I have the same sentiment. Taking the time for a proper new iteration gives a developer the breathing space to actually find out what the audience would like and building something that fits those qualities.lancar said:It's probably a wise move, and frankly I find it refreshing to see a publisher showing some restraint whilst still knowing, and giving, what people want.
This is not actually the core of the issue. A game can objectively be good even if the development time is short. The problem is being fed up with the game. I love Assassin's Creed. But I find myself unable to enjoy it for a very long time. I just finish the story and I'm done with the game because I know the next one will be out soon. On consoles this leads to people selling their games and then publishers and developers are whining about used sales. On PC it leads to waiting for discount sales. Perhaps if they let us crave for the next installment like Rockstar, Bethesda and Valve, we would treasure these games and play them for years after they've been released.Lovely Mixture said:Cause even with long amounts of development time, videogames can end up bad.
Oh course, but it's the issue I focus on when frequent releases come into the picture.Adam Jensen said:This is not actually the core of the issue. A game can objectively be good even if the development time is short.
I don't think this is the core of the issue either though (but still a one of them).Adam Jensen said:The problem is being fed up with the game. I love Assassin's Creed.

You know, we used to call these "patches" on PC, until they were replaced by DLC and finally whole new installments.CrazyBlaze said:CoD works though. Its a multiplayer experince. You play it to play the same CoD you have before but with minor tweaks and maps. Though it would be nice if it tried to dracticlly change the formula again. Just because it can.
