I only played about 90 minutes of the game when it first came out (pre-ordered, like a moron in retrospect). This seems promising, probably going to play through now that they've seemingly patched back in some of what we were seeing in the preview demos last year.

So they made a new game then basically?

I'd be interested in hearing how this turns out.

Maybe the game will now be "good enough" to warrant a purchase at 5$ later this year.

Not necessarily. It probably means the game installs a couple of very large files instead of a bunch of smaller files.

Fixing the enemy AI is a step in the right direction, but things like textures and lighting won't really have any effect on the core problems of the game that its just really middling in most every way. :||||

I can handle games that aren't so great as long as they aren't a buggy mess. Since they've fixed some significant things I'll definitely try this. Someday. When it hits a very low price on a weekend Steam deal.
