Castle Crashers patch still without release date

by James Ransom-Wiley on Sep 5th 2008 5:20PM

Look guys, the cute little cartoon characters thing? Yeah, that ain't workin' so much these days. Folks are upset, and rightly so. Castle Crashers is broken. We know, we know, you told us a patch was coming. But why isn't it here yet!

... Er, what's that you say? You just had a "great talk" with Microsoft about it? Well, by golly, gosh, that's great news! But, you say. But what? But you don't have a "specific time frame"? Oh, don't worry about it. Those 1200

are just water under the bridge ... Aw, would you look at that: Those knights with their big blocky heads and stumpy wumpy hands -- how precious.

It has nothing to do with the cost of the game Danny. It's the principle. When people read the description of a game that is toted for being an awesome Live co-op game and read that is has co-op over Live, they expect it.

Yes, I'm going to try and get my money back. It's the least I can do to voice my opinion about the lack of online play all together from this title after being advertised and hyped to include such a feature. When the Online gets fixed, I might re-purchase because it is a great game from what I have played, and yes I remember paying 60+ for Double Dragon 3 as well but it didn't say it included certain features that were just absent. It's like buying a BMW for a comfortable ride and then when you push the button for the A/C a message pops up saying "we can't do that and no, you can;t take it in to the shop to get it fixed, but the ride is comfortable right!?"

Wow I typed a lot, but in the end I bought the game under the impression it has online -co-op. It is broken in that way all together and until it's fixed, it's false advertising imo

First off, children, the problem occurs only with games that you join randomly - if you play with Xbox live friends you invite, you will be able to connect. If youre trying to have some fun with strangers - you know, like an arcade (if any of you are old enough to have gone to one) it just will not connect in Castle Crashers mode. Arena and Quaff will work though.

Nothing irritates me more than a bunch of idiots who likely do not own the game telling those who are justifiably angry with the botched publish to 'get over it'. For those I have a handy acronym - GTFO.

Behemoth, patch this otherwise amazing game so that you can get the cred you deserve - if its not forthcoming soon you'll never see any of my money again.

First off, you're dumb.

Second off, I spent 3 hours trying to play this game with 2 other friends that live in other states and got nothing but lock-ups and dropped games. This immediately invalidates the random room theory.

Other games I have played do NOT have this issue, so without a doubt, this is a bug and should be addressed. Great game or not, I paid $15 in the hopes to enjoy this game with some friends and was unable to.

just wondering if anyone has had this problem with castle crashers. i got new xbox, put hard drive from last xbox on it with all of saved castle crashers stuff on it, now for some reason iv'e lost all my level ups and exp points yet when i played a few levels again all the levels from when i had the last xbox suddenly were accesible again, only my character still was only level 3. anyhow as soon as i turn the xbox off, all saves are gone and i have to start again.
