I'm Tired Of Unfinished Games And Video Game Updates

- I'm really tired of unfinished video games that launch in a constant need of repair. I want to be able to buy a game and know what I'm getting and be able to enjoy that same experience later on. So many games launch now with incomplete content, very glitched and buggy gameplay and a lack of cohesive vision on what they want to be, only to discover their identity later. I'm really tired of this trend and it's actively making gaming less enjoyable. #gaming #videogames

Facts. This is extremely frustrating for me. I’m a single player guy with inconsistent internet and I hate having to constantly update a game because it was broken at release or unfinished. Most modern games are derivative and by the numbers, so it makes it even more sad when they come out undercooked.
Not only that but even if the game is polished there's still constant fucking updates for them and everytime I try to play I can't because I gotta wait on downloads
And sometimes its not even that. Its the that devs wanna be cute and add some new feature NO ONE asked for. Just leave your fucking game alone and move on to your next project.
Modern gaming is kinda killing gaming at this point. Many of the new common practices these companies have are absolutely demolishing the fun in games. Games are released broken on launch and you need to wait 10 billion years for the game to be playable. Everything is online now (for the most part because there are a very select few game developers that don’t just make the whole game online and value the single player experience). I feel that most games follow some sort of trend now and feel a lot less inspired. Most games that come out now feel as if it’s just a copy of another game. It’s almost become a trend to copy other games at this point for the amount of big games we get that are the exact same thing as some other game. It’s really sad where gaming sits right now and it’s even sadder that it will most likely stay like this for a while.
I hate the people that defend this trend more then the publishers that push out the broken games. How many times has battlefield for example, released broken and unplayable yet the retards who complain about it are the same ones saying "this has me hyped" everytime the next one is announced and telling people who say "let's see how it turns out first" toxic and telling them to stop complaining.
The gaming community is full of retards since it went mainstream and its killing the hobby
Paradox is a perfect example. They make games and release them purposely as unfinished, then release "free updates" with DLCs. To get a full-feature Paradox game you have to pay 150-250$. It's such a joke. They guilt trip people into buying DLCs that should be base game, by also releasing these "free updates", aka. updates that offer things that should have been in the game on release.
That's why I am now saying No! To all this garbage.* 🗑️
I thought this was a very common opinion. I’m pretty sick of having to wait a year to maybe a year and a half just for a game to go on sale or for it to be playable. And it’s really annoying when games make updates to make purposefully difficult enemies into jokes for little reason other than the player base having a lack of proper build knowledge or encountering those difficult enemies too early
I miss the Era where games would release in an actually finished state.
I miss those days too. And if the game was bad it was bad bit at least it was complete
That was the norm when game consoles were not capable of connecting to the internet.
That was before all the normies got into gaming. Back when it was a nerds hobby, devs and publishers knew the audience and made games for them. Now it's gone mainstream all of these companies see it as a business and the games as something like Apple products, push out the exact same shit year after year and all the retard drones will line up for it and accept it even if it has issues that need to be fixed. They'll say things like "im never buying this product again" but 12 months later they're lining up for that exact same product yet again.
and now devs try to be cute and update their game for new features no one asked for. I wish people could opt out of updates and give a middle finger to these devs. I'm grateful they gave me a fun game to play for 300 hours but fucck off and move on to your next project.
Yep living in rural Australia has made playing games nowadays impossible having to wait a week just to download 30 gigabytes to then be hit with a 60 gig update just makes it impossible
One thing thats always bugged me with the constant "Release it now, patch it later" mentality, especially in regards to the physical copies, is how years down the line if you wanted to play them and you go to install the game, usually requiring updates, if the servers are long gone then that renders the copy you have useless! Game perservation and making sure the game is even playable years later is never considered by alot of companies :(
What is one example you have of that actually happening? No offense I've just never had that happen.
@@CarsonsChannel We're just now getting to the point where it could happen. Wii and DS infrastructure shut down. Still some access to repurchases but that's it. Wii U shutdown announcement, PS3 was going to but retain update stuff but didn't yet, original XBox did shut down. Any DLC available only through that for its games (there was some believe it or not) is now gone unless bundled in games re-released. For a while, Star Wars KOTOR had a whole DLC expansion planet/outpost you couldn't get anymore. Years down the line they decided to bring it back when they fixed the game up for Series X. For years, you couldn't play the Halo 2 online component anymore through official means after the Xbox shut down, same with all other multiplayers on it. That has now been brought back to help the Xbox reputation, but other games like Conker that component is still dead. Really depends on what we are talking about.
