So, how many more people are going to drop by and junk up the thread by announcing they Won't Play It Ever, before we can discuss the game?
Not that I don't love arguments and complaints that are several years old but...... oh wait.. that thing I just said.
Says the guy who did just that in the Torchlight 2 thread.
The horrible decisions made in developing the game are just as worthy of discussion as every other part of the game.
it seems people are viewing the past through rose tinted glasses. Google some major games you enjoyed and add the words rocky launch. This phrase has been used a lot since 2008. Every FPS and EVERY MMO have had trouble with people being able to play them for the first few days. The problem is clearly with the game companies treating us like drug addicts who line up for the abuse with our money in hand. Can't blame them. I don't like it, but we just keep going along with it.
Skyrim, Rage, MW3/2/1, every MMORPG, Batman series, Brink, Dead Island, Darkspore, Fallout 3, Fable 3, etc.
Again, MMO's don't count because by their very nature they're way more prone to have server issues, and there is no singleplayer. As for the rest, only some of those games had anything near a rocky launch, and the ones that did are still in the minority. Skyrim, MW3/2/1, fallout 3, brink, batman series... These were all playable at launch with hardly any problems. I can't find anything saying fable 3 had a rocky launch. They may have had some bugs, but you could put the disc in and play the game. My point is that yeah, some games have bugs at launch, but there's a HUGE difference between a product having problems, and a product being unusable. And it's doubly annoying when the product is unusable because of asenine DRM.
Saying that there hasn't ever been a major game release that wasn't rendered unplayable for 1-2 days at launch is just insane.
