Game development isn’t linear, projects get discarded in early development all the time. The development team starts small and balloons as the game gets closer to release; diablo 4 for example spent 10 years in development, 8 years is nothing special.
Normally a company struggling with console sales
You’re assuming microsoft still cares about selling consoles… at this point either they gave up on this generation, or they moved on altogether.
This isn’t massive flaws that suddenly appeared overnight, or the straw that broke the camel’s back, it’s purely because they want to get back at the developer. So yes, I think “review bombing” is accurate.
Don’t get me wrong, i dislike enshittification as much as the next guy; but I don’t think a game’s review should be about what the devs posted on twitter yesterday.
It’s just unfortunate that this is the only avenue for players to make their disagreement felt. Game reviews should focus on the game as a whole and not one single aspect, the more these happen the less steam reviews become reliable to gauge the game’s quality.
This would only serve to advertise their ips, just look at Overwatch. If you really want to fuck with a corporation, the best way is to forget about them.
The system seems already implemented, even if not yet deployed. Anyhow you’re giving last epoch way too much credit here, deterministic crafting is nothing new.
You don’t implement systems like these in a few days, it’s probably been in the works for months.
Plenty of old live service games see active development like world of warcraft. I’ll remind you that you don’t know me, so please keep your projections to yourself if you want to keep arguing.
GGG has left poe to rot for the past 5 years while they’ve been creating a game for a new audience and misleading their current players in their intentions. They certainly won’t be commended by me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OosC1E8TVM&t=1s This was 4.5 years ago, before the scope creep. The expected turnaround was less than 1 year. The project is more than 5 years in the works, and will probably reach 6-7 years before it’s done.
PoE2 has been postponed for 5 years. It’s the classic example of feature creep.
Will it be amazing when it comes out? Maybe.
You know what would have been amazing, having all those new animations and models for the past 5 years. It could have been an iterative work, nobody asked them to do it all in one go.
If only it could stick to its release dates too.
Gotta distinguish popularity from ratings.
Diablo 4 is maybe a mediocre game, but it sold truckloads.
Diablo 4 got 40% off within a few months I find AAA games are increasingly starting with a high price point to capitalize on the hype and advertising campaign, and once that peters out they quickly reduce the price.
That 10% is only there so that you can participate and feel involved; awards are mostly money schemes and industry people patting each other on the back.
