Since apparently answering a question asking why there weren't more patches by saying there is, in fact, another patch in progress isn't good enough, I'll explain it in more detail, though you'll undoubtedly say it is irrelevant, even though you brought it up in the first place.
If an Enhanced Edition is a couple minor additions (ie adding DLC to the base game by default) with predominantly the same code base, then there are limited opportunities to introduce new issues, and any outstanding known issues can be fixed.
For D:OS, the EE involved switching from DirectX 9c to 11, switching compiler versions, engine improvements and optimizations, the addition of full voice acting, controller support with a separate UI, dynamic local split screen, significant new skills and balancing changes, harder difficulty modes with adjustments to all combat encounters and some environmental and puzzle changes, there were changes and additions to quests and dialogue throughout the game, especially with a rewritten ending an a small epilogue region added, etc.
The patch process matches that of a new game because it is essentially a new game.
So essentially this "Enhanced Edition" added a ton of crap and bugs and was obviously rushed to release without proper QC and playtesting. Here we are four months later having seen ONE patch that fixed pretty much none of the serious issues with this release and we are supposed to be content with "we are working on a patch"?
Here's an idea, don't release a $60 game if you have no idea if it even works. You can make excuses about all the cool "new features" causing the crashes and corrupt save files all you want but bottom line this game is a piece of shit that should never have been released. Four months and one failed patch attempt later and this game is still shit.
But the four months is not really important at all--what's important is that you now know that another patch is being worked on even as we speak--and that's the critical issue. We all want what we want yesterday, but rarely do we ever get it, etc.
Are you serious? So you're telling me that even though I paid $60 four months ago when the game was released I shouldn't be super pissed that the game can not be played at all by me on PS4? You think what is important is that I know another patch is being worked on... MONTHS LATER? Is it now acceptable for developers to release games MONTHS before they are ready and make their paying customers wait an indefinite and ridiculously long time before they can even play the game they now own?