Actually on that front, Silent Hill 2 on the PS2 released physically in America and ran well, but had some issues. There was later a Greatest Hits version printed that included a DLC and updated the game to fix those issues, but that version of the game is available only second hand now for a lot of money compared to an average game price. The people who bought the first disc and still have it have a worse version of the game by the admission of Konami and there wasn't even a good way to get a fix, which sort of advocated for and against the digital update era. I'm not trying to be facetious but there are examples of this sort of preservation stuff being an issue already. PSP is another defunct example where you have to now jump through hoops if you want the stuff that came with your games. It's possible but has become more difficult in recent years and eventually won't be worth keeping around for Sony.
I forget what Marvel game it was, but when I finally went to play it, I couldn't even do single player because they shut down the servers.
There's a Tony Hawks game that was released on the PS4/Xbox One before the remakes of 1 and 2 came out that requires a HUGE patch after you insert the disc, it turns out that that patch is literally the rest of the game. So when the servers go down years later, that will render that disc completely useless. Yes its far into the future but its absurd how they can't even have the entire game just on the disc.
@@GinraiPrime666 but you can play tony hawk pro skater 5 offline so no updates needed
I'm at a point in my life where I'm busy with college, girlfriend, hundreds of games in my collection and a ton of movies to watch... I can wait to buy a new game to release when it's below $30 for me. I don't have the time to play many games i want to play for $60
The only games in 2022 i really want to play at launch is Lego Star Wars and maybe Gotham Knights if it's good
Everything else like Call of Duty, I quit after Modern Warfare, and EA proves that they don't learn their lessons to make good Battlefield games.
So it makes it easy to skip out and buy old games for
let that be a lesson for you never trust gaming corporations they don't care about you, all they care about is lining up there own pockets you like playing video games without the feeling that your being screwed by disgusting video game developers I can give you a list of games look up Deus Ex
Yeah we are responsible people who do not play that much games and we always win because we buy it later for cheaper and fully patched.
I'm in this mind set now. I'm an engineer pretty early into my career and I'm doing a diploma, life is sort of taking off for me and I have limited time for hobbies. So the fact that every game I buy is fucking broken and unfinished or having a big 50 to 100gb update everytime I sit down to play is just so frustrating. Especially with the cost of games going up, I'm in Australia so games are $130 a pop now. It's just not worth it for these broken piece of shit games.
It’s about time someone stands up to companies making incomplete games
A perfect example is Battlefront 2005 vs 2017. The 2005 launched with all content (more than 2017 even post updates) and even included some minor free online content if you had Xbox Live. Battlefront 2017 launch with almost no content and tons of pay to win microtransactions and only removed them because they were facing legal trouble and possiblities of banning in multiple countries. Only after years of updates did the game have half the content of the original and the game is still shit.
Much less they fucked over the Star Wars community for the new Battlefield. And guess what, Battlefield fans get fucked over because of the shitty launch and quality of the game. So Star Wars fans and Battlefield fans have to hold an L because of EA's greed.
I don’t play games online, just single-player. Single-player games will be the same experience whether u play it now or years later. I am now playing Witcher 3 and Mass Effect LE for the first time, BEAUTIFUL finished games. And because I never played them, they are new games to me. I even have a controversial one, Mass Effect Andromeda. Now I’ll be honest, it is NOT as good as the original trilogy. BUT, I picked it up a couple years after launch after all the bug-eyes and crazy glitches were patched out, and I must say the game was not bad at all. Especially given I only paid $8.99 for a sealed Deluxe edition.
My point, there is no rush on playing single-player games. Let it come out and wait for all DLC, all patches and even better, the price to drop. U will not be disappointed.
Look at a game like Cyberpunk. Released completely unfinished, is going to need updates to barely fix the base game. Should be like 130 GB at the moment
Then when years from now they finish the final game update and dlc, it will probably reach more than 200 GB
Where it could have launched finished and complete and take like 90 GB
Cyberpunk as of Patch 1.5 has been reduced (on PS4 at least) from around 100 GB to 59, game still has a long way to go before it is acceptable on last gen though.
