You bought a game and played it with no patches, fixes or alterations of any kind until the next release the following year?
My bias suggests those games were programmed better than the games of today.

Yes for sure!!! I understand that they want to make money off of add-ons which is fine by me, but for the base price of the game, you would expect a certain level of competency on their part. The gameplay is absolute [censored] this year and they don't seem to care. The are too busy releasing content for the cashed up kiddies to purchase! Only patches so far have been for the online players who spend the $$$.

Thats honestly why besides this game, I really only play Nintendo games lol. I play crash team racing from time to time, but Nintendo games are take it or leave it. The only things patched in Nintendo games(other than smash bros because there is balancing patches all the time in that game) is game-breaking glitches used in speedruns. Nintendo games are no nonsense, If you don’t like it deal with it kind of games. With sports games and first person shooters you always have a loud minority that gets the game patched and ruins it for others

Those games never had to deal with internet or latency. It was self contained.

I remember playing High Heat around 02 or 03. Didnt look as good, but it was pretty in depth for a ps2 game.

This. If they just made this game for all offline play there wouldnt be hardly any issues. In fact even as it sits I am avoiding online H2H play for now. And the game is fine in that offline state.

Because programming a game today is exactly like it was decades ago. No changes to complexity or anything.
