I'm Tired Of Unfinished Games And Video Game Updates

  • I'm really tired of unfinished video games that launch in a constant need of repair. I want to be able to buy a game and know what I'm getting and be able to enjoy that same experience later on. So many games launch now with incomplete content, very glitched and buggy gameplay and a lack of cohesive vision on what they want to be, only to discover their identity later. I'm really tired of this trend and it's actively making gaming less enjoyable. #gaming #videogames

    Facts. This is extremely frustrating for me. I’m a single player guy with inconsistent internet and I hate having to constantly update a game because it was broken at release or unfinished. Most modern games are derivative and by the numbers, so it makes it even more sad when they come out undercooked.

    Modern gaming is kinda killing gaming at this point. Many of the new common practices these companies have are absolutely demolishing the fun in games. Games are released broken on launch and you need to wait 10 billion years for the game to be playable. Everything is online now (for the most part because there are a very select few game developers that don’t just make the whole game online and value the single player experience). I feel that most games follow some sort of trend now and feel a lot less inspired. Most games that come out now feel as if it’s just a copy of another game. It’s almost become a trend to copy other games at this point for the amount of big games we get that are the exact same thing as some other game. It’s really sad where gaming sits right now and it’s even sadder that it will most likely stay like this for a while.

      I hate the people that defend this trend more then the publishers that push out the broken games. How many times has battlefield for example, released broken and unplayable yet the retards who complain about it are the same ones saying "this has me hyped" everytime the next one is announced and telling people who say "let's see how it turns out first" toxic and telling them to stop complaining.
      The gaming community is full of retards since it went mainstream and its killing the hobby

      Paradox is a perfect example. They make games and release them purposely as unfinished, then release "free updates" with DLCs. To get a full-feature Paradox game you have to pay 150-250$. It's such a joke. They guilt trip people into buying DLCs that should be base game, by also releasing these "free updates", aka. updates that offer things that should have been in the game on release.

    I thought this was a very common opinion. I’m pretty sick of having to wait a year to maybe a year and a half just for a game to go on sale or for it to be playable. And it’s really annoying when games make updates to make purposefully difficult enemies into jokes for little reason other than the player base having a lack of proper build knowledge or encountering those difficult enemies too early

  • @GinraiPrime666
    @GinraiPrime666 2 роки тому +58

    One thing thats always bugged me with the constant "Release it now, patch it later" mentality, especially in regards to the physical copies, is how years down the line if you wanted to play them and you go to install the game, usually requiring updates, if the servers are long gone then that renders the copy you have useless! Game perservation and making sure the game is even playable years later is never considered by alot of companies :(

      @@CarsonsChannel We're just now getting to the point where it could happen. Wii and DS infrastructure shut down. Still some access to repurchases but that's it. Wii U shutdown announcement, PS3 was going to but retain update stuff but didn't yet, original XBox did shut down. Any DLC available only through that for its games (there was some believe it or not) is now gone unless bundled in games re-released. For a while, Star Wars KOTOR had a whole DLC expansion planet/outpost you couldn't get anymore. Years down the line they decided to bring it back when they fixed the game up for Series X. For years, you couldn't play the Halo 2 online component anymore through official means after the Xbox shut down, same with all other multiplayers on it. That has now been brought back to help the Xbox reputation, but other games like Conker that component is still dead. Really depends on what we are talking about.
      Actually on that front, Silent Hill 2 on the PS2 released physically in America and ran well, but had some issues. There was later a Greatest Hits version printed that included a DLC and updated the game to fix those issues, but that version of the game is available only second hand now for a lot of money compared to an average game price. The people who bought the first disc and still have it have a worse version of the game by the admission of Konami and there wasn't even a good way to get a fix, which sort of advocated for and against the digital update era. I'm not trying to be facetious but there are examples of this sort of preservation stuff being an issue already. PSP is another defunct example where you have to now jump through hoops if you want the stuff that came with your games. It's possible but has become more difficult in recent years and eventually won't be worth keeping around for Sony.

      There's a Tony Hawks game that was released on the PS4/Xbox One before the remakes of 1 and 2 came out that requires a HUGE patch after you insert the disc, it turns out that that patch is literally the rest of the game. So when the servers go down years later, that will render that disc completely useless. Yes its far into the future but its absurd how they can't even have the entire game just on the disc.

    A perfect example is Battlefront 2005 vs 2017. The 2005 launched with all content (more than 2017 even post updates) and even included some minor free online content if you had Xbox Live. Battlefront 2017 launch with almost no content and tons of pay to win microtransactions and only removed them because they were facing legal trouble and possiblities of banning in multiple countries. Only after years of updates did the game have half the content of the original and the game is still shit.

    I don’t play games online, just single-player. Single-player games will be the same experience whether u play it now or years later. I am now playing Witcher 3 and Mass Effect LE for the first time, BEAUTIFUL finished games. And because I never played them, they are new games to me. I even have a controversial one, Mass Effect Andromeda. Now I’ll be honest, it is NOT as good as the original trilogy. BUT, I picked it up a couple years after launch after all the bug-eyes and crazy glitches were patched out, and I must say the game was not bad at all. Especially given I only paid $8.99 for a sealed Deluxe edition.
    My point, there is no rush on playing single-player games. Let it come out and wait for all DLC, all patches and even better, the price to drop. U will not be disappointed.

