I'm certain that this will have no negative consequences on the quality and reception of the releases.

/S

Yeah, rushed games are always the best. Love them.

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 21 points 2 months ago

Sure, normal take. But ES6 would not be 'rushed' even if they finished it a decade ago.

[-] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

It can absolutely be both rushed and way late. You just have to move very slowly (or inefficiently) for a long time and then try to get what you have release-ready in a hurry.

[-] tiny_hedgehog@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

You make a good point.

This doesn't affect me, cause I never buy games before the first >50% off Steam sale.

[-] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Ye but there have been plenty of games that never got fixed because once a game flops the publisher usually isn't super interested in dumping more cash into it.

I still remember anthem and how they wanted to fix it up for a 2.0 release but when EA realized they wouldn't be able to sell it again because players HAD ALREADY FUCKING PAYED FOR IT they just abandoned it.

All that being said something seems to be going wrong in current game development cycles. It took 4-5 years to make Skyrim and now ES6 will 3 to 4 times as long.

Right Bethesda is defintely gonna release an update and fix all the bugs by then, they are well known for that.

[-] femtek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Modders will though.

It worked out great for jedi survivor

I did not play Jedi Survivor....were there issues at launch or cut content?

[-] juipeltje@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah there were, the performance was horrible. Had screen tearing from all the framedrops, and in some areas the internal resolution looked like it was 720p or something. Ironically i bought the ps5 version thinking it would save me from performance issues, cause at the time my gpu was getting older and couldn't buy a new one because of the scarcity, only to be met with that lol. I played the new-game+ mode or whatever over a year later and it was finally fixed for the most part at that point. Still had some screen tearing in really busy areas later in the game.

Oh so it was shoved out the door and unoptimized..what a shame

[-] juipeltje@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah... i'm pretty sure the EA CEO was also bragging to the media at the time about finishing the game in record time. Except it wasn't really finished if you ask me lol.
