@Leeric420 @BaDMantra Well, the reviewer was very gentle with how he grade the game, and that he says makes very little to justify the 6.5 and will lead you to believe that a higher score is in order but in reality it's not as good as much reviewers want to make you believe, I will stick with PCGamer and Angry Joe review.
But to each it's own opinion is the one that matters and if that makes you feel bad about yourself choosing the game and liking it that when someone says something you don't like you go saying it's a butthurt fan ... well, I might suggest a shrink, a cold water shower and some common sense pills!
@fredyellowone @BaDMantra Since they try and replaced it with the Guild Stores in Cyrrodil, It's not mandatory but it's something that helps boost the game economy and it's now mainstream and expected in this type of games.
He's leaving behind the lack of AH, game resets, rollbacks, non responsive controls, latency issues, graphics been reaaaaaally outdated, sub been in place with paywalls for Imperials and horse, painted gear, voice not working or matching in some quests, no exploration, tons of bots, and very poor customer service, and most of this issues had already been reported before game launched ... seriously, 5 out 10 IMO.
@ecs33 @BaDMantra Well, I'm glad you are enjoying the experience and that it managed to improved the previous situation, but as you said:
"Half of the changes came in a free patch about a month ago"
And I bet you it was more to have those curious about the game and DLC to give it a shot and try and raise some hype than to actually correct issues, as there's the marketing hook in the HALF of the changes and the MONTH AGO (sorry for caps, don't know how to bold in this).
To me that's the only reason for it and as I said, mine is mostly a stand against what gaming is turning to lately than saying that the game is rubbish or not, haven't play it, not intending to so I can't say on that regard, all I am doing is pointing out something that I consider wrong and try and share my opinion to those who care to read it and perhaps broaden their view in hopes of a gaming community more aware of what is happening around them and the consequences of allowing it to happen.
Other than that and as I previously state, I wish for those who picked the game a great experience and lots of fun at it!
All given reasons are valid reasons and why not, the game might actually be better in delivering the fun D3 didn't and that's exactly why this DLC Map Pack is wrong and overpriced.
Those are fixes that were necessary for the first game to matter and to give sense to the game, but disguising a game fix patch as a DLC with a single class and some new game modes, still no PVP but a far away promise (Don't care about it but it was promised to me as a feature that has not yet been delivered and they have fail terribly at it) and pretending offline mode can't be achieve (Sim City just did it after howling at how impossible it was) ... this makes me believe more and more in how poorly we are been seen as a community and how easily hype can make us trow money at games and companies that simply don't care about delivering fun and engaging games but money grinding machines that will give us some fun for a while, if any.
I decided to not buy this game for the above reasons and make a stand against the latest trend in game releases been half done, beta games and so on, early access and things of the sort are ok but this is getting out of control, games with littel QA,unfinished products in hopes of a community patience and fanboyism to sponsor the QA effort and bug fixing process while games are still important have lead us to games like Batman, selling DLC's and ditching game bugs, TESO releasing with missing items, ROME, BF4, D3 launch, Sim City and we can go on and on and on ... why! WHY!
Please take a stand as a community and don't buy this, show them that you are to be respected as a consumer and that no matter how many gorgeous little lassies like Jess (you are hot and I love the accent :p) they send our way we can still make a pause and think about what is happening and what are we really paying with our money!
For those playing the game, I wish you the best fun ever!
Great show as always, on a separate note please convince Johnny to stay on Feedbackula and also is there a specific reason to have the light in the background moving while you are talking?