If CD Project RED will get the benifit of the doubt in the future and ean edemption for that shitshow like Hello Games managed they have along way to go
I agree with everything you just said. Why can’t the devs just polish the game and fix the worst bugs before releasing it (cough cough Projekt CD Red).
Spider-Man PS4 is the first game that comes to mind when I think of a game with the least patches. I think it just had like one or two patches. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a game like Arkham Knight. Which is a fantastic game, but the PC port was unforgivably HORRIBLE! Lags and bugs to hell and back. Glad they fixed it, but Jesus Christ, PLEASE check your game for bugs before even thinking of releasing it
Don’t take my word for it but I’m pretty sure arkham knight didn’t even have a quality assurance test for the pc port like at all
Ghost recon breakpoint is like this too. You get people defending it saying "oh it's good now", yea 3 years later it's actually good. Should have been what it is now at launch but it wasn't
No other industry releases such a generally shoddy product (in terms of technical reliability) and also berates their customers for complaining about it. Can you imagine what the Car Industry would be like if it did the same thing?
Oh damn! I just realized that Nintendo are the only ones to release finish games with quality 😮😳😳
That is amazing that they release finished quality games
And insomniac
It makes me sad when games don’t have peanut butter in them either. That’s a telltale sign of them being unfinished. I mean who could forget the peanut butter?!
I'm dead 🤣😂
@@merkingsavage6045 And I’m hungry 🤤
Dont be a shill... Get a life
I never buy fighting games at launch. They sell you 2/3 of the game at launch and then the scheduled DLC characters later in a year. So I wait till next year and buy the complete edition on sale (less than $45) and I save a ton of money not waiting for dlc characters to arrive and spending $70-100)
this is frustrating especially if you don't have alot of money to spen and only then to have baught something that is unplayable and have to wait upwards of a year before you can actually enjoy the game, also that companies don't care about adjusting prices according to your country because only europe and america are important and don't care about others
From the late Total Biscuit, "We do not pre-order." I think if we all stopped pre-ordering these unfinished games, it'd largely fix the problem.
I am 100 percent with you. I'm an older gamer, and I'm just now playing many of the older games that most people have forgotten about. Partly, bc there were years I didn't play at all, and I'm playing catch-up, and partly for the very reasons, you state here.
8:38 Ha! That scion had you shook! 🤣😂
Its frustrating because you want to support developers when they make a good product but too many games are a gamble so i just wait for a sale
I bought a game new. It was $60. Two weeks later I went to the store, and the game was $30.
@@staretimecomics yup happens all the time games do so bad that it drops in price fast
@@stevenkennedy6870 I bought new Kingdom Hearts 3 for $20 last year. Couldn't believe it. Too used to $60FOREVER nintendo games. The good nintendo games hold their value pretty well. I get a lot of those used.
@@staretimecomics PS5 is doing that Nintendo philosophy now their games havent dropped below $45 yet
@@stevenkennedy6870 Found out why Guardians of the Galaxy price went down. Square Enix is selling that studio. Guess they want to get $$$ while the getting's good. They did that with all their FF games on switch this week, and a lot of their other titles. 70% off digital. You know they're going from like 11 studios down to 4? They've had some bad sales lately. Trying to pick up the mess it looks like.
Everyone keeps buying broken unfinished game and microtransactions that cost more than the base game price making them macrotransactions. it can't be stopped because sheeple are sheeple.
This videos a year old but I decided to come back to it because of Marvels Spider-Man 2. Its SO DUMB to release a unfinished game. And it only really affects physical media owners because our full games are on the discs, so if they decide to give us a shit game on disc for a release, we are stuck with it. Now of course we can update the game but what if thats taken away in the future? Its so dumb.
I’m going to be honest with I’m sick of seeing companies do this shit like whatever happened to companies just making a fun game we could play to the end
Money.. there's just too much of It flowing In the Industry and too easy to ride the gravy train with copy-paste generic half-finished games , with most of the money thrown at graphics and online service modes ( and cheesy mocapped cut-scenes tyring to come off mature and realistic In the most generic life-like way which some of us play to escape from). Most modern games are strict predictable playing , barely Interactive , politically correct , graphics showcases , more than they are actual videogames with fun unique gameplay systems , surprising stories , and liberated creativity. This happens to every young thriving art-form and Industry and It NEVER goes back. It'll always be this way now.. golden age sailed with the end of 6th gen.
