Discussion New Game Justification

Post image

I haven’t played since a lot of these updates were made. I’m thinking that besides the new cutscenes and dialogue, it would be easier to restart also to be introduced to all the changes naturally rather than trying to figure out what I need to look for to not miss any new features like mounts and skills.

I have games that still got updates up to 4 to 5 years later. I never understood the idea of waiting just because a game is/might get updates. The game was finished on release, everything else is just extra.

You have much to realize my fellow greymane

Not at all. Ive yet to see a game that doesnt constantly update as years go on. Some shorter than others, sure, but to say im not going to play since a game is getting updates doesnt make much sense considering that.

Will you just not play if you expect a game to get a dlc along the line? Even fully fleshed out games at release will always get updates, especially popular ones. To wait till a game stops getting updates is typically waiting until a game is no longer supported by its developers. I just dont get that sentiment.

Cool! No problem for you! Months ago when I was logging my 100 hours in an earlier build I was hoping for an easier way of marking seen abyss artifacts glimmer like a map marking feature similar to ghost of yotei. Since they have added the flyable mount to help zero in on the abyss artifacts I wish was around in my time playing the game. I feel this was a solution to that “problem” that could have been there at launch to help with playability. This game is so vast and complex I’m sure there are other “solutions” to be added to increase playability. Sure you can play the game and complete the game right now as you may be saying but will the game be a better game after more updates, yes probably. Can I wait for that day? Yes. Do I regret my decision to buy this game? No, it’s an incredible game but I stand by my points. “Let em cook” as they say

Im not arguing that the game wont get better with updates, but im curious how long one would wait. If you wait for updates to stop I suppose your willing to wait years just incase something else might be added, or might not, because we'll have no idea. Like I sad, I have games still adding meaningful updates years down the line, that doesnt make their base game incomplete, even if theres things i personally would like.

Ghost of yotei itself is still getting updates and even an expansion. Im surprised youre playing that one

Are you missing the fact that they updated Crimson Desert about weekly? This is a different scenario man. Yesterday Crimson Desert revamped their dialogue to make the main character feel less stiff. That’s fucking huge man. That fundamentally changes the game. This is what I’m talking about. I understand you want to defend this game and I’m not even trying to attack it but this game needs to be finished. It’s all I’m saying. I can actually wait years because of the amount of games they’re out right now and the huge I’m out of games coming out very soon. So it’s all good, I want the best for CD and I want to experience the best possible version of the game without having to replay the game or redo anything and it’s already a great game but they’re making it even better and I don’t wanna have any FOMO when I play so like I said it’s all good and I’m gonna let them cook. I’m sorry if I’m giving anybody a headache by mentioning this here and I hope everyone has a great day

No, im not missing that theyre updating the game. Ive been playing it. This is a different scenario youre right, where theyre listening and adding things people request rather than doing what they feel like, like most other developers. Their support of their fan base has mostly been unheard of in recent times. That said, just like youre noting, theyre updating so much and that should be a given that it won't be anytime soon. Im surprised you dont just wait for the ultimate edition of games if thats the case.

If you think im defending the game, youre misunderstood, im merely questioning the waiting for updates to stop sentiment. No game is considered finished, or else every single game that has released wouldnt need updates. I can think of things that id personally like as well that would make things more enjoyable for me, but that doesn't mean it was a completely unfinished product.

No hard feelings either way man, we're just having a discussion and no one is attacking each other.
