I think on/since release people were very much entitled to be disappointed with the state of the game - it was very early EA and especially considering it had been in development for 8 freaking years...There seems to be some negativity in the forums occasionally, therefore threads like these are needed. Just like Ying and Yang is part of our everyday lives, so is love and hate.
People love the game so much that they spite hateful comments on the forums because of it. Ying and Yang.
One can perhaps also liken it to the battle between good and evil. Evil being the non-constructive belligerent hate threads, and the good being the detailed constructive feedback and bugfixing threads.
There is something philosophical about all of this. How we all come together to either criticize or praise this game. How an ancient Chinese philosophy is often correct.
There is beauty in these forums and our interactions here. Even if those interactions consists of unintelligible memes and snarky remarks.
Peace,

Development since then has not exactly been lightning fast - at all. However we are now in the awkward stage where realistically the game is actually not as bad as people say (or anywhere near as good as people want it to be) - but we have regrettably been divided into tribes where the only acceptable positions are 'white knighting' or 'complaining'.
This game is very much a case of 'Perfection is the enemy of the good'. Bannerlord will be a good game - will it be everything we ever hyped ourselves up for? No - at least not before the modding community gets involved.
...but it has become clearer and clearer that the base of the game is at least 'adequate' . It's fun; I've already got 500+ hours in it; becoming my 3rd or 4th most played steam game before it's proper release. If TW were sitting there calling the game release-ready; then this would be a different conversation... but no. They just pushed the release indefinitely. Hell it may take another freaking 5 years... but we will get there.
So in-summary: Really every thread in this forum should be a shade of grey - but I guess it is easier to take extreme views then it is moderate ones.
