Guys... and this is just my humble opinion...
Once you get your hands on this game... if this is something that
really gets to you to the point where you'd put this game down... you can't be pleased.
I think people are harping on this a little too much. There's so much good in the game.... just wait until you see for yourself. I agree I wish it wasn't there (haven't seen it myself) but... from the looks of it, it is.
Just my take. Obviously not going to change anyone's mind but there it is anyway.
Enjoy.
