You got to think about the CEOs they need more money to stay afloat haha

The only CEO that was good was Satoru Iwata imo

Ubi is pretty screwed. The CEO might get a decent payout when 10cent buys them out but the company is done.

The last triple A game I played was Cyberpunk, and while it had glitches at launch I did enjoy that. It ran fine on PC other than the occasional oddity like a cigarette floating down the street without a person smoking it. I just laughed at little things like that.

Oh, maybe D4, that was kinda crap. The same sort of simplification that other franchises have delt with. It mostly worked as intended, just the balance was not great and the game wasn't all that fun.

Ubisoft is utterly over. The trust they have lost in the community and their inability to deliver a game worthy of playing for even 15 minutes, is humurous. Crazy to think they made one of the absolute banger games in Farcry 2 and 3.

That open world Ubislop gets old real fast.

"We have a huge generic map with 3 types of encounters. Surely you'll play for 40 hours, right?"

Honestly so true. They just copy and paste the gameplay loop and put it in a different environment with a completely subpar story.

Man I was so unpopular when The Division came out. All my friends loved it and I was so critical on how Insanely Similar it was to Far Cry 4, from its UI to the actual gunplay. I saw the signs back then, Ubisoft had lost the ability to make original games, and they just went for easy products.

Live service too. I'm so sick of live services.

No, no I don't think that I'll pay full price for half a game, then keep paying you every month to finish it. Especially since it always comes with cancerous monetization. I liked Helldivers 2, but that had the same live service problems.

It can be extremely boring, and extremely exciting. The exploration and story are a lot of fun, and building the bases are so chill.

That is a perfect way to explain No Man Sky!

Hell Divers developers got sucked into believing they needed to 'balance' everything. They disliked that the game had 'metas' and it turned into a bit of a sweatfest to play. All of a sudden, your playstyle stopped mattering as much and it turned into a game where it made no difference what loadouts you chose cos everything was so god damn balanced. Nerfing the flamethrower genuinely put the nail in the coffin imo. The live service of games like this needs to stop.
Apex legends at season 2 was peak BR imo, and then they started balancing everything to the point where it was just eye rolling, and i have barely played it since.

Sometimes balance changes make sense. When only one strat works, just as an example. But if you're going to adjust that, you need to do some pretty deep changes sometimes. This is because a meta will often point to balance problems in something else. If rock is too strong, paper is the meta.

Always playing wack-a-meta is a losing proposition. There will always be a meta. If it's healthy, let it go.

I agree to some degree, but not every game needs to be an ultra competitive shooter. Especially Hell Divers which was at first, a very casual 3rd person shooter Co-op experience. It's not like people were gaining unfair advantages against other players.
I've used Halo as an example a lot tonight, but early halo games are the prime example of why balancing games isn't always necessary. Halo was a game where there was a very clear and obvious disparity between weapons and utilities. The power climb in games was unique, and almost always led to different experiences. You'd get crushed one game, and then the following game you'd probably end up crushing the other team. That was the beauty of it, it wasn't a competitive shooter but a fun party-element game set in an fps. It's another thing I think modern games have done so bad, is allowing players the ability to be crushed, or do the crushing. Like, remember in mw2 when literally every prestiged player ran akimbo 1887s? That was the shit, and there was a want and a need to progress your character down the tree to gain access to that. These days however, there's no incentive.

100%, I mean look what happened to CDPR as soon as they outgrew their little studio. Cyberpunk released as a mess because the investors wanted a quick pay day. That game had so much potential, especially after TW3. That game, still to this day, is the reason I will never pre-order anything again. Developers see it as an easy out when money is already laid down.

Wise course of action that I follow myself. It helps that I have a backlog the size of Elon's ego. I'm a bit tired of paying to be a beta tester for some big developer.
I sometimes make exceptions for Nintendo/Sony releases, but even that a rarity.

I agree and disagree. The good news is the company has taken the steps and done tons of work fixing the game. Yes it was overhyped and definitely not worth the money at the time, but I loved the story and had fun. Some companies see $$$ and do that, but the developers are the ones who will fix it. Look at the success of No Mans Sky, the developers have given out so much cool updates completely for free.

The problem with 2077 was that it was completely broken on consoles on launch (and far from bug free on PC) and lacking key features.
That paired with ther statements on previous gen consoles ruffled a few feathers and rightly so.
Hopefully they learned their lesson and apply it to Witcher 4.

You got to think about the CEOs they need more money to stay afloat haha

A CEO always lands on his feet. He'll find a way to jostle the numbers in order to get his bonuses, while the rank an file employees will pay for them.

The brilliant idea to postpone the release of Shadows near that of MHWilds could easily be the last nail on their coffin.

we talking broken games on launch?

eh could be worse there's 2 more levels down I could go
C: way oversimplified explanation is c++ is just a easier version of C to write
Assembly: Basically impossible although I do know some people code small projects in it
Binary: not possible by humans
