Yes, but that doesn't fix everything. The pop in with the trees and the road ahead are caused by hardware limitations. The Xbox 360 and PS3 only have 512MB of Ram and 256MB respectively. That is impressive that they were able to run a game that big, but that is why there are low resolution textures and lots of pop in in the game. The game will be better on more powerful systems. If it gets the Xbone/PS4/PC release it will be clear, but the PC version will come out on top.
Yes, but there where cutbacks somewhere, either Map-size, Resolution, or Frame-rate. The Textures seem to be where they focused their efforts.
I know that, and I was talking about those some when I said they were being satirical. Unless they are stupid, then they really don't take it to heart that they must trash the consoles. They are just joking around for the most part. The ones who are serious can be compared to raging Xbox, PS, or Nintendo fans.