@@fawkkyutuu8851
Okay well, "politically correct" is a bit questionable and I pray you havent fallen victim to the red-pill propaganda, but everything else you said basically stands and I agree with you wholesale. Honestly, greed has damned the industry, and it may never return, corrupted to the core of it's soul by these pigs who cant just make SOME MONEY with a GOOD SOLID HARD-WORKED PRODUCT anymore. Well, they can, they were never UNable to make a profit with a complete game, but these greedy slugs choose not to.
The more I watch you. The more I respect you dude, great stuff
I love this video so much I can't squeeze it enough LOL it's a shame that with the advancements in gaming Comes The Lazy practice of not finishing a game before launch
13:27 Wow, Assassins Creed hasn’t changed much in 16 years…
YES! Exactly! Im so sick of the constant updates. I buy a game, an actual DISK game, that Ive played for years and it worked fine, and now they want me to update it and ask for 35 GB's! And these updates take forever! Over an hour usually. I dont have time to sit around and wait for games to update. Like you, said I don't even want the update most the time, it worked fine before.
They need to stop this, its ridiculous, and make it how it used to be- PLUG AND PLAY!!!
Where you dont need excessive updates and internet connection just to play a game you already flippin have!
Im seriously so close to throwing my xbox into the street and running it over with my truck back and forth a bunch of times.
I have much better stuff to do IN THE REAL WORLD anyways!
This is going to be the end of video games if they continue this road.
100% agree with you, there’s always that nagging feeling I get that my experience with the game might be better if I wait. But also you forgot to mention how updates disrupt the whole modding community. Skyrim for example had a small bug fix update out of the blue for the first time in years and broke so many good mods that are no longer supported.
Helps that I like story games with very few patches and minor updates for bug fixes and texture issues! I also like buying games physically rather than online. I don’t know what it is, but I always enjoy loading my disc games or playing movies on my PS4 over streaming services! Just how I like to roll. Now i’m thinking I should’ve been born a few years earlier since I don’t feel that I fit in this new digital era!
it’s so many update’s I don’t even play anymore call of duty and battlefield
I agree wholeheartedly like I couldn't resist to get elden ring right now but I know theres a 90 percent chance there's going to be dlc that I could have just waited till a bundle came out. In general I just dont like this feeling of buying an incomplete product, sometimes released in a terrible state and then being expected to pay full price.
The fact that you don’t have it yet is a very good thing if you enjoy the difficulty of fromsoft games considering they majorly nerfed a boss recently, who might I add is a boss in which around 10 summons can be present and repeatedly summoned after death
@@oglungbusta3587 radahn yes I've seen him lol and they also nerfed the sword of night and flame which is bs considering how the game is nearly unplayable for some on pc and that's what they've prioritized.
@@tcdtboc8551 i disagree with that the sword of knight and flame was to OP it needed to be nerfed.
@@ragingguts or rather, other weapons which are useless now like the sword of night and flame should’ve been buffed to be useable instead of a useable weapon being made into a fucking wall ornament
@@ragingguts they prioritized a weapon over entire players who were repeatedly losing progress due to data corruptions and to be honest if they want to get their nerf guns out let's be real elden ring is broken in alot more ways than that. Mimic, magic, ice stomps, bleed etc this felt personal as if they just felt it was too good. Which is I stated they're is a lot of broken stuff in the game I dont think they should just start nerfing it because some people want to use something strong. Do we honestly want to go back to only a few things being viable like in ds3?
I'm very tired of it too. I basically don't buy games anymore within the first few months and this is one of the main reasons.
Stuff like this is why I've been gravitating towards B-list RPGs and action adventure games. Those usually aren't going to be super successful, so the developers seem to have more of a chance to actually finish it, since they know they won't be able to pull a "let's just patch it and throw some DLC at it to recoup the losses" that AAA games do sometimes. It's weird that I might be trusting licensed games more these days, since there's a possibility that the game is solid because the execs knew it would print money thanks to its IP and actually let the developers do their jobs.
