DN4 isnt a game, its a myth.
Games that dont require patchs (however minor) are the exception, not the rule. Im not overly concerned bout it. If you want to see a game that the ball was totally dropped on, just look at most any game that was developed in russia, and published by a western publisher.
A good example would be a game called "Boiling point", man, what a let down. That thing has a big honking memory leak somewhere. 2 gigs of ram, 512 megs of video ram, and after 20 mins playing my system crawls progresivly slower and slower.
