I hear ya man. I didn't play the Alpha or Beta but I hear the experience was quite different. I also didn't watch the E3 reveal until after I bought the game so that kinda helped haha. Although games are almost never exactly what they're advertised to be so it's really not that surprising. I love this game more for what I know it could be than what it is. Granted I don't have too many issues with what it is now.
