GAMING INC. so many games have awesome single players Skyrim Red dead 2 BOTW Mario Odyessey Undertale, Hollow Knight, Fallout NV you just have to look in the right places a lot of AAA games won’t do that, but the indie games r where it’s at

@@ghosttoast8610 the actual TES games have always been single player. We have no reason really to expect otherwise with the flop of fallout 76 and lukewarm reception of eso.
#1 A complete game #2 A very well optimized game #3 Developers actually listening to player feedback #4 Valve finally counting to 3 #5 EA stops buying every game company and stops overpricing everything #6 no more micro transactions (especially loot boxes)
put number 5 as number 1 cause it should be prioritized because that fixes number 2,3 and 6 in one go edit: valve should just make a 2.99 version of their games, you can round that number up to 3 and you have a trilogy
Hi there, hope you are having a wonderful day. "Unfortunately" everything is political, possibly even more so art. Both adressing societal issues and *not* adressing them is a political statement... Status quo and all that. Broaden your horizon and challenge your own believes, you may grow as a person. Stay awesome.
the yoyo master I have, the games are good, it’s just the micro transactions after micro transactions, and that is the only thing I have against them... It’s almost all pay to win
#11: Actually finnish the game before releasing it. It's getting old when you buy a game on launch and it's buggy af and then you get massive file size patches out the ass constantly for the next couple months. I'd rather wait an extra two months if it would mean an actual tested and completed game.
Dude I’m tired of that too. I’m not sure what happens with the new CoD but I had room for 4 30-40 Gb games and then an update came and I had room for only 2 30 Gb games
@@AntonSuprun Oh I have learned long ago. Aside from Far Cry 5, I can't even remember when was the last time I bought a game right away after the official release. Still, I have few friends that still like pre-ordering games and hear constant complaints about different games being unfinished which just further proofs my point that games are still being rushed out too early.
Oreo Mint Tge new cod should get a pass because I had alot of new content added & it wasn’t a bug fix or if it was a bug fix, it wasn’t ‘Just’ a bug fix
I bought the witcher 3 on release, blind. Knew nothing about it, did not hear any hype, it just looked good. When I opened the case and all of this extra free stuff came tumbling out I was blown away. You found this in games long, long ago but never in today's time. Knew right away they were a rare developer.
Owen Squelch right!! I love that in games. I got a sound track and a map. I FRIGGN LOVE THAT. It shows that C.D Projekt red really cares about what they created
LadyGaGa is hot how was he in anyway implying that game companies owe him something? Jeez you were just waiting to argue with somebody huh. God forbid somebody gives their opinion smh. Do you not also miss being able to unlock everything by just playing a game or are you just a corporate sheep with nothing better to do than make dumbass comments that had nothing to do with the original post
@LadyGaGa is hot If we buy their game they do owe us. They owe us a good experience. If I pay $60 for a game I expect that game to be supported and updated with new content every so often, even if its not much. If its a $40 game I don't expect content updates but I do expect bug fixes and a complete experience with no micro transactions. If its a $20 game I expect it to be a complete experience that could get updates in the form of paid dlc. If its a $10 game I expect it to be a base game with a few dlc to tie it together. If its free I expect it to be playable free but paid content to either greatly expand the story. (Destiny 2) Be cosmetic only (Paladins) and be constantly updated so that I have a reason to play and possibly buy the new content. The game industry does owe us because we are the ones who keep them alive. They keep us happy we keep them paid. EG Final fantasy 15 gave away ALL the DLC for free so I bought 4 other Final fantasy games. (10 remastered, 12 Remastered, FF7 original and FF8) Any company that has that business model will always have my business because it allows me to buy more of their products without thinking, Oh hey what if a dlc comes out for this game. Do I get another one of their games or the dlc?
@@jeremyroberts8822 You seem to forget that games back then (full 50 dollar games) are less than free apps on your phone now a days. See the PS1 remaster and tell me you would pay for those. With inflation those games costed 80 modern dollars, some of them you wouldn't even download on your phone because they are so shitty. Tons of unlockableas were a cheap way of making a short 10 hour game into however long you wanted, now we have these things called GOOD GAMES. Not browser games.
Dlc is like an expansion to a game. Like if there is a area in a game that you can only go in with the dlc. Then you buy like the desert dlc and you can enter the desert. But free dlc would be nice!
I think what most people are not seeing, what developers should also learn from, is that people are happily buying DLCs if you actually deliver an appropriate addition to the game, for an appropriate price, in stead of just some overpriced micro transactions or small add-ons, not sayin' that any of these are bad, because they can be awesome if the price-content ratio is actually balanced (see Borderlands2 for a good example IMO).
