I don't know. Cyberpunk certainly hurt their credibility quite a bit. But hopefully the studio learned the lessons from it and can pull back to bring a better title. This game is like a 2030 release anyway at best so it's nothing to get excited for or anything like that. All we can hope for is a good game and they'll either deliver that or they wont.
And you bet your ass, there are people who will already try to pull a forgive and forget situation or try to pretend like the Cyberpunk, disaster was not that bad. I can already see the boot lickers and genital suckers now.
I mean one bad game doesn't ruin a studio for everyone. So what would you have people do? Forever shun the studio because they made a bad game, that they did patch and fix as much as possible?
Ahahaha!
I didn't say for them to be shunned. They're supposed to stay on the alert, but a majority of them will not do that. They'll try to pass it off as water under the bridge, forgive and forget, or "it's in the past or old news". And I called out this mentality years ago. I remember people were panicking and giving me crap back on the old version of the site, because I said things weren't looking right with all the delays, and the rumors of the crunch for started around 2016 and 2017. Even you gave me somebody to grief over it at the time. From what I remember.
Bad comparison and analogy. Bethesda has not even tried for years. Their mainline Elder Scrolls/Fallout games has been running on the same out of date engine since 2007/08. I definitely don't trust Todd Howard's lies. And Todd Howard has lied and made false promises more than he cares to count. Regardless if it dealt with Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or not.
I mean this is just people in general. It's why people live on Earthquake faults and under Volcanos. People never think the "next time" will happen to them. And when it comes to entertainment products it's even worse. Look at Sonic fans, they constantly get shit but every time a new game is announced they get all blue about it.
And yet you know damn well people will be praising the sun if Starfield is good.
This doesn't matter if you trust the studio or not. All the matters is the game that comes out. A good game made under bad management is still a good game. A bad game under good management is still a bad game. The circumstances of the game's creation do not matter to the consumer.
Sucks to be them. It's exactly why I enjoyed the games I wanted to enjoy, and never got too deep in the fandom. The fans can't take all ty blame, Sega has plenty of moments where the process feeds into itself. They are just as responsible.
It's called being better or...
And that's where you're wrong. It does matter. To me and to those I care about it, doesn't matter to you "in the grand scheme of things". It doesn't matter to the ones in charge "in the grand scheme of things". It doesn't matter when they don't care about the overall quality of their product.
It does matter to the consumer, you're just obliviously naive and being blind to their lies. Lies you've been fed your whole life. Not my problem if it's taken you this long to figure it out. The consumer does matter, cuz we are the one buying these products or not. We are the true arbiters, despite whatever gamestop, some game journalism site, some idiotic YouTube critics, or the publishers and developers themselves. And I choose not to to buy certain games fot specific reasons. And if other consumers can't figure that out this white me giving warnings and giving them heads up, that's their problem they have no one to blame but themselves. I gave the warnings, but I won't cry.
Keyword there is "planning". Companies have said that shit before, only for the plan to change apparently.
Don't you want to experience "real human emotions", and see the "grey areas" for over 18 hours?!
As if the game ain’t long enough. It would’ve been more interesting to have a Witcher sense mechanic that could be developed with the more clues you find, where it’s like piecing together her whereabouts vs just blatantly giving Ciri a bunch of one-note gameplay sequences.
Imagine if it's a new character. Cue all the fans howling that they want more Geralt and that (insert new character here) is just pandering to (insert special interest group here).
Of course it's not going to be exclusive to one storefront, it'll be on PS5 too.
