poolofpoo Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 and thanks for keeping us posted during the develeopment of said patch, I really appreciate it! When it comes to interacting with the fans your company is clearly no 1. The "patch coming soon" message on your frontpage now serves as a reminder of the monumental effort it took to keep us, the small people, happy and up to date. The message still has that soothing effect it had two months ago and i couldnt be happier thank you Lois: Honey, what do you say we uh...christen these new sheets, huh? Peter: Why Lois Griffin, you naughty girl. Lois: Hehehe...that's me. Peter: You dirty hustler. Lois: Hehehehe... Peter: You filthy, stinky prostitute. Lois: Aha, ok I get it... Peter: You foul, venereal disease carrying, street walking whore. Lois: Alright, that's enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabise Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Someone actually got a reply from the composer that the patch would actually upgrade the quality of all the music.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I find it funny how the folks who are doing the 'unofficial content mod' will probably have their stuff out first and it will be what we wanted.

Guest Dowie100 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 yeah its quite sad actually In the "old" days we never had to finish games, did you see people adding the endings to Starcraft, Tiberian Sun? or even Kotor1 And the Content Mod is going to be 100x better than this patch will probably will either never come out, or not fix anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovecraft Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 The funny thing is that in my experience with pc games I have seen that quite often games will recieve more support from the fanbase than from the actual developers or publishers in the form of user made addons and user made patches.

Volunteers do it in their spare time. They are also rarely hassled about timeframes and no one gets overly upset if the project falls through, which happens a lot. I have to agree with Volourn.

User modules can be done in their spare time and they can use the "it's done when it's done" excuse and no one will badger them or make multiple threads about how the mod maker lied to the public about releasing the mod soon.

lovecraft Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 It sounds to me like game developers need to find new full time professions and try game development in their spare time.We would probably see some truly amazing games then! (w00t) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Morgan Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 It's not like we don't want to release the patch. We, of course, want to help the people having problems with the game as much as possible and as soon as possible. There have just been a series of problems with the release. We are doing everything we can to have it ready and keep it ready for release on our end. SiO2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You folks would find that 90% of all the negativity expressed on this board and elsewhere concerning this game would vanish if only an occasional update on progress such as this one were made with some frequency. We understand that overcoming the problems caused by the time constraints imposed by LucasArts is a formidable task to say the least, we customers just want to be kept informed.

Honestly though i think even with regular updates if those updates were 'well we're still having problems, but we are definitely getting it released, still can't tell you when yet, sorry, but just be patient and all will be well in time' there will still be a large percentage of people who will not be happy. Some people thrive on not being happy, and like others to know they are not happy, and meet unhappy people like them. If there are not enough unhappy people around then they will spare all their efforts into making happy people unhappy too. I think the phrase is 'Misery loves company' plus.. I reckon you just made that 90% statistic up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff the modders are putting in now is great storyline stuff that should of been in the game from the get go. Without those scenes the ending is funky.
