The new update for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum one of the lowest rated games of the year includes bug fixes and progression crashes.
Great! Now I can more reliably realize how shit it is!
Would be amazing to see it get the No Man’s Sky treatment
I refuse to even touch No Man’s Sky. I’m sure the game is fine at this point, but I refuse to support a company that thought they could get away with what they attempted to do. Just like KSP2 - sure, they labeled it “Early Access” but they charged full game prices for that thing back in February. It’s been half a year later, and there has been literal zero movement on their release roadmap.
What’s KSP?
NMS was developed by a very small studio. Even though they fucked up, they kept on developing the game instead of just ditching it. Everything they add to the game is free and they delivered on most if not all of their promises.
Cyberpunk on the other hand…
Even if you fix Gollum, all you’re gonna get is a generic 3rd person action-adventure game. We got this game about a hundred times in the Xbox/PS2 era.
No Man’s Sky was worth salvaging because it did something mechanically different. Gollum is like if you took one of those PS2 Harry Potter games, dropped it into UE4, and changed which licensed property the game uses.
They should really just move on. This game is a failure, and there’s no way to save it.
Doesn’t sound like there is a company left to “move on”, and providing patches whist they find some kind of investment to do something new or fold is a good thing.
Unless you would prefer they just sit on their hands .
One disadvantage to digital distribution is that companies can’t bury every copy of a game in the desert if it’s really bad.
Yeah only strip away your license to play the game, but y’know the files are still there! So… Yay digital.
Great! That’ll be awesome for the two people that bought it
