The german version of Space Wolves 2 for instance is seriously bugged. You can play the entire game but you'll never recieve any money for any story quests done and that is quite a lot so it affects gameplay by making it frustrating. Also saving the game breaks any quests which are in progress, wether it's a story or random quest and that's annoying as fuck. Developed by russians by the way.

There are tons of games which feel like public betas... you probably aren't playing the right games, not that it's any bad.

You said never, not even once.

I said "I've never seen". A statement that's still true, I didn't play Sin when it was initially released and I've kept far away from both Battlecruiser 3000 AD and Battlefield 2.

Not really a problem?! I refuse to buy any EA games because of Battlefield 2's bugs! That and EA are a bunch of cock suckers.

That you hate EA isn't really a problem for gaming generally.

I think you meant that I'm playing the right games, and you're not

EA itself is a problem for gaming generally, though.

Indeed, Electronic Arts is a place so vile, I would need to punish myself if I worked there. That said, somebody has to make the crap sports titles that make up apparently 52% of the American game market.

No you wouldn't, they'd do that for you.

Actually, they pay you an awful lot, it just feels like the inside of a borg cube...

Directly quoting a former employee of theirs, there.
