A lot of the problems could be solved with a massive overhaul of the whole cert. system. I mean, we both know that almost certainly won’t happen... but it should.

They do QA, but just because they have done it doesn’t necessarily mean they can fix every single thing they find before having to going gold due to time constraints. Then they spend the rest of the time they have fixing as much as they can before launch, resulting in a day one patch.

Because even digital has the same certification stuff on consoles?

Polygon did the same thing when they posted his article, too. Added in a NMS screenshot and video in the middle of the article.

The “gold” version of a game can be upwards of several months old for consoles, would you prefer the developers just twiddle their thumbs for 1-4 months after it becomes gold? Or would you rather they finish making the game what they wanted it to be for launch during that time?

You think the day 1 patch stuff is because they are lazy?

It is all bureaucracy man. It is just how certification works on consoles, the developers don’t like it any more than we do. You think they want to have to send off a copy of the game months before launch to get it certified so they can actually release it? They would obviously prefer something like Steam, where that…

Right? By that logic, World of Warcraft has been unfinished for over a decade.

Uh, they have told you what it is? It is a space exploration game with some combat, trading and the like? Everyone exists within the same Universe (supposedly, anyway, there may be more than one I guess) so you can theoretically run into someone else... but the odds are that you probably won’t see anyone else very…

Maybe try the company that made Ori and the Blind Forest?

I see what you are getting at.

Starbound.

They aren’t reversible and turn inside out to make another pokemon?

I need to ask...

The UI is way too distracting, like they want you to pay attention to the UI rather than what is going on.

All this does is tell me not to play any of the games this group makes.

AMD’s top end cards may have HBM2.

It isn’t. It is just a similar style due to the nature of the games. Ryan (from PA) has been aware of it for 3 years, he likes it.

Not that I have heard, but I know they have a lot of plans for the game. I remember reading they want to redo the whole tech tree, build out the end-game more (there is one... sort of. It is just building towards the giant rocket to send supplies off-world, which is why you are there in the first place) and more like…

It sounds like it is kind of a rare, one -off thing... but if you pay attention, crap like that happens pretty commonly. People killing family members because they are raiding your colony, pets committing suicide by attacking boomalopes... good times. Such good times.
