One of THE most dissapointing jobs in the world apprently. You have to take EVERY route possible in the game and have mass amounts of patience , note every bug/glitch down and tbh i'd get sick of games!Quote:

If your a game tester, you dont play the game.. You play one little section of a level over and over and over again so you go everywhere and do everything.. first i thought you would just keep playing the game.. but then i found out you play one tiny bit of the level over and over again.. Its on youtube somewhere from the gadget show i think
And phone tester sounds good.. unless it messes up your sim card lol
:O You'd think it'd be a good job, but then I suppose you'd get bored of it...Quote:

It is true, It was on the gadget show. Its probberly different for work exp.. But i know that they just sit there assigned a part of a level to just go over and over trying to find the bugs in the game.

This type of "playing" is tedious and grueling. Usually an unfinished game is not "fun" to play, especially over and over. A tester may play the same game — or even the same level in a game — over and over for eight hours or more at a time. If testing feature fixes, the tester may have to repeat a large number of sequences just to get to one spot in the game.
Wow that sounds like a drag eh. I wouldn't like doing the same level for 8 hours. :(Quote:

But yeah i thought you could just play the game all thr way through.. like all the other people because your not going to take the same route.. but it must be annoying and boring after a while playing just the same thing
True I wouldn't even manage over an hour, on the same level. You'd never want to play the game again... well, that certain level anyway. :PQuote:
