Well, I'm not saying a buggy game is immediately bad, but a large number of bugs can make a game bad.

Universe at War, for instance, wasn't a bad game. But after my units got stuck for the hundredth time, I began to get really annoyed with the game.

I liked Universe at War, and I like a lot of games that have bugs in it. You'll never be able to get rid of all bugs, of course, but several of them are fixable. Petroglyph (makers of UaW) had time to fix the collision issue involved with making units stick in place. They had experience with not only RTSes, but also that Engine (Petroglyph previously made Star Wars: Empire at War and its expansion). Thus, Petroglyph had no excuse when it came to that sort of bugs. I also had cinematics stop suddenly, or go on indefinitely because a line of code was lost or forgotten.

As long as bugs don't hinder gameplay, then most of them are fine. But I've had so many bugs in UaW that hindered gameplay that I wrote the game off as badly programmed and now it resides in my closet under a bunch of Calvin and Hobbes books and some boxes.

Oh, btw, Yeah, I've played through the campaign on all three Halos on Legendary. Beat 'em all the way to end. I will agree, that level gave me and my friend a little trouble, but we essentially said, "Fuck it, I'll run in, respawn, you run in, respawn, etc." Beat the level in about 10 minutes after we decided to do that lol.

Well then, Syntax, you and I are of the same mind. I don't really like those games where you're nothing but liquid testosterone and ammunition.

But yeah, bugs in other games aren't very noticable, you see it, go "well, that's interesting" and then move on. In RTSes, they tend to stick out and say "look at me, I'm a bug and I'm gonna make your day miserable!"

Cloud's right. Bugs in RTSes usually give an advantage to another player.

I'm pretty sure recent(ish) patches have fixed those bugs, and they sure aren't present in the 360 version, I haven't played the PC version in almost a year, are you up for a game swan? I'm pretty sure you can play cross platform with GFWL silver accounts

Uh...maybe. I'll have to find it first, and then I'll have to check for patches lol. I thought they only had one patch out. At least, that's all they had when I stopped playing it.

don't worry about checking for patches, LIVE will do that for you when you try to sign in. Though you may need to go get GFW LIVE 2.0

Aye, Starcraft had bugs. But bad pathing isn't really a bug, and more of a ten-year-old game thing. Most games had horrible pathing when units weren't given a grid, or at least when they weren't given a big grid.
