MAG gets a launch-day patch

MAG gets a launch-day patch photo

PS3 exclusive MAG was released just today, and already a patch has been released. The game will automatically update when it's crammed into your PS3, and it will allegedly fix issues that were discovered earlier this month. Whatever those issues are, they'll be fixed. Isn't that nice? 

The only noticeable problem I discovered while playing MAG for our complaint-magnet review were a number of graphical glitches such as corpses that did Michael J Fox impersonations. None of them really affected my enjoyment of the game, but if they're being dealt with, that'll be fabulous. 

Day one patches are becoming quite common these days, although for some reason people are making a big deal out of this one. Either way, the game will be just that bit more bandaged when you play it today.

...such as corpses that did Michael J Fox impersonations.

^This is the hilarious as fuck. I don't know why, but that sentence made me shit a little in my drawers.

"How many fucking times must I tell you to lay off of Michael J. Fox, you fat fuck?"

Ooohhhh, I better stop doing things because some random little cunt on the Internet might get upset.

"You better stop, lest you want your face kicked, McFatty."

The only way I'll be getting my face kicked is if I try and tie one of Michael J Fox's shoelaces.

Give it a rest. Jim isn't going to lower himself to some immature internet spat with... oh wait, nevermind.

@x1251 - I would give up now. You'll never win. TPL doesn't even let police funeral motorcades get in his way.

"Give it a rest. Jim isn't going to lower himself to some immature internet spat with... oh wait, nevermind."

Whatever. But actually, I think it's a hard one to resist. x1251 just sounds too much like the guy from fanboy friday who was way too excited that "Kevin fucking Sorbo!!" was voice-acting in a game.

Is x1251 actually Anthony Burch? I swear Mr. Burch made a second covert account so he can act like a 5 year old on Destructoid and not take any heat for it. I swear those artsy-fartsy types are really closet nut-jobs.

Also, I'm fairly sure he called TPL fat once.

I think you left out the most important part: How many megabytes or gigabytes does this patch weigh ?

I like how Jim's posts are almost guaranteed to dissolve into a pointless and mildly retarded argument with little to no point involved.

I guess that's what keeps me coming back.

Jim,

Michael J. Fox? Not funny. Or tasteful. I hope you never get Parkinson's.

"he only way I'll be getting my face kicked is if I try and tie one of Michael J Fox's shoelaces."

Now THIS one is funny. Still not tasteful, though.

Oh God, a Micheal J. Fox joke. How insensitive of you. Why didn't you credit me? I've been making those for years.

Jim reminds me of one of those preppy guys with letterman jackets that cracks whitty mind numbing and poorly tasteless jokes, then jabs you in the arm and said "Funny right?"

If that's your thing.

To further comment on this little scuffle going on: It was god damn funny. I mean, I feel a little bad, but still...that shoelace comment was over the top.

Anyhow, on the topic, I'm taking it that there aren't any other major glitches going on Jim? For a game that has 256 people playing in the same game, I'm surprised that it has been this major glitch free so far...shame on you other developers, making buggy games.

Some people should calm down, reduce their sugar intake and stop getting frustrated by what others say on the internet.

The Beata definetly left me with an impression of why bother with this 3rd tier MP game. The reviews are now confirming it's soulessness. Game will be dead in months no doubt.

@PappaDukes - do you really have to relate how you're a disgusting incontinent little bastard? Who the fuck shits their pants through laughter? There's seriously something wrong with you if you think pretending to shit yourself is funny. Twat.
