Fun fact, this video was supppsed to be one hour long, but because of deadlines and crunch culture it had to be released unfinished!
-
2000s --- Oh boy, I can't wait to get home and play it. 2010s --- Oh boy, I hope I can afford all the Expansions and DLCs. 2020+ --- Oh boy, I hope the Game is Finished..

"You see your fave game get delayed, you complain on reddit. I see a game delayed, I get bricked up." coldest lines i heard all year. Stellar video!

to all gamers, you deserve what you tolerate
-
I think it's hilarious how all these giant corporations like Netflix and Amazon think they can just buy their way into making a profit in the gaming industry. Without any passion or even interest in the medium.
-
I miss when games were made by people who wanted to play them, that's why indie games are so good nowadays.
-
Fun Fact: If you link Pokemon GO to Scarlet and Violet and send postcards to the game, there's a chance that your save data will just corrupt and be unrecoverable! Cloud saves don't even work too! Also I think it has a chance of happening if you preordered the DLC. Gamefreak and Nintendo haven't addressed it at all so far and remained silent. We're officially in the worst era of videogaming if that wasn't obvious enough.

The OW2 segment hits different now that the PvE has officially been cancelled LMAO
-
i find it funny that companies not only release unfinished games, but fans also defend these practices.
-
using elden ring as an examPlE iN the fIrSt minute was a bold move
-
Elden Ring deserves every bit of recognition. No microtransactions, no early access bullshit, and no abrasive hand holding where the game forces you into a cutscene for an hour with an additional 30 minutes of a tutorial. If anything deserved GOTY, its Elden Ring.

This is why I no longer preorder, buy games on release, or get whatever special/collectors/gold/platinum editions anymore. I quit doing it almost 7 years ago and will never make any exceptions. I'm hoping one day more people will wise up to it. It wouldn't take long to get their attention if we all hit them in their wallets.
-
YOU are the tester now. Saves them the smallest scrap of cash, while charging you full price still. I fear there's no going back from that one, at least for many big game studios. As long as they profit.
-
One thing to note about Forspoken: it immediately got one upped by Hi-Fi Rush, a game that had absolutely no marketing and did 10 times better than it.
-
The worst part about the Elden Ring clip is that all of those problems were fixed in the first 2 months. Scarlet and Violet still have these problems.
-
I think games have never been more complex and demanding, but studios try to keep the same development windows from 15 years ago and it's just not working out anymore, there are loads of recent triple-A games there were quite clearly not play tested
-
An incomplete GAME is like ordering a box of goods, only to get the box, with the promise that the goods will come,.....eventually. But you've got a very fine box to show your friends just how cool you are.
-
The thought process of “it’s okay if our ‘finished’ product has a few bugs, we can just push out many patches afterwards using the Internet” is what’s killing major games, and it’s so tiring to see big companies embracing method since it’s cheaper.
-
Game companies leaving it up to their playerbase to find bugs is kind of like a car manufacturer crash testing their vehicle with the end consumer as the dummy
-
This is why I just mostly play retro stuff currently (or indie stuff). There's so many great games I never played back in the day and it's always fun to find a hidden gem.
