ik it's just a generic video but i'm rooting for the launch to go well. not to mention everything they've been through. imagine your dev team losing members to a war. love the stalker series so much. amazing mod community too.
I'm more excited about this video than I was about Veilguard. His current take on the game is: "It's a miracle that it managed to get to the quality level that it did". That tells you everything you need to know.
Now physical disc is just a collection thing, the game must be installed and upgraded properly before playing. So there are not necessary to manufacturing really finished product - some include pre-release version or only base build with idea for downloading additional files on installation process (ex multiplayer or some localization excluded from disc). If there are bundle like a collection of games - even full game cat be stripped and installed only as upgrade to game and disc contains not all games in collection.
It seems to be an accepted practice to release games unfinished. My guess is this practice is because they run out of money and the early sales pay for finishing it. In this case what does Gone Gold designate? But if this practice is not your perspective, why do you think games are being released, obviously, broken. The answer might be worthy of a video.
I think there are a number of factors like financial pressure, pressure from the publisher\ investors to release on a specific date, but also maybe there is a bit of complacency that comes with the ability to fix broken games with patches where previously this was simply not an option and if your game was broken, it probably wouldn't sell well, because you can't patch it. Just my theory.
Mark, have you seen the secret post credits scene in Veilguard? I guess DA has a future? Love that its behind 3 hidden objects. Also Ive been playing 55 hrs and and just got to Weisshaupt. Really enjoying the game other than the writing and tone. You cant really disagree with anyone or your companions in conversation. And the "rude" options are just nice. Wish I could talk to companions directly in the Lighthouse or out in the world. Ive seen that there is alot of choice and consequence near the end and I've only made one big choice so far regarding Minrathous or Treviso. Maybe big decisions could be spread out more. Anyway, man, I'm just hoping these critiques are being seen at Bioware. I really do enjoy the game or I wouldnt have played 55hrs and I am going to finish it. My first DA game so im VERY confused but the combat looked great and I'm really enjoying the convos and memories with Solas even though I'm mostly lost theres enough to intrigue me. If you took the time to read this novel, thank you. Love what you're doing on the channel. Its important to educate the common gamer on the industry. Appreciate you.
People comparing this unfavorably to veil guard, as if making games safely was a problem, makes my head spin in 4 dimensionals rotors That said i think veil guard aesthetics is onto something it can't fully realize due to being an hybridation from a series that has roots in grim dark fantasy, going full cosy romantasy in a new IP might unlock an untapped market. This had been brewing since the 90s despite being botched by meddling, such as not reporting sales of nancy drew, which died due to a lack of competition helping pushing quality, and simular race to the bottom happening in casual, social and mobile, despite high quality work in other media, such as Disney princesses' movie going bank with quality and reaping rewards in large audience. So when infinity nikki is boasting record pre order of 30M shocking everyone, I'm just shrugging. It's like that one random nintendo ads ''commute'' which racked 500M view in a single hours, on the Nintendo america channel, for just a mundane video, baffling anyone who don't know why some people would cry at such a simple video.
@@MarkDarrah is this some kind of experiment? you probably know that veilguard is discussed controversy because of several things (gameplaywise and other stuff, it is already on the DEIdetected list), if you change the titel and exclude veilgard from the titel and replace it with stalker, the video will probably get better feedback that it deserves.

Well spotted
I’ve been waiting for this moment for years, STALKER 1 still has one of the best atmospheres in a virtual world ever IMO.
Soon. Very soon in fact
Off topic question. Will you make a Memories and Lessons video on Veilguard?
Eventually
@MarkDarrah nice!

That tells you everything you need to know.
@@miqquest that the game is good?
@@Knight1029 I think it means: They destroyed everything he worked for, but at least it came out with technical quality.

Console discs are still KIND OF real. PC aren't at all

The ability to patch is part of it.
20 year ago you basically could NOT patch.
Also complexity is way up which leads to more bugs

These 2 games cannot rationally be compared
Double post?
No this is a generic one I’m going to try out when something ELSE goes gold

Non one cares
Why?
