Agreed....more life in the harbors is always a good thing for immersion. :up:

I posted in another thread that they were surely working on a patch already between the times the CDs were pressed/packaged/shipped and the release date. Looks like the patch might make it out before my pre-order does. Not sure if I should be happy or irked about that. :lol: I just hope the damn thing runs without me having to buy new upgrades. VA disability checks and my meager wage dont go far.

That's great!

Hell, I'm still waiting on the second patch for M2TW (which I bought about 4 months ago) to fix some of the bad AI behaviours. This first one looks like it'll clean up all the essentials, at least, and it's out almost on release.:up:

I'm glad that they're providing a much needed patch so quickly, but this again sounds like the "release the game no matter what its current status is, we can simply offer the customers a couple hundred MB of patches later..."-routine so many publishers today seem to rely on.
Such is life in software development. Deadlines are flexible only to a very narrow degree; chances are the core features of the sim were scheduled to be completed on time no matter what; I'm guessing that the snags were decisively dropped for resolution post-release. It may piss off the customer something rotten, but it's good discipline on the part of the developer (they don't bust a deadline which could wreck the whole logistics and marketing chain) and ultimately you're going to get your fixes.

Have faith.

Hmmm....

The patch information just dissapeared from the official website. It was there just a moment ago, but now it's gone.

Boy...this oughta get the conspiracy theories rolling! :hmm:

Everytime a forum goer mentions the "release beta and patch later"-routine I die a little on the inside. Its probably true but it doesn't exactly cheer anyone up does it?

Cheer up. PLEASE! Get out of your frocks ladies, behave like men.

Hah, thats nothing compared to RTW :) Buy some Paradox games. They're buggy as HELL on release but they patch them up fast and for a LONG time after release. I just bought EU3, great game.

So Joe Lunchbox (or Sally Housecoat) buys this game, tries to play it and gets turned off from sub sims forever because of the unfinished feel. Kind of a bummer.

Sure, SH3 had problems, but I don't remember stock SH3 having this much furor over the rawness of the product. Didn't UBI make more money from the casual gamer buying SH3, not hardcore sub simmers like me and others who frequently inhabit these forums? Dunno. But again while I remember complaining about SH3 being "unfinished" when it came out, I don't remember it being this negative.

Then again I have trouble remembering what happened yesterday.... :lol:

I'm really looking forward to Neal's review. I think that's going to tell us a lot and answer some currently unanswered questions and fears we all have regarding this game. Therefore, I am waiting patiently...but with my wittle heart going pitter patter.
I dont think that "casual gamers" are really there target audiance.

To be honest. Do you care about the Lunchboxes? or the Housecoats? No? I thought so. Nor do I. Thats just putting up an argument for arguments sake isnt it?

You probably didn't have half the expectations for SH3 that you do for this game. You expect this game to outdo SH3 by a 100%. And it just cant!

Hmm, AFAIK neal gave SH3 a 100%. Was it THAT good? Not in my opinion. But it WAS good.

Casual gamers are ALWAYS the target audience. People who visit communities like this, and are active with the product online and such, only make up a microscopic percentage of the end sales of the game. Catering to the casual audience is always the foremost concern from a sales perspective.
