| Topic | Random thought: it's really easy to predict how good a game will be. |
| KamikazePotato 01/23/23 9:05:52 PM #1: | This isn't the norm in most media industries! With movies, trailers can be super misleading, and hyped sequels to great movies can be awful. Same goes with TV. With books and music, you have even less to go off of - just trust that the creator won't screw up. Games, however, show so much of themselves pre-release that once you've been around for a while (and know how to spot bullshit PR statements) it's not hard to predict how good it will be long before it comes out. While there are some outliers, overall I can't remember the last time a game came out that was wildly better/worse than what people expected. Maybe Cyberpunk, but that was a result of lots of straight-up false advertising, and lots of people realized the writing on the wall when it got delayed repeatedly. Maybe this is different if you...I don't know, only play obscure unproven indie games, but I think it largely holds up throughout the industry. --- It's Reyn Time. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
