Delayed or Broken Games: Which is the Lesser Evil?

Delayed games seem to part of our everyday lives now, but should developers ship unfinished games and use the cloud to finish them, or should they delay them and give themselves more time?

I prefer delay to be honest. Sure, it can get frustrating. But it even more frustrating when the game is broken.

Delayed, easily. There are plenty of games out there, i can just play something else to pass the time, it doesn't really bother me if a game is delayed. Broken games are horrible though. With a broken game you are waiting for a huge patch that can take a long time to download and with a lot of games we don't even get a patch, some games stay broken forever.

delayed its the only one thats recoverable a broken game even once fixed still leaves a shit taste. a amazing game delayed a few times before release is still amazing on release even if you had to wait a little longer. what im getting sick of is these 2 week delays like it dose anything push it back 2 months finish the game and put some serious time into q&a. It is 2016 there is not excuses for releasing a game that dosent work outer then well we didnt care. i for one wish sony would start charging devs to release patches and xbox would go back to doing that so when the game is fucked at luanch it cost the publisher money and if they chose not to pay it for one reason or anouther then it will cost them fans. sure that will lead to devs not wanting to patch a game when the revenue or playerbase shrinks but i think devs publishers and even gamers need to be taught a lesson about broken games and why they suck balls. i have been playing games sense i could crawl there is nothing worse then starting a game knowing the devs spent 2+ years on it to be nothing more then a buggy broken mess

Why is this even a question? Who in their right mind WANTS to play a broken game? It seems to me that it's a dumb question and a no-brainer that no game should be released until it's finished. Every time a publisher snatches an unfinished game from a crunching dev, anger and stupidity ensues.
An announced release date is arbitrary and should be flexible. Is there ANY other product in the world you would expect a manufacturer to sell you by a certain date even if it's not finished? Is there any entertainment medium that benefits from a hurried tacked-on ending? Or worse, when ending is just cut off?
There is such a flood of games out there right now, anybody stamping their feet over a missed release date will be able to find something fun to do in the meantime.

Damn, I was hoping for an updated patch. Well let’s see if the rumors are still true, that it’s coming to Switch 2. There’s still hope……I hope

Everyone just hold up a minute! 🤔 This could still be possible. Perhaps this cast member was told to hush and draw attention away from a big reveal

It’s all a matter of preferences but I have to agree with you Judgement clears Yakuza ishin and man without a name smh so weird choices up there lol

Profchaos5h ago

Fantastic games but they are more spin off games imo and deserving of their own franchise

TheColbertinator9h ago

My favorite was 0 but Yakuza 5 had my two favorite locations Sapporo and Osaka.

Profchaos5h ago

Ill be honest i enjoyed infinite wealth but it absolutely does nkt deserve to be as high as it is on this list. Yes I liked the switch to Hawaii but the story was fairly weak until around three quarters in.

I don't want to spoil anything but the misdirection can be seen from space in this one.