Well to be fair he is (From what I've seen) the most liked commentator on Gameranx. Not trying to say the others are bad, oh no quite the opposite. Though he is, in my opinion, the most fluid-well spoken commentator on Gameranx.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but they've been terrible for the most part. Take this video for example, the majority of the points being made were the EXACT same - free post-launch content. *Side note* I'm also led to believe that the majority of his videos are his opinions with little research because of how tangential he gets with 2-3 points per video.
Heard about ubisoft ? They give shit ton of care for their costumers and their games, they even relese godamn lure books about the world of the game And theres the 20% off thingy which is awsome
Nah they would be one of the best AAA Companies because if you remember back when need for speed didn't have any microtransactions Nfs underground underground2 most wanted ect they sold really well If they didn't have microtranses the Sims4 would have the pets and the other dlcs at launch and I would of bought it Now I just crack any ea game cus I don't want to pay extra for dlcs
Zack Playz some games are fine such as fighting games adding new characters as those aren’t things that are essential to anything like the real ending or anything
Yeah it sucks but it's not always greed or at least not EA grade type of greed. Today a standard release costs around 60$/€, but some games have budgets so high that 60 dollars is not enough to cover the expenses (and get a decent profit) hence all these "deluxe" and "gold" editions from the release.
@@dxpehat7682 yeah, when you buy the Normal game you almost feel like you're getting an inferior version and sometimes you're basically hoping you have the content you want when you don't buy a bundle or a gold version
The way I see it, your not paying to play with friends, your paying tonplay with friends without worrying about hackers/cheaters as they are far fewer on console.
I mean, if you really think about it - which one really benefits us as customers? I'm happy Nintendo gave the man his dying wish, that is why I became a developer myself, buuut One gets us an "Awwh, that's so amazing - good on you Nintendo, and RIP man who died" & the other gets us Cyberpunk 2077 - so if I had to choose - lol, I'm just being an ass, it really shouldn't matter where either story is placed on the list Tbh, as long as it's there and makes people aware of it, good deeds really shouldn't matter if it's First or last, really.
While I agree with pay2win, lootboxes and even micro transactions, can be justified and a good addition to the game. Lootboxes in Overwatch are a good example, you get them while you level up for free, but you can also buy them if you want more, faster. And micro transactions can be justified aswell, if a studio has to sustain themselfes longer from less games, IF they are appropriate to the game and don't give benefits you otherwise wouldn't obtain, they should always be just a substitute if you don't have or aren't willing to spend the time on certain things.
@@Elysiabikha Games are, if you like it or not, a buissness and if you restrict or strip away the way to pay a working company the buissness will die and so developers who know the game won't bring in the money needed to live on until the next release need a way to compensate. You wouldn't like it as well if you would be payed less money for working, just because your boss thinks you should only get paid x-amount of money, so it better fits his wallet.
@@EricThexD because of people like you many are suffering because people like you micro transactions are in every game and because people like you many sagas are prostituting and the world it's a worse place. Stop justifying p2w and all the other shiet because you will lose every time
Honestly, I wish all three major platforms would get rid of the need for premium subscriptions to play online, but then again, I mostly play single player games anyway.
To be fair it does cost them to maintain and power the servers that you're using to play console games online but maybe reduce the fee so that they aren't making a tonne of money from it but just breaking even after costs is a good idea.
Most of not all of the DLC was supposed to be single player story expansions but Rockstar realised that that would make much more money by making them online exclusive and ramping up the cost of everything in game and rewarding griefers for griefing other players. In single player your businesses earn you money passively, however your online businesses cost you money passively, ever noticed that? It's a shitty, greedy move.
Digital Extremes seems like one of the most benevolent companies I've ever seen. Like, in general, not just in gaming. I have a hell of a lot of respect for them.
I bought a new copy of Ace Combat 7 on the day it released, took it home, installed it on my Xbone, and thought I had missed something because I didn’t see it downloading a patch. So I uninstalled it, took my Xbone completely offline and did a clean reinstall. Started the game up, went back online, and it never once said it needed to download any sort of patch. It was weeks before it had to download any kind of patch. Day one of release and a AAA game was just, finished, and on the disc. I felt like I had time traveled back to 2008 when games still did that. Oh and props to The Division 2 for making all the DLC free to play and adding more story content after the game had come out.
Nobody? Thats a pretty broad claim to make. you think just cause it wasn't posted publicly online that it couldn't have possibly been pirated at all? Maybe, very *very* unlikely though.
I saw someone say they pirated a copy, then saw two commenters ask for the person's steam info so they could buy him a legit copy as a gift because CDPR didn't deserve piracy.
