So you are of the opinion that it is fien to release a buggy unfinished product as long as it is patched in the future? Complacancy like that is the reason for the PC game market being in the state it is in.

He is telling people to basically prop up a game he has not yet played himself! That is the biggest example of blind cheerleading I had ever seen. What about people who actually depend on these reviews to make their purchasing decisions? I have been burned many times by reviews that painted game that certainly didn't desrve my money as the best thing under the sun.

Then you didn't research the game enough. There are usually many reviews from different sources on any game, and I will usually want to play some form of demo of the game before I buy.

As for SEV, yes its buggy, but it is one guy, not a cast of 100 people or more. Plus his track record on any of his past projects is more of a reason to support his continued efforts. If you like SEIV, you will more than likely have fun with SEV. It will easily be around for 6 or more years just like its predecessor.

How much do I have to research a game before I buy it? It used to be a quick glance at the box was enough. Now I have to read many reviews and play the demo ebcause all most games are now a days is pretty graphics and crappy or buggy game engine.

I like SE V but I could not honestly tell anyone to go out and buy it. I would instead tell them to wait a few months for the bugs to be sorted out. Why are you attacking me for having an honest opinion?

Man those people who give the game a negative review without ever having actually played the game or know of the franchise are really just clueless. This applies to all negative reviews based upon the demo and not the full version of the game posted by poeple who haven't ever played an SE game before and don't have a clue to Aarons history with supporting his games.

Attacking? Huh? He was merely disagreeing; I see nothing construable as an attack?
