lazy developers have no excuses

kevnb4061d ago

Go develop something yourself then. Calling the folks who make your past time possible lazy is retarded. You have no idea how much work goes into even the games you think are shit...

Ezz20134061d ago (Edited 4061d ago )

they are lazy and don't try to spin it plz

3rd party dev's on consoles untill the end of this gen still can't reach the gfx of sony 1st/2nd party games

EDIT : yes they are lazy
when they give ps3 lazy ports from xbox360 and do not work on the ps3 form the ground
and them have the balls to come out and say the max the ps3

i can call them lazy like crytek, bethesda etc the list go on

kevnb4061d ago

so they must be lazy? wow take all my bubbles, the ignorance is overwhelming.

buddymagoo4061d ago

MasterCornholio4061d ago (Edited 4061d ago )

Lazy developers exist. Deal with it.

I love the backseat developers on this site. Devs for years have been saying that the PS3 was hard to develop for. This was said from day one.

Kevnb, there's no point in trying to explain exactly why devs (3rd parties) has such problems with the PS3.

DragonKnight4061d ago

There was a member of this site who claimed to be a student of game development who posted something along the lines of "developers program in the easiest language and then simply transfer the syntax on other platforms."

So yeah, developers be lazy. All you have to do is look at the lazy programming of Bethesda to see that, that and the games that have annual releases are definitely a product of lazy developers.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4061d ago

Sorry, but I know how hard it is to create a game. An incredible amount of work goes into it. Even for small cellphone games. I'd hardly call someone lazy just because the quality of their game is low. They may be untalented, but the fact that they made a game that went to market and passed QA is proof that they are anything but lazy.

Eyeco4061d ago

So how much work goes into polished, bug free games that we consider great ? There are tons of examples for this.

M-M4061d ago

@kevnb You have to realize, developers do this for a living. If you've made it to the point where you're developing for consoles, developing games should be a cake walk, which means that there should be no reason to be lazy. I see where you're coming from though.

well, there is bethesda... but i imagine everyone else will do just fine with the PS4 architecture.

MysticStrummer4061d ago

Bethesda will achieve their dream of having the same bugs on all platforms.

BlmThug4061d ago

Sony are literally doing every single thing right :D

Leonex4061d ago

Lazy developers..agree...oh the Cell processor is to much work...

Everything Sony did is good for this gen gaming. I love that Nintendo is doing their own thing as well.

We will get specific experiences on each console and all will have their own great games.

I've never owned Sony but I may buy a PS4. It looks great.

Great to hear, the ease of the PS4 will allow developers to absolutely blitz the console in terms of unlocking its potential.

They gave the developers exactly what they wanted so there are no gripes against it. They can't say the PS4 is hard to develop for if this is the architecture they wanted.So everyone wins.Sony gets their support and developers don't have to work as hard to adapt to it and we get awesome games and no third party excuses

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno1h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak50m ago(Edited 41m ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
