so this is just wild guess and totally for "fun"
you work for Dice on battlefield 3
only proof played in a match with a bunch of guys with their GT starting with : Doctor _____
months ago now though*

well have you stopped any game breaking bugs or do they all get into the final game?

[OneTrueShot]

What's your basis on this assumption?

Assumption? Who said I was assuming?

@Comrade: Nah, didn't work for DICE. I've played with that team several times though. Games have an expected fix rate of 85 percent.

@Onetrueshot: I could have worded that better, admittedly. Just wondering how you knew. I am indeed a contracted QA compliance tester for EA Worldwide Compliance.

As per my other threads of 'interest', I can only state that I am a Biotic God.

@Onetrueshot : If you need to lie down... Lol. Well done.

[DullahansXMark]

lol think you can put in a good reference for me? I'm somehow a pro at finding glitches in games (like, did you know if you take cover behind that one car on the bridge during Archangel's recruitment mission in ME2 a certain way, you can glitch on top of it? What's more, you can't get back off.), and I don't even try.

[Immortal Strife]

Op, have you ever seen a game shipped with more bugs than Mass Effect 3. I have been a gamer for more than 20 years I have not seen anything quite like this. Also, how is it that every time DlC is introduced more bugs get incorporated? Maybe Bioware should hire you.

* I still love ME3, despite it's warts.

I really hope that the "As Designed" bugs only ever are things which are exploitable for fun.

You'd be very surprised and very disappointed. I shan't comment further in this.

Whelp. I have sneaking suspicion that actually doing this job would be very depressing, personally.

You never played LoZ: Ocarina of Time, have you?

[Mgamerz]

I highly doubt this job would be what most people think. It's not
OH I GET TO PLAY NEW GAMES BEFORE THEY RELEASE SWEET

It's more like

'Try to get yourself vanguard glitched. Do it again. Again. Again. Again.
Make the enemies invisible.
'

And I love the 'never seen a buggier game than ME3' statements. Apparenty they've never played Fallout 3 or NV.

I never played Fallout III, didn't it win game of the year?

Yes. If was a very fun game, with Awe inspiring DLCS (They were basically really good expansion packs, at DLC prices.)

3/4 of the glitches are still there.
(And can only be fixed on PC, with a fan made patch.)

That's the one. You kinda have to hunt for most of them, but they are BAD.

Small example: find a way to lose your sword, and for some random reason you can now use any weapon while on your horse, instead of just the bow. And that's not even all that you can do swordless.

Ah, you've been very lucky then.  I can't count the number of games that I've played with far worse problems, game breaking issues that rendered the product literally unplayable. 

I think the absolute worst was a pirate simulator back in the late 90s, I forget the name of it.  My two roommates and I all loved it, but it so terribly broken.  It was very rare to be able to play it for an hour straight without a crash or other major issue.  It sticks out as one of the rare games that I like enough to put up with really bad bugs. 

This is one of the buggier co-op games I've played, but it's also probably one of the most complex ones as well.

Sid Meyers Pirates?

[Yun0079]

Well none of you guys probably never read these articles from Kotaku regarding on tester job and how bad they get treated/paid.
http://kotaku.com/58...le-as-it-sounds
http://kotaku.com/58...a-damn-job-okay

Sounds really horrible job to me.

[Rokayt]

Any experience-free-entry level job will be terrible 90% of the time.....

Sid Meyers Pirates?

No, it was before the new version of that.  It actually bugs me that I can't remember the name of it.  Wouldn't mind playing it again and seeing if it holds up.

It was most similar to something like Port Royale, but would have come out 3-5 years earlier.  It was an open ended simulation set in the Carribean.  You could be a proper, freelance pirate, or work for one of the European crowns.  You could focus on raiding other ships, or invading towns and colonies.  The only victory condition that I remember is that you could retire once you had accumulated enough money.   But then you just passed your lead ship down to one of your crew and the game kept going with you playing that guy.

You think LoZ: OoT was bad?
Try Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. and I'm not even talking the original, the handheld verson for GameBoy...

How does it change the way you look at games and the industry, or all art or entertainment, for that matter? Do you have pet? I have a frog.

Yes. It was a very amazing game, with 2 cool DLCs and 2 insanely mediocre ones that weren't worth the dirt on the ground (One of them was basically a really good expansion pack, at a DLC price.)

I fixed it.
