Interesting Video on "Bugs"

I don't care why MEA is bug infested. I don't care if it is Biowares fault, EA's fault or some third parties fault. All I care about, as a gamer is that it is in fact bug infested.

Funny how certain game companies rarely have these kinds of issues, like Rockstar and some, like EA, seem to have them all the time. For some companies it seems that the quality of their product is as important as profit, while at other companies, quality matters little as long as profits are good.

Please feel free to have an opinion on what companies fall into what category but do not give any of them a pass just because it is hard to do right.

I like that series also.

In my view there are bugs and there are bugs.

The animation wasn't a huge issue in my view.
Not being able to complete quests is.

When a game literally ships unfinished I'll gladly take several pages of patch notes featuring changes to cutscenes, writing etc. to make my 60$ more well spent over time.

It's not ideal but that's what happens if you ship with fundamental bugs being "known shippables"

Not to be that guy, but what they've just done with the new IP is the same thing they did with Andromeda when it originally said "Coming 2016" or something.



This game had many delays. DA:I had a full year pushback too and it honestly needed more. New IP being pushed back so they can work on the online things just fills me with anxiety that the game is going to be another glorious mess. Both DA:I and MEA had implementation being worked on all the way up to release, not just polish of what they had already made. I don't see that changing at all. If they have no vertical slice demo available this E3 it means they'll be scramblign to get New IP out the door by 2018 just like they did with Andromeda. Then, the only differnece that matters is whether they actually make it or break it like they did with MEA.
