How do ya suppose they keep the game the same without flash Lonnie?
The reactions of some are typical whenever something old and great is changed. Not sure if ya'll play other games but similarities are abound.
They take what was awesome and replace it with something new and different and the world has a cow.
Give it a try and let them work out the kinks instead of ... well it doesn't look or feel the same so that = terrible. Actually spend time (more than a round or 2 maybe!) playing it before casting judgment so quickly.