@@everardosalvador-martinez49 TLDR; I agree with you that a game shouldn't take 2 or 3+ years to release after the trailer goes live, I'm saying that the time frame in which the trailer goes live vs. the game actually releasing is very important and that shorter isn't necessarily better and developers need to take into consideration time frames. Now that that's out of the way for a full explanation- Yeah I agree, but again the time window is very important. Let's take Fallout 4 for example, Bethesda released their trailer for Fallout 4 in June of 2015 and it was released officially in November that same year. It did really well in sales, selling 1.2 million copies in 24 hours on Steam. We can both agree that that's a lot. Now look at Rockstars Red Dead Redemption 2, the trailer was released in October of 2016 and was released 2 years later in October 2018 and sold 17 million copies. The time window was greater then Fallout's and arguably Fallout (including all Fallout games + the fanbase) is bigger then RDR. I'm not taking into account that Fallout 4 wasn't the best game and that RDR2 is better, I'm just saying that Fallout had a shorter time frame to generate hype, market and finish/polish the game by their initial release date compared to RDR2. BUT that isn't to say that longer wait time is better, they both took very drastic directions and developers need to take into consideration said time-frame.
Wildcard whenever they do a free map, maps like Ragnarok, center, and now Valguero have become sponsored mods from this studio. They also have constantly released dinosaurs with each new map as well as doing different events almost every holiday and/or weekend. The only trouble I have with the studio is you can tell theyre holding back for their maps that need to be purchased which is whole heartedly understandable but a lot of the community doesn't appreciate it
I saw it suddenly had great reviews one time when it was 50% off for a steam sale and I just thought "Fuck it. It's improved and I love this kinda stuff" and bought it.
@@hoonsurdaddy8482 Dude it's like 20+ hrs per character, that's a lotta grind and is only there to encourage ppl to take the easy route and pay a little bit of cash for them instead.
i bought that cheap 15$ rainbow edition and i havent spent a dime and unlocked alot of charachters so far its a fun game people are just imaptient and brain dead lmao
But it needs 15 - 20hrs to f*cking grind it tho, R6S operator DLC system is the worst system of adding new characters. CLOSE TO PAY TO WIN Ubisoft doesnt have ANY good DLC system so far at this date.
I like when we didn't have any DLCs. When game is released, it's fully *finished* , any new ideas would go to the sequels. Nowadays we're used to having a game being released unfinished, then have to sit through stupidly large day-one patches and pay for DLCs to get the "full experience" down the road. Some may argue that's the "extra experience" but no, that's just bullshit. All they did is save the resources of making a sequel but cash in more on an old title. It's good that some developers decides to not charge on the DLCs, but how about release a game after it's finished?
What about the witcher 3? the game was fully finished and it was one of THE BEST stories ever in not just a videogame but also in most media.And the Dlc were Stories of their own that arent needed to experience everything but they were still amazing
I completely agree but a good game like the Witcher or persona will always leave a lot of fans like me thirsty for more. A lot of games now are unfinished messes. but finished games like those 2 I listed can keep getting milked for years and we would still love it.
That's the point of dlc, it's to add another content that doesn't impact you from enjoying the full game but it's a story of their own, nowadays the name "dlc" are misused by greedy company like EA and Activision to sell unfinished product that needs the "dlc" to experience the full gameplay
My biggedt problem with dlc, is most of the dlcs will become unuseable if you end up offline for any reason. And some games like Fable 3, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect will often corrupt your save files if you try to load up a save that you played with dlcs offline.
Warframe dev is the only game company that want their fanbase spent to much money for them Most of the player buy the premium money just to appreciate the dev effort
Agreed. When I still played I was fine with $20 a month in platinum purchases because it was a good game as a whole. Plus I had to make my nidus look good
I've been thinking of getting into the game now lol. And actually doing whatever premium thing they have, just cause I really think they do deserve the support.
@@redmoon383 Also their cosmetic options are varied and reasonably priced, especially with the discounts you get consistently, unlike Anthem's 2000 shards "recolored" skins.
@@jesseroberts9960 It's as good a time as any. The game got a bunch of updates and new content and reworked some stuff. Only thing is the game is very grindy (get ready to repeat mission multiple times) and almost nothing is explained well within the game. The wiki is every player's best friend.
Karl Wilson I hope you are not referring to me, and if you are, I am sorry, I was not upset at the time, I was dumb back then. I do in fact hate in-app purchases, although I am ok with DLCs that have enough content to be worth it.... I am sorry, I hope you can accept my apology. Have a good week...

@@omarenriquez6094 Minecraft first came out in 2009, in that first version, many things were still very rudimentary and the creators had no idea that the game would soon become one of the most well received games in the videogame industry. From 2009 to this present day (2019) the developers have made the game better by creating new updates every year. From the base game they added : new items, blocks, biomes, mobs, commands, and much more, all for free! Even at this very moment, they are working on the "village and pillage update" which adds new game mechanics with villagers. So yes, I do think I know what an update is. Like it or not, minecraft has updates.
