    Na dann sind erste Kinderkrankheiten ausgemerzt. Ist ein (für mich) musst have Spiel, aber wollte hier kein early adopter sein. Wäre predestiniert gewesen für einmal reinschauen und nie wieder kommen.

    Ich war ziemlich scharf auf das Spiel, nach ersten Tests muss ich leider sagen, dass es kein Pflichttitel mehr für mich ist. Da hilft auch ein umfangreicher Patch nicht (was ja grundsätzlich lobenswert ist).
