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 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Rokklaggio [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Black Eagle X99 The hate threads started after I watched the leaked campaign after having the ending spoiled for me. It was so terrible that it killed any excitement I had for the game. You are welcome to check that if you want, I guarantee the first thread I made was the week the game leaked. It's a lingering disappointment. I have been playing other games, I haven't touched Halo 4 for longer than one or two games in about 2 weeks now. You are also missing the fact that I made this thread after the onslaught of people defending 343i for all the missing content and such. Praise the game all you want, but any other company would have much more backlash for this by now. [/quote] Wait, wut 343i wasn't responsible for the missing content (if you're talking about specialisations, then they were given a list of who was eligible.) That was MS's doing. Don't blame the puppet-blame the ventriloquist. And as for that, barely anyone defended 343i on that behalf. Like, seriously, I'm probably one of the biggest Halo fanboy there is, and even [i] I [/i] couldn't defend those actions.[/quote]Well good. Yes the LE as a whole was BS. Huge BS. I also mean file browser, the shoddy servers, and the continued lack of a ranking system that encourages winning. Then of course the bugs and glitches that in some cases are painfully obvious. It's just for the most part, aside from the ranking system, inexcusable things. This is no longer a week in oh they'll fix it, we are about a month and a half in now.[/quote] If you want to point fingers, point them at Microsoft, they're ones who rushed 343i. There's a lot of bugs, I'll agree, and I'm not happy with the File Browser, but they're all being fixed, which is better than nothing. It shows you that, even for an incomplete game, they care about it. They're not just ignoring it-at least they're trying.