Im starting to wonder if maybe trying to push a new law involving protecting gamer rights and quality assurance in game development might be necessary to prevent these kinds of practices these bigger companies pull.
It's pointless though because the vast majority of the gaming community accepts these broken games and defends them. Look at how many people defended cyberpunk. Normies getting into gaming is what ruined it. They're the ones defending this shit
@@likeandsharedeeznutsbruh2845 I think you may be right there.
Same man, its either unfinished or monetized with microtranactions or both
So long as people are willing to pay full price for knowingly faulty products because of FOMO, this problem will always exist. 🤷🏾♂️
for years i’ve been waiting for game of the year editions knowing they’ll included everything and more
So quick question, are you still going to play those transformers games? If not would you play Bioshock 2. If not I wanna tell you that "Alfred, Alfred scan that batcomputer" joke from origins
Absolutely with you on the Final Fantasy XV thing. I bought the Day One Edition and was extremely disappointed. I had to buy the season pass and the Ardyn story expansion to get some sort of a “Full” game.
This also frustrates me it honestly makes me not want to continue playing video games and I’m not exaggerating when I say this it reallly is so annoying to play a video game that takes a couple years to several multiple years to make a game and it ends up being garbage with horrible technical issues and buggy as crap I’m not a fan of this practice with gaming developers:/ it’s not a good healthy practice
Im 100% with u jay, around 80% of the games i buy are ones that have been out for years and i get them at huge discounts. I hope for the day companies take their quality more seriously
I do agree with this with certain games out there definitely mostly live service games but it is what it is with gaming right now
My wife despises the new coke flavors. 😂
I wanted to like them :/ I suppose someone out there does haha
The problem is us. Not wanting better and accepting this bullshit from game companies. I find a lot of gamers act like spoiled brats and demand their games instead of waiting patiently. Just look at the Pokémon community. People even begged Nintendo to have Animal Crossing days earlier before it's launch. The audience doesn't care anymore, at this point it's an addiction they need to fill then they complain later, after the honeymoon phase when it's not good.
Honestly, the Starlight Soda from Coca Cola is nasty lol. I mean, if you like it, hey, props to you lol. I hate it. But, honestly, a game that comes to mind for this is Cyberpunk 2077. Game launched buggy as shit and now the game is playable. I didn't play that at launch but did play the launch version if that makes sense. Like, when I got the game about a couple months ago I think, idk, I was having issues with internet on my PS4 so, I couldn't do the updates and I played the launch version. I almost stopped playing the game and then I figured out the issue, fixed it with the internet and then did the update and omg.
I refuse to delve into console gaming beyond the 8th generation. I value physical media and buying new broken games at launch is a horrible gamble that the consumer always loses.
this is why I wait months or years before I by games for them being on sale.
Agree about waiting until new games go on sale fully patched with the exception of 2 or 3 companies if that.
I paid for a 1-year subscription on my PlayStation but I wanted to have a few games of fortnite on my phone with my controller and since their new update my controller is not working properly
I so feel this.
Yep I actively spend a third of the money I used to on gaming and I buy things on sale later because if these companies don't care about their game why should I?
Can we get best Arkham feet?
One thing that I don't like with single player games being updated is stuff like speedrun strats being removed. Like, elden ring just recently patched the game and it fixed arcane scaling weapons. Very nice. They also made it impossible to do a boss skip that literally doesn't effect anyone aside from the people who want to do it.
Extremely tired of the ON-GOING BETAS that have elaborate subscription/season prices. I'm paying for this i say to myself. Miss the days of buying thoroughly developed games on disc. Now devs and publishers are lazy and rush into pay models MOSTLY BECAUSE PEOPLE STILL PAY REGARDLESS. We are our worst enemies. Back to the real simulation of human incarnation. Peace animals.
Consoles used to be different, with physical games having a real value.
Now the games pressed on the disc are beta versions at best and won't be playable as soon as the servers go down.
What flavor is starlight?
Dude I'm with u 100000x8%
I agree. It’s confusing to me why are games that are half way made then put out to the customers. As well as the patches and updates for them. Seems more and more like quantity over quality and micro transactions for long enough now sadly. I didn’t think about digital medias being pushed out more as the norm but it is now that I’ve looked into it personally.
