You post Battlefield glitches as an argument that the particular game is glitchy? I bet we could find five times as many RO2 glitch videos if the game was as popular..
Your argument is weird.
Furthermore, in reply to the original poster.
We're not too hard on Tripwire.
Why?
Because this is a full priced game sold as a full game. We paid real money for it.
We got a beta. We did not get a full priced full game.
We got a full priced beta.
That, my friend, is why everyone is complaining.
If we dont complain when developers release incomplete games it is the same as saying "here, take my money, give me any load of buggy incomplete junk you want and i'll be happy".
No. We must always expect more. At the very LEAST expect a full working complete game!
Don't reply with "all games have bugs". Thats not the point. The point is that games can not be released in this state and then expect the customers to just be happy PAYING for it.
If you bought a loaf of bread at the store, and when you came home you found that it was utterly riddled with maggots and fungus inside, would you be happy?
What if you bought a new DVD or bluray movie and it was glitching and scratched or couldnt play properly, would you be happy?
Hell no. Games have no reason to be any different in expectations of quality.
If you pay, you have the right to expect a certain level of quality. That is the very basic core principle of the capitalistic society we live in. Yet somehow the pc games industry utterly fails to realize this, and we keep getting broken buggy messes on release.
Why? Because we can't do jack about it. We cant return games. We cant get them replaced by working copies (obviously). We can't sue. We can't do anything. If you buy a loaf of bread, a movie or some physical object that doesnt hold up to the quality as advertised, you can just return it or replace it.
With games you can't do jack. You pay and hope to god what you get isnt broken.
And if it is, dont sit there and tell us we dont have the right to complain, when we PAID for it..
And yes, i'm convinced that this very promising game will be great and finished and fixed at some point in the future. But the main point is that we paid for the game NOW, we do not pay LATER when it is fixed. We paid NOW and as such we are entitled to expect a full finished quality game NOW, not later.
If there was a method of paying later when the game has the major issues ironed out, none of us would be in this mood. None of us.
The fact is, we pay NOW for something in the state it is in NOW.
The end.
