After Age of Sail 2, nothing else really seems that bad.
I will second this statement.

This post is not really hitting at the original poster of this thread in particular, it is more of a general comment on the behaviour of players on message boards. Other games which definately deserves mentioning here is

- Destroyer Command
- Neverwinter Nights 2
- The Guild 2
- Battlefield 2 (This one even managed to introduce new issues on par with the 'a' button bug in its patches)

In addition to this I do not fully support the symtomatic 'typical UBI crap' whining which is common on internet messageboards. My observations of 15 years worth of computer gaming accross 3 different platforms is that any company will release unfinished games with quite similar frequency. I do not even think it has gotten that much worse with the introduction of downloadable patches a couple of years back.

The trick as a player is to manage your own expectations, remember that patience is a virtue and that throwing eggs on messageboards is not. The trick is to make constructive critisism in a polite and mature way written in proper English.
