I've been playing games since I was 4, I'm 28 right now, that's a long ass time to be enjoying games but something about the medium just grabbed me. But I'm not here to talk about that, I'm here to talk about buggy ass pieces of shit that get released and slapped 60 dollar price tag, buggy ass pieces of shit where the developer remains tight lipped and issues not statement regarding them, buggy ass pieces of shit that can get you banned because of one particular bug.

I'll start with my header picture, Operation Raccoon City, not a bad game, astoundingly mediocre I'd say, at least the co-op campaign, as soon as you step into the multi it becomes a river of shit, you aren't just in shit creek, you're in the shit ocean with no way to get out.

First off let's about the guns, as with any shooter there's always the de-facto best ones, the problem isn't with that, its the shotguns, shotguns are powerful but they have the added effect of knocking someone down with the force of the blast here, you can be set-up for any number of things if someone shotguns in this game, I honestly don't the understand of the knockdown effect, its just aggravating and in the modes where you have more health its just used to stunlock you for 10 seconds, fun for everyone except the guy getting shot.

Let's move on to skills, one character class has a move that makes him immune to ALL damage, think about that for a second, a skill you activate with a press of a button makes you superman, oh wait, it also makes you super accurate as well, there's no downside and relatively fast cooldown time, now you fellas tell me, is there something wrong there? A skill that makes you accurate and immune to everything? Was this shit even playtested?

Spawn camping is extremely simple, there's no system in place to spawn you elsewhere on some game modes, just near or at your face, there is no spawn protection so you spawn and get a face full of bullets to your face

But this is just weapon balance, let's move on to the technical side, these are all bugs I've experienced in my games.

My character model holding the backwards, shooting it would hurt me.
Shooting bullets out of my grenade launcher
Worst netcode in history, I have other multi games and this is the only one where I lag about 2 or 3 seconds in some matches
A command during an objective match, this is what is said "gvirus.pickup.action.disabled"
Yes we couldn't pick up our objective DURING THE OBJECTIVE MATCH.
Hardlocking my console, 3 times.
Unable to continue during the campaign due to a scene not triggering

And the bug that can get you banned, I was immune to all forms of damage for an entire match, I was accused of hacking by numerous people and someone said he got on a capture card, if I seriously get banned from XBL due to a bug I will be more than pissed. This kind of garbage in a game is inexcusable, there was no playtesting here, there was no quality control, just rush this barely working game out the door and hope the fans don't bitch, shit there's a bug thread on the Capcom forums that is enormous, so far all we know is that Slant Six can't do shit, its all in Capcom's hands so we might as well just write the game off now.

I don't know about the rest of you but I am sick and tired of this shit, I'm not paying 60 dollars to beta test something, I pay 60 dollars for a working fucking product, I can excuse map glitches and other minimal glitches, but not the sheer volume of crap this game has, this is shit that should pop up during playtesting.

And like I said already, Capcom is silent on the issues, I guarantee you we'll get DLC for this piece of crap before any fixes come down the pipeline.

Guh, image is to big, oh well screw it, the message is there.
I feel like I need to play this. Whenever a game is a stinker of such proportions, I need to play that.

Pro Tip: Don't buy video games new, buy them from two years ago at severely reduced prices and in complete form.
so many games nowadays seem to release with the idea that we (the consumer) are willing to pay $60.00 to beta test their game, then wait on patches... and finally (often 6 months down the road) have a playable game worth the $60.00 we spent on it.

It's a twisted and stupid system. Skyrim... they KNEW about the PS3 memory issues but apparently it was the release now, we'll fix it later mentality. Battlefield 3 was even worst with a travesty of a beta (that wasn't an actual beta) only to release a game that barely could be graded as a beta version. SOCOM, MAG... so many games that seem to figure that it's perfectly ok to release a buggy piece of crap and fix it later.

In rare circumstances this is acceptable (bugs they couldn't have possibly known about, etc)... but in general this is becoming "business as usual" in the industry and I hate it.

In fact, much as I wanted to like Battlefield 3, I'll be damned if I'll beta test their crap for them when even the voice chat didn't work half the time. I skipped the game. Maybe next time they'll have a REAL beta test and release something closer to finished.
Vote with your dollar.
"I've been playing games since I was 4, I'm 28 right now."

I'm about the same! Also, this game is fairly garbage in terms of a product, but for some reason I'm having fun with it. Call it a guilty pleasure -- maybe I just really like the character designs.

But yes, as far as having us beta test the product, as I said in my news story, that's pretty inexcusable. I'm really surprised Capcom went to Slant Six in the first place, unless they knew it would just be a rush-job cash-in. If you bought it from Amazon they should take it back.
This doesn't happen with games on Nintendo consoles.

Just sayin.
Nice write up. I can really see where you're coming from, and I've ran into some of these issues myself. The game locked up on me after playing for only 15 minutes, and I ran into a whole team of people with shotguns in my first match of hero mode. All that aside I'm still having a good time with the game, and I'm looking forward to the military side DLC as long as it's free.

@ Jonathan Holmes: I think every system has their share of games with bad net coding, including Nintendo :P
Im totally behind you on this. When I pay 60 cunting bucks on a brand new product I expect perfection. Sure a few coding errors are bound to get over looked but it should never be something that is detrimental to the game mechanics at play.

2011 really hammered home the message that most publishers are perfectly complacent in skipping Q&A all together and just dumping the burden on the early adopters. Fucking disgusting, I feel a migraine coming on now just thinking about it.

In any other industry this kind of negligence would result in a mass recall and rightfully so. Unfortunately the vidya game industry seems to be the most ass backwards, consumer hating, circle jerk outside of the Tijuana donkey porn industry.

I wont stand for it. Zenimax and Bethesda robed me of my honest 60 bucks and got off scott free by hiding behind vague PR statements and the piss poor patch community that XBL and PSN have brought upon us. Im never buying a new game for full MRSP. I trust Rockstar with Max Payne 3 but even then im not gonna take the chance. This industry and its publishers have proven to me how worthless they really are.

What makes it even worse is these bastards actually have the gull to turn around and blame the paying customers for the used games market and piracy. I could go on for hours about how both piracy and used games have a direct correlation with increasingly lazy, DLC fragmented, overpriced products but I really need to shut up and take a breather.
@holmes
Skyward Sword glitch; Other M glitch; plus most Wii games I yet to play online have net code issues.
I play online*.
Also, the VVVVVV flip mode glitch that took three months to patch. It happens! :)
@Chris - All of these glitches in ORC could have been fixed had the developer bothered to test the game before releasing it and they've been rather upfront that they didn't bother. Metroid and SS's glitches were things that were missed in testing likely because no one anticipated the combination of things a player would have to do to trigger them.

SS glitch got fixed fast, too.
@Silent
Right, but it still *happens* on Nintendo consoles/portables :D. It's software -- it's designed by humans, so it's by definition imperfect.

But yea, Slant Six is no Project Sora of course. :D
Didn't Nintendo just have a huge debacle with Kid Icarus, needing to put out a dumb stand because people can't play the game properly with the button configurations? Where was the playtesting there?
