@itsnota2mer: Very few games actually "busted" some annoying with crashes and bugged side quests and such. But I could count on one hand games there were "busted"
Not counting online games but that almost always log in server problems the first few weeks not actual game issues.
But yeah "busted" definition depends on you. Because "busted" to me means unable to finish the game. Even Cyberpunk was not "busted" could still clear it just had to crash a dozen times or so first.
Well if gamepass has shown us anything. It is that day 1 release games straight to free pass like psplus or gamepass is a guarantee the game is garbage and the devs have 0 hopes for it.
@mogan: Most games better before patches. Recent history I can think of a few games that were far better at release. Remnant 2, Elden ring, ETC. Since most post release patches just nerfing items and stuff to make the game get a bit higher playtime on the reviews.
This measure we put on "gross profits" it misleading. We hitting records all over the place lately NOT because movies are good or even decent. But because of a really high spike in inflation.
Measure these as actual people in the seats they not even close to hitting any records.
They do this double with games. Because 20+ years ago big games that came out beat modern ones by MILES if you look at the percent of the market share in the gaming industry they got.
Like when games like EQ hit 300k and broke records for online gamers in a game. Today 300k seems like nothing> Then 300k was HUGE Since there was so few online gamers in the 90s and early 2000s.
If they could put half the adult content and references in that the Boys does it might be interesting. We all know they cant though. As violent and obscene as people call games they are nowhere close to what they say.
They are all PG really in comparison to movies and tv because of the entire stigma of games being for kids. And you try to do otherwise you will have every "karen" on the planet complaining about it even though they have no idea about the subject they are complaining about. Like they do with everything else. It is sad but it is always the most ignorant doing the most complaining.
Game is modeled bad. First of all Ultimate items and descendants not very ultimate at all. In fact weapons\reactors actually a downgrade since it requires you WIELD them not just equip like a purple. 2nd off everything about them is negative they typically less base dps than the purple counterpart for weapon. AND you have to make the weapon level 4 to get rid of all the negative effects. All that work for what basically amounts to half the dps of a decent Tamer with some garbage unique ability.
Everything on the store is basically just paying to do everything the game has to do. You buy all your descendants then what? IS basically nothing to do except farm up new weapons which in reality does not take long if you not distracted. And your catalysts just an annoying farm you got to do.
Farmed up to mastery 21 without the paywall. But if you want to go further you will at least buy descendant slots or be erasing a whole lot of them already deleted blaze and gley(Farmed Ult gley).
