Working means working, and fdone means done. I may not know how things are like on the development side of things but as a consumer I have very specific definitions on what I consider finished and done.

Your definitions are redefining the industry as we speak.

God, I hope not. Things are bad enough as it is.

Site doesn't load for me 

 

And we seem to have a different definition of "working". Usually (to me) that means that it is actually finished and ready; not just barely works...

Your definition of "working" is bunk.

How is it bunk? If I was playing a game which loads okay but is buggy to all to hell and does CTDs more than on occasion I would consider it not "working." Of course I only consider the released product. NWN 2 is still cooking in the oven so to speak.

Hades wins the world once again with his immaculate logic.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not.

The final product's what matters. Kudos to the devs that keep us updated.

Yes, it is "working" because it's still functional.

No, it crashes. When something crashes its not functional, unless its function is to crash.

Only if it crashes on start, and every time, is it not working Hades. I never bought a game like that.

Who said it crashes?

 

 

By Hades' definition though, virtually no piece of software is working.

Edited August 29, 200619 yr by alanschu

Yeah, some of the greatest games of all time crash occasionally. I guess they don't work.

What kind of baiting is that, jerks?

It's not baiting. It's taking Hades' application to working and seeing how it applies to reality.

Hades isn't going to be happy you just said that.

O RLY

So are we going to call Hassat Hades Jr. after this?

In before Profit.

Well EXCUSE ME If that when a dev says something is working I cannot see that means they just got it prepared for it's first test-run.

 

1 (and a half) MONTH BEFORE RELEASE. A month they were not even SUPPOSED to have.

 

Can one see why I am surprised and slighty shocked only now the animation is in it's EARLIEST states?

Edited August 29, 200619 yr by Hassat Hunter

Wait, wait. Didn't Sawyer say their latest build has fixed the animations?

I'm sorry if you're so unaware of the development process that you think a feature is bug-free the day it's implemented, but that's not how it works.  Avellone took a stable build with him to Leipzig.  Frank implemented combat fidgets in a build made after that one.  The fidgets play erratically and sometimes not at all.  That's why we're still working on the game: because it's buggy.

They are in; but working less than perfect. That is ofcourse; unless your statement you refer to is one (that was later) made on the NWN2 boards; But I don't visit those...

As a point of interest, how long before a game's official release date does it usually 'go gold'?

An other RPG I follow had that about 20-25 days before release...

I anticipate ~Sept 30 Gold, though that's just a feeling.

 

Well I have no problem with the feature being in, but having bugs, a month to go till gold. I would have a problem if they deemed it low priority enough to ignore, but I assume that they consider this a big issue.

 

Hope.
