Returning the game.

[Monty Burns]

So the initial release was a big flop. And a month from now, a patch will fix majority of graphics problems and stability issues.

However, people who expect a "complete ending" are in for a very long wait. Full story line, romance, etc. will not be coming in first or second patch, it's simply not possible without adequate testing.

And now (I can't verify this, at work, but I'll definitely check it once I get home) I just read that sound encoding is terrible. I couldn't tell b/c I just got Audigy 2 yesterday, with 5.1 speaker set.

 

So.....sometime 6 months down the road game will maybe be playable again.

But this is now, and after finishing the game once, I don't feel like going through it again. It's all completely linear and busted. It's incredibly easy, even if my char was a sentinel/master with AC never getting above 35. And I am NOT looking forward to playing it again with mono sound on my brand spanking new sound setup. No thank you, sir. I have uninstalled it already and put Doom 3 on instead. I think I'll go for "scare myself and everyone around me to death" approach now.

 

All this said, how does one go about getting their $$ back?

No retailer nowdays takes back opened PC games. Half-Price books have cut down on # of PC games they buy (well, last time I sold them games was 2 years ago, and even new ones were $15 at most).

You wont be able to return a game you have finished...

 

Thats like me buying a book from th store... finishing it then getting my money back... use a little common sense

Sell it on eBay. Thats my advice to you, though I dont know why you dont want to sell it. It's got some replay value, such as different endings, such, different dialogue options; so on so forth.

Do you do this with every game you finish.

Since when you are able to return a game

The last time I was able to was 1996

You can either ebay it or take it to EB and get credit to buy another game
