Why are we tolerating console game patches?

I still think that console games should be made/finished properly before release and avoid as many patches as possible considering the prices we pay for the games and we have to take into account that not all console gamers connect to internet and are able to patch their game.

You do realize thats still the idea right? They do their best to release a 100% bug proof product? Boogles my mind why you would not want the ability to patch a game.

I'm still pissed over the Puzzle Quest bug on my PSP. You get Allies, and the allies have special bonuses that apply to your battles. And you choose which 2 or 3 allies are currently active, so that you get those bonouses. Well, there is a bug that the bonouses don't work at all. So, that whole piece of your strategy does nothing. Irritates the hell outta me that there isn't a patch for it.

For the price I paid for my PSP Puzzle Quest game, I certainly think they should patch or have the ability to patch the bug.

 

 The ammount of games that have bugs and need patches have risen substantialy and I find that unacceptable, what about gamers that can´t patch because they don´t connect to the internet with their consoles?

I am not saying that we shouldn´t have patches bucause we should but I am saying that game developers have to put more effort into making the games with less bugs so we need less patches. When I pay for a game I expect it to work properly without patches (some rare instances I can accept patches if they real badly are needed).

To me it seems that developers just rush the games out and try and fix it later which i find highly unaccetable.

If Nintendo can make games work without a greater need of patches then so can other developers too and I expect them to actually deliver a game with as little bugs as possible with the console prices we have today.
