Blech, the amount of stuff that was left out of KOTORII was disgusting. Bioware should've made it.

Also, consoles are far more limited than PC's so content is always different in some way to a PC version. I agree, Deus Ex will allways be remembered, as will Deus Ex , but for a different reason. I dont think Deus Ex 2 was all that bad, its just that people wanted a flashy new version of the original, and when the game came out without certain features that the original had, they hated it.... Then again, there were ALOT of problems with the game....... |

Sure they make good games, and have great support, but they have also ruined quite alot of games and companies that would have released good games. I just hope they dont screw up the new Command & Conquer ![]() |

What Hyvetyrant said about all consoles of the same brand being the same (containing the same tech) most likely plays a part to to make console games bug free.

It's the main reason why consoles are strong, they are standardised..
You don't have to future proof a console product, and you don't have to put in legacy support.. The things that make PC games harder to produce.. I'm not worried, this happens from time to time, just this time it's hitting all types of games, niche gamers have been though this before and good games have come after the barren winter.

How many good game companies are left now? Other than Bioware?

The majority of the bugs in PC video games are not because of the parts in your computer, they are because or crappy coding and no playtesting. They show their hypocrisy with console games. They test those, but somehow, because pc games can be patched, it's ok to release a broken half completed product. And what's worse is that companies are now starting to refuse to even release a patch to fix their piece of crap. |
