Thread 713199357

Is it me or are games getting buggier on release?
The recent Pikmin 3 re-release for Switch 2 was completely broken and there's no way quality control of Nintendo would've let that slide just 10 years ago, let alone 20. What happened?

pajeets, jews, hr diversity hires and a QA team filled with journalists.

>>713199357 (OP)
No expectation of quality. Most of these game remakes or rather old titles they keep squeezing the juice out of are no longer being made by the original devs.
Take monster hunter for example. The first game had tons of soul, giga kino. Sure QoL was bad but it had love and no bugs. Now look at wilds. Zero soul, tons of bugs, quick cash grab.

Same with dragons dogma 1 and 2.

I just kept saying the same thing around the time of No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk's "redemptions",
forgiving these game devs for finally making their games playable after releasing absolutely unplayable dogshit only encourages them to continue to release buggy unplayable dogshit because, hey, "we'll get around to fixing it eventually they gamers shown they don't care"

"Fuck it, we can release a patch later".

>>713200117
i can forgive NMS because it was basically a smaller studio and the guy in charge was in way over his head. But yeah, Cyberpunk was pretty inexcusable

Couldve been worse though, they couldve just cut and run. Look at Homeworld 3, they basically gave up on it

They re-released pikmin 3 for switch 2 and it is BROKEN

Kill bedbugs. Behead bedbugs. Roundhouse kick a bedbug into the concrete. Slam dunk a bedbug baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy blacks. Defecate in a bedbugs food. Launch bedbugs into the sun. Stir fry bedbugs in a wok. Toss bedbugs into active volcanoes. Urinate into a bedbugs gas tank. Judo throw bedbugs into a wood chipper. Twist bedbugs heads off. Report bedbugs to the IRS. Karate chop bedbugs in half. Curb stomp pregnant black bedbugs. Trap bedbugs in quicksand. Crush bedbugs in the trash compactor. Liquefy bedbugs in a vat of acid. Eat bedbugs. Dissect bedbugs. Exterminate bedbugs in the gas chamber. Stomp bedbug skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate bedbugs in the oven. Lobotomize bedbugs. Mandatory abortions for bedbugs. Grind bedbug fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown bedbugs in fried chicken grease. Vaporize bedbugs with a ray gun. Kick old bedbugs down the stairs. Feed bedbugs to alligators. Slice bedbugs with a katana.

Since when?

Bed bugs taste kinda good though

>>713199357 (OP)
Sure. It's simply because they can get away with it. Every retard just goes "but they'll patch it" now for some reason.

>>713199357 (OP)
The re-release was for Switch 1, you can play it on 2 but it was designed for it. It was indeed broken, but no more

>>713199357 (OP)
Nigger they just released a patch for the game.

"we can fix it later" causes laziness. You see this this in a lot of areas of modern society now when in the past there were sharper deadlines and "getting it right" was of upmost importance because you had one shot.

>>713200332
NMS was more of a hype problem in my mind, people just saw infinite content and let their imaginations get away with them. I didn't mind it at launch and, having played it in the last year, honestly nothing has changed but people like it now for some reason.

Cyberpunk was just a terrible plan, they wanted to build a perfect pc version, and then port that down to consoles with settings sliders. This is just about the worst approach to game design. It makes sense to make a game for console and then just port it up because pc will handle whatever you throw at it, consoles will not. The consequence is that cyberpunk was a perfectly playable game on pc at launch, crashed twice for me in the entire 50 hours of gameplay, but I watched my ps4 friend crash every single 30 minutes to an hour for 50 hours and that is beyond fucking retarded.

With nintendo it's just embarrassing, you can't release a game for one console and have it be buggy shit that's just pathetic.

There's something intimate about knowing that any bed bug you have in your house is there because of your blood. I live alone, and i had a bed bug infestation a couple of years back. At some point i perversely saw them as my children, and i would intentionally take some of them with me wherever i went (public transport mostly) as a way to spread my blood children.

>>713201462
are those roaches?

Look at his walls, look at the muted response to this stimuli, you know this guy is real white trash from the bayou
If I opened my pc and saw a spider I would flip my shit.

Games used to be even buggier.

>>713201647
Yeah like in the 90s and early 00s when they were unpatchable.

>>713201525
Looks like earwigs
>>713201597
>muted response to this stimuli
Earwigs are pretty retarded, but they also want to fly into the guy's ears so they arent gonna be afraid.

>>713199357 (OP)
Everyone having internet lets them skip a lot of the QA work when customers are willing to beta test for free and you can just patch the game later.

>>713202109
I'd be more concerned in their shit which is probably caking the lower have of their bodies and filled with parasite larva.

>>713201647
>>713201835

Give an example

>>713203303
Well you see summerfag, the concept you know as the "internet" was actually not accessible on any console up until the xbox generation so games were not patchable without re-releasing cartridges/disks and therefore had to be perfect at launch, and were, because people in the 90s weren't pathetically trash at their jobs hence why india and china are going to run the world in 20 years thanks to corporate interests outsourcing all jobs until people forgot how to work.
It doesn't help that now there's so many layers of obfuscation that computers are effectively just magic black boxes that nobody really can comprehend in scope from start to finish.

>>713201420
I'm feeding your bed bug children my cum
They're my little wives
How does that make you feel

>>713200936
They don't know that because youtubers haven't told them about it yet

>>713201647
Not in your face bugs

>>713202109
Earwigs don't go into people's ears anon...

Eurojank is no longer as janky as it was in the 2000s.

>>713199357 (OP)
Programming has become more abstracted and with each layer of abstraction more bugs are added.

>>713205782
no it's not more abstract, more complex (but not more complicated). However modern buggy games are merely the result of unwillingness to focus on polish in order to hit target release with the excuse that it can always be patched later.

>>713200201
It's because of this attitude among devs and publishers combined with the proliferation of high speed internet. Back when everyone was still on dial up and you didn't have Steam or whatever to auto patch your game, you needed to make sure that game was as bug free as possible when it shipped because the average gamer wasn't going to bother hunting for and then tying up their phone-in for hours, to fix your mess.

>>713200610
No, the Switch 2 is using emulation for backwards compatibility rather than native hardware, and it's not 100% across all games, much like how there are compatibility issues with practically every backwards compatibility-oriented emulator. Pikmin 3 got an update a few days ago that addressed the playback issues on the Switch 2.

You're probably too young to know this, but this is what happens whenever new hardware is made. There were even original Game Boy games that had issues on a Game Boy Color due to minute differences in how the hardware worked, especially if the game relied on hardware exploits that wouldn't be possible on later iterations.

There were GBA games that had issues when running on a DS or DS Lite, like Mega Man Battle Network 4 Blue Moon. Not every PS1 and PS2 game ran flawlessly on the PS3 either. And this isn't even accounting for games with bad programming that don't even run correctly on their intended hardware, or games programmed by people who misunderstood the hardware and completely botch the soundtrack.

>>713199357 (OP)
Yes. I was really enjoying Metal Slug Tactics but it became buggier and buggier until it was unplayable after a few rounds. I tried it after they patched it a few months later and it still had run-breaking, unavoidable bugs. I don't know how they get away with releasing this shit.

>>713205782
what exactly is "abstract" programming?

>>713207293
God Nintendo are a blight.
>WE CAN EMULATE BUT YOU CANT, ERM, ITS ILLEGAL!
Nintendo made me hate Japan.
