Honestly I don't know why you idiots are so buttblasted. For a game that is meant to hold us over for one year until gen 8, this isn't that fucking bad at all. Hell of a lot better than being forced to play USUM another year, or even worse, rush gen 8 to come out this year instead of giving it time to be a fleshed out game
