No since early access exists. Nintendo is just stuck in the past

>release game in early access
>take 7+ years to "release" the "finished" 1.0 build
>it's literally still just an early access game under the guise of being advertised as fully released
Benjamin Wood
No.
Ian Peterson
I'm still waiting for a good game made by him.
Gabriel Clark
God I hate early access.
Imagine being so fucking stupid you pay someone for a demo.
Parker Brooks
Duke Nukem Forever proved otherwise, I think.
Sebastian Brown
sure worked for FFXV.
Dylan Scott
Imagine also buying cosmetics and shit from the cash shop they'll inevitably create thinking it'll help fund the game to completion within your lifetime.

depnds......How much time did it passed before the Halo MC Collection was in playable state??
Elijah James
4 years I think
Nicholas Reed
It was never true.
Easton Brown
Delays work for Japanese developers. Not so much Western developers.
Carson Fisher
No Man's Sky is still trash so yes.
Noah Moore
Not when Nintendo themselves is guilty of it now. Look at Animal Crossing.

No, there are plenty of counterexamples on both counts. It's not even uncommon for games to be bad BECAUSE they've been stuck in development hell where the devs have had time to partially redesign the game lots of times, rendering it an incoherent mess and just bad, while rushing the game out at an earlier stage probably would have made it unpolished jank but at lest sound in terms of design. Duke Nukem Forever, one of the most infamously delayed games, seems like a good example (from what I've heard, I didn't play it personally). Conversely, there are games that were released (under "early access" moniker or otherwise) at an early stage but that were eventually fixed. That, too, is pretty common. Putting aside obvious examples in some of the early access success stories, you could list games like The Witcher (Enhanced Edition mostly fixed it) or Warhammer: Total War (in addition to the more general level of fixes, pretty much all factions have been reworked in patches such that original lords on factions that haven't had their reworks are almost unplayably dull).

What kind of sucker pays for an unfinished product?

oh the irony

How come Miyamoto didn't follow his own advice when he rushed Wind Waker out onto Gamecube?

Zoom zooom ZOOOOOOOOMMM
Sebastian Davis
>game gets delayed
>game gets completely fucked gutted
>game comes out worse than if they just shoved it out the door and fixed it later
no
Carter Watson
No Miyamoto game suffer from this
Zachary Russell
He wanted to get that sewage out of the pipeline so that they could focus on the real Zelda game, Twilight Princess.
Mason Lopez
Because he didn't do wind waker.
Gabriel Davis
it used to be back when DLC couldn't fix it
i remember the dumpster fires that were the launches of Final Fantasy XIV and No Man Sky
then one of them relaunched to fan and critical acclaim and the other, despite the whole shit storm behind it still manage to somehow get their shit together and not completely shit the bed down the line
Ayden Hernandez
I mean at this point every game's delayed so the point's kinda moot
Jaxson Taylor
>"can" be
Nolan Sullivan
Eat shit
John Sanders
If the people are competent, which is a hard thing to say in the current video game industry.
Also if they are actually working on the game and not funneling money in pockets if they have an incentive where not releasing the game continues to bring in revenue, like fan funded games and early access.
What a retard, he pays full price for unfinished products, with the empty promise that it will be done later, but with no real legal obligation.
PT Barnum would have loved guys like you.
Lucas Watson
Who are you quoting? Not one person said that.
Michael Hall
>is forever bad
...unless we slowly release that "additional content" as "free updates" that make us seem generous while also occasionally generating additional hype about the game to keep it "hot" in the market!!!!
Colton Peterson
Depends on how long it's delayed. A game that never comes out is also forever bad.
