"So with hardware perks set aside, what do the new consoles offer me? So, my thoughts turned to games…" - Jake Woolf (Gaming Like A Sir Columnist)
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
Source code for CD Projekt's action role-playing games The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 have allegedly been compromised.
Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.
But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.
But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.
I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.
And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.
Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅
This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.
They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.
After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
Cyberpunk 2077's launch resulted in a loss of goodwill with gamers, but there is a way to earn it back with the upcoming sequel.
They will need to add everything they promised in the first one and not over promise on the second one.
They also need to drop esg then hire employees that have knowledge not hire them because they have a set of tits.
Official video they hired people to fill the esg clipboard
As somebody who has been playing the tabletop games since the 90s and was let down on launch by my PS4 version, you can bet I'm not going the preorder any sequel.
3rd person option, and everything else that was originally promised. Next don't force agenda driven naratives. Finally, release a finished product without need for day one patches.
Nothing has really given me that next-gen tingle moment yet.
There were some parts of Assassin's Creed 3 that came close, but, really, the games that have really captured my interest lately haven't exactly been "next-gen..." quite the opposite, actually. Ghost Trick, Etrian Odyssey, Legend of Grimrock, Sleeping Dogs, Ys Origin, FTL Faster Than Light, Project Diva F, etc.
As someone who's been gaming since, forever, it's hard to get excited about the "next generation" when we're defining the term by hardware, not gameplay. The actual games we're playing have evolved very little. To me, the generations are better defined in terms of effect on gameplay. Like the transition from 2D to 3D. I still remember that. That revolutionized how we played games.
But now?
Games all play the same.
Hell, we've even lost variety. Just look at all the dead genres littering our past.

My GTX680 gives me next gen tingles
PS4 and Watch Dogs. Watch Dogs gives me the hope that it will actually feel like a living, breathing city. And hopefully developers (for example, Bioware's brilliant Mass Effect series) will finally be able to achieve a real sense of scale in games. I'd like to feel the power and awe when fighting a 7 foot 500 lb krogan. Instead we get a krogan who is the identical height of my commander Sheperd. Tali is the same height, as is Liara, as is everyone else in the game. This has to change next time around.
Killzone shadow fall I am extremely excited to see how the multiplayer portion of the game turns out. Will it look as good as the single player? Who knows, but what I do know is it will be the first game I buy for my ps4. I still play killzone 3 and I still enjoy the heck out of it. I've never been more excited about gaming. 2013 is going to be the best thing that happened to the gaming industry thanks the Sony and Microsoft.
The alive world in watch dogs. The beautiful scale, draw distance and scope of things in killzone sf and what capcoms deep down can be all scream next gen to me and get me excited.
