I sometimes play GTA 5 (because I have over 100 million in that game, I have I don't give a fuck money) and they've released a new update. Nothing major just a few additions and changes.
Since the update however, there's been two bugs, one that could delete ANY personal vehicles and the current one that randomly removes insurance so if your vehicle is destroyed you lose it for good.
Between Rockstar with this, Activision not knowing when to just shut the fuck up and Fable looking like their character artists use downs syndrome patients as their models it seems all the talent has gone out of the western video game market, at least in a major studio sense.
So which ones do you think are the biggest fuck ups that you're surprised hasn't burned down their own studio by now?
I've got about a thousand plus hours in now. The salvage missions are a real hoot, and PES kind of gives you infinite emergent possibilities since you can always find player wrecks and other cool cargo scattered throughout the verse.
I dump money into their coffers because they're at least trying to build new tech to forcibly push the industry forward, while the same can't be said for any of the AAA studios (a other few indies are trying, and I definitely try to show them support when possible). CIG, meanwhile, had to build four new pieces of middleware and 18 new backend services from scratch (because, well, no AAA studio bothered to build it and license it), and they managed to build about three of those middleware suites and all 18 backend services in about eight years, which is pretty quick all things considered, especially when you look at how long it usually takes to build bespoke middleware to scale.
But I always say, if there's another game out there that has all of Star Citizen's current features, I would gladly go play that game. But sadly, the only game with ship interiors and multiplayer without tons of load screens is Space Engineers, but it lacks a persistent universe, MMO aspects, any kind of story elements, and proper enemy NPCs. Can't think of any other games that come remotely close, despite Star Citizen at the moment being widely unfinished.
