Okay, where to begin....
You are complaining about bugs in Divinity, claiming the broken skills make the game unplayable, though the 2 broken ranged skills have no significant impact on that character type.
You're totally missing the point. If you'd stop being a blind fanboi for a second you'd realize that it doesn't matter if the six broken/bugged skills make the game unplayible or not. Now read this next statement very carefully; I bought the game off of the promise that there is
"480 skill levels: 96 skills with 5 levels each 6 classes of characters" and with the game is in it's current state there's only 450 skill levels and 90 skills that work in the game; that's 60 skill levels and 6 skills less then promised.
Next you say you've learnt you lesson and will never buy from 'amateur' developers.
Now, if you were not implying any kind of relationship between 'amateur' developers and bugs, then why would the latter teach you a lesson about avoiding the former?
It's been my experence when buying games from developers/publishers that are new to that gaming industry that their frist product will be bug-ridden, Divine Dininty is a perfect example, and that they'll fix a few of the bugs then move onto the next game while leaving first game bug-ridden.
And i hate people that think they can sue everyone. (Are you American????)
Yes. The state I live in has two laws in the book to protect customers that are stuck with buggy products so they can get a refund IF the developer/publisher won't allow a refund.
now wait a minute.
you would sue 50 dollers. 5, 0. 50. go all the way to Europe, thats more then 50.
and you'd sue. for 2 skills. 2 skills??? AND YOU WOULD SUE!?
2 friggen skills??? BWAH.
and, checks, it doesn't say WORKING.
doesn't promise they will work. just that they're in there.
As I have said; it doesn't not matter if it's one skill, or in this games case, six skills. And, no I won't have to goto Europe if I have to sue CDV for a refund since CDV is the USA puiblishers.
yap, i can understand yaaj. its kind of frustrating buying a game, starting to play and lateron getting to realize that the version aint functioning the correct way. also your old savegames will be lost if you use the patches. very nice indeed
still i think the problem is not the developers but the marketing division. those people dont know what theyre doing. e.g. they want to sell their product before x-mas for all the nice presents meaning a lot of nice money....it doesnt matter at all if the developers tell them not to be ready yet. this is a f***** up marketing world.
still they are loosing the game, for only passionate players will buy such products. people who just want to play once or twice will stop buying any new games on the market for all the trouble this causes. at last we all end up waiting for games that are 2 years old and price reduced. which aint fair - the developers spend a lot of work in products like dd.
Thank you for understanding where I'm coming form. I don't put much of the blame on Larian Studios'. Odds are CDV wouldn't pay them the extra cash to work out the remaining bugs in their game. If CDV won't honor my state laws and provide me with a refund then yes I will file a suit against them.
hmmm isn't the sueing proces more expensive then the 50 bux you spent on the game? it's pretty weird to be sueing for a couple of broken skills..but oh well...
If I have to sue CDV for a refund they'll also have to pay the court fees, not me. The only cost to me will be the 4 hours I'll have to invest to get my refund.
Yaaj you are brilliant. Not only that, you are completely right. The box did indeed say 96 skills, and 2, that's right 2 skills aren't working. Not 1, but 2. This is definitely something you should be pounding money out of.
But why stop there? My new hairdryer didn't come with a "don't use to bash in your own skull" warning. And the applepie I bought earlier on didn't come with a "may contain apples" warning, even though I'm allergic to apples! Are these people trying to get me killed?
Well it's time to sue the nation, sue the world and sue the corporation, those idiots don't know what they're sayin'.
All hail America, land of the free! Free to chose between Wendy's and McDonalds! Free to say anything you want, unless you say bad things about America, in which case we'll call you un-patriotic, and hunt you down like the dog you are. Free to listen and watch TV programmes especially designed to brainwash and manipulate you so that you believe America is the best place in the world, and that you become braindead consumers for the benefit of the economy (i.e. the wallets of those corporate pigs)!
And if any of you non-American countries don't like it, we'll bomb you, and call you ragheads, gooks, communists or nazis.
Three freaking cheers for America!
*AHEM*
So anyway, go ahead. Get your $50 back. You crybaby.
You know I wasn't even going to bother to reply to this post since it has NOTHING to do with my oringal post. But, after reading it a few times I've gotten the impression that the poster is just jealous that I have more options to get a refund on buggy software then he does.
Any ways. Has PC gaming really gotten so bad that us, the customers, will just accept any buggy half-finished beta as a final product? I know I haven't.
