I'll wait until they patch in the fun. $25 Black Friday Special.

Stuff like this is weird to me, “explore the Outer Rim with smoother gameplay and better performance.” Shouldn’t this have been in from the get-go and not some inclusion as if it’s an after thought add-on? it’s kind of gross, honestly.

This is why I wait for many of these types of games to get 'complete' editions released as they will contain all of the DLC and patches up to that point. Almost all of my first playthroughs are vastly improved versions of when they were first released, and that's why I believe I enjoy the games more than many of the early adopters.

Not when the devs and qa have to rush through the beta stage. Projects of these size need 6 months in beta, but i doubt they got more than 2. I don't know why, maybe funding of project was running out, marketing has already been placed and paid wordlwide, who knows. While Ubisoft seems a poster child for these kinds of problems, they had games which weren't that messy out of the gate (Far Cry 5, Valhalla).

Some publishers are surely better than others. Nintendo, Sony, FromSoftware might have their black spots but are overall reliable to deliver open world games without the need to make substantial improvements via post release patches.

I played through Outlaws last week and really enjoyed it, but yes it was also really rough around the edges. While I don't like to see it to fail like it did, it is necessary for future Ubisoft open world games to not cut corners any more. But I will replay Outlaws once all dlcs and patches have been dropped for sure.

Six months of playtesting is not enough.

I met a Saint's Row developer who worked on part 1 for Xbox 360, and he said that they spent a full year in beta and QA stage.

Games are larger and more complex than ever before, and they require up to two years of QA, but publishers don't want to spent that much money, which is why games are releasing incomplete more and more with each passing generation. They're still only funding QA amount for games complexity from 15 years ago.

Its not uncommon in development for performance to be handled as an afterthought. Having a stable build that is less buggy comes before that.

how the hell are we at 1.2 already? the game just came out

[smolinsk]

Because the game needed it bad.

Crunch.

... We're not at 1.2 yet, that's just what they're calling the update.

If you RTA you'd see that.
