Should I buy it or wait for the patch?


Recommended Posts

"No. Neither have you. So quit assuming OE can do whatever they want with the license. Perhaps they can put out patches at their own discretion, or perhaps they don't. I don't know. YOU don't know."

 

I never said they could do anything like that. What I said is that I doubt very much that LA would actually waste time suing them over a release of apatch.

 

As for you not having bugs with what I presume is your rented copy, good for you. :p

Yep. With all the amount of moaning about bugs and reading you had had 3 failed installations, when I suffered my first crash at install, I began to tremble... But it seems I'm in that small percent of people who isn't running into any bugs. I might still buy this game after all. :cool:

Uh. Does. not. compute. You said you experience no crashes yet your first install crashed... Hmm...

Er... I believe I already stated I had suffered a read error of sorts while installing for the first time. Apart from that, only 1 freeze so far, and I'm on Telos' surface.

 

I know it sounds odd, but the game so far is more stable than K1 ever was. Even patched. At least for me.

"THINK before you post. They are not going to risk a lawsuit just because a bunch of people whine and bitch for a patch on their forums. Nobody with half a brain would."

 

Yeah, whatever. LA is really gonna sue Obsidian for releasing a patch. You'd have to be gullible to believe that nonsense.

You are not reading either, are you Volo? I didn't say LA will sue OE. I said that just the threat of a possible lawsuit is enough for OE to wait for the official thumbsup for the patch, if there is any.

 

And in case you don't know, LA has been known for shutting down mod projects and whatnot for not complying with copyright laws and stuff. The same could happen with a patch.

 

Most developers have contracts that enable them to release patches, only very few do not. Troika did not, for Vampire, and that went to hell. Any decent developer will have gotten a good contract, simply becouse its their ass on the line. LA are *known* to produce ****loads of crappy games, so its up to Obsidian to make sure they will be able to give post-release support.

 

Its all up to Obsidian, if they signed a bad contract, its still their fault.

No. K2 is a licensed product. If it hadn't been OE who had done it with a crappy contract, it would have been someone else, with a crappy contract anyway. LA surely has loads of devs that would do anything to get a SW license.

 

But then again, it hasn't been a week since the game's release on the PC. We'll see about the patch.

Yes, K2 is licenced. And yes, they would probably have found another willing developer. Which still doesnt excuse OEs crappy contract. If you, as a developer, signs a bad contract, knowing its bad and will hurt your customers, then you DESERVE all the **** people will throw your way.

 

Im still shocked these are people that worked on Fallout, the best RPG so far...
