I got to say I am pretty much the same way. I try not to freak the hell out if something is not right. But I also expect quality for my money. I do my research before hand so I don't get burned by a product of lesser quality.
I agree where people are coming from on how certain things should be included in this day and age of gaming. But in the same terms I also see the financial side of a business decision and how that direction might not always agree with some people.
I just try to keep a more neutral tone on games. The last game I freaked out on was UFC 2010. But that was warranted lol, they destroyed a quality product in UFC 2009 by releasing the garbage of UFC 2010. My "worse" game of the year award goes to UFC 2010.
