Wow you're telling me this wasn't ground breaking dialogue?

Can't believe we're still seeing tantrums from people who worked on this game. Like people were questioning why they were bothering day one.

Yknow, now that I'm able to see the tweet
... can we point out where he's wrong? There were definitely folks out there who couldn't see past certain things

1. One of the reasons Playstation exclusives get really good reviews is that they're well polished
2. Reviewers (and others) played the game just fine. That's how I know the 'ground breaking' horde feature isn't as big of a deal as they made it out to be
3. See linked video

The whole 'woke' thing is a copout too. You know what other game had people complain in the announcement that we were playing as a boring white guy? Red Dead Redemption 2. Do people make that complaint now? No. Because Rockstar actually know how to write compelling and likeable protagonists even after following up on a game with three distinct playable characters.

I remember being interested in Days Gone initially but months before release there was next to no new info. Kind of a red flag for me so i chose to wait it out. Then it came out and next to nobody gave a fuck.

I remember multiple topics about how it came and went.

Seems like the guy got an inflated ego because Steam reviews are positive. What a fucking idiot.

If the director isn't taking responsibility for the technical issues of the game he's directing why are we supposed to be surprised that Sony kicked his ass out the door?

Syphon Filter died for this generic zombie biker game too.

The game was dogshit. Deacon's wife doesn't even have a nice ass, either. Fuck Garvin

It wasn't me that fucked up! It was everyone I was responsible for making sure didn't fuck up that fucked up!

They really didn't. The bugs were just not nearly as damning as people like to meme about. Bethisda games are super buggy, but not in ways that make the game experience dramatically worse.

When I played Skyrim on the Xbox 360 there was a bug that would make the game freeze up if I stepped in any water at all. Didn't even have to be deep water. If it made the splishy-splashy sound effect, my game froze up.

I had to RP as a hydrophobic Khajiit until it got fixed.

EDIT: Correction, the PS3 version. It was Oblivion that I had on 360, I had already moved on to PS3 by the time Skyrim came out.

That game sucked donkey taint
