Back on my steam wishlist menu that is.
I've had my eye on Deathwing for some time, I was eager, more than eager when it was due but on release I didn't get the game. With reviews like this it's not hard to see the good and the bad. So it's no wonder I've been waiting. Multiple patches have come. Of those patches so far the latest, patch 4 seems to have done the most to bring this game back on my radar. They are really fixing the BIG problems.
I appreciate a company who supports, improves and updates in major patches the game they have produced. But the more I see updated the more I can't help but feel like the PC version on released is the Beta test bed for the forthcoming console versions. I feel very conflicted with the last patch. When a game gets it's engine and levels reworked and rebuilt in a patch it's got to be feeding into development of the console versions imho. The Xbox One (and PS4) release is due later this year (August-ish?). I see the game being a lot more well rounded and polished for all versions by that time. That's good and bad and why I'm conflicted. The good is you get a better PC game, the bad is that if you already bought it your a guinea pig for those changes in their plans to go forward. This leaves me back at square one, no game, interested in getting it but not wanting to be a tester for their console releases. Maybe I'm reading too much into it all. Tinfoil hat removed.
I think I'll be waiting another while before I pick this game up. Perhaps I'll get it when the console versions are out and the pc version is 'complete' for a cheaper price. More time will tell.
