GP3: wait for the patch before buying

by * Leon » Wed, 21 Jun 2000 04:00:00

Hi

Seems like we best wait for the patch
to come out before buying the game..

there has been recent cases of game
developer that refuses to do a patch
after they found the game not up to par
in terms of sales
so they "blame the sale" for not
doing the patch.

I thought if they had done the patch
the game should have sold better

Thanks and regards

So if we all will wait for the patch, the patch will never be released
because nobody bought it...

Waiting for the patch?

How typical for these times that many want things they just don't NEED
anyway.

Leong, I have to remind you that GP2 never had any patch... you could
wait a long time before seeing one for GP3

Why does GP2 need a patch?  What is wrong with it?  Seems like
the lack of a patch didn't affect sales or the popularity of GP2
which is still enjoyed by many even 4 years after it's release.

Why don't you think before you type in future?

Just because a game is "good", doesn't mean a patch wouldn't make it
even better. GPL didn't need a patch.

You are not talking about a patch but about an upgrade. A patch is
meant to fix bugs.

Um, i'd like a patch to prevent the replays that *change* when you play them
back over and over. ?

How about a decent optimisation of Monaco that allowd you to play this circuit
at all?

Think before you type, idddijot!

I have never been aware of any problems with the replays except
ones which have been saved on a differant computer or/and on one
of the third party tracks.  Replays don't affect gameplay anyway
and I really find it hard to understand why people get so
e***d about them.

As for your complaint about Monaco, I don't quite understand
what you mean.  I have had many enjoyable races round the
streets on GP2 and I have never had any problems.  I can't
really help you until you provide more information on that one.