I dont mind games getting updates, though it depends on what that update is for... skill, trait, weapon, npc or whatever is not working as its supposed to? then hell yes I want that fixed.
If a game is in need of what basically amounts to a total conversion mod to just run or needs 70% of its mechanics tempoarily removed just to run right then yes it should not have been released at all in that state.
Also Arbitrarily removing things tends to bug me as well it depends on what gets removed any why
A movie getting updates sounds so draconian, yet, it has happened, like star wars
Misuse is more like abuse... we need an option to refuse updates and patches if it'll ruin our game
It's ridiculous now with just how many games are coming out completely broken or missing integral features, cough* battlefield 2042 cough*
I at least have to give it to Fromsoft, despite the nerfing, they released a game that almost has too much content. I was awe struck when I found the Eternal City area, it was something you'd expect to be released in a paid DLC. It puts Skyrim to shame.
why do i never have a notification sent to me
I feel that when games ,or anything that is inherently creative in nature, are developed and released based on quarterly financial needs, the art is inevitably going to suffer. I was lucky to be around at the beginning when gaming was gaining steam (think Sega Genesis, Doom, and Dune 2) and this corporatization of the gaming industry with Games as a Service is absolute cancer. The suits need to just cut the checks and trust that the passionate creatives will take care of the rest.
Your spot on about mario kart. They punish you for being good
I know this is an old video now but with the release of redfall on Xbox and the Lord of the rings gollum I'm never buying new games again lmao
I’m just tired of finished games getting more and more new content, gradually replacing everything that made the original game so special in the first place.
atari made reflections shove driv3r out despite being unfinished, the great irony is that the release state of that game has become typical, if it came out today, it would have been completed through patches and DLC and would have turned out to be a decent game afterwards
even baldurs gate 3 a game i know that won't have dlc i'm gonna wait afew months before buying as crpgs in general have very buggy launches.
Updates should be an accessory, not a necessity
I feel same way with unfinished games and updates on games Degenerate Jay
As a PC player who was out of the gaming loop for several years I have mostly been buying games when they're on sale or the past 5 years. After the underwhelming reviews of Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk 2077 (I still don't own either), I'm very wary of buying anything at launch. Maybe the trend had started before those titles, but as most games these days are either bought online or can be patched online, it seems gaming companies have taken that as a green light to release broken games and fix them later.
A lot of games come out on console first, and only make to to PC a year or more later if at all (Red Dead Redemption a year or more after console, Ghosts of Tsushima still not yet on PC), so with those I feel the bugs have been ironed out before PC release and I'd be happy to buy for full price on PC release.
I have enough games in my library to never buy a new game at full price unless it really appeals to me now, so I bookmark stuff and wait for it to go on sale.
Is it even legal to sell unfinished or broken products?! Who controls them? Who can protect us? Wasted money we could buy two houses
I kinda gotta agree
Retrogaming its at its peak rn
You and me both, man. You and me both.
I wish that the EU would regulate on this, banning day-one patches, as it's a malpractice of selling an unfinished game at full price.
Facts, I should have never gotten cyberberpunk coz I’ve only played 4hrs of it when it was released. Waste of money
Elden ring has so many updates since its launch even god of war ragnarock, arkram knight, why does this keep happening developer's need to finish their games before launching it. These updates are not small either most of them are 1gp, 1.5gp its ridiculous. Also the games are not cheap anymore 60 to 70 $ for an unfinished game which makes it really hard to trust or pre orders or even buying it day one is really tough.
I only play the classics. Still in the ps2 era.
games in 2023 the updates make them completely un playable as a person that works 40+ hours its annoying idk how many games ive stopped playing because of random 20gb updates that change nothing…but little kids can play them with moms credit card thats all that matters
Yes, I never buy games on day 1. Pre-order is rather a fraud or scam which I learned hard way after I bought Diablo 3 which became better after 3 years or so.
I just buy games like 1 year later after all DLCs came out and selling in bundles. I wouldn't deny that I'm waiting on Steam sales, too, but point you made on this video is mostly what my mindset is about.
