There are plenty of other software companies out there that release software that a percentage of the public has issues with. To this day I still have intermittent problems running BF2142 because the engine has some issues. I don't go to their forums and whine that they are bad devs who don't care about us PC gamers.
It's just a game, it's not like it is a malfunctioning life-support system that you are connected up to in order to live.
If you don't like UT3, then don't buy it and don't play it. No one is holding a gun to your head. Epic didn't write it just for you to make you happy. If you don't like them as a company, then go to some other board for one of the other devs that you are happy with. We've all heard all of this bashing for months on the boards, do you think all of the whining is accomplishing anything? Is it being constructive for the community? What is it contributing? Some people just need something to complain about these days.
UT3 runs great on all of the systems in my studio and we have some great LAN parties on it. I have no more complaints or problems with UT3 than I did with UT2004.
I haven't been much to these forums in a long time, it looks like there is no good reason to come back.
*falls of chair*
you do of coarse realize the publishers got together with retail and crushed the consumers right to return bad products in the late 90s/early 2K, because of this one has 2 options find a new hobby or suck it up, and a 3rd less pure choice join with underground and download the whole game try it then asset its worth, why do you think piracy is a vibe form of boycotting when they system refuses to treat the consumer as anything more than a thief.
And the whole new game thing is a myth even mostfo the main retail stores open the things up to show the case on the display shelf.... the retail side backed by publishers are pulling the wool over the eyes of the masses and I do not like it one fcking bit, I so love it when you "holier than thou" types start up about find a new hobby,its just a games what if it dose not work run out and buy a new 50$ title.
I am sorry but I refuse to put up with publishers and retail outlets treating the consumers like unwanted leaches/leeches, I will fight for my consumer rights till the day that great train of though squishes me dead, if things do not change in the industry they will be getting less of my money and I will do everything in power to enjoy my hobby at "maximum discount".........
QFTSounds Good to me, honestly. I don't think that's a downside.
After U2 and UT3 they have fallen into the hack a dev pit with ID and raven and many other once great dev houses, ut04 is a polished expansion of 03, UT3 is a lack luster rushed title.
really I can not see why they can not release a new build every 3 years expand on it 1-2 years after it thenstart on a new build, do it like 03 only alil less content, sell it for 30$, the "expansion" for another 30.
They are selling half a game for retail price thats wrong and stupid IMO, hell I'd use a steam like service minus the whole mal/spy ware aspect of it.
