Overworked and underpaid. It's like every single business in the world suddenly decided that they could simply employ fewer people, pay them less, and charge more for their products. I can only hope that it comes to bite them all in their collective asses sooner rather than later.
I didn't buy Starfield cause bathesda doesn't want my money or my fan love, since I'm a PlayStation user. All those years of loyalty and they fucked us PlayStation players. We are literally standing here with our money in hand but bathesda doesn't want it.
We the consumers allowed this. I used to pay $70 for a new game, complete and tested, finished. Now you're paying $80 for an unfinished lower tier, and the actual finished game is sold for $150 under a "deluxe edition" bullshit name. And even the deluxe will be filled with bugs and be basically unplayable for a year
Yeah full agreement on that. I think the price is comparatively reasonable though I definitely feel it a lot harder these days (partly inflation, partly being an adult with bills, partly due to indie games half the price blowing them out of the water on a regular basis). But there’s no excuse for it not being finished at release. I get that announcing a delay sucks, do it anyways. I’d rather a good game a year late than a game I was looking forward to being unplayable and asking why I spent what is in my area, the price of a decent dinner with drinks with my wife on a game that’s buggy as hell. Like seriously there were bugs in Skyrim 3 releases in.
The last brand new game I bought was Bomb Rush Cyberfunk for a grand total of $40 USD on release. It's a fantastic game, extremely fun, completely polished and 100% on release.
Absolutely. If you played and enjoyed Jet Set Radio or Jet Set Radio Future, this is both of those games mixed into one. An awesome, colorfully vibrant world and characters, an interesting story, and fun gameplay; I couldn't ask for more, personally.
