Raven/I.D. Software Boycott

After playing the Raven Software/ I.D. Wolfenstein game online i have encountered many problems such as, playing a match to earn gold and rank only to it stripped from me because the multiplayer stat tracking is currently glitched, getting into a match only to be looking at my feet not able to move or shoot, and when i do get into a match it is usually so choppy it is unplayable.(and news of the multiplayer Dev team being laid off the day the game launched leads me to believe we will never see a fix in the near future) After trying to contact Gamestop for a refund i was told that they cannot return my money only give me a new copy or i could trade it in for 20$. >.> I then attempted to contact Raven, ID, and Activision, having successfully contacted Raven because Activision Webpage is having problems that when i try to file a complaint the server says that it is unavailable to register. So in short I am boycotting later Raven and ID games such as Rage until further notice.

To those of you who were debating on getting wolfenstein, i highly recommend NOT getting it simply because in this day in age games should be tested to ensure quality. Honestly, this game could have came out on the original Xbox and it would probably be identical.

I encourage people who are having the same problems to post your opinions so we can get JUSTICE!!!!

Have fun with that when the rest of us are playing Rage :P

I have encountered no such problem, Everything has worked extremely well for myself. The guys I play with havent had any major issues either really from what I know.

I still think Wolfenstein is pretty sick.

Lol, Thanks for your support.

if u expected a lot out of wolfenstein, then that is ur main issue

iD makes amazing games, such as doom and quake

wolfenstein looked like a crappy re-hash of the old game on xbox, u really shouldnt have been giddy for excitement with this one

the new Riddick game had issues with mp when it came out, and i havnt touched it since, and guess what? Riddick is a re-hash of the old game with a new campaign and multiplayer thrown in...same thing practically

Yes. With these two, a boycott isn't going to work well. Just play the Wolfenstein singleplayer and sell the game. I'm sure you have other multiplayer games.

I'm currently loving Wolfenstein's Single Player Campaign & very much so looking forward to both Rage & Doom 4, so I will not be participating in no such boycott.

the new wolfenstein=not the father of FPS

i wasnt telling him hes an idiot, ur putting words in my mouth

its just that he shouldnt boycott one of the best gaming developers every cuz he got a crappy mp experience from one game that wasnt even developed exclusively by iD...he should get his facts right before posting his rant on how bad his experience was...and i thought that since gamespot is a company based in the United States of America, that i would be able to express my opinions, like it says in the Constitution...so dont give me that garbage of yours

Well maybe you should have done some research before buying the game. If these glitches are common, then the word would spread, and you could have avoided the game. Your fault.

Or, alternatively, if the glitches aren't common, then sitting here bashing the developer isn't justified, either.

Boycott them if you want, but somehow I think you're just mad at yourself for buying a bad game and you want to take it out on somebody else.

The day I boycott raven and id games, is the day I stop playing games!

Wolfy got a great single player.

Multiplayer isnt needed.

It's about time I hear someone besides me say that.

While i agree with people saying the single player mode is ok, i don't understand how i have my facts mixed as other members are saying. I was excited to play this title being a fan of the other wolfensteins so i bought the game on launch day after viewing many reviews that only cover the singleplayer for some reason, only to find many problems with the MP experience. If someone sold you, say a automobile, and two wheels didnt'work would you be mad you bought it for full price? Just because the "norm" for a new videogame is $60, doens't mean all games are worth it. I'm just stating my opinion and you guys are entitled to your own, but dont accuse me of being misinformed.

Three days and still no word from either. Rather sad i think.

So you admit you only read reviews about the single-player and that was enough for you. Thats your fault. Its your fault for not waiting to hear reviews about the multiplayer.

And as for your car-buying analogy - I wouldn't buy a car that I had never test drove and done a ton of research on. The two examples are not comparable, sorry.

I've been boyotting them ever since that mistake called Quake Wars. Their quaility has been going down hill over the years. DPhunkT

The stat tracking does break after a bit. All you have to do is go to the main menu and back to multiplayer after a few games. I think the lag has actually gotten better somehow. I haven't had the looking at your feet glitch in awhile. =-)

Ditto.

Boycotts are silly anyway.

Still no word from any parties involved. At least awknowlegde that something is wrong here and make an attempt to fix it instead of just shrugging off the problem.
