      - SchafTly -- nm - Stephen Sep 7, 08:26 3

- *nodding* -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 08:08
I would be pretty irritated if I bought a game on opening day, and had to take a half hour to download a patch - groiny Sep 7, 08:07 29
- Ahh, First World Problems. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 08:35 1
  - I know! I only had to wait 45 minutes to get my daily ration of sucking the rock. That's way less frustrating than waiting for a patch to download. -- nm - Child of Famine si Sep 7, 08:39
- dude...that's like a quarter of the time you're in the bathroom. -- nm - Remlik Sep 7, 08:30 3
  - most of that is just prep time. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:32 1
    - "you can do it!" -- nm - Remlik Sep 7, 08:35
  - I thought "download a patch" was a euphemism for what he does in there. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 08:31
- beats the double fine downloadable game i bought where i encountered a game breaking bug four hours in.... - x Sep 7, 08:15
- yeah, that really sucks for you. -- nm - Starving African Orphan Sep 7, 08:14 2
  - you have a fly on your eye. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:15 1
    - looks like I get to eat tonight, then! -- nm - Starving African Orphan Sep 7, 08:15
- I actually like doing that because I know it's all spiffy and up to date. -- nm - Max Sep 7, 08:12 3
  - on day one????? - groiny Sep 7, 08:13 2
    - Forza made their Porsche announcement six weeks out from release, which tells me that's the time they were going to press. If it were Duke Nukem... - Max Sep 7, 08:17
    - Gears of War 3 supposedly went gold on August 20th. Release date is September 20th -- (link) - oblique Sep 7, 08:17
- I'd only be mildly annoyed honestly. I'd rather wait 30 minutes than have a game that doesn't work. -- nm - Shaun Sep 7, 08:09 14

    - I wouldn't expect it for a digital release but for pressed DVDs, it's bound to happen. There's quite a lag between gold mastering and release -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 08:11 7
      - exactly. I've had quite a few games where the first thing it did was go and get an update. Mildly annoying, but if it makes things work so be it. -- nm - decline Sep 7, 08:14 6
        
        i think its more a symptom of lack of quality review and rushed game development. - tRuMaN Sep 7, 08:18 5
        
        I love this thread. -- nm - muzungu psilotum Sep 7, 08:38
        
        I've come to expect this over the last few years. Rarely is a game complete and without major bugs when it's released. - Krusty Sep 7, 08:34
        
        gamers are so bitchy and whiny that it must be a tough call.... - x Sep 7, 08:20 1

        this, is exactly my point. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:19
