Let me make a comparison. And, for the record I do so for the purpose to express my own feelings on the 2.0, not to disparage and anyone else.
Fast and the Furious 6 is coming out. The first one was passable. Cars, guns, girls good stuff. Now, I don’t know the in and out details of Fast 6, but by looking at the actors, clips and knowing how movie plots deteriorate, I can use my analysis skills to conclude that this is NOT a movie I want to see.
The first Malifaux was great, but looking at the clips, the ideas discussed and the direction the game is going it is something I don’t want to see. Could I be wrong, maybe, but my years of practical experience tell me doooooom. Maybe I one day see Fast and the Furious 6 on a plane somewhere and it is great. But if it is, it is the exception, not the rule.
I can conclude without knowing details that I would not like Fast 6, just like I can conclude without knowing details that I would not like Malifaux 2.0
