Some advice for you guys.

Post » Sun Jun 06, 2010 4:57 am

If like me your guna moan about unfinished games and us paying for what is basically a beta then heres some advice. Don't listen to companies like ign that are clearly paid to reviews these games, just wait until the game has been released for a week and keep an eye on the official forums. As you can see from these forums people will speak the truth and actually tell you what condition the game is in.

If your going to listen to the hype and impulse buy like sheep then you have noone but yourselves to blame. I think people are actually beginning to take this into consideration now and games publishers are going to lose so much money if they dont pull there socks up.

If we all stand together then we will get a decent finished product that we can all enjoy, this is all i want crysis and any future releases to be

This is the time I advise not to listen to IGN at all. Waiting a week would be beneficial, but the fact is people have waited years for a game and secured themselves a copy via a pre-order. People are going to find it very hard to resist the temptation to but the game they are hyped for, while people on their friends list are enjoying it.

Waiting months or years for a game, looking forward to it and then pre-ordering doesn't make people a sheep. I loved Dragon Age: Origins. Actually words don't express how much I liked that game. So when BioWare announced a sequel, I pre-ordered to make sure I have the signature edition. Now, I love Dragon Age 2, I think its fantastic. But am I a sheep for buying it when a large chunk of the community hate it but I don't? Am I a sheep for buying it even though I played the demo beforehand and as such, knew how it would play? No. Crysis 2 had a demo, and people knew that even though it was old code, the final game would still have issues. No game (esp with MP) has a flawless launch. You can guarantee that Brink and Duke Nukem Forever will have Splash Damage and Gearbox fixing what the community want. While they look promising, they won't have a flawless launch. Oh, and chances are Battlefield 3 will have issues before anyone thinks DICE are gaming Gods.

If we all stand together then we will get a decent finished product that we can all enjoy, this is all i want crysis and any future releases to be

We all want that, but realistically with deadlines, competition launches, and a publisher that will grow impatient after a while, its impossible for every MP to work perfect at launch.

The lack of communication from Crytek is sad . I'm mean its amazing these guys are saying next to nothing on the forums . I mean come on you can't tell me they don't have time for a weekly update at least . Just to kinda say hey we are working on huge patch let you guys know how its going next week or sooner . Like I said sad

I'm only saying all MP games have problems at launch and that not everyone who buys a game is a sheep.

Though admittedly Crysis 2 does need a patch ASAP.

i keep telling ppl this on every other new fps, but ppl are stupid and dont listen, but unfortunately this is the bed publishers are making for themselves. gamers gonna get fed up of rushed out games, and eventually start boycotting new releases.

about sheep thing, ppl get caught up in hype, its true, but doesnt make everyone a sheep i agree

True. Eventually people will have enough of rushed/unfinished games but for the forseeable future I don't see it happening. This Gen has all been about 'meet deadline, patch later'. Publishers want to eradicate the second hand market... well releasing unfinished games isn't helping them in that!

by the sheep thing i meant people dont wait and use there brains they dont stand together to help the situation they just go ahead and buy things, the amount of people that bought dlc's for black ops before it was even fully patched. All im saying is if the community actually stand together for once then the devs and pubs will pay attention. But the odd person moaning here and there is not guna get anything done

But gamers won't stand up though will they. You mentioned Black Ops... we are all aware of its issues on PS3 yet as you said, people still bought the map packs. Its not gonna' happen for the forseeable future though.

yeah well its a thought though and you've just proved my argument there about people being sheep they wont stand up together, to be honest its only since companies have started these forums that people have had a chance to have there say and it still doesn't seem to make any difference anyway. I wont be pre ordering any future releases from ea or activision thats for sure.

People I would consider sheep are people that buy the same yearly updates no matter whether its improved or not (like the CoD crowd).

Though I don't pre-order Activision games anyway. I'm not about to put more money into Kotick's wallet.

I'd be very very surprised if mw3 isn't a flop like black ops there wont be anything new or exciting that hasn't been done before. I might even start up my own game reviewing channel just for the people and actually give honest reviews, stating a games potential and to avoid it on release until its fixed