Through investing some interest into what goes on behind the making of a game (esp. AAA, and mostly thank's to my subscription to your channel). I've learned that it's an ugly, cut-throat, and toxic industry to be employed in. It's so nice to see the spirit of video games reflected in these companies. Although the writing in games rivals most films coming out of Hollywood, sometimes we forget that these games are supposed to be fun. This kind of attitude of appreciation to supporter's, all the way to beautiful acts of charity like the young man dying of cancer is what it takes to keep "fun" the central point behind a project. These are the people who wanted to be programmer's, and haven't been jaded by the experience. They are living their dream, and obviously gracious. Therefore, they spread happiness, which is the very soul of this industry's divine purpose. Well, played, and terrific vid.
I am visually impaired/legally blind and I miss playable demos. sometimes I get a game and then find out I can't play it because it is visually hard for me.
I'm sorry to hear bud, I know the Resident Evil 2: Remake has a playable demo of the first 30 minutes of the game for free on Steam, though be warned I think you get the 30-minute time limit and that's it. But it's very nice to see that it's the actual game that the demo is giving you and not some sort of test-copy that is different from the release.

The following companies also worth considering: - scs - They also known to give some DLC's for free, especially for American Truck Simulator. Also they involve there players into there streams - Giant - Sadly they do not involve player as SCS does, however what worth to mention is instead of giving dlc's for free the give them as mods - Paradox Interactive - Sadly they do not really give some dlcs for free, however they they involve / support there community by involving some youtubers even modders
Ethan Dude if you still haven’t played the original battlefront 2 then you’re missing out. That game was the bomb! I’m pretty sure it goes for like 5 dollars on steam. I highly recommend it
What about Overwatch? It’s a bit older but, all of the characters they release are completely free, and so are all of the new maps they release. The only micro transactions are loot boxes that you don’t have to by to improve your game at all because you very easily get coins to get the skins that you want within the game. I think Blizzard has done an amazing job with this kind of stuff.
I think a cool DLC model would be to throw a modding competition and let players choose the best mod so the DLC would be based on then the team could be recruited by the company to finish the DLC with companies resources.
@@cyberium5020 - if the game turned out to be bad since day one, no amount of patches/updates will change my mind. The game should be done well from the start.
I do remember... and I don't necessarily miss that model. The simplicity is awesome but... there have been some really cool game extensions in the form of DLCs that would never have happened unless they were DLC. Fallout: New Vegas comes to mind; so does The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim; and new cars added to racing games; etc. There's a lot we've gained because paid DLC exists. It lets developers (especially smaller ones who don't sell millions of copies - i.e. most studios) spend more time on a project and make it better.
Nintendo is and always has been a open and caring company. never had any issues with ANY Nintendo product i have purchased. just compare Nintendo messed up systems reports with Microsoft, it shows what the company cares about its product, reliability of the product, and their fan base. my Nintendo ds light and NES are in perfect working condition and i've had both since release. rip the 4 Xbox 360s i went through with red rigs. :-:

That last one about the cancer patient playing Smash Bros. Gearbox did the same thing with Borderlands 2 where they made a character name Michael Mamaril, who was made as a tribute to a Borderlands fan who died in life at age 22.
The fact that every update big or small for Sea of thieves is absolutely free and that they listen to their fanbase whether they're being positive or negative to improve the game the fact that they make it a fair game They also support the community streamers by giving them highly sought-after items to give out which helps to her views and their growth, along with the fact that despite turn quarantine working from home they're still pushing out good updates with bug fixes quality of life and overall just good stuff
heres another one... Mojang/Microsoft would let u get a free copy of Windows 10 edition minecraft that you could keep forever if you had Java Edition The deal lasted for many many months but ended at the end of last year but its still a very nice free thing they did :3
Yeah, but that was after they realised that Minecraft wasn't selling very well anymore. By the time Microsoft bought Minecraft, it was no longer "the game" to have. So, everyone who enjoys the game still plays it, but that's not making money. And everyone who had Minecraft because it was trendy wasn't playing it, and people stopped buying it. Minecraft isn't dead, but the sales potential is. So, what's the point in selling a game if no-one will buy it? The only way Minecraft can get sales is if it becomes trendy again. So, in a desperate act to get news articles about Minecraft, Microsoft gave copies of the game away. It did increase sales slightly, but Minecraft stopped being trendy before Microsoft bought it.

Another thing tripwire has been doing with rising storm 2 Vietnam is if you make a map and it becomes popular they add it to a pool and will add it to the Standard rotation of maps. Also they toy soldiers dlc was hella fun
Escape from tarkov tends to give out large amounts of in game money or give rare items to players if servers are down or backed up. They also send it with a letter of apology
Their next game is That STAR WARS Jedi game set after Episode 3. And in case you didn't know since Titanfall 2 EA has actually bought the studio. So EA is going to have a bigger say in what the studio does now. Maybe They made it part of the contract that EA can't force them to do such and such. Let's hope... But the fact is EA owns them and that gives them less freedom as a company. There's no point in owning a studio you have no control over.
