This is not true at all. It’s just that we have a bigger picture of EVERYTHING that is happening compared to the last 2 decades. Where all we knew that was happening was what was being released in Video Stores, advertised in niche magazines,what was released in bookstores, or what is shown on TV etc.

It’s always been…

That won’t solve any of the problem at all. Because then you will just have things not getting in the door for arbitrary or random reasons. Just as they are now.

And if you create a process like this, why do AAA games and companies seem to become exempt from any of this? You see it on other platforms all the time with…

Quality huh? Does that apply to all the crap on every other gaming platform?

“Having people go through a publisher or be a similarly known quantity is another way to hopefully ensure that a game won’t be, you know, garbage.”

Yeah, like that’s stops games from being potentially crap.

Dear god, please don’t let this be a western inspired bloat filler fest of a game. That’s the LAST thing Zelda needs to take cues from.

It’ll be a cold day in hell when the like of Crapout and Crap of Duty ...wait where was I going with this?

This is what happens when you cultivate the mentality of steam sales and “I’ll just wait until it’s 2$ to buy it”.

For starters, Steam’s review system is hardly even remotely worthy of undertaking such a task. It needs a neutral button for one..

Not always, and it’s not like any other system or marketplace for games doesn’t have ones that are broken in some way or launch broken.

Bad is subjective. What you might not enjoy, someone else will.
And it’s not like there isn’t mountains of crap on any other console in the history of ever. People whine and moan about Steam like it’s some special exception and is so much worse than everything else. But it’s not really.
No certification process or…

It makes it harder because there is more choice? Would you rather there be a totalitarian committee deciding what is and what isn’t ok for you?

And half of you are writing off this crap because of totally arbitrary reasons based on pre-conceptions.

Like other big name games on Steam aren’t derivative and totally unorignal. That doesn’t make them automagically bad.

Oh yeah it’s not like the same thing doesn’t happen on consoles right? It’s like nobody remembers all the AAA games that launch totally broken without a day 1 update. Or even the non AAA games that have tons of problems.

IF you read the dev thread on nesdev. You’d see! :)

RIGHT< because it’s not like a ton of NES games weren’t total horse shit or buggy messes filled with slowdown right?

And who the fuck are you to dictate what should and what shouldn’t be allowed just because it doesn’t jive with your interests??

This statement ^ /thread

Artist? Right. Artist.

Nothing could ever get me to like this guy or his music. Not even Vidya Games.

Neat that he likes that stuff I guess.

Considering it was just him. People shouldn’t bitch and moan about lack of constant updates. Work has to get done instead of talking about work that isn’t done yet.
