Was the game released in March in a less than ideal state because they had to get it out within the fiscal year?

The game would have likely been better if released at a later date, so wondering if they released it then for that reason?

While I don't explicitly know the answer to this because I haven't followed the game too closely, consider the publisher. Regardless of what BioWare wants, I don't doubt EA's breathing down their necks constantly.

occasional routine patching.

I'm okay with that. Especially in game genres that lend themselves to it. After all, people seldom play 2D platformers and arcade style games any more. Complexity does lead to weird stuff.

But day 1 patching? Eh, I dunno. It should be for things that are discovered after release, not things that the developer realized because they were still doing their bug testing after production began. And, as I suggested earlier, for console versions it should be primarily for unlikely-but-disastrous scenarios (like corrupting a save file) or for multiplayer exploits.

Not just day one patches, but additional future patches in this case.

This seems kinda crazy. People playing the game for hours on end are likely to find bugs that the testers may not have, just by the virtue of that's something people like to do. They try to break games. So saying there shouldn't ever be any patches and a game should come out perfect is insane.

Testers also try to break games. That's part of the point of a tester.

He's not wrong that players will find things testers did not. Especially games with many weird circumstances and outcomes, like Bethesda's usual problems. However, that's no excuse for the sort of silliness we saw with Andromeda. The testers should certainly find the most egregious, common issues and the dev steam should stamp them out, instead of having all kinds of highlight reels of stupid graphical glitches and clipping errors and whatever else that game had going for it.

Do you play games on Steam? It's been the #1 best seller since it launched in February/March, and has been the most-played non-Valve game for nearly as long. It's a phenomenon.

I do, but I don't follow trends or general gaming news. I didn't know about Stardew Valley's existence until it had been named last year's best seller (or near the top) during the winter sales last year.

Games during the pre-digital era didn't come out perfect, but they were careful enough with testing so they could be released without updates. That's all I'm asking for. If you find something game-breaking later...well, it should be an edge case or a ridiculous exploit or a PC issue involving strange hardware configurations.

I liked TFTB, but at the same time, I also didn't like it. I'd rather play a game where the choices actually matter, instead of pretending to and putting "Dude will remember this" constantly as a red herring.

Not just day one patches, but additional future patches in this case. A console version should be ready at release, with little to adjust unless there's new content being added or a multiplayer exploit that needs to be patched.

That said, I'm curious to try this game if a really cheap copy stumbles my way. That isn't likely, though, considering I don't own a current gen console and there are probably, like, zero physical copies for PC anywhere.

Nationally, 47% of people are in the no category, as of the 2012 election.

I keep seeing this number but I don't know who it includes. Because if that includes people like kids, seniors, people unable to work (such as the disabled), then the outrage I've seen about that number doesn't seem appropriate at all.

Yes, I pay federal income tax.

Kinda wonder that myself, though this is the first I've heard this 47% figure.

For what it's worth, "Persons under 18 years, percent, July 1, 2016, (V2016) 22.8%"

90% of tattoos are a detriment to the person's looks and at least half of those are poor enough that you couldn't convince me it's worth their "individualism" or whatever.

On the rare case that one solidly looks impressive and doesn't make me go "man, they'd look so much better without that," I can appreciate them for what they are. But they have to be done well, they have to be well-chosen, and they have to be on the right person.

I don't know what kind of ranking system Starcraft had, but in Hearthstone you advance based on the differential in wins. If you have a 51% winrate with "zerg rush", but a 55% winrate by playing a longer game, it's still to your advantage to play the zerg rush.

When Jay Mohr married Nikki Cox, he wanted to hyphenate his name as Mohr-Cox.

I worked with a woman who's last name was Hunt. I found out that her husband's name was, in fact, Michael. Never heard her refer to him as Mike, always Michael.

I considered that. And no, I didn't. There's only one at the gym and it's a pain to locate. But this was my back and not my neck, so I'm pretty sure it was a byproduct of the day before.

Went to wikipedia to look up The Smith's discography because I had no clue who they were. Never heard of any of those songs. Apparently neither has anyone else outside of the UK (or Ireland), considering they didn't chart anywhere.

The thing about putting "80s band" in quotes is that it doesn't just mean a band that was active in the 80s. There are tons of great bands like Metallica who did their best work in the 80s. I mean, I'm from Philadelphia, so I'm legally obligated to name Bon Jovi here.

But for an "80s band," I think of either hair metal of stuff with cheesy synthesizers.

Why would they remove Skeram Cultist? It's a nice big 6-drop. Who cares if it's a C'Thun buffer? Personally, I think some of those cards that are nixed in arena should be fine to get, like Windspeaker. I know that's an old change, but I still thought it was odd to exclude that.

They made some new elementals, but they still didn't tag some of the minions that really ought to have it, like Shifting Shade.
