thothkins Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 My understanding , he typed putting words into WarPig's mouth, is that considering the gulf of time fans have had to wait for something that captured the feel of EU1994, that a higher degree of latitude regarding bugs would be acceptable. Just having a game that#s nearly there would be great, as long as everything's ironed out in the end. I'd not get hung up on the figures.

alcari Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I've never seen a big, sandboxy game be completely bugless on release. But remember this isn't release yet. It's not even Beta yet, this is still an alpha release. And you can expect big bugs in an alpha. These aren't too terrible either, I recall EVE online once issued a patch that, instead of deleting C:/.../Eve Online/boot.ini made the game delete C:/boot.ini. Now THAT is a major problem, the game freezing up during an alpha test is... meh, annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DID have a problem back when xcom was still quite new, I bought this game called quarantine. I Installed it and played it for a bit, then turened of the puter for dinner. When I turned it back on as It tried to perform it's start up memory check it said "cache memory too bad" and wouldn't boot anything. Not even drivers for A:\ at one point. At first it did cos I did A test and played "magic boy" off a floppy disk for 5 mins. After I managed to get hold of the windows boot disks it wouldn't recognise the A:\ so I couldn't re install windows. (I was only like 8,9 or 10 at the time) Anyway we had to get this Dave bloke to take it away and sort it. When it came back he had managed to recover windows and all the files stored on there. Windows 3.11 and my good old REAL ms-dos command prompt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarPigs Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What arbitrary procentuals. o.0I can't really tell how something can be 90% polished tbh, wouldn't the current level of polish always be 100%? 90% would mean you reverted some of the polish to an earlier less polished stage? 90% game and 10% bugs sounds like a lot of bugs to me... or is it 10% of the initial bugs that arose when developing? (still a lot though) This probably comes off as nitpicky... But I really can't tell what you mean because it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me Sorry. Sweden?

thothkins Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) not a prblem. Now if you'll just help with with the Gorlom's idea of polish reduction. 90% would mean you reverted some of the polish to an earlier less polished stage? kidding Gorlom I just keep picturing the Time Machine going back to an age where there was less polish in the world.

Gorlom Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Sweden? Again I have absolutely no idea what you want to say. Well thothkins cleared up the last post. but what does my native country have to do with anything? (are you prejudice against Swedish people?)

thothkins Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I just took it as WarPigs asking which country you were from. There's a question mark on it, after all. WarPigs worked it out either from ,a previously unknown to me, obsession that Swedish people have on game polish, or from you mentioning it before. it was a rather aggressive looking question mark though, so perhaps it only looked like a question, and really was a very concise attack on your nation and all it holds dear! But probably not. If I'm right on this one, I'm off to the UN for a translation job. Day 1: The Caesians want to be our friends. They come in peace.

thothkins Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I thought that was a red herring? Too obvious I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 maybe he thought it was a made up country? or that I thought it was made up? I guess we have to wait for a commment from him declaring that you had it right this time too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPigs Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) hahahaha, I was just kidding with that "Sweden?" reply. English is not my native language either. I do recall this Muppet character from the Muppet Show, the Swedish chef.... hilarious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Chef Edited February 5, 2013 by WarPigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
