The whining about using AI is just irritating. Get used to it. Personally, if it means more high quality images/animations in a shorter time, I'm 100% onboard. Once AI animation comes along, it's going to mean an absolute bounty of high quality content and I'll be here for it.
The problem for this title is the massively long wait with nothing but a redux that is heartbreaking and anger inducing - and not for the first time lol. The original was just fine. It's still a good game, hope we don't have to wait another year for actual new content...
