Dave and I are basically gonna be voicing our opinions on a particular subject. Since we were doing it on a different thread that wasn't ontopic to, I just made this. Jump in if you really care, just remain respectful.
Nexon makes Combat Arms, Valve makes Counter Striker
and just because a game has many lines of code...doesn't mean its done well.
And still WoW still sucks XDD
I can't really argue against something of pure opinion like whether a game is good or not, but what makes a game like Combat Arms and WoW especially have horrible coding? Granted Combat Arms is constantly infiltrated with hackers, but it's just like another other FPS game and developers can only do so much in terms of banning and patching as new hacks are constantly being made to bypass patches. With WoW, being developed by Blizzard, a large company, top of-the-line programmers are going to be be hired to tweak anything in terms of drop rates, debuffs, talent point distribution, armor stat formulas, boss mechanics, and adding new content. A poorly programmed game could be basically defined as a game with a numerous amount of bugs and things that need major balancing, yet the developer(s) don't give a 2 cents about it.
