4 Games That Were Saved By Post-Launch Support

Today, games can drastically change from their launch, onward. Here are four examples of games who were saved by their post-launch support.

Oh man, No Man's Sky. LOL

[Player3Podcast]

Yeah. No man's sky is definitely a "wait and see."

Actually NMS is amazing now, there is tons to do, large side quests and missions, the world generation is much better and the story is branching and much improved. Space and ground combat have been re-balanced especially in survival and they have added a variety of combat encounters. NMS is one of the best games out there at this point. I stopped playing it shortly after launch but I decided to come back for 1.3 it's great. I'm currently building up my base as I move towards the center while doing missions and as many side quests as I can find.

People who decided they were going to hate the game and talk it down forever will never be swayed but almost universally people who have given it a try are extremely pleased and having tons of fun. On Steam if you look at the recent reviews the game has attained a positive status which I would say attests to how good it's become.

Aren't 90% of the side quests simple fetch or kill quests? I got bored of them pretty quick, especially since you have to fly back to the space station every time you're done.

[HeyNowChillax]

Totally agree, we're on the same tour through the galaxy bud. Maybe I'll see you out there, now that we can.. sort of but it'll keep improving.

Serious question! How do you build up your base while still moving toward the center of the universe? Are you able to "fast travel" to your home planet? or does your base simply move planet to planet with you? How does this work?

[Ashlen]

You can teleport back to it from any starbase (then back to the starbase). So you can move towards the center while still having easy access.

And I haven't done this but I understand if you move your base to another planet the first base is removed but you are refunded all the parts. There is a reclaim machine in the base so i assume this is correct.

[MagicBeanz]

I admire your conviction.

st - No Man's Sky
nd - Destiny
rd - Dying Light
th - The Elder Scrolls Online’s

It's ok. Now, we need Street Fight 5 to be fixed.

[Confickercrash]

No Driveclub?

[Liqu1d]

Developer got shut down so the game didn't really get saved.

[AcidDvl]

30+ plus updates, bugs fixed, online fixed, tons of free content and improvements and one of the best and most rewarding season passes.

[Liqu1d]

I agree with all that but it wasn't enough to save Evolution from being shut down and the IP is effectively dead now.

[KickSpinFilter]

You can add Driveclub to that list except for developer and the Division

[Liqu1d]

No idea why Destiny is on the list since it was very successful from launch and didn't need to be saved. Pretty sure Dying Light didn't need to be saved either.

[LabRat]

I was wondering why dying light was on there too. Seems to be reaching for that one. Was excellent at launch and excellent still today.

[Donnie81]

No battlefield 4? That game was a train wreck at launch but after a few years worth of patches it was pretty solid.

[mogwaii]

Saved? Saved?! Its still a bore!

[philm87]

Dying Light shouldn't be on there. It was undoubtedly a brilliant game from the start, they just made it even better.
