PS4 Launch Titles are (Surprisingly) not getting good reviews

[FrozenLaughs]

So why did so many pre-order a PS4 knowing that launch titles suck?

Because they are idiots that need to have the new shiny gadget. There are still a shitload of games coming to this gen, some even exclusive like Dark Souls 2 or Gran Turismo 6.

So I'm an idiot? Nice.

I'll give you a little hint, nobody has to justify themselves to you, especially with that attitude. Without people like me, the industry would collapse.

Without people like you, maybe the industry would learn to slow the fuck down and put some quality control into what they do instead of redesigning and patching everything.

I never needed to replace a console or patch a game before this generation. (barring mmos)

I can't remember the last time a game I played absolutely required s patch out of the gate to work without major trouble. I remember the late 90s on PC with user made patches to fix problems as companies often did nothing. Even the NES had major issues with a ejection spring. Things have got better, if anything.

Spare me the hyperbole, please. If you don't like something then don't buy it, that simple and the only way to get your message out. Don't insult others for their choice of luxury entertainment products, eh.

Hmmm. Never saw systems redesigned due to poor design before the 360 and PS3. Referencing a nearly non existant spring issue as "major" is laughable. Everyone still has an NES buried in a box that still works, 30 yrs later.

As for patching, you certainly couldn't patch a cartridge back in the day, but how many needed them? I remember just after the launch of Super Mario 3 waiting for them to fix the multiplayer. Oh wait, no I don't.

Name one title you've played recently that didn't get at least 1 title update before you played. Just because a game isn't crippled by lack of a patch (as some are) needing a patch to fix some flawed portion of the game is just proof they didn't take the time (or spend the money) needed to ensure a quality product.

Finding out 3 months after launch you built a poorly designed console that overheats so badly that it *melts the solder holding it together * because you had to rush to make the holiday season and cut costs, is not quality control.

Too many companies today feel its ok to oversell and under deliver, because "fuck it we can just patch it later." It's not hyperbole to call bullshit what it is - bullshit. It's hyperbole to claim an entire industry would die if people like you didn't buy launch consoles. An entire industry PRACTICE would die without people like you. Know the difference.

(and yes, I plan on buying the PS4, I just plan on waiting to see how it actually works out over the holidays. Common sense vs. blind faith.)
