I keep hearing about " Other games are buggy when they come out "

The BATTLEFIELD series is infamous for its bugs but it's well-supported with patches. You are the only person I've ever encountered (both pro- and con- the game) who has never used the words "Battlefield" and "bug" in the same sentence. Frequently.

The relaunch of FALCON as ALLIED FORCE required tremendous patience as the devs labored over bug-squishing. We are now ten patches in and it's great.

GHOST RECON ADVANCED WARFARE was released to howls of protest over buggy AI and mission glitches. Five patches later, the game seems to work just fine.

Right now, I'm playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and enjoying the heck out of it depite bugs so serious that, until a patch arrived this week, I couldn't even quicksave. There is still work to be done.

Here's an obscure one (to US audiences, anyway): BRIAN LARA CRICKET 2007: Promising game with buggy catching dynamics requiring a patch.

Having said all that, I've shelved SHIV until the TDC is fixed. Which it will be, I reckon, partly thanks to Neal and the community here.
