343i - A Look At What's Wrong Right Now

This has been a trend for a while now, yet as of late it seems to have become more prevalent. I of course mean the attitude of "Well it's their product, they can do what they want, you get what you get". Why on Earth would anyone want to promote an ideal like that? Yes, it is VERY prevalent in the video game industry lately. More corners cut, less product shipped, more unfinished products shipped. Why keep going like this? If you bought a TV and it shipped lets say without a few imputs working, less packing material was used, and the manual was basic with the complete one offered online, would you still buy this TV? What is the company promised to eventually fixed the issues at an unset date, because they were so proud of their TV that they just NEEDED to ship it out in this condition. Would you buy this TV? It's okay, even though it's not finished the TV is still full price. I'm sure that's fine with you though, it's a new company and their first TV, even though it's entirely run by industry veterans. Oh and they offered a higher definition, but then almost at the last minute made every TV the same HD. Those who bought the HD model were not compensated however, but they got a nice box and a complete manual out of the deal! One last thing, the TV randomly powers off your cable and internet. You can still watch DVDs and stuff, so I'm sure you don't mind. Halo 4 is this TV. 343i is the TV manufacturer. Why are any of you defending levels of BS like this? If it were any other product the company would fail and be ostracized until they got it together again. Stop defending someone that shipped a half finished product and cut corners. They have no excuses and you shouldn't give them any. So why do you? tldr; 343i shipped Halo 4 half finished. If someone shipped a half finished TV you wouldn't buy it. Why are you putting up with this?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Black Eagle X99 They are doing a crappy job. Some time at the end of December maybe does NOT make me confident about getting an update anytime soon. Bungie was rushed and had less time as a whole to work on Halo 2, yet the game shipped with all features active. Hell Mass Effect 3 got finished in two years, and it is about 4x as large as Halo 4. The only issue with them was an extremely open ending. Millions of dollars and industry veterans should have easily been able to meet their deadline.[/quote] Ugh, 1.) There's going to be an update this January. 2.) The reason why Halo 2 shipped with all it's stuff intact was because they had the same amount of time as 343i, but they had less stuff to work on. Plus, they were experts, too. They've made many games before. 3.) Mass Effect 3 was also made by an older and more professional company with many more workers. Obviously, it's going to meet its deadline. [Edited on 12.13.2012 9:10 PM PST]