A similar experience is when they announced that battlefront 2 would have no paid dlc’s unfortunately that still had loot boxes but still free maps modes and characters were freaking awesome
Sold full games, rather than cut them into pieces as DLC. FREE additional DLC as the game stays alive and thrives. Made online play with others free, since we already pay for the internet as-is. Delet micro-transactions outright, NEVER balance gameplay ground to nudge people towards such a system... Lots of shit.
Game company: Cuts game into peices as DLC and has the full version cost $130, shitty and bugged with generic lifeless and uncreative gameplay focusing almost only on story, removing mods and making said game feel like a shitty console game. Game company: why isnt my game an Esports title?
I wish companies would take more time to flesh out & finish their games. Look at Larian Studios, they took their time & even delayed DOS:2 a bit to have everything voice-acted (which wasn't intended at first). Boom, they delivered the BEST RPG ever (my opinion ofcourse). Everything in that game was done with such passion, it made me tear up a few times through-out my first play-through. I just couldn't believe I was actually playing such a masterpiece. And get this, the only "dlc" is a singular extra companion for not even a dollar and a 15 dollar "dlc" which basically is an artbook, in-depth lore book, a map and soundtrack. Why? Because they made a finished game from the get-go.
I love when warframe gets recognized on channels that aren't dedicated to it. Especially for how underappreciated the game is and how how nice the devs are. Whenever there's a big update and people start playing again, the devs look for glitches, read community feedback and sometimes patch out those glitches within hours of knowing about it. Digital Extremes actually listens to the community, unlike some companies I know. *cough cough epic cough*
Personally one of my favorites is a game that either gets a remake or a next version that rewards previous version owners with either a free copy, transfers DLC, or a 75% or higher discount on the next version. Some do many of the above. A slightly less nice but also good, suscription based games that give you expansions rather than selling them to you.
Sea of Thieves. While an utter disappointment after a dozen or so hours at launch, it is free with Game Pass, there are NO microtransactions (yet. Later, will be cosmetic) every single update (new ship(s), weekly, monthly, seasonal, expansion) is absolutely free and always will be. PLUS, they have recoded (reduced "overlapping"/"unnecessary" code) the game to reduce the total size by, at least, half. It requires a full reinstall (Feb 6th) but gives you, basically, free additional storage on your console. I preordered this before it was announced it was going on GP, and I was PISSED when it came out and was a mere 30% of an actual game...but it is so freaking good ajd immersive now, it's crazy.
@@johnnyboy3476 while I agree, to a point, their plan was ALWAYS to have free updates, DLC etc. I will reiterate Rareware's absolute fail of a launch, but what they've done post-launch, at this point, is fantastic. AND if ya have GP, it's "free".
sea of thieves can't be said they are good for giving this stuff away. they launched a game with absolutely fuck all for content, and had the balls to charge for it. they had the choice of fix their game and add those things, or forever be labeled as a company to not buy games from.
I agree. Picked up sea of thieves about a month ago, and have barely been able to put it down. The game is immersive in a way, I haven't felt in a game in a very long time.
Honestly digital extremes is my favorite video game company because, they will never manage to mess anything up and if they do they’ve done so many great things that personally I’ll forgive them for whatever
For example: Bf4 had a rough start as well, but due to continues support from Dice and the community it turned into a great game with lots of free dlc added to it!
Well, CD Project by: - a stunning DLC policy where content is *actually* a superlarge *addition* and not cut content - selling a complete game in any edition of Cyberpunk - Handing out artwork and OST for free in Witcher 3 (and probably Cyberpunk?) - Fixing remaining bugs ASAP in Witcher 3 - Putting NO DRM on any of their games - Pushing out fantastically polished content Day 1 at any of their games so far - making me shed a tear when they released the video to celebrate Witcher jubilee, because I was so heavily invested in the game and its fantastic storytelling. But only a small tear. Of course. - ...and just (almost) everything else they do. *What a company.* Yeah. Seems like I'm really a fanboy.

@LadyGaGa is hot smells like sheep
@LadyGaGa is hot If we buy their game they do owe us. They owe us a good experience. If I pay $60 for a game I expect that game to be supported and updated with new content every so often, even if its not much.
If its a $40 game I don't expect content updates but I do expect bug fixes and a complete experience with no micro transactions.
If its a $20 game I expect it to be a complete experience that could get updates in the form of paid dlc.
If its a $10 game I expect it to be a base game with a few dlc to tie it together.
If its free I expect it to be playable free but paid content to either greatly expand the story. (Destiny 2) Be cosmetic only (Paladins) and be constantly updated so that I have a reason to play and possibly buy the new content.
