Hey guys. I've thought about it lately, and in a receng forum post, I posted this:
Everyone has their own preference. I myself prefer to play mostly 2d games. It seems that the extra steps taken to ensure a game was made to high standards is not met nowadays.
I mean, one prime example is gta4. Gta4 crashed HARD when it was first released, making the game unplayable. Soon enough a patch was made and everything was decent for a while. That alone is my biggest gripe nowadays. It seems that publishers focus on making the game look good instead of focusing on the fun factor.
Think about it, anything wrong with a game can be fixed later on with a patch. Look at warhawk, it was released an unfinished game and we are still getting "new levels" that should've been included in the first place. Back then, once you released a game, all you could do is recall the defective ones and send it the fixed copies. It tooka ton of money to fix that problem and was usually avoided by two simple things: passion and carefulness.
I thought about this to the point of making a new union, something that would point out all of the gems in consoles. This to me seems to be something that hasn't been done too much, considering all the videos out there bashing games.
So what do you fellow gamespotters think? Do you share the same opinions as I do?
