Fat Albert and the gang get lost in San Andreas.

How could shit like this possibly pass QA?

It lives rent free in modern western developers heads, almost everything they do is to distance themselves from the perceived "Gamer Gate" type of gamers, like the Saints Row reboot.
But that's not the case here. None of this game's problems have anything to do with IdPol, and there's no need to shit up the thread with it.
 
What an absolute sad state of affairs, the bare minimum was too hard for these people. Call me when the industry has another ET crash so I can start caring again.
Honestly with my backlog of games, I have enough to last me the rest of my life even if the industry crashes and burns. Plus there are people who make games out of love and some even distribute them for free. There is Ib, Yume Nikki, the original Witches House, among many others.

The likes of Rockstar need us more than we need them. Although, it is disappointing the direction of the mainstream industry since they are capable of putting out decent shit.

Me wondering what the nice people on /v/ have to say about this...

They found a pic of the Dev team and are arguing over who they'd rather fuck - thicc momma or emo girl. lmao I don't know why I was expecting anything else

A marketer....dear God.
She's hot now, but screams cat lady in a few years...

The developer is yet another group of diversity hires, so in a way IdPol is one part of the game's problems.
I give up.
 
See I loved Cyberpunk 2077 because well even with the glitches aside at least it was trying to put in the effort..I think to much.

With this though, I don't think they gave a shit at all.
There's no excuse for this trilogy to turn out the way it did. Especially when modders did a better job enhancing the experience FOR FREE.

I'm thankful for JPRGs, you could easily spend years doing nothing but playing old JRPGs considering how absurdly long most of them are.

But a big part of what makes video games cool is seeing things evolve with new games, think of how jaw dropping it was to play GTAIII for the first time or GTA:SA for the first time, old school games are great, but if we've lost new games being worthwhile we've lost something very dear.

I give up.

This is who they hire to work on video games in 2021. What a gamer.

I won't pretend she played some massive role but the fact that people like this are even employed in the gaming industry is a massive issue. But that's diversity hires for you. Doesn't matter who's best for the job or who has the passion for gaming, just a wayward group of feckless box tickers and quota numbers.

Honestly, I don't think there will ever stop being good games, but you are less likely going to find them from the big boys.

The future always lies in those indies, those have souls. Well, at least until they either become big enough to become one of the big boys and embrace their retardation or get bought out by the big boys (see every studio bought by EA).

No matter how good a studio is, when they get too big they become corporate - bloated and disconnected from their customers. The more the OG team leaves the more the soul gets sapped away until corporate is all that is left.

When you see a studio become massively successful, start letting go your attachment. If it doesn't turn corporate it will probably get bought out by corporate. They don't care about creativity and the art, they are motivated by profit.

Rockstar is still with us, but the soul is gone.
 
I'll wait for the ACTUAL definitive edition.
JFC why?!?! Why on earth would you ever even consider giving them any money ever again after shit like this? It's not a one-off, either; they've been pulling this crap for years and they show no signs of stopping. How many times do they have to fuck gamers in the ass before people finally figure out maybe they shouldn't keep paying these dirtbags?

I suspect it won't be long now before Metacritic starts censoring bad reviews.
