The wait begins!

A snippet from your reply "The game just came out so what do you expect".
That is exactly the problem. Since the game has "come out" everyone should "expect" a complete, tested, working game.
When a paying customer has to wait weeks or months for hundreds of bug fixes, the game can become boring.

Think yourself lucky we even get updates. I started work in the games industry when the PS2 launched. If a game was released with bugs, (which happened a lot more than you may expect) you had to simply *censored* it up and deal with it.

At least now we have the possibility of getting updates and mods. Back then you were stuck with whatever games companies released. Stop whining and realise that making a game of this complexity is not the easiest thing to do. Maybe Giants released too early, but they also have pressure from publishers to get the game out.

gotta do both maps that came with the game.

No, I actually don't. Until a map comes out that I want to play, I am done playing this game.

I can deal with the bugs just like I did in previous versions, I'm perfectly happy with all of the in game equipment that we currently have, I can even deal with perpetual summer until seasons is released, but I will not play on the in game maps any longer.

I can't remember the last time a game came out that didn't need a patch or two.

wonder how many of you bored and full of bugs crowd even play the game. Try putting it on hard mode with all the difficulty settings on.

i started on hard in ravenport with a dairy setup. the 50 cow bar haying equipment. 400k loan field 1 cuz it was flatter than some. selling silage bales is my main income atm. just got enough dough to buy field 2 and a seeder. so not bored yet. i would like to see westbridge hills converted. i played the stuff outta that map on 15 and 17.

Yes I'm very bored, I only wish I held off buying it until next year sometime. Very poor game from Giants, they have been working on the same game for what 10 years? And still the AI is useless compared to courseplay.

I bought it when it was first released, played it for a few days realising it isn't finished so left it, haven't been on it since and don't intend to. I won't make the same mistake next time in buying it I can tell you that.

I'm not whining, I'm stating facts (as are you). I've been playing games since atari, so I know how it was and how it is. Games had to be complete back then and there were a lot less issues than there are now. The complexity you mention is on par with those old days because the dev tools have improved to match. I'm a mobile game developer in my spare time and I know when excuses are being made and how developers are taking advantage of that mentality to release early to get paid.

You could always give Fallout 76 a go if you are bored? (Too soon? lol)

Na, these people complaining have no idea how games work. I am surprised they even can play. Fallout 76 is the perfect game for them too.

I wonder if giants have the Same-Day Patch Certification for Developers---

We may now have a drastically reduced wait-time when it comes to receiving desperately needed patches for game-breaking bugs. Each time a developer submits a patch, they have to wait for Sony to certify it before distribution. This was often the holdup when it came to bug fixes after release. Now, however, Sony offers same-day patch certification, which should speed up releasing patches to the PlayStation wild.

Hope so lefe. I'll lose money if it goes live today with land prices but I dont care. Sounds like we'll have alittle more breathing room with funds.
