[xer0s]

Ohhh, I thought you meant bad as in good. Ya know, "That shit is bad!" (That shit is good!)

No thanks, I'm fine with the healthcare I have. Cheers.

FYI, SoM is Canadian - best of both worlds.

You posted this to reenforce my point, right?

[fKd]

in 2010 gfx look like this? wow, ugly as fuck

[shaft]

aren't they still using the same engine as Oblivion? (2006)

[Mat Linnett]

Yup.

Two Problems:
Xbox 360 Version.

1: - I keep getting stuck in Walls.

2: - About 1 in 20 times I enter a Building, I will Autosave but I will be stuck in a wall. Which means if I haven't Manually Saved recently, I have to go back and replay potentially hours worth of stuff that I have already done.

Buggy as Hell.

I have the distinct feeling that bkb's post is being ignored here by a select few posters.

I had that all the time in F3, I think it was an ATI driver version thing because that and the ice skating stopped after I rolled back / updated.

Are the bugs limited to a certain platform, or is it buggy all across the board?

And are these bugs something the developers are likely to fix with a patch, or more likely to say fuck it?

who?

[Dessicated corpse]

Is Fallout good? I might think of getting it.

[brisk]

It's brilliant. I'm even playing as a woman this time, with the hope of seducing some men and then slitting their throats as they sleep.

[xer0s]

You're talking about Fallout 3 though, right?

[Dr_Watson]

i did want to play this after dabbling with fallout3, hoping it'd be a tighter game.
ah, well. a nice character focused rpg is something i'd like to delve into atm. everything out and on steam atm though looks to be bugged, broken or just shit. may just have to play chrono trigger again

never got around to that when I had a SNES but I've been playing that on my phone lately. Pretty fun game.

It's broken on all platforms but the PC already has a patch to address some of the more serious game ending issues.

The recent rash of games coming out this year with unacceptable quality levels makes me wonder if the global recession is finally hitting the game industry. At least it seems that game testers are the first batch of expendables to get the axe when payroll needs to be trimmed.

[bam!]

why pay testers when the public at large are willing and stupid enough to pony up for the chance to beta an unfinished product?

[MKJ]

this is not a new trend yknow. especially westwood used to be guilty of piddla's tactic. later on EA knew how to play this game as well.

does that make it ok tho? fuck no

[Dr_Watson]

So why do game consumers accept an unfinished product when we'd be outraged if we payed for a wobbly table?

[MKJ]

because gaming hasnt been mainstream long enough, and is still viewed as arcane trickery by most.

[Dr_Watson]

so maybe we should all grow a pair now that games are big business.

Yes, but it has nothing to do with the industry releasing unfinished games.

So why do game consumers accept an unfinished product when we'd be outraged if we payed for a wobbly table?

Because consumers are fucking idiots and have allowed this trend to continue/get worse.

Finally? Have you got any idea how many studios were closed and/or or had to sack massive amounts of people the past 1,5 year? That's the recession for ya.
