I don't approve of companies who don't finish their products as promised and instead opt for rushing the product out. It's not that much to ask for, I just want a quality game.

 

You don't have the right to bash any game for content when you haven't even played it.  How can you judge whether or not a game is "sloppy" or "rushed" when there's no way you could have even played it yet?  Those are both terms that you've used to describe Fable 2 in this thread, so my question to you is how do you even know? 

Day 1 patches are the norm these days, and that's not necessarily a good or bad thing.  It depends on the circumstances.  Anyone who's looking forward to Fable 2 should be glad that the multi player will be added in the patch, because it was done to tighten things up before release.  I come from a PC gaming background where any time you buy a new game, you almost always have to download a day 1, or at least week 1, patch and then a video card and possibly sound card driver update and that's not including the time it takes to install the game itself.  So a 10 second patch on launch day for Fable 2 is hardly going to bother me.

 

I too come from PC gaming, in fact that's my main platform right now. Yet I haven't noticed a huge increase in day 1 patches. Maybe if we're talking MMOs where there's just so many little mobs that could be broken that chances are one will be yeah we will see a first week patch, yet usually we don't see one until later and even then the patch does nt contain a component of the game that should have been in the packaged version. Being "rushed" is not a quality of a game that you need to play to know about. It's a property of a game which is acquired when a developer rushes to release the game before a certain time, usually the holidays, instead of pushing back the release date a little bit. I also did not call the game sloppy, I called the developers sloppy. Not pushing a game back to hit a certain deadline when it should be pushed back is sloppy and a bad practice.
