesting. If Illusion won't go broke due to poor sales and actually makes some money, maybe they'd make AA3 or it's equivalent.
Also. The game came out yesterday. Give it some slack. Not even the studio is attached yet. Playing through it I noticed it gets more interesting later on. More options and such. It's not anything ground-breaking, but it's better than nothing. That doesn't mean of course that consumers and fans should be just happy with mediocre stuff, but to get something up, you gotta show it support. So basically, if you ever wanna see AA3, or at least have a better chance to one day see it, buy the game proper. Basic risk/reward crap.
