A lot of the time themepark mmos even though they are focused on story telling, have bad stories or at least uninteresting ones. Instead, it just becomes a chore skipping dialog and grinding long quests. The world doesn't feel organic as they intend…
Originally posted by hail2dathief Lets say that you get 6k people to buy your game based on the fact it supports the mac. You're product is a minimum $60, so at a minimum you are gonna make 360k just on box/digital sales alone. Now lets say that y…
Also a lot of people don't know that Microsoft owned part of Apple for awhile back when Apple was about to call it quits when they lost the war. I think it was around 20-30% at the time. They probably still own some of it today although it would amo…

Here's hoping that people are actually reporting these bugs instead of just rage-quitting and then bashing the game... but somehow I doubt it.

Originally posted by hannibalektr Originally posted by spidii I agree, I'm not sure why but this beta weekend has actually been worse than the previous few. I'm seeing more bugs and so many are gamebreaking and insanely frustrating. The thing that…

Originally posted by Digna Originally posted by Megilindir Originally posted by Redhawk2006 it has now become the industry standard to release games in a buggy, dysfunctional state and take forever to fix longstanding bugs. The reason for that …
Finally, other experienced beta testers talking some sense. The developers are pretty much idiots. The game should've been done 2 months ago and at this point they should've opened it to the public/media as a demo of what the full game is, not a bug…

Complaining about bugs during a beta is beyond ridiculous, regardless of how far away launch is. You have no idea what they plan to fix before launch and finding bugs is the main point of beta testing.
How many be…
