Donkey Kong is heavily implied, Zelda and Metroid are likely in discussion but nothing confirmed yet. All voiced by Chris Pratt though.

Can switch pass ps2? About 25 mil away.

I would imagine that it’s at least the low to mid nine figures to make this game- but I also imagine that an extremely significant amount of that money was invested a decade ago when they made the BotW, and that the existing bones of that game made making this one much “easier” and most likely development never rested…

If I roll my eyes more, I'll lose them inside my skull.

So basically, in less than a month and a half, TOtK made Nintendo over a billion dollars. In a month and a half. And I don’t even think you can buy the DLC yet.

It sold more units in that time than the Wii U over it’s entire lifetime.

Tears of the Kingdom, for example, the follow-up to 2017's Breath of the Wild, sold 18.51 million units just between its May 12 launch and June 30, roughly a month and a half.

Haha, one video I saw, the texture totally failed to load in one stage, leaving a giant hole where you could see outside the stage.

I have certainly never seen so many game breaking bug fixes in a single patch list. Like MasterChief3624 said fighting game patch notes can be super long but they’re usually things like ‘Dropped Chad-Li’s invulnerability windows on the 12th frame of his Super Blorty Twisty Toilet Roll from 3 frames to 2 frames if his…

I don’t see any fix for ‘The jumping is just terribly random and broken, making the platforming unbearable.’

Does it fix the game-breaking bug in which nobody wants to play the story of the sad, evil, tragic little monster that ultimately betrays everyone who trusts him in the name of a nebulous addiction?

Fighting game patch notes tend to be pretty long.

That looks like a contender for longest patch notes ever. Anyone know of any longer ones?

I think this shows how the market has become. Games are getting released with major issues and being fixed later, on the attempt to get them to market sooner than later to get that almighty dollar. Even Jedi had issues at launch, and we all remember CP2077 and its plethora of issues. I agree with some of the latest…

That was my thought as well. Delisting and offering refunds would have cost much less than (presumably) pulling people off of other shit to help push out a bunch of fixes.

Yeah, then it would have been a slightly less shitty, ugly game instead of a shitty, ugly, broken game lol

Imagine if they had just delayed the game a few more weeks until these patches were complete. Would have been a whole different story. 

The game is currently on sale (for 40-something instead of 50-something Euros) on the (German) PS4 store. I can see quite a few people, who don’t necessarily follow gaming news, buying a “Lord of the Rings game on sale”. I hope not, but I wouldn’t be surprised at a small sales bump.

Seems like it would be more cost effective to just delist it. I don’t think there’s a big group of people out there like “this game would be so good if only it weren’t so broken,” consensus seemed to be “this is a fundamentally shit game, and also very broken.”

I mean, if you turned off all the post processing effects and ran it at 480p, it might work? That game absolutely HUMBLED my 3080, no idea how a ps4 will fair.
