Drive to make games was replaced with greed.
People supported shitty business practices.

> DLC is included in game install, despite not being loaded ever if you don't own it

Well for starters, in 1999 when a game was ready to ship, they had basically stopped programming the game a month in advance. it HAD to be done that early so they could make the N64 cartridges/write the discs, do last minute QC on the first batch probably (ie., disc quality not game quality), get them packaged, get them shipped on time, etc.

The game HAD to be finished come hell or high water by that point, or you just had to announce a delay. Now? Hell, even if you get to the "release" build of the game a month in advance of release... that just means you have another month of bug fixing and stuff. And sometimes they'd rather release the game half-baked knowning people will download the update anyway to fill in whatever they left out.

The real question is why is Mewtwo such a good character in all aspects?

Too bad Nintendo games are shit

Nintendo games still look like games from 1999 that is why

B-BUT NINTENDO GAMES SUCK, PLAY MY TRIPLE AAA FPS PLS

Yeah, play games thst actuslly look like they should cost $60 instead of nintendo games that look like they belong on a app store for $10

alright gramps, stop hogging the tv at the old folks home, the Walking Dead season 22 is on and the others want to watch their soap

Like clockwork. Never change Sony fags.

Playstation “games” are just movies so why are they being sold for 4x what movies cost?

>we didn't throw a shitfit over the horse armor
Speak for yourself I refused to buy DLC for years but it turns out one mans protest dosn't mean shit when millions are buying it so now I buy DLC, pre-order, all of it. I don't give a fuck anymore.

WHITO PIGGU GO HOME

there are places in africa with better net than burgers lmao

I just buy AAA trash 3-5 years later once it's all in a single package and priced fairly.
It's not like graphics or gameplay are advancing in strides like they did in late 90s and early 00s.

would you boomers seriously trade in critical bug fixes to eliminate save corruption and game breaking bugs as well as free content patches just so you can save the 10 minutes it takes to download it?

>black ops 2 started this bullshit
It's been a thing going back to the early PS3 and 360 days.

Fuck, there are PSP games where you can access DLC by editing your saves.

Switch
>put in game
>play

Thats only because switch still has ps2/gc graphics

>Things that never happen

>he updates his system every time he plays
Kek

PS3 and Xbox 360 had patches.

I'd rather my games not have those when they ship a FINISHED PRODUCT

>patches are not MANDATORY

The problem is the patch servers will not be up forever.

And besides Soul Calibur 3 and Myth 2 I cant name any games that corrupt your hard drive.

and there it is. always revealing themselves as the shitposting culprits.

>finished product
Kek gramps everything is on demand now try to keep up pops

POD Speedzone on Dreamcast has cars and a track locked behind Ubisoft account registration.

>buy game
>put in disc
>play game while update downloads in background
>install update next time I play
Goddamn its so hard.

As do I, but greedy fuck CEOs aren't letting that happen and they never did. The idea that retro games were all flawless and content-complete is a product of hazy selective memory.

How many DOS games were unplayable without patches? How many even got patches?

>implying old shitconsole didnt take a lot to turn on, or load game , and loading times
>ignoring n64 mandatory add ons to use games
>ignoring xbox, ps3 game updates and console updates
>current consoles have optional system updates
>current consoles have modular storage that can be improved to boost loading times and storage capacity
>current consoles allow you to put the disk and play while the data is installing
>ignoring the MASTER RACE

That’s literally how ps4/xbox manage game updates dumbass

>old game was developer for a single programmer on a weekend and got sold for 60$
>new game its made for over 2500 professional people with diferent teams. And got sold for 60$

Dream Tank Match will not launch without a day one update

the new game will reach a far larger audience and features systems that grill customers for more money, be it "ultimate editions" or microtransactions. also those employees will be forced to work ungodly overtime and will can be fired at the drop of a hat.
