STN:
Ok, so you've bought a game, you take it home and it's more error ridden than you could possibly have expected. You hear that there's a day one patch, but since you are in the minority which can't connect to the Internet, you're stuck with an inferior product, are you happy about this? Of course not. You wouldn't pay for a leaking bottle of coke, would you?
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
if you're not connected to the internet, how did you find out about the patch?
Really nice piece. I completely agree about how they are generally a bad idea as it means that game development is no longer a finished process. It's also detrimental to the game when you're handed a review copy and it's before release and the patch so you're essentially reviewing a broken game. You have the knowledge that a day one patch should fix these issues, but a finished game shouldn't ship unfinished.
Any one got input lag on ps3 or just me?
Developers need to start finishing their games or the consumers need to be able to start getting refunds for opened games.On PS3 I had a Mass Effect 2 bug wipe my mass effect saves and then corupt my whole hard drive (which was supposed to be fixed in a patch but wasn't, Skyrim was an awful mess and still is (DLC issues), Borderlands 2 glitched my B.A Rank and pretty much ruined the game for me and so many other awful bugs that DON'T get fixed in day one patches. Even the systems don't work or or have their own internal problems that aren't fixed with patches, like the 360 which wiped my hard drive after signing up for Live 8 months after I got the console. I've stopped buying new releases b/c of these things (Nintendo being the exception b/c of the reasons in the article but even that might change) and I know there are many people who feel the same way. In the end, these patches and the low quality testing done before a game or consoles release hurts the gaming industry by forcing consumers to wait 6 months to a years before buying anything just to make sure it works
