i think your looking wayyyy too into patches.

patches dont drastically change the game. they are small things that come to fix bugs our counter cheating. (IMO, catch 22 cuz i believe the HD which can be used to get patches to help against cheating... also is what allows more cheating)

but if a game that comes out that is crap, patches arent going to fix the game.

been dealing with patches for years and years

if a game is bad. the developers are going to use the good idea's and things to improve gameplay on the Next game, not give all the idea's away for free in a download.

and the downloads have to be a reasonable size. even in broadband. downloading a big enough patch people dont want to do when they want to play right away.


I'd prefer to see console games done correctly the first time instead of fixing bugs later.

and dont confuse Addons with Patches. Addons arent required to play the actual game. they just add more. levels, gameplay types. or etc. Addons are good, i dont think anyone would complain about addons.

patches fix goofups and mistakes the devs made in the game.
