    everyone wants to be Square with FFxiv, but Square and Yoshida genuinely meant it, now devs just use FFxiv as an excuse to make a bad game, and then go hey look they did it we can too. It's bad for players, embarrassing for the devs, and rude to Yoshida and his team.

    • @frazer_1997
      @frazer_1997 3 года назад

      Yeah, I remember the devs literally crying while they apologized on stream. It wasn't just a job, it was the pride of their company and their flagship IP.
      People forgot that Realm Reborn wasn't an normal, ideal situation, but a desperate attempt to fix a disastrous situation, which was successful only because Square had full control over the project and offered pretty much no budget limit. The lesson to publishers was to NEVER arrive at that point, but instead people got the idea that they can release a product way earlier and just fix it after release.
      It didn't help that a lot of users believe in these "redemption arcs" and support them, but even them are losing faith nowadays, and are a lot less forgiving.

    Cyberpunk's development cycle was closer to 4 years - it didn't really start until after the two expansions for The Witcher 3 were released. They also wasted a lot of time on that E3 presentation which was a large proof-of-concept that was unconnected from the game they were actually making, which didn't help matters.
    The game as released is fine, but it completely failed to live up to expectations.

      Communities can indeed be toxic but it is not an equal point as they don't have any professional obligation to be civilised. All the community did was prove their lack of morality, which is completely unacceptable, of course. The developers not only ditched morality, but also completely abandoned their professional responsibility to their paying customers as well as the company they represent. There are higher expectations of a person within a professional capacity and they should be held to a higher standard than that of a spoiled, immature and obscene mob.

    But it is not fair to set CD ProjectRed, a proud non-crush studio, bowing to media pressure to release something anyone but the moneypeople think is good enough, are fodder for the chopping block is cruel. No one who actually worked on Cyberpunk 2077 would have said it was ready at the time it was released. The idiots in charge demanded too much, and an unfinished product is what we all saw.

    "They aren't to sorry since its still exclusive", Are you guys serious right now? You do realize their company are OWNED by Microsoft and they have no say in whether its exclusive or not? Your legit not even trying to hide your bias, Sony can make the likes of Spider Man exclusive and you give them a pat on the back, Microsoft paid billions of dollars for that great library and yet you expect them to be better than Sony and not do what Sony always do when they pay a large chunk of money for a game's exclusivity rights? Its such BS when fanboys show their true colors, I happen to own all the current systems and recently started to lean more on PC gaming so its not like this effects my being able to play it at all but I just hate bias fanboys and you showed it with the first of this list.

The "freeloaders" are indeed the vast vast VAST majority of the players in free to play games and I, having played many of those games and been active in their online communities, know that they are the first ones to whine and cry about every little thing. They have the audacity to do so while never ever spending 1 single dollar in the game "they love". I can see the Apex Legends devs frustation about that.
