I'm stuck at the stone angels myself.

If you knew why they are so difficult and why it wasn't fixed it would probably piss you off. Let's just say that we tried hard to get it fixed but were denied the chance to.

Either way, yeah, it's freaking difficult.

Oh, and on professional the AI isn't supposed to revive people I think, or maybe it was just you. They're not supposed to revive you. Can't remember anymore.

Glad to see you would've fixed it had you had the chance, cause good freaking lord, that section was peeving me off, quite a bit.

As for the AI reviving people, they did, very rarely though.

So yeah, the rest of the achievements will be done on the easier levels cause holy crap, those stone angels on that level are just insane.

On another note… awesome signature block there Archer. Never saw that before… funny mix of For Better or For Worse and Pod People! Love that MST3K episode.

And thanks, I can't remember where I found it, but yeah, that episode was great.

I get the impression that Atari and Terminal Reality have both pretty much ‘washed thier hands’ of this game, and it's continued problems. Yes it's a great game, but the bugs are still serious, and any attempts made to contact either company about the issues present, or any hope of any DLC for it (or the PlayStation Home Firehouse & Ornaments for Europe) seem to always be ignored on all accounts.
It doesn't create a very good impression.

I just want the Xbox 360 version to get a patch like the PS3 did. That's the least they could do.

Unfortunately, decisions like that come from the publisher.

Hm, I don't get why Atari wouldn't want to patch the game, but then again, Ghostbusters is (unfortunately) Sony property, so I can see the PS3 getting support while the 360 doesn't.

I contacted Atari and they pointed me to MyGamerCard.Net and told me that several users have unlocked the glitched achievements and then cut and pasted the “how to” from some other website. It appears they are ignorant of the fact that some people hack their achievements and are unwilling to delve deeper into the matter when you point this out to them. Skanker, I'm assuming you had a working relationship with Atari, can't someone contact them and get them to understand that there is in fact problems that need to be addressed?

If you want to try and get more info, you can try contacting our community manager.

Her job is to deal with public relations. I'm getting to the border line where I feel that what I may say could either get me in trouble or be taken the wrong way.

Either way, she could help get your concerns to the right people. She may even have answers for you that I feel I cannot say publicly.

Because the primary support period is over. This means that there is no real financial reason to spend more money on the game. It's been out for months and most people who were going to buy it have already bought it. It's discounted now so it will pick up some straggler buyers, but Atari has no real financial reason to put any more into the game.

Of course, this doesn't bring the moral obligation into it, but it's business and money is money.

The shocking truth… it hurts, isn´t it?
