Don't you hate it when that long awaited patch doesn't do what it is supposed to do? When it breaks stuff, instead of fixing it? Read Ekim's There's a patch in my game for a thoughtful analysis of why developers should be more careful with the release of patches...This week I decided to rant… just a bit. While I’m waiting for such games as Arx Fatalis, DAoC: Shrouded Isles and Morrowind: Tribunal to hit the shelves, I’m still enjoying the games that are already out. But in today’s PC Gaming market, games are never really finished, or so it often seems. Patches take on the form of elaborate add-ons that add many features, free of charge. These add-ons come, of course, complete with a nice patch to fix bugs. |
