Honestly, if you'd have asked me five days ago who, if anyone, had the same basic facial model as in the last gen games, I doubt I could have said with any confidence that I knew for sure. Personally, it's just not so much on my radar; I'm more fixated on the gameplay, balance, and multiplayer/online experiences in terms of areas where I've felt let down--and not super let down: more 80-85% on the basic nuts an bolts stuff. That is, respectable but I have gripes. In terms of style, I've been mostly quite pleased, especially as CaS grows, and the only one glaring (but indeed quite significant) flaw in the visual design of the game is the stages, which have never been fewer or more meh collectively. This all makes me curious: now that we've had six months plus experience with the game, and patching is proceeding, with signs of ongoing support for a little while at least, how is this game overall shaping up in terms of it's rank as a solid entry in the franchise, among fans? I'm tempted to start a survey.
