After seven years, is submission not preferable to extinction?!?

Good news everyone!

[DextroDNA]

I like to go back and watch all the old ME3 trailers leading up to launch and remember how excited I was at the time. I can't wait until we get some proper trailers for ME4.

So true...

Just insert a lot of cursing and additional step 3.5.: WHUT? Where does that even come from?

Seriously, that was one bug that creeped me out and I was hoping got patched eventually. *Le Sigh...*

 

Any insight into why that bug (or whatever the technical term is) never got fixed?

I was testing explicitly MP for ME3, but looks like a procedural look-at bug where Shep's head-facing target is for some reason behind him, or possibly set to null or something along those lines. I suspect bugs like that are incredibly rare or random to reproduce (perhaps 99% of the time it works fine), and if programming doesn't know the circumstances of how a thing happens, they won't have a great idea of where to start to fix it. I'm not sure how frequent that look-at bug occured, but I suspect infrequency is one of the main reasons it made it into ship. It was probably considered a fairly minor issue too, compared to other things like rare crashes or memory leaks which take heavy priority and team focus towards cert and ship.

 

Patching can get even more strict in deciding what things to fix. Even the smallest tweak of content change can cause a lot of physical data to be changed, which would make a patch larger and larger for every small fix, so minor issues can get the axe even sooner post-ship to keep under patch cert limits.

 

There are a lot of other factors too, but that's probably the brunt of it. Plus seeing youtube vids of hilarious bugs and bloopers makes me smile.

And for the record, I have been impressed by just how solid and generally bug-free the game is. QA does a great job.

I'm going to go have a delicious sugar coma now.

 

Jos Hendriks @Sjosz

These cookies are too good. I've had 3 and now I just want to have a blissful nap.

 

Jos Hendriks @Sjosz

I'm not taking a nap though. I have an entire section of a mission to build so that we can fill it with banter and things later!

So much mass effect?

 

Jos Hendriks ‏@Sjosz

Very Mass. Much Effect. Wow.

The EFFECT of having too many cookies is more MASS.
