This is not necessarily the case with video games. On the other hand, in many cases I can still listen to the original recording of an artist rather than a live or remastered version that I don't like. People made a huge deal about the changes to the original Star Wars trilogy, and it was justified because at the time you couldn't get the original theatrical release - you were stuck with the "Special Editions." You couldn't get the version you liked best. Why? I believe it's less likely when the original piece of art still exists to enjoy. These variations on art happen all the time, but people do not constantly complain about a piece of art or content being presented in a different way. Art evolves and changes over time, and today there are many ways to experience and enjoy the same content. Musicians vary recorded songs when they perform them live. Filmmakers release extended or Director's Cut editions, re-render a film in 3D, or in extreme cases completely revise existing footage (*cough* George Lucas *cough*). Writers release "uncut" editions of books years later. Many things can never truly be "finished," because there's always something more you can do, or some different way of doing it. If you're an artist of any kind, if you create something, you'll know that there's sometimes that urge to change it further, even when you stamp it finished. For the sake of argument, though, consider it art. I consider video games art, though others tend to disagree with that for a variety of misguided reasons. It's sad, because I originally considered it a great game. They are just going to get it and jump right in, and they don't deserve something broken.
Most people aren't going to research patches or issues with a game before purchasing and playing. Yet they still have it up for sale on PSN. Sony and the developers basically gave up on this game, leaving a product that is broken, beat and scarred - and unplayable in some aspects. It also makes it a royal pain in the ass for newcomers now, who have to sit through GBs of multiple updates to even play the core game, regardless of whether they bought any DLC or not. Not to mention deliberate changes to level design and gameplay that remove some of the challenge and alter gameplay significantly from the original version that I played. So many updates have broken the game on a variety of fronts, from levels not loading properly (Abusement Park doesn't currently work in the EU version), to glitchy online, to the video editor losing functionality, etc etc.

A different broken game is PAIN, the test child for any new PS3 technology (Move, 3D) and owner of what might possibly be the highest version of any patched game on PS3. We'll stop picking on Bethesda for a moment. I've encountered broken games before and I know you have too. Have to take advantage.ĭetecting a pattern? Yes, all the examples above are from the same publisher, Bethesda, and split between two developers, Bethesda and Obsidian, but this is not just about Bethesda (though they are a convenient scapegoat). Sorry, Bethesda, but you're an easy target. Yet, within 10 minutes of him playing it, it froze or crashed, and he had to spend considerable time searching around for the requisite updates or hardware tweaking in order to get it running properly.

I got my brother Fallout 3 on Windows for Christmas, said it was the best version of the game, due to the nature of PC gaming and hardware vs. Somewhat annoying, since I shouldn't have to do that, but I can live with it. I watch the save file gradually grow every time I save it, and I've taken to saving every few minutes so I don't have to redo much when it freezes. I'm also currently playing Fallout: New Vegas, another Bethesda-published game, and consistent with complaints about that game, it's freezing at least once every few hours. Since I don't play online much, I'm not really missing anything by being offline, so it doesn't bother me, but it's still annoying.
Based on that, I've decided that when I do play it, even if they have fixed everything by then, I'll probably just decline the patches and play it offline. I got The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PS3 about a month ago, but have been putting off starting it due to the saga of fixes and patches that Bethesda has released in response to many complaints about the game.