The game industry does owe us because we are the ones who keep them alive. They keep us happy we keep them paid. EG Final fantasy 15 gave away ALL the DLC for free so I bought 4 other Final fantasy games. (10 remastered, 12 Remastered, FF7 original and FF8)

While I agree with pay2win, lootboxes and even micro transactions, can be justified and a good addition to the game. Lootboxes in Overwatch are a good example, you get them while you level up for free, but you can also buy them if you want more, faster. And micro transactions can be justified aswell, if a studio has to sustain themselfes longer from less games, IF they are appropriate to the game and don't give benefits you otherwise wouldn't obtain, they should always be just a substitute if you don't have or aren't willing to spend the time on certain things.

Digital Extremes seems like one of the most benevolent companies I've ever seen. Like, in general, not just in gaming. I have a hell of a lot of respect for them.
I bought a new copy of Ace Combat 7 on the day it released, took it home, installed it on my Xbone, and thought I had missed something because I didn’t see it downloading a patch.
So I uninstalled it, took my Xbone completely offline and did a clean reinstall. Started the game up, went back online, and it never once said it needed to download any sort of patch. It was weeks before it had to download any kind of patch.
Day one of release and a AAA game was just, finished, and on the disc. I felt like I had time traveled back to 2008 when games still did that.

#1 Have the game drop within the same year as they released the Official Trailer

It probably wouldn't work, the hype for a game and the anticipation/marketing time window would be too small to generate anything.
@@AiiHch Better than having it release 2+ years later
@@everardosalvador-martinez49 nah you are just an impatient lasagna
@@everardosalvador-martinez49 TLDR; I agree with you that a game shouldn't take 2 or 3+ years to release after the trailer goes live, I'm saying that the time frame in which the trailer goes live vs. the game actually releasing is very important and that shorter isn't necessarily better and developers need to take into consideration time frames.
Now that that's out of the way for a full explanation-
Yeah I agree, but again the time window is very important. Let's take Fallout 4 for example, Bethesda released their trailer for Fallout 4 in June of 2015 and it was released officially in November that same year. It did really well in sales, selling 1.2 million copies in 24 hours on Steam. We can both agree that that's a lot. Now look at Rockstars Red Dead Redemption 2, the trailer was released in October of 2016 and was released 2 years later in October 2018 and sold 17 million copies. The time window was greater then Fallout's and arguably Fallout (including all Fallout games + the fanbase) is bigger then RDR. I'm not taking into account that Fallout 4 wasn't the best game and that RDR2 is better, I'm just saying that Fallout had a shorter time frame to generate hype, market and finish/polish the game by their initial release date compared to RDR2. BUT that isn't to say that longer wait time is better, they both took very drastic directions and developers need to take into consideration said time-frame.
Wildcard whenever they do a free map, maps like Ragnarok, center, and now Valguero have become sponsored mods from this studio. They also have constantly released dinosaurs with each new map as well as doing different events almost every holiday and/or weekend. The only trouble I have with the studio is you can tell theyre holding back for their maps that need to be purchased which is whole heartedly understandable but a lot of the community doesn't appreciate it

Ubisoft doesnt have ANY good DLC system so far at this date.
I like when we didn't have any DLCs. When game is released, it's fully *finished* , any new ideas would go to the sequels.
Nowadays we're used to having a game being released unfinished, then have to sit through stupidly large day-one patches and pay for DLCs to get the "full experience" down the road. Some may argue that's the "extra experience" but no, that's just bullshit. All they did is save the resources of making a sequel but cash in more on an old title.
It's good that some developers decides to not charge on the DLCs, but how about release a game after it's finished?
What about the witcher 3? the game was fully finished and it was one of THE BEST stories ever in not just a videogame but also in most media.And the Dlc were Stories of their own that arent needed to experience everything but they were still amazing
I completely agree but a good game like the Witcher or persona will always leave a lot of fans like me thirsty for more. A lot of games now are unfinished messes. but finished games like those 2 I listed can keep getting milked for years and we would still love it.
That's the point of dlc, it's to add another content that doesn't impact you from enjoying the full game but it's a story of their own, nowadays the name "dlc" are misused by greedy company like EA and Activision to sell unfinished product that needs the "dlc" to experience the full gameplay
My biggedt problem with dlc, is most of the dlcs will become unuseable if you end up offline for any reason. And some games like Fable 3, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect will often corrupt your save files if you try to load up a save that you played with dlcs offline.

Ethan Dude if you still haven’t played the original battlefront 2 then you’re missing out. That game was the bomb! I’m pretty sure it goes for like 5 dollars on steam. I highly recommend it
@@twovoa2151 6 here boiii
What about Overwatch? It’s a bit older but, all of the characters they release are completely free, and so are all of the new maps they release. The only micro transactions are loot boxes that you don’t have to by to improve your game at all because you very easily get coins to get the skins that you want within the game. I think Blizzard has done an amazing job with this kind of stuff.
I'm playing The Witcher 3 right now for the first time in ages, it ages like a fine wine or cheese.
Oh yeah yeah
It’s from 2015. Not that old.
