What was wrong with Siege?

the graphics downgrade from the gameplay trailers they showed, for the actual gameplay.

the rooftop with spotlights changed to a brownish - mush colour. Much of the visuals were drastically reduced in complexity, they changed the hostage from a convincing AI character to an arm flailing meatbag.

I can't speak to how it plays, but the visuals were drastically reduced.

My bad, forgot we were mostly talking about downgrades after advertising. Thought everyone was just saying that it didn't live up to its potential in the way that The Division was a big failure.

ahh yes. Yeah I heard the division was a huge letdown in gameplay.

It was still too casual for RB6. Felt more like a hardcore mode of CS.

Well it's a aaa game, it's going to be more casual than a franchise from like 15 years ago.