    I agree with everything you just said. Why can’t the devs just polish the game and fix the worst bugs before releasing it (cough cough Projekt CD Red).
    Spider-Man PS4 is the first game that comes to mind when I think of a game with the least patches. I think it just had like one or two patches. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a game like Arkham Knight. Which is a fantastic game, but the PC port was unforgivably HORRIBLE! Lags and bugs to hell and back. Glad they fixed it, but Jesus Christ, PLEASE check your game for bugs before even thinking of releasing it

    Stuff like this is why I've been gravitating towards B-list RPGs and action adventure games. Those usually aren't going to be super successful, so the developers seem to have more of a chance to actually finish it, since they know they won't be able to pull a "let's just patch it and throw some DLC at it to recoup the losses" that AAA games do sometimes. It's weird that I might be trusting licensed games more these days, since there's a possibility that the game is solid because the execs knew it would print money thanks to its IP and actually let the developers do their jobs.

    Helps that I like story games with very few patches and minor updates for bug fixes and texture issues! I also like buying games physically rather than online. I don’t know what it is, but I always enjoy loading my disc games or playing movies on my PS4 over streaming services! Just how I like to roll. Now i’m thinking I should’ve been born a few years earlier since I don’t feel that I fit in this new digital era!

    One thing that I don't like with single player games being updated is stuff like speedrun strats being removed. Like, elden ring just recently patched the game and it fixed arcane scaling weapons. Very nice. They also made it impossible to do a boss skip that literally doesn't effect anyone aside from the people who want to do it.

    I feel that when games ,or anything that is inherently creative in nature, are developed and released based on quarterly financial needs, the art is inevitably going to suffer. I was lucky to be around at the beginning when gaming was gaining steam (think Sega Genesis, Doom, and Dune 2) and this corporatization of the gaming industry with Games as a Service is absolute cancer. The suits need to just cut the checks and trust that the passionate creatives will take care of the rest.

Game launched buggy as shit and now the game is playable. I didn't play that at launch but did play the launch version if that makes sense. Like, when I got the game about a couple months ago I think, idk, I was having issues with internet on my PS4 so, I couldn't do the updates and I played the launch version. I almost stopped playing the game and then I figured out the issue, fixed it with the internet and then did the update and omg.

  • @ziploc2000
    @ziploc2000 2 роки тому

    As a PC player who was out of the gaming loop for several years I have mostly been buying games when they're on sale or the past 5 years. After the underwhelming reviews of Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk 2077 (I still don't own either), I'm very wary of buying anything at launch. Maybe the trend had started before those titles, but as most games these days are either bought online or can be patched online, it seems gaming companies have taken that as a green light to release broken games and fix them later.
    A lot of games come out on console first, and only make to to PC a year or more later if at all (Red Dead Redemption a year or more after console, Ghosts of Tsushima still not yet on PC), so with those I feel the bugs have been ironed out before PC release and I'd be happy to buy for full price on PC release.
    I have enough games in my library to never buy a new game at full price unless it really appeals to me now, so I bookmark stuff and wait for it to go on sale.

  • @markavelli720
    @markavelli720 2 роки тому

    I agree. It’s confusing to me why are games that are half way made then put out to the customers. As well as the patches and updates for them. Seems more and more like quantity over quality and micro transactions for long enough now sadly. I didn’t think about digital medias being pushed out more as the norm but it is now that I’ve looked into it personally.

I don't regret walking away. Games from yesteryear are so much better anyways.

    If a game is in need of what basically amounts to a total conversion mod to just run or needs 70% of its mechanics tempoarily removed just to run right then yes it should not have been released at all in that state.
    Also Arbitrarily removing things tends to bug me as well it depends on what gets removed any why

These updates are not small either most of them are 1gp, 1.5gp its ridiculous.

    This is honestly all too true, and with your Elden Ring example. I too am a night and flame user, and I'll be honest, while I am sad at the nerf. I'll continue to use it because it still a good weapon overall and healthy for the game as a whole. After all I was DESTROYING bosses with it the moment I found out about the weapon. It was absolutely too strong of a weapon imo and it absolutely deserved a nerf. For the PVP side of things I thought it was fairly balanced tbh, it's windup made it very dodgeable and clearly telegraphs to dodge it. So if you didn't decide to dodge it that's on you and deserved to be one shotted. But again, I completely understand that as a whole, no one deserves to be one shotted. Except for grab attack spells, those always had issues in soul games from what I heard

EA, Ubisoft, Activision, need to have pressure applied to them in order for them to change and the best way to do that is to stop paying for their games the reason CDPR finally got off there asses and fixed Cyberpunk is because they were being sued for millions and people want refunds for there games can you imagine what would happen if we all stopped buying FIFA whatever the fuck
