Destiny 2, bungie, activistion.
Battlefront 2, Dice, EA.
2 huge franchises absolutely torn to shreds by the developers and the publishers. Whatever reasons they come up with why their products stink so much it doesn't matter, not to the fan base.
It shows what happens when production takes precedence over passion. When quantity takes place of quality.
Throw out as little as possible in as short a time as possible and make them all pay for it to be fixed (in dlcs).
Just make them pay.
Horizon zero dawn, Guerrilla games, Sony.
The witcher series, Cd project red, Atari.
They show what happens when passion takes the place of production. When quality is better than quantity.
HZD had a somewhat short campaign but such depth and superb combat that it didn't even matter.
If I have to explain anything about how good the witcher 3 was then you don't know games.
Destiny 2 tried to take a short cut, were hammered by schedules and an aggressive, greedy publisher and utterly failed.
We need more like GG and CDPR. No more Publisher a$$ kissers.
Show them with your wallet. Show them even more on the forums. Don't buy into this crap. EA (kinda) heard it. Maybe bungivision will too.
You want a better analogy, you get a better analogy!
D2, BF2 and the like:

Want more, pay more.
HZD and witcher and their equivalents:

And their expansions...

44 RespuestasThen why did I not make it one hour into Witcher III and I play Destiny 2 every day? It must be because I "don't know games"? Oh, it's because people like different things than you. You obviously don't love Destiny. Time to find another game and stop shitting on people who don't think exactly the way you do.

29 RespuestasTweet from Witcher 3 developers regarding their new game: "Worry not. When thinking Cyberpunk 2077, think nothing less than The Witcher 3--huge single-player, open world, story-driven RPG," "No hidden catch, you get what you pay for--no bullsh**; just honest gaming like with Wild Hunt. We leave greed to others."

1 RespuestaBig pubs are killing the gaming industry and the uninformed/self absorbed consumers are the murder weapon. Dramatic sounding yeah still true and the fact that battlefront 2 will sell well is the proof D2 is also evidence of that...
-
2 RespuestasDon't be fooled by EA's decision. I'd put the house on it that the only reason they back flipped on the microtransactions was because the IP owner (Disney) saw the bad press (not far out from the next movie launch), and played hardball to get the MT's removed so it didn't affect ticket sales. Be sure of two things. [b]1:[/b] EA didn't do this out of "we care about fan opinions"... They weren't voted worst company in America in 2016 for no reason. [b]2:[/b] MT's have simply been delayed. Wait until the bulk of ticket sales have passed for the next film. You'll see.

At least battlefront is fun to play xD
-
This was a interesting read from the developers PoV in where their mentality is at with regards to monetization in games: http://www.pcgamer.com/the-case-for-and-against-loot-boxes-according-to-developers/
-
No it doesn’t, EA with battlefront does, rockstar with GTA 5 online does. Pay to -blam!-ing win destiny 2 is just a regular game with standard micro transactions if you want to find out what’s “wrong” with the gaming industry look at games like gta 5 and most if not all EA games
-
Good post and I'm glad that even here it's getting a lot of up-votes. I played the Beta for Destiny 2 but never purchased it because of what a disappointment Destiny 1 was and because Destiny 2 played their micro-transactions and loot boxes more heavy handedly. Micro-transactions do not belong in a paid game.
-
4 RespuestasThere is no other game like Destiny, so your comparisons are all useless.
-
2 RespuestasUnfortunately the combat system in Witcher left a lot to be desired and is what held the game back from greatness.
-
25 RespuestasI'll take Destiny 2 or Battlefront 2 over HZD or the Witcher series any day.
-
2 RespuestasUm, so the expansions are boobs?
-
I will definitely only choose to support games that come complete with expansions that are just more like additions to what the game already is, like with Bloodborne. There are other examples of course. I'm gonna have to play Witcher 3 now tho...but I'll get so lost in that kind of game (as in no sleep for days).
-
2 RespuestasI think it's pretty offensive to even categorize Witcher 3 with Horizon zero dawn.
-
1 RespuestaI disagree with you about HZD being compared to the witcher 3 ... HZD was over hyped imo at least ... so much nonsense in it .
-
Editado por wilco490: 11/20/2017 7:12:13 AMThe witcher 3 with dlc's is one of the most extended, and coolest games i have ever played. Including different endings on main story lines. The quality was unprecedented.. sex and violence and an awesome story in one game. Loved it. It surprised me when i played it. D1 was the same when it launched (for me at least) D2 is a joke compared to these games
-
1 RespuestaI should really consider buying the witcher 3.
-
2 RespuestasEA didn't hear shit. Yes, they lowered the prices, but they also reduced the amount of in-game credits you receive from finishing the campaign by 75% (20k to 5k). Not to mention, the micros in D2 are purely cosmetic, and you can receive those items in-game. I have more Bright Dust than I know what to do with, and haven't spent a dime.
-
27 RespuestasWut? D2 has its problems, but it didnt cut any corners or have any pre release issues like D1 did. It is a perfectly functional, self contained, and complete product. even its microtransactions are completely benign and farmable unlike D1. The problems of D2s end game and loot are not due to publishers or deadlines. Its due to calculated decisions bungie made as a developer that turned out to not be what a large part of the community actually wanted.

Or they haven't played the witcher 3 [spoiler]but they should[/spoiler]

5 RespuestasEditado por SolarCerberuS: 11/20/2017 10:27:33 AMEA only listened after a verbal flogging from Disney. Disney are heavily vested in the Star Wars franchise so whats bad for Star Wars is bad for Disney. Antivi$ion on the other hand doesnt give 2 shits once they have your money and are likely the primary reason behind the mediocre state of D2 in the first place.
-
Naughty Dog is my go to company. Unabashed Uncharted fanboy here.
-
Single player games are usually better than ALWAYS online multiplayer shooters.
-
5 RespuestasAbout 4-5 years ago major publishers realized they could make absurd amounts of money with a mediocre product using the same techniques casinos use. Video games today have the same depth as slot machines because they are LITERALLY just slot machines with prettier shit to look at.
-
4 RespuestasI honestly believe there will be a backlash against AAA games in the near future. This micro transaction disease has to stop. Activision made $3.4B out of micro transactions alone last year. It’s utterly repugnant.
