Square...Bethesda has the right approach.

lol talkingabout bethesda like they know how to build a proper engine.

How many times did Fallout 3 brick my xbox360 for an hour? Oh yeah. EVERY FREAKING DAY

its actually not. CO went through a big f2p conversion recently, took them 6 months, the truth is the drastic reworking... is not really drastic reworking, cosmetically anyhow. I cant speak for what they may have had to do with the behind the scenes code, but juggling abilities, and altering the way some function and adding auto attack are not that deep, its not a years worth of development.

Aside from that they have done nothing, and thats also weird since they already had a decent amount of things done before they even released that have yet to be added, and even more planned. (look at old databases that were leaked that they had to take down)

Its pretty slow, speaking strictly in terms of results. Also dont blame the changing teams, games change directors, producers etc, all the time and they keep on trucking, once again look at CO.

Fact is, this pace of changes is slow, even straight building from the ground up, they have games that show more progress in alpha form.

look its pretty common that people will take assets from a different game, tweak them use a different engine, add content and rebuild the whole entire game in less time, look any number of portable conversions.

Its just slow man. I know you like defending them, but slow is slow. maybe they ll get faster, in fact i hope they do, but yeah this is slow.

BM:S would like to have a word with you. Total Conversion of Source to remake Black Mesa, Its been in production 7ish years, still not released. Was SUPPOSED to release in 09 btw. its 2011. Development takes time, especially with a small team.
