Judge Hades Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 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.
Llyranor Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Your definitions are redefining the industry as we speak. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Judge Hades Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 God, I hope not. Things are bad enough as it is.
Bokishi Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 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... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your definition of "working" is bunk. Current 3DMark
Judge Hades Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited August 29, 2006 by Judge Hades

Judge Hades Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not.
Atreides Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 The final product's what matters. Kudos to the devs that keep us updated. Spreading beauty with my katana.

Judge Hades Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) No, it crashes. When something crashes its not functional, unless its function is to crash. Edited August 29, 2006 by Judge Hades
Bokishi Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) Only if it crashes on start, and every time, is it not working Hades. I never bought a game like that. Edited August 29, 2006 by Bokishi Current 3DMark
alanschu Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) Who said it crashes? By Hades' definition though, virtually no piece of software is working. Edited August 29, 2006 by alanschu
Bokishi Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Yeah, some of the greatest games of all time crash occasionally. I guess they don't work. Current 3DMark
Llyranor Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 What kind of baiting is that, jerks? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
alanschu Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 It's not baiting. It's taking Hades' application to working and seeing how it applies to reality.
Llyranor Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Hades isn't going to be happy you just said that. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Hassat Hunter Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) 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?

Hassat Hunter Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

SteveThaiBinh Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 As a point of interest, how long before a game's official release date does it usually 'go gold'? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Hassat Hunter Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 An other RPG I follow had that about 20-25 days before release... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Tigranes Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 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.
