“Is it just me or did the game actually get worse after the update?
-
Bro I haven’t been able to complete a ranked game or a cpu game without getting disconnected. All this happened after the update. Before the update my game was fine

Stop it with the idiotic analogies. And its funny you even put Chevy and Ford in that analogy, not exactly the most reliable of car brands...

@Teak2112_MLBTS no Honda is crazy

@Teak2112_MLBTS Fair enough on the analogy, but the point still stands. Delivering something unfinished and fixing it later isn’t a great experience for customers, no matter what industry it is.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN I know right
-
This is the gaming industry now. Once they moved to digital downloads, just about every game releases with known bugs and issues and gets patched as players complain. I can’t remember the last time a game was 100% finished on release date, regardless of genre.

Sadly, gaming industry is often not about the customer experience.
As another high profile example, Crimson Desert launched with some of the worst controls I have ever seen and missing a lot of QoL, and standard things like inventory storage. And unlike some of The Show's issues, these things were all known before launch. They have been patching this at a decent pace, but they clearly released an unfinished product.

@SavageSteve74_PSN “I actually agree with you on that. Once everything went digital it definitely turned into ‘here’s a broken game’… and the answer is ‘yeah but we’ll fix it later… maybe’
I honestly can’t remember the last time a game dropped and didn’t have issues at launch either.”“That’s kind of the problem though… it’s become normal.” -
@Teak2112_MLBTS “Yeah I agree with you on that. That’s kind of my point too, it’s not just this game, it’s the industry as a whole now. It’s like unfinished releases have become normal and we just accept patches later. That doesn’t mean it should be though.
I remember when Cyberpunk 2077 dropped, it was a total mess. Even No Man’s Sky was rough at launch.
I guess what I’m trying to say is companies should just come out and be honest from the start, like ‘hey, we messed up and overpromised, we’re going to fix it over time.’ Instead of silence or the usual ‘we’re looking into it.’
But yeah… it really has become the new norm.” -
The ONLY way this will change is if the entire gaming community finally has enough and everyone stops with preorders!! Won’t happen, so it’ll continue this way for the foreseeable future. Preorders are cash cows for the developers. It gives them an influx in cash for their shareholders to see early profit.

I agree the game got worse after the update, the update for the Nintendo Switch came out last night and after I did the update it now kicks me from the servers almost every time I play a mini seasons game or even trying to do moments, before the update I didn't have any problems with being disconnected
-
Plus beta testing before the actual release date to identify key issues that need to be addressed. It’s genius really when you think about it. Not only are they not paying people to test their games but people are actually paying them to test their games all under the guise of “early access”.
