Yes it is wrong but we are not talking about sony here we,re talking about taldren a very small company and as software companys go they live on a knife edge for instance here in the u.k the mighty rage who made some brill games (anyone played hostile waters very cool) in their time has just been dismantled and the guys are splitting up to go work for other software firms which is very sad they made classic games (mags said hostile waters was one of the next gen games for the millenium and it got reviews of 90% and over but it just not sell well enough unlike that piece of crap the sims )...

Ah, the omnipresent bug complaints... Now, do you really think that posting how unplayable this game is on the devs' forum will encourage them to speed up the release of the patch? Please...
Possibly, Taldren games are over the average in buginess, but i fail to see the point in whining about the same problems over and over again. If you continue to annoy (no offense intended) the devs, then you will simply be ignored.
If you happen to run into a bug, report it, and let them fix it. They will (or at least they did with SFC2). If they don't, then don't buy their next game.
I don't think it's ok that a late beta is sold like a finished product, but the fact is, it has been done. So what. Life isn't fair. After all, if they got your money and you are disappointed by the quality of the product, all you can do is... not to buy the expansion (and come here to complain).
They could seat back and enjoy, because they know that there is a trek fan legion that will buy whatever they throw at them. Instead of that, they read these boards and (supposedly) try to fix the game.
My point after all this crap is that whining is a waste of your time (Hmm... I'm replying so i guess it's a waste of mine too ) and it doesn't really produce anything valuable. This is a proven fact.
BTW I am NOT a fan of Taldren, I just realized that liking SFC3 is much better than hating it.
And I have run into several bugs in both SFC2 and SFC3...

How did this game get released? GREED
The executives at Activision consulted with their bean counters.
Conclusion: Nemesis is being released to theatres at the end of 2002, we want the game "out the door" by then.
Reasoning: Shove a theatre admission in the box, purport a patch to fix all the troubles(100+ at last count) and we
can take the money and run. Hopefully our client base will just piss and moan on the forum sites until we can get
the final version working. This should placate them for the time being.
Result: Star Trek genre gamers feel taken advantage of and generally distrustful of the publisher and designer.
Future: Reduced sales on upcoming releases due to customer loyalty being compromised.
Activision executives fire bean counters to re-coup the losses.

I made this post because I was annoyed at the quality of the game at its release.
I'm not trying to speed up the release of the patch, far from it. I'm saying the game should not have been so flawed.
I'm positive the patch would have been out by now if Taldren didn?t have so many problems to fix in the first place.
As far as the small company issue goes...well...its tough [censored] basically. If Taldren wants to be a big player then they will have to just bring up their game (what a pun! ).
Sorry guys, this is the big league now.

You know, there is a rising tide of hostility in politics and society in general. It's a damn shame some people think the only way to get things done or solve problems is to yell louder than the next guy. I understand the frustration. I believe you ought to be able to state your opinion. But, come on, purely negative posts amount to nothing. These problems/bugs, you have any idea how to solve them? Get that negative stuff out of the way and make positive suggestions that we all can think about and respond to in turn. Peace.
