      Honestly I the GTA remaster was OK, for me the worst was definitely the Bloodrayne remaster, at least the GTA remaster improved on the originals in some ways, the Bloodrayne remaster improved nothing and ran worse then the GTA trilogy did on launch, with pathetically low frame-rates, frequent crashing and the removal of cheats.

    About Nick All-Stars, Nick themselves is holding the game back. Stuff like alternate costumes came in very late just because Ludosity had to get the approval for each costume and Nick is super picky about it. Heck, the lead developer praised MultiVersus' reveal while throwing shade to Nick on his tweets.

    I kinda feel bad for Nick All Stars devs. From what I have read, they actually wanted to add more stuff to the game, as well as giving them unique dialogues, but couldn't because of restrictions given by Nickelodeon. Plus, they wanted to price the game at $20 but Gamemill decided to price it at $50 instead.
    I still hope the game manages to catch its footing soon. Power Rangers Battle for the Grid shows that making a major comeback is possible.

    • @otaking3582
      @otaking3582 2 роки тому +26

      The way they phrased it ("our hands were tied") makes it seem more like a budgetary issue. After all, most of Nickelodeon's cartoons use union VA's (kinda ironic when you consider their other business practices, but I digress), not to mention that characters such as Oblina and Nigel Thornberry would have to be recast (as Cristine Cavanaugh passed away in 2014 and Tim Curry's 2012 stroke has limited his vocal range). Obviously, that kind of expense for a shovelware Smash clone would be deemed unnecessary.

      It's pretty well known that the devs were dealt a bad hand with the Project, so "deflecting" the critiscisms to those aspects isn't completly absurd because judging by the post-launch support it's pretty clear they could've done better in different circunstances.

    They *just* (unofficially, mind you) announced that voice acting is coming to NASB, so you've got that to look forward to.
    The devs (especially the main one, Thaddeus) have been pretty open about how they *wanted* to do some of the things you had complaints with, but the game was rushed out the door and some of those requests Nickeoldeon straight up refused. They didn't let them use unique dialogue, get VA work, get unique costumes until now, etc.
    Honestly, it doesn't even seem to be fully GameMill's fault. The fault lies solely on Nickelodeon themselves. They still take some blame, but Nickelodeon definitely seems to be picky.

They are still updating the game, and next year they're adding cross-play and soft-confirmed that they're voice acting. But the damage is done and so few people care anymore, pretty much the only thing keeping the game alive is Hungrybox.

    what Nintendo and EVERY company needs to do is make a "its been a year since release" edition where all the bonus content that will be gone in 10 years time when they shut down servers is on a new disc/cartridge so that way the complete version of the game can still be played. the PS3 and VITA almost got their stores shut down and thats been avoided for now, but the WiiU and 3DS are next up on the chopping block with no backing down in sight. im sure there are a good few games on those consoles that dont have a "complete version" out there. some cases that come to mind are already taken care of with being ported to the Switch with all their content, but its very few...

    The most disappointing thing about the new Dark Alliance game is how it seems to have no desire to build on the legacy of the previous two games. Yeah, we all love Drizzt, but he was never central to the plot they were building with 1 and 2, so it feels weird to see him taking over now. It's almost as if they care more about the character's name recognition, than in making a fun game that progresses the story that came before.

    Seriously though, I dont understand the business model of "release a bad game and then update it in post." Like, cool, you get money immediately, but you also get bad reviews immediately. Everyone races to review a game when it comes out. No one races to review a game for patch 2.0231b. A bad game stays bad. I didn't even know all those updates happened for Mario Golf. I heard it was bad on release, and then I never sought out more information on it because why would I? "Oh maybe this game I had vague interest in is better now that 6 months have passed"? No.
    Like, there *has* to be numbers somewhere that shows how bad of a business model this is. It's money upfront in exchange for a bad relationship with your playerbase. Ew.

    • @goranisacson2502
      @goranisacson2502 2 роки тому +2

      VERY much depends on what kind of game company you are- a shovelware dev who just wants to squeeze something out can save money on final polish, squirt something out and get the sales they'd get for their fundamentally bad game no matter how much extra polish they'd have, keep a cheap skeleton crew on to drop some extra content, and then be done with it. And a company like Nintendo can rock this style because even if the reviews are bad they KNOW they'll sell well on brand alone AND they are the types who WILL keep these games around. They know their games will sell for YEARS, and so the games their future customers will buy will be the complete version and they won't get what all the early compöainers were all about.
      "But the servers-"
      My friend, this is NINTENDO- they will sell their "definitive editions" for the next consoles in perpetuity and for full price, and no one will be any wiser.
      Ironically, the people for whom this IS a bad business plan are thus companies who DO intend to make "full" games but can't afford the bad PR associated with a crummy launch, since those companies would be the ones who need it the most. Like.. the reason this is popular is because games get more and more expensive to make every year. If the product can be brought to the market during what was once the unprofitable "polish" phase and thus quickly recover the money that's spent on them, which by the time the game reaches "polish phase" is these days as expensive or even MORE expensive than when old games reached the "finished phase", then by God there is not a profit-minded businessman in the world rhat wouldn't take that opportunity. Ultrarich devs who can afford a delay do it to maximize profits and ignores the reputation hit because they know the only ones who care are a minority of the audience. Shovelware devs just continues to squeze out games quick as they can. But the devs who might have good intentions but really need money as fast as possible? They need this model the most. But if it goes wrong, they take the biggest hit from it.

However she didn't want to start the club because she wanted to help us organise or anything but she was "extremely uncomfortable this level of violence is happening in my classroom after school hours" and decided the only acceptable game for us to play in her club (as now to hang out in the comp lab after classes we had to be "participating in the club" or doing homework) was this nerf shooter which was a quake 3 arena total conversion mod. The game was really bizarre and so was she and I tottally forgot about all of this until now.
