Can any game developer make a proper game anymore? Everything seems to need patching :).

You can thank MS for that. I remember telling everyone back in 2000 that MS entering the console world was a bad idea. By making HDD standard and online connectivity a "must", this was all but inevitable.

Oh, stop it, constantly trying to find ways of blaming everything bad on MS is so tiresome. Grow up.

I could lay blame on all three companies if I wanted to, but in this instance, MS was the one who got it because you were bitching about rushed IP and it was the original Xbox that allowed for that to happen.

If you have a counter argument, I'd love to hear it instead of insults and dodging tactics.

Having HDD doesn´t "allow" for anything to happen. Having developers that can´t do their job is the reason. Using MS as the one to blame removes too much focus from those that are to blame.

If someone uses a car to run into a store, do you blame car manufacturers for allowing cars to be used in that manner or do you actually blame the driver?

This is the reason why I find these arguments so tiresome, since some people just can´t seem to accept that MS is a great developer that has contributed to the industry in a lot of positive ways, just as Nintendo and Sony.
