You miss the point--according to Dave, the US version is THRU QA--they're holding it up until the foreign versions are done. That is what I object to at this point--I think we ALL have been more then patient.

Objection noted and approperiately filed.

Have a nice day.

Best,
Jerry

oooh I love it!
It's a game everyone. Read a book or something til the patch comes out. If your so unhappy with the product, return it. If you can't return it, then just walk away and never buy another activision and/ or taldren product again. If you can't afford to learn a fifty dollar lesson, you shouldn't be spending fifty dollars on a GAME. Personally, I think it's fun.

Maybe I have a negative attitude about this because we've been waiting almost three months for a patch to make this game PLAYABLE in singleplayer.

Maybe I, and people like me, have a negative attitude because this is the FOURTH STRAIGHT title from Taldren (SFC 1, SFC 2, OP, SFC 3) which has shipped with GAMEKILLING bugs out of the box.

No one these days expects perfection in a new game. I certainly don't. What I do expect, at a minimum, is to be able to PLAY the game. When a game ships with gamekilling bugs, and it's taken almost three months now, with no patch, you shouldnt get an attitude when people get pissed off about it.

You want me, and other people, to have better attitudes? Release the games in a better state.

It's February! How else do you expect them to keep it warm? Sitting on it is as good a method as any, imho.

::exit, stage right::

It would be crazy to release the patch which is only tested on one version or a patch for one version without releasing them for makign sure everyone else can play. Simply put, if they released the patch for the US version and everyone updated there servers, I wouldnt be able to play at all and as such would be rather annoyed.

Similary, if people didnt update, you guys wouldnt be able to play. In a situation like this, you have to think about everyone involved, although most here (I assume) are Americans so this probably schews a few oppinions.

I say patches for all!

P.S. Did any of you Taldren guys read my thread about stopping people not engaging but staying in game? I figure if you release another patch, if you would be so kind

Thanks,

It wouldnt surprise me if, like most software companies, Activision cut several of their QA people to save money. I have been playing EA sports NCAA Football 2003, and while EA has been a bit lacking in the Customer Service department before, I rarely have ever noticed any serious bugs in either their PC or their console games, but the game has a number of bugs, a couple of which could have been spotted if someone had tried. (one i dont think would have been caught but who would expect a fumble returned for a TD being called back for a 5-yd facemask (gave me the TD but gave them the PAT attempt, so that game ended with a final of 48-1))

Just give them time, and thank the powers that be that we are on a PC and not an unpatchable console.

Oh yeah, i also cruised through the SP campaigns, and only encountered one major bug, and all that I needed to do was reload from the saved game and play the mission again to get around it. I have seen the stuck in loading bug, but I upgraded to DX9, and I havent seen it since.

Dave is just acting like an actual human being. *laffin*

Contrary to what you may believe, I do have patience also. I just happen to think that in this case it is legitimate to feel that this process is taking WAY too long.

It just seems to me that patches for Taldren's games take MUCH longer than patches for games produced by some other *COUGH**BLIZZARD**COUGH** companies' games.

Blitzkrieg · « **Reply #138 on:** February 13, 2003, 03:07:44 pm »

How many times does it need to be said Taldren finished the patch but as the game is published by someone else it has to go through them basicaly for legal reasons. I beleive I already said thanks for finishing the patch, hurry the hell up Activision! lol
