that game had soo much potential but the bugs in it prevented anyone from enjoying it...soo many such that they released several games there after to fix the bugs of the prior, and yet, they were still plagued with bugs galore...i didnt even bother buying the last few versions... but the X serious has made some leaps and bounds past their flaws... yet still it is plagued w/ bugs...

The difference here of course is that BCM has inept programmers and one in particular that I won't name has a grasp that far outreaches his meagre talent.

And for WHY EGOSOFT, WHY RELEASE A GAME THAT`S NOT EVEN COMPLETED YET??? question?

Money money and money. Thats why.

Seriously????

I nor anyone else who does not work for Egosoft cannot possibly claim to know what is in their collective mind.

So from an objective point of view, which seems like the best business strategy...

Strategy 1: Release almost finished game while still quite buggy, and shake buyers confidence for all future products, possibly dooming our company.

Strategy 2: Finish game, then release it. Only good things will be said about it since nobody will have seen the bugs. And would increase customer confidence - while still acheiving pretty much the same sales, just a little later down the line.

You'd have to be mad to go for strategy 1, and do we really think the programmers (very logical ppl) at egosoft would really go for strategy 1? I don't.

There are always ppl who will pressurise ppl to sacrifice their art for profit, those ppl don't care, they don't care bout ur complaints now, and they will never care about anything other than whether their neighbour has a bigger mansion or not.
The only ppl all these complaints (which you are 100% entitled to make) will hurt are the developers of the game, who I believe are the ones at Egosoft that truly want you to have a fantastic game in your hands.

Just my thoughts.

No, it isn't.

Indeed. The first thing I will be doing pre-patch is make a note of cash, ranks etc so that if I do have to restart I know what I have to put back by cheating if it comes to that. Either that or return the game and stop playing but I would rather not do that.

Deadlines, money and publishers...

Well that´s a good ingredient for making games and games are to you?

Well let´s see? They r supposed 2 be fun and challenging... Perhaps even addictive.

And the whole idea and concept of X-universe is so FRIGGIN good and unique. Non-linear game, rpg and combat simulator in one game?

Jeez good, right?

Well lets see if this (the 3:rd in a short while, right?) patch cleares things up for us...

BTW EGOSOFT, why doesn´t Mercedes, Audi and BMW try out your selling strategy?? Sell a product before its aven finished..
Guess they have a lot to learn from you.

Besides, comparison is interesting.

P.S. Egosoft, you get a piece of this community´s love/hate opinions. Then you should understand that there is a point when ppl write that they rather wail a couple of extra months for a proper game/patch than have their demand satisfied immediately with a alpha patch. We aren´t telling u how to run your company, publishing, but I thought u said X2 was a test/preview of what is coming. And that u perhaps learnt something with x2. But pls tell me, what is the major problem, the community, you or the publisher? Please tell me it´s your publisher...

P.P.S. Nirwin, you´re so right. But with love comes hate, unfortunately. So when we love the game, we will hate the flaws even more..

I have too say I’m surprised 34 pages of complaints (apologies to those who weren’t) I hope most of you are new to the X-universe.

Here is a little bit of history

Egosoft made X2-The Threat and patched it to be the glorious game it is today then they started work on an expansion pack, X2-The Return.

Then someone made the graphics engine in X3 and said wow, good bye X2-The Return hallo X3-Reunion

If you take into consideration that the Egosoft team stopped making one game then went on to make a new one they have done a very good job.

STOP BITCHING!

Please do not tell other people what they can and cannot post. That is the job of the moderators.

Also, I have removed your avatar image as it was too big according to the forum rules.

I just hope the patch is released before Thursday. After Thursday I'll have no internet connection to download it with over break

Have you read all the 34 pages? Impressive young one...

BTW we are actually discussing and not bitching, like you want to think...

There for a FORUM!

why the rush

give them time to get it done do you what to werck your game some more to have more the wine about

BoB_JekO · Post by **BoB_JekO** » Mon, 19. Dec 05, 16:42

Eh?

Again?

Rush?

You must be kidding?

Have you been sleeping the last 2 months? heeh heeh

But then if they didnt hurry, how come the game was in the stores before it was finished? AND I DON´T MEAN THE BUGS AND THE LAAAAG...

P.S. We who write here, discuss and trade thoughts, we ALL love this game, otherwise we wouldn´t be here.. I still don´t understand those who oppose themselves against ppl on the forum. THIS IS WHAT YOU DO ON A FOURUM!!! And thats the beauty with democracy, feel free not to read and not the contrary...
