Never forget that in this consumer world, all is ruled by the market laws and like in democracy, the ultime power belong to you, the customer.

Somebody already said that nobody of us would accept to buy a car and have to wait 6 months or more, until to be able to use it, as it was expected from the publicity. A car factory who would act this way, would disappear very soon. Why it is not the case with the PC game industry ? I set the question.

The same PC games companies, when they develop a console game, cannot act this way, because there is actually no possibility to update the game. So they must do something which is reliable and fully finished. This prove they can do it if they will or have to !!!

To my view, to publish unfinished buggy games is not admissible and therefore, I am always sad to see, on forums like this, when unhappy customers express their anger, that often, the community start to fire them. For me, negative expression, as long as it is written without injurious words is totally legitime, even if it may be not pleasant to read for some of you. It deserve the thruth, because, when a newcomer will read the forum, it will get a picture which really reflect the average feeling of the game users.

OK, we are in a free world and nobody need to think like me. Peoples can found normal that a game they buy are just unfinished and buggy. Then, can found normal then, to not really play with the game, but to have paid for being a free beta tester. Then, when the last official patch is finally issued, they will still wait until a freeware Mods like GWX come out and, at last, start to just play and enjoy the game. Most probably in a time the game start to be obsolete !!! In a time they are already waiting anxiously for the next version.

Personnaly, I would prefer that the magic AND UNIQUE time of discovering a new game, would be directly with a very achieved and solid product, who would need a patch only in rare occasions, maybe just to solve a very specific unexpected technical problem, some unfortunate customers have reveiled. For me, a company who publish a game which they perfectly know is unachieved and buggy is cynical and do not respect you. You are just considered good to be "sheared like sheeps".

If you have to wait more to get the game, for me, no problem, I would prefer to wait and have the joy of the discovery, not killed by numerous flaws & bugs. I would be even be ready to pay such a game a bit more higher price.

So, please, do not dissuade peoples who just express their personnal feeling about the game, even if it is negative or even if they fire the publisher. And understand me well, I say the publisher NOT the dev team !

Sorry, Neal, but criticals cannot all the time be constructive. As long as their are not insults and written without injurious words, you should admit them. I find also sad that you open a thread "Bugs report for SH4", even before the game is out !!! For me, this is the greatest victory for those cynical publishers, because it mean now, it is normal that a PC game come on the market unfinished and buggy.

Remember, the final power belong TO YOU the customer. Only YOU can make this change. Think about the joy it would be to play FOR THE FIRST TIME with a game like SH3+GWX.

Oh, one last question. Do you find normal that the publisher get all your money and the Mods developers nothing ? Isn't that an up side down world ?
