[QUOTE="Emmanuel Papillon, post: 16778, member: 410"] I'm not complaining about DLC. I'm complaining about the released game in its current form being absolutely terrible IMO, while it looks much better on every single other platform, and not matching what we were promised visually. This game wasn't properly finished before release, and six months later, we still don't have a patch that'd put it at the level of the other versions. It's unacceptable. Farsight apparently believed they could manage TPA as being an alpha, a work in progress that'd be updated and fixed regularly. But that's not what Microsoft expects for XBLA, they expect games that work at release. It's always been known patching was long and difficult on XBLA and should be an exception, just in case a few bugs have been missed. And not "it's not finished yet but it'll get better as it goes along". DLC isn't the problem, patching the software to get it to the level it should have been at release is the problem. We all know the DLC itself has been approved. Actually, Pinball FX2 runs perfectly smoothly, and always had. It's the old Pinball FX that apparently had some issues. Except that even that old version, you know, worked right out of the box as advertised. They didn't make people wait six months for a patch that'd make it look like what they claimed it would be.