I bought Elder Scrolls Online when it came out and it didn't work for 1 year...that was the beginning. Cyberpunk took 1 year to work. I bought F1 22 and NHL 23 this year and they had weeks of updates before the game was playable. I'm about to go back to Nintendo so sick of this BS!
We can thank the people that pre order and buy games without caring about these issues and constantly making excuses like "they will patch it" its consumers that ruined game quality
This is honestly all too true, and with your Elden Ring example. I too am a night and flame user, and I'll be honest, while I am sad at the nerf. I'll continue to use it because it still a good weapon overall and healthy for the game as a whole. After all I was DESTROYING bosses with it the moment I found out about the weapon. It was absolutely too strong of a weapon imo and it absolutely deserved a nerf. For the PVP side of things I thought it was fairly balanced tbh, it's windup made it very dodgeable and clearly telegraphs to dodge it. So if you didn't decide to dodge it that's on you and deserved to be one shotted. But again, I completely understand that as a whole, no one deserves to be one shotted. Except for grab attack spells, those always had issues in soul games from what I heard
Yeah it's a good rule of thumb to wait a few months after a big AAA game comes out before you purchase it.
I got done with the game industry. I'm just enjoying 90s-2010s games. Games died after the 2010s. Unfinished cash grabs. Yeah we got Halo Infinite, Guardians of the Galaxy, Wonderlands and Cyberpunk 2077 is good now. I'm just tired of the nonsense where they sell it and fix it later mentality. I don't regret walking away. Games from yesteryear are so much better anyways.
Me too
i love assassin's creed black flag and i have been starting playing the old games too like old cod i dont like new cod because of all the updates
Publishers be like “its a games as a service”
Skywalker saga...
One that really made me a bit mad was rdr2….r* literally just slapped shit together halfway through while creating a great game but couldn’t push through. Like there’s still so many clipping issues and bugs. The flipping epilogue character is not even what he’s supposed to be. All the beta stuff scrapped, there’s connected side missions to a certain thing but it’s cut and the mystery can’t be solved so wtf. They literally just said fuck this where’s my money and game award. Then through the constant “patches” they downgrade the game and say here’s a free camera mode. Im sorry but this game had way more potential.
Remember the whole "godammnit Arthur, put some warmer clothes on!" thing a while back? RDR2 is a pretty solid game overall in my opinion (I havent really noticed much clipping or other bugs tbh, not enough to get me mad atleast), but that thing got old fast. Im still suprised R* fixed it.
@@duckseverywhere7087 they didn’t even fix it really, they just removed the code so that it never occurs when it’s supposed to
@@360eradaryl7 Well, Im just glad its gone tbh. Its not like they removed a major game-mechanic.
Not to mention how dirty us onlineplayers were done .
I’m a very very basic game player. I get all the consoles and typically find one game a year I want to play just story/campaign mode. But if you don’t have internet you can’t play it!!! What’s the point.
Support Nintendo they are still one of the only companies that make cartridges that you can play without internet. Just pop it in and play!!!!
BRUH THE THUMBNAILS SAID💀: 🖕
I also hate story dlc that comes out a month after the game *cough cough* Spider-Man ps4
at least the devs of cyberpunk and no mans sky actually got rid of most of the bugs but appreantly its still the same on console
Cyberpunk is still not the game they promised or advertised to people.
@@devondre79 yeah but hopefully phantom liberty will give us the game that they promised
@@goldyshadow it won't
Atlas ark diablo I'm sick of this as well atlas is completely broken and after you have 2 hours in they won't even refund games very frustrating
My tin foil hat conspiracy theory is that the reason modern gaming is pushing such a hard drive towards online play and not single player is because almost all multiplayer games are quick and attention deficient. How many multiplayer games have story modes or allow for you to explore or any of that sort? Almost none, CoD for example is just a quick burst of dopamine where you shoot people, do an objective, and win or lose. Then repeat. Same with mortal kombat, or racing games, or party style mini-game games, and the list goes on. They want you addicted to the game you are currently playing by giving you quick dopamine burst the same as what TikTok does. Secondly; its alot easier to develop a game where the player does the same thing over and over then an entire game with a story and open world. With all the assets that activision reuses i bet 90% of the budget goes into making those single player modes that are super short and probably cost way less to make then other games at the $60 price tag.
So its easy to make and its very addictive. Of course they want that instead of good games.
