It’s interesting to see how Cyberpunk 2077 is actually selling really well still. Looks like it worked out well for CDPR eventually.
Same question as No Man’s Sky, though. Sure, the game wasn’t good on release… but they stuck to it, fixed it, and now it’s better. So what matters more, that they screwed up initially or that they managed to patch it up over time?
Yea CDPR doesn’t really belong in this picture. They always put in a ton of time and effort on their releases to make right by the fans. The other guys, not so much…
People still preorder games in high volumes. It’s like when are they going to learn to just relax
There was so many people waiting for Cyberpunk that they were basically in a lose-lose situation. I think they reflected on that, given that they gave up making their own engine, mostly to eliminate time spending on fixing the engine
Which rockstar game had a bad release?
The GTA trilogy “definitive edition”. Complete disaster lol. I haven’t kept up to see if they’ve gotten better but it was really bad on release
They just took a crappy 3rd-party mobile remaster and made it runnable on PC.
Oh no. They gave the task of remastering 3 big games running on old ass software full of hacked together code, within like 2-3 years, to a tiny studio of like 20 people that only ever made mobile games before. It was set up to fail. It’s like asking your crackhead cousin to redo your bathroom and you come home to find he’s ripped out all the copper pipes for beer money.
At least they’ve seen to have learned their lesson. The much smaller task of doing a basic port for RDR1 for Playstation and Switch was given to an actually decent sized development studio (Double Eleven). Lot of people got mad it wasn’t a remaster or something, but it is a perfectly fine port and you get the full RDR1 experience on a Switch
Meanwhile like a dragon gaiden just dropped and its really fun go play it if you’re looking to play a fun, modern game that isn’t greedy bs
Yes, publisher bad. Dev team really, really good tho. There are some Yakuza games on GOG tho which are really good as well. Just not the newest ones at the moment. I think 0-6 is on GOG but idk
YUP! It was all in one package. I’ve been buying them all as SEGA pulls Denuvo, and then rebought the collection on GoG.
