People who buy day one are literally just beta testers. Waiting a month or longer is perfectly fine for me with a few exceptions. The game that truly taught me that lesson was Fallout 76 and I can't believe Bethesda got away with the bullshit they pulled with that game especially fallout first.
Slay the Spire for indie and any of the Fromsoft games after Demon Souls are the best games I ever played. Gun to head forced to narrow it down to only one Elden Ring.
I lean more towards sandbox because all those numbers you have to manage can get old but occasionally one does break the mold and have good character model/animations. Event driven sandbox is way less work.
It didn't ruin it but it has more so just become its own niche. I see a creative prompt every now and then but its mostly not my tastes. I value ai as a tool to help speed up certain aspects of development. Like if you train an AI off your work it could then do coloring and shading for you. Or a...
It felt like a question you'd ask at 3 am on a Saturday when you were with your friends and the convo is slowing. So I had no strong opinion either way really just value quality over quantity.

I don't really care as long as its not exclusively lesbian. Very few game devs animate those scenes well so its mostly a waste. Also like to make female MCs big skanks.
Understand the appeal but I despise gatcha. Purely exploitative with little upside. I'd rather pay sixty up front than be psychologically manipulated into being milked for hundreds.
Yeah but I guess I was thinking more about games. Also I'm more of a comic man and most of them are one off pinups as well. But yeah beggars cant be choosers
Hard disagree loved the ending.
*edit:
Gonna soften my take haven't played it ages was one of my first games and left a big impact and remember it being quality. Was originally salty when I was forced to make a decision but ultimately respected the game.
