The big point is that games are being pushed out way to early and i'm not talkin about SH4 alone. This is starting to be a bad habit for games distributors. I'm working as a editor at a Norwegian games magazine and games are, unfortunatley, being released earlier and earlier and i see this more and more often and it get's worse. Several big titles lately has been released in a very poor state, Stalker is definatly one of them and if you take a peak in the Stalker forums you will find screams for a patch. Yes, developers are fixing things in patches but releasing a game they KNOW is full of bugs and more or less unfinished, is just not acceptable. I want to play games as they are intended to be played. Mods are fun and great but it's not the gamers job to make a game playable.We pay for a product, some hardcore gamers buy 2-4 games each month, and they do expect to get a game that IS FINISHED. So do i. I don't want to read forums, search through tons of mods just to have a game in a playable state.When i buy a game i want to play it. Not wait a month or 4 to have it fixed and then play it. I really don't like the "rush out, fix some later and forget" policy some of the big companies has started to use. I wonder what would happen if every gamer waited a month or two before buying.
