/v/ - Video Games

To play devil's advocate, at least they seem to be dealing with it all. I'd prefer a large patch than a smaller one that leaves glitches and bugs on the table.

That being said, I don't play Path of Exile, so I don't know if this actually fucked.

Cool refutation. An extensive changelog is fine. But extensive bugfixing? That tells me they didn't test their game adequately before releasing it, or new features.

ur dum

And THIS is why I never play games on release. I will wait 6 months to play the definitive version with all the patches and DLC.

Luckily I'm anti social and thus impervious to hype, peer pressure and marketing. No I don't play games so that I can talk about them with other gamers.

nice blog bro

The bug fix list in that things is very small considering the size of that patch, it's not even big if we consider the patch notes in all games. That's all balancing tweaks and changes to features. Wow how dare they put that much effort into improving the game.

/v/ contrarianism is getting to the point where a developer literally cannot do anything without it being a bad thing and worth complaining about.

In short: kill yourself and leave videogames, retard.

>>15823068 is not wrong, you know. Remember the times before Steam and shit? It was rare for a game to get more than a couple of patches after the release. The only example I can think of is Shadow of Chernobyl: there was, like, a new patch every month, if my memory serves me right. But it was already 2007, so it's not exactly "before Steam and shit". Games like GTA: San Andreas still amaze me: v1.0 is better than literally every other version of the game and the only bug in it I've ever randomly encountered was a disappearing weapon icon when aiming on the jetpack. It truly feels like nowadays developers just don't test their games because they have all the time in the world to patch them later.

I did clarify changelog isn't necessarily. If they're adding more cool stuff to a game post-release that's a good thing, and Diablo II did balance its bugginess out somewhat in that regard. But no, AAA is plagued with this issue because of how much more complex the games are, they don't even have time to put them together properly and just throw it out there then fix it in post. If they bother to fix it at all.

Also what game is that even.

Yes we all know developers release games broken nowadays. Thats because your average gamer doesn't give a flying fuck and will buy it anyway.

However developers actually do have professional pride and will fix the game for the 5% of us who do care. So everybody wins.
