I assume they will actually make chronometer work as it supposed to right.

This patch isn't even out yet.

If the publsiher ships copies for review, and if they ship these to the shelves for people to purchase, that's what gets reviewed. It's up to the publishers to decide what they want to push out the door.

Thats just being lazy. If there is a patch right after release and your deadline isnt up, use it. It is that simple. No one said you can't talk about that in your review. But if there is a patch, and it fixes some of the things you didn't like about the game, tell that as well. Thats being fair and objective isnt it? Not imagining some thought up demographic of people that reads game reviews and buy games off the shelves and do never patch.

Yes, of course I was a Joe Housesweater or what ever years ago. But guess what, EVEN BACK THEN GAMES WERE BUGGY! That didn't turn me off gaming. This "the average" consumer stramwan argument drawn up everytime sickens ME to the bone. Yes, we all want games without bugs. It shouldn't have to be stated so often (and stating it so often doesn't seem to work anyways, so why waste everyones time with it?).

PC Gamer, definitely (Doom 3 review anyone?)....CGW (Games For Windows) not so much.

Depends how much they are dependent on "good relations" to publishers. It is beyond me why people buy these mags anyways

All things game is out on the intarwebs for free.

My god this Dev team kicks ass. I havent even got the game yet on pre-order and there's almost a patch :rotfl:

CrocodileDundee · 03-22-07, 03:39 AM

There's no word of a patch anywhere on the UK site. Checked the US site as well (looked at the German one, but my German is pretty rudimentary, so I can't be sure). Are u sure this 'patch' is not just someone pulling your leg on the forum?

Yes, its a real patch...its on the official forums for SH4. I hope its out no later than Friday.

CrocodileDundee · 03-22-07, 04:48 AM

Sober> thx man, but I had already seen it before I posted. I was talking about their official page (http://silenthunter4.uk.ubi.com/); I wandered if the announcement was 'official' so to speak... With all due respect for moderators on these forums, 'ubi_related_dudes' & so forth, I can't believe they're gonna put up a patch yet. Call me a skeptic.

Fri (23rd) is the official release date in the UK. Do you really think they're gonna put up a patch on the release day?

I hope I'm wrong, but I guess it will be a while.

RedHammer · 03-22-07, 05:45 AM

On filefront the patch is out, but you suddenly have to be registered to see the content? :P But hopefully it will be out soon.. I am dying to get the TDC fixed so I can start sinking some tonnage!

S!

And if you try to download it, you are taken to Terms of Service Agreement page, and if you argeed them then you go to your account homepage. If they just uploaded it and then they release when game is officially released.

I'm a member but the page is blank, you can click on download but goes nowhere!

Ragtag · 03-22-07, 06:13 AM

I'll provide a mirror link as soon as i get my hands on the patch

Laffertytig · 03-22-07, 06:34 AM

i couldnt agree more with the comments made by the game reviewer above.

to immacolata

your argument about why reviewers should install patches before reviewing games doesnt cut it. u seem to forget that around 97% of people who buy SH4 wont even know what a patch is never mind to install one. i have a brother who got SH2 when it first came out. when i told him about SH4 he said he didnt even bother getin SH3 cos SH2 had so many problems outa the box. when i mentioned stuff like patches n bugs he had no idea what they were. i wonder how many more customers have been lost cos they're not (hardcore?) like us and check websites n forums for patches to fix games
