Creative Assembly: Stick with the glitchy game!

edited November 2007 in Games and Technology
Well, Creative Assembly has taken the plunge and appearently have said no more patches to fix vast amount of glitches or bring MTW II to kingdom's standard will be done. Frankly This suprised me. I mean, MTW did get an upgrade when you applied Viking Invasion on it, but MTW II won't. Why do you make of this?

I find it disapointing. They release a game with glitches and then move on to the next one without fixing the major problems. Whats happening CA?

Edit:

Fixed the wrong name.

    Except, of course, that they are now published by Sega. Hence the travesty that was "Barbarian Invasion"

    Bring back Activision...

    What the hell is MTW?

    Not everybody out there plays every game on earth; it's beneficial for your reading audience if you spell out what game you're talking about the first time you mention it, and then abbreviate it each time thereafter.

    It's still dumb. Spell out the whole name of the game at least once before you switch to short forms.

    And haven't all of their games been buggy as shit? This isn't a ton of surprise.

    As listen on the offical forms (http://www.totalwarforums.com/) with the user Caliban who does work with CA and worked on MTW:Kingdoms, did say that no work was going to be completed or patched. Now, I loved MTW and the Viking Invasion and loved the update they did to the orginal MTW.

    But Kingdoms it doesn't fix anything except some glitch small time AI bug and doesn't include any of the new units avaliable in Kingdoms to MTW II. I find this totally wrong. I wonder how many bugs will ETW come with?

    Hey, their 1.2 patch refuses to work if you didn't install it in the default directory.


    Or drive. It actually breaks the game if you had the gall to install it on, say, D drive instead of C.

    God, get fucked. Googling acronyms because no one can be bothered to type out the game's title is retarded and expecting people to do so rather than just saying which fucking game you're talking about is asinine.

    We should talk about game gltiches in general in this thread. Like how there's one glitch in RE4 (only encountered this once) where you start walking in that cavern w/Ashley and you go threw the ceiling. Or in Ikaruga where the screen starts spazzing colors (red and black iirc) and then sends you back to the title screen.

    One time in RE4 Mercs the villagers all were running on an opened door (running but not moving forward) and would not stop till I shot one. I'm pretty pissed I didn't record this.

    Hey. Hey. Calm down.

    The Total War series has a huge following and consequently, the vast majority of people who post regularly in G&T know who the Creative Assembly are. And in a post about said developer, people who are interested in news about them will instantly know what MTW is. I've already said that a good first post with clearly-written information is always appreciated so that people won't be confused about what the OP is ranting/raving/moaning/bitching/jumping for joy about, and we can have a nice, civilised discussion (yeah, right).

    The people who this post is relevant to, the people who will be affected by this, know immediately what the OP is on about. If you're curious about such information... is opening a new tab and typing three letters into Google too much effort for you?

    I think the current rumors state that there will be a patch. They just can't make any absolute offical data on whats in it.

    The last 3 hits were cut from the window, but one was another duplicate of the Yahoo Finance link, a book called Making Tex Work, and another thing about Montreal.

    Try again?

    MTW is like ETW, RTW, unlike GCDA, and not quite like HMM, MO, or IS. What we need is another SM game like AC or SMP.
