disappointment at the slight.
'Slight' or sight?
In this context, 'slight' in its meaning of "deliberately overlook in order to insult or offend" is appropriate.

Oh. I was thinking 'slight of hand', but was still a bit confused even with that context.
And HTML doesn't work with forum topics, Alarm!
Ok, now I'm being pedantic.
To the topic, then:
Its amazing how big publishers always complain about the 'lack of real talent' flowing around in the industry nowadays, how they constantly claim to 'innovate' new genres by just polishing the same old stuff. Finally, when a game such as Okami comes along - a real bohemian, magical experience - what do they do? Discredit the original team for absolutely all the hours of hard work they put into the game. After all, think of all the sighs and rolling eyes they received when trying to explain the concept to people. Now, when it's finally gaining mainstream attention, they can't even be properly praised for their efforts? I think its both ironic and outrageous.
