Lollll.. This generation man... Its just gonna keep on getting worse and worse


Well its only year one. It took 2-3 years before 360 and PS3 really became appealing.

Well... I am not really talking about the games library of the consoles, I am talking about how it hasn't even been a year yet and we have already seen some greedy business practices... You have One year ports, Exclusive DLC, 10 gb patches, Micro-Transactions, Timed Exclusives, Multiple Collectors Editions where none of them include everything, Downgrades on the PC version so that the console version has an excuse to look downgraded, Multi-platform exclusives (as in how TitanFall is) and etc... Maybe it will get better in the future and some of them are some what justifiable but that doesn't mean they aren't greedy tactics and its just the first year is what I am worried about...

And yes, some of them has been in the 7th generation but I feel as though its getting worse in the 8th generation

The problem is developers no longer see the disk going gold as the 'lets unwind and celebrate', instead its more a case of 'we now have 4-6 weeks to do as much additional work as possible, which we'll push in a day 1 update' This didnt happen before the xbox 360 and ps3 because almost all consoles were offline and xbox live on the original xbox was at a time where a large portion of its users had relatively slow net.

People having broadband and consoles being guaranteed a hard drive, and the ability to patch, is what gives developers this get out of jail free card when it comes to adding 1-2 months of development time to the production and release of a game.

 

Also, currently, PS4 patching system allows difference patching and archive replacement, Xbox Ones current patching system only allows entire files to be replaced.



or devs should stop trying to put the game on every single platform. they probably just run out of time so by the time the game goes gold there still working on it which is why the big day one patch



They are probably sending these games to gold before they are done and then patching in the rest of the game.



Thanks jlmurph!

This is beyond ridiculous. I'd rather quit gaming than buy a PS4 or an XBONE.

It's funny how little to no complaining I've seen on this matter.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out (; lol 



Wow, I have never heard of that huge day 1 patches before now... but it doesn't surprise me either.

How does these games play without a patch compared to playing with them? If somebody has tried.



Yep.