TOFU Elemental still it's amazing
I’m going through it again as well. Mainly because I was craving a good story based game and I’m in love with CDPR.
O yeah yeah

Hello, Wii would like to play.
*Nintendo bows*
What
YES DYING LIGHT! I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT FEATURE TO SOME FRIENDS!
I think a cool DLC model would be to throw a modding competition and let players choose the best mod so the DLC would be based on then the team could be recruited by the company to finish the DLC with companies resources.
Does anyone else remember that time when if you bought a game, that was it? It was done. No DLC, no updates, DONE. I miss those days 😌
when you get a game that turns out to be a bad you knew you wasted your since there were no updates
@@cyberium5020 - if the game turned out to be bad since day one, no amount of patches/updates will change my mind.
The game should be done well from the start.
Same man
Pepperidge farm remembers
I do remember... and I don't necessarily miss that model. The simplicity is awesome but... there have been some really cool game extensions in the form of DLCs that would never have happened unless they were DLC. Fallout: New Vegas comes to mind; so does The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim; and new cars added to racing games; etc.
There's a lot we've gained because paid DLC exists. It lets developers (especially smaller ones who don't sell millions of copies - i.e. most studios) spend more time on a project and make it better.
Nintendo is and always has been a open and caring company. never had any issues with ANY Nintendo product i have purchased. just compare Nintendo messed up systems reports with Microsoft, it shows what the company cares about its product, reliability of the product, and their fan base. my Nintendo ds light and NES are in perfect working condition and i've had both since release. rip the 4 Xbox 360s i went through with red rigs. :-:
I've found the Liverpool fan of the comments section. 😂
Except Nintendo is terrible with roms and fan games. Plus, they seem to have issues with stock a lot of the time.
ewe ewe seas
Nywildlife22 Yeah,I’ve never complained about a Nintendo game, and I literally grew up with a WII and all I ever played was Mario lol
And now warframe gave 250k into canadian mental healt hospital, a giveaway for 250k ticket to literally space, and a "orokin" custom gaming computer. All that just on tennocon 2019
Miss the old days without microtranaactions and dlc that cost more than the whole game
That last one about the cancer patient playing Smash Bros. Gearbox did the same thing with Borderlands 2 where they made a character name Michael Mamaril, who was made as a tribute to a Borderlands fan who died in life at age 22.
The fact that every update big or small for Sea of thieves is absolutely free and that they listen to their fanbase whether they're being positive or negative to improve the game the fact that they make it a fair game
They also support the community streamers by giving them highly sought-after items to give out which helps to her views and their growth, along with the fact that despite turn quarantine working from home they're still pushing out good updates with bug fixes quality of life and overall just good stuff
heres another one...
Mojang/Microsoft would let u get a free copy of Windows 10 edition minecraft that you could keep forever if you had Java Edition
The deal lasted for many many months but ended at the end of last year
but its still a very nice free thing they did :3
FREE
Yeah, but that was after they realised that Minecraft wasn't selling very well anymore. By the time Microsoft bought Minecraft, it was no longer "the game" to have. So, everyone who enjoys the game still plays it, but that's not making money. And everyone who had Minecraft because it was trendy wasn't playing it, and people stopped buying it.
Minecraft isn't dead, but the sales potential is.
So, what's the point in selling a game if no-one will buy it? The only way Minecraft can get sales is if it becomes trendy again. So, in a desperate act to get news articles about Minecraft, Microsoft gave copies of the game away. It did increase sales slightly, but Minecraft stopped being trendy before Microsoft bought it.
But isn't it just the same game again?

Another thing tripwire has been doing with rising storm 2 Vietnam is if you make a map and it becomes popular they add it to a pool and will add it to the Standard rotation of maps. Also they toy soldiers dlc was hella fun
I feel like most of that was extremely similar to each other
Take notes EA
Escape from tarkov tends to give out large amounts of in game money or give rare items to players if servers are down or backed up. They also send it with a letter of apology
I wish developers take years to perfect their games like rockstar
You're right they should honestly adopt a policy to make each game like it's your magnum opus.
I'm only heard good things from respawn I hope their next games aren't influenced by EA
Me too. Meeee toooo.
@@blub7274 Hyped 😆 for Titanfall 3
Their next game is That STAR WARS Jedi game set after Episode 3. And in case you didn't know since Titanfall 2 EA has actually bought the studio. So EA is going to have a bigger say in what the studio does now. Maybe They made it part of the contract that EA can't force them to do such and such. Let's hope... But the fact is EA owns them and that gives them less freedom as a company. There's no point in owning a studio you have no control over.
don't worry EA will consume and dismantle that dev team too
BioWare.
A similar experience is when they announced that battlefront 2 would have no paid dlc’s unfortunately that still had loot boxes but still free maps modes and characters were freaking awesome
Sold full games, rather than cut them into pieces as DLC. FREE additional DLC as the game stays alive and thrives.
