sooo, don't buy games at launch?
Also, plenty of AAA games never see their bugs get patched. I got stuck in a room in Dead Space for about 20 minutes trying to figure out the puzzle when it was just the boss that failed to load. This was a documented bug that was reported five years earlier.
Also, this isn't what a pitchfork parade looks like. It's not nearly that important.
I didn’t say that either. But games have bugs at launch. They get fixed. But judging a game on its day 1 is fucking stupid.
No, it's fair to judge a game when it becomes available for purchase.
K. Be mad then.
Not what being mad looks like. This is what MST3K popcorn throwing looks like.
There are plenty of indie games that do launch in stable, playable states. I recommend Hedon, Dusk, or HROT.
2008 called, it wants its retorts back
