What if what everyone is seeing from the leaks and what are the main complaints of the community (at least from a technical and graphical standpoint) is because we are seeing a game that is pre-day one patch? What if GF held back some of the polish and sparkle of the games so to make leakers discouraged from playing and distributing the game early?

I have little to no experience in game design, but I'd like to think what we will get on Friday may be a much more polished version of the game in comparison to what is being shown off. It happens pretty often that disks and cards are shipped with a complete story but 80%ish of the flash and awe from the few times I've been shipped a game early on accident.

Personally, I'll keep my hopes up. I'm still excited for the games, even for some of the faults these games introduce, because I love that they are trying something new to shake it up a bit. Flawed perhaps, but still, I love these little creatures. For the friends I've lost who couldn't make it here and the ones that I will be enjoying it with, I hope you all have a good week running up to the release!