Made online play with others free, since we already pay for the internet as-is.
Delet micro-transactions outright, NEVER balance gameplay ground to nudge people towards such a system...
Lots of shit.
Game company: Cuts game into peices as DLC and has the full version cost $130, shitty and bugged with generic lifeless and uncreative gameplay focusing almost only on story, removing mods and making said game feel like a shitty console game.
Game company: why isnt my game an Esports title?
The RS2 dlc only lets you be a rifleman tho 😭 gotta buy a support pack to get the other classes, granted anyone can fly.
The actual meaning of EA is micro transaction fest
How?
LOL found the fifatard.
I wish companies would take more time to flesh out & finish their games. Look at Larian Studios, they took their time & even delayed DOS:2 a bit to have everything voice-acted (which wasn't intended at first). Boom, they delivered the BEST RPG ever (my opinion ofcourse). Everything in that game was done with such passion, it made me tear up a few times through-out my first play-through. I just couldn't believe I was actually playing such a masterpiece. And get this, the only "dlc" is a singular extra companion for not even a dollar and a 15 dollar "dlc" which basically is an artbook, in-depth lore book, a map and soundtrack. Why? Because they made a finished game from the get-go.
I play crossout a lot and all of these free DLC packs got me jealous xD
I need to stop playing Pay2Win games.
I love when warframe gets recognized on channels that aren't dedicated to it. Especially for how underappreciated the game is and how how nice the devs are. Whenever there's a big update and people start playing again, the devs look for glitches, read community feedback and sometimes patch out those glitches within hours of knowing about it. Digital Extremes actually listens to the community, unlike some companies I know. *cough cough epic cough*
Personally one of my favorites is a game that either gets a remake or a next version that rewards previous version owners with either a free copy, transfers DLC, or a 75% or higher discount on the next version. Some do many of the above. A slightly less nice but also good, suscription based games that give you expansions rather than selling them to you.
Sea of Thieves. While an utter disappointment after a dozen or so hours at launch, it is free with Game Pass, there are NO microtransactions (yet. Later, will be cosmetic) every single update (new ship(s), weekly, monthly, seasonal, expansion) is absolutely free and always will be. PLUS, they have recoded (reduced "overlapping"/"unnecessary" code) the game to reduce the total size by, at least, half. It requires a full reinstall (Feb 6th) but gives you, basically, free additional storage on your console. I preordered this before it was announced it was going on GP, and I was PISSED when it came out and was a mere 30% of an actual game...but it is so freaking good ajd immersive now, it's crazy.
Nah Sea of Thieves is dirty. They are your typical AAA dev. Release a uncompleted game, fix and fill it in later
@@johnnyboy3476 while I agree, to a point, their plan was ALWAYS to have free updates, DLC etc. I will reiterate Rareware's absolute fail of a launch, but what they've done post-launch, at this point, is fantastic. AND if ya have GP, it's "free".
sea of thieves can't be said they are good for giving this stuff away. they launched a game with absolutely fuck all for content, and had the balls to charge for it. they had the choice of fix their game and add those things, or forever be labeled as a company to not buy games from.
I agree. Picked up sea of thieves about a month ago, and have barely been able to put it down. The game is immersive in a way, I haven't felt in a game in a very long time.
Honestly digital extremes is my favorite video game company because, they will never manage to mess anything up and if they do they’ve done so many great things that personally I’ll forgive them for whatever
who else paused the video to do the math before you realize it's done in the video lol
me
I did lmao
Jaja me also
For example: Bf4 had a rough start as well, but due to continues support from Dice and the community it turned into a great game with lots of free dlc added to it!
Ubisoft gives out games atleast 3 times a year, usualy AAA ones
U gotta give em some credit
Well, CD Project by:
- a stunning DLC policy where content is *actually* a superlarge *addition* and not cut content
- selling a complete game in any edition of Cyberpunk
- Handing out artwork and OST for free in Witcher 3 (and probably Cyberpunk?)
- Fixing remaining bugs ASAP in Witcher 3
- Putting NO DRM on any of their games
- Pushing out fantastically polished content Day 1 at any of their games so far
- making me shed a tear when they released the video to celebrate Witcher jubilee, because I was so heavily invested in the game and its fantastic storytelling. But only a small tear. Of course.
- ...and just (almost) everything else they do.
*What a company.* Yeah. Seems like I'm really a fanboy.
Campcom has always delivered free event quests for mh
Oh this is a bad time to see respawn say that
seeing the sick guy at the end get to play smash made me smile. its the small stuff
*WHERES IO INTERACTIVE*
TAKE ONE LOOK AT ALL THE UPDATES THEY DO TO HITMAN2
Johnny Hibner Still need to pay for Xbox gold to play a offline game on a disk. They scammed me. Bad idea
Noobmaster 420 what the frick frack snick snack why do y’all need to pay for multiplayer games
