CanaDa Fwend said:You people suck. A beta is not supposed to be a nearly finished product. That's just what we have come to expect in recent years because companies have been using it as a tool to sell extra pre orders just before release. The intent of a beta is supposed to give developers direction on improvements that need to be made well before release. There is no reason to believe that this is not happening now. Obviously that was a mistake because the gaming community is to incompetent and expects a finished product ON A SECONDARY MODE 5 months prior to release.Erm... may I remind you that the game ships May 17th in North America? Moreover, they can't even touch the game anymore a few weeks before that for the rest of the process to go down well (printing, shipping and whatnot). So that leaves them 3 months at best to fix whichever flaw they thought a Beta would bring forth. Clearly, a beta, in this instance at the very least, is supposed to be near-finished product.
No developer will ever have just an alpha version this late in the development cycle. It's just not feasible. Your qualm about us "sucking" makes absolutely no sense in this context.
