Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fuzzini" data-source="post: 18218" data-attributes="member: 793">As a passive observer (I've been playing TPA on the Vita while waiting for the Xbox updates), this whole debacle gives me the perception that the Xbox rev of TPA is an unmitigated disaster. While I in no way mean to come off as sounding unappreciative, it almost seems as if Farsight really got in over their heads trying to hit as many platforms as possible with too many tables too quickly (two a month is an admirable goal, but seems a bit overreaching), and combined with MS' rather stringent approval process my concern is that for the Xbox 360 version at least, the damage has already been done. I'm more than happy to wait out the Xbox rev, but I wonder how many people have already thrown in the towel? I can't help but think that this won't affect long-term sales of TPA on Live. Farsight should seriously consider farming TPA out to a precertification outfit before submitting each update to MS; it would likely iron out a lot of the issues involved with getting these approved in a timely fashion. It just seems a bit out-of-sorts that while I own three versions of TPA, only one is really playable (Vita), one has yet to have any updates (Xbox 360), and the last is plagued with performance issues (Android). There seems to be a level of inconsistency involved with each release; I guess what I'd really like to see is Farsight slowing down a bit on the table updates until they're sure they're ready for prime-time; public perception in the internet age is something that can make or break a title, and these perceptions can be formed virtually overnight. TPA deserves to do well, because it's likely the last time we'll ever see these tables again.</blockquote>
