Every thread whines about how stupid or poorly made every game is in here even the AAA titles. So much complaining about even Mario Kart or Smash Bros or Hyrule Warriors. The amiibo boards are all hateful and the wiiu suggestion board is just bashing Sonic and Watch Dogs. Is everyone 11-14 years old and in puberty in here getting all upset over such things
That's because most games ARE poorly made, ESPECIALLY the AAA titles.
A sickeningly large majority of developers though their games in worse and worse states with the mindset of "we'll fix it later" and use paying customers as beta testers. It's even worse when you're going the Capcom/Ubisoft route of cutting out parts of your games and selling it later. It's not good enough and it shouldn't even happen, but it does and the worst part is, people are thinking "it's normal" and defending all this pure laziness, making the this sorta crap worse.
There WAS a time where you could't update games. If you bought a game and it was literally unplayable (like an increasing number of games these days) that game would fail. Games got released in a condition where they HAD to be fully playable and bugs/glitches had to be at a complete minimum. I still expect games to be of this quality on release when I'm paying the sorts of prices they ask, not to have to find all the bugs and glitches for them. I'm not a friggin' beta tester, I'm a customer.
Hell, the only real glitches I EVER remember coming across at all when I was younger was 'Missingno' in Pokemon and I actually had to purposely do that myself. These days I run into glitches all the bloody time without looking for them at all.
I don't have a problem with Smash or Mario Kart...Possibly because I missed out on any 'game breaking' problems due to Europe getting things later.
I like Hyrule Warriors, but in a thread asking about 'suggestions about WiiU games' I'm obviously going to throw out my opinion that I also think it's really repetitive, easy and not a game I can play for longer than an hour at a time. It's called "giving an honest opinion", and you can do that whilst also saying you like the game.
In the case of Amiibo when talking about Smash, it's probably because they were hyped up to seem like "the greatest thing ever" only to fall short of that by a long shot. People are going to bash them and throw hate around, especially if they've thrown money at these things that were advertised as something 'groundbreaking'.
I could go into vast detail about Watch_dogs, but the game doesn't deserve more than a fart noise and a middle finger salute. It doesn't help that the company behind them are arguably worse than EA (I could write an essay on everything wrong with Ubisoft).
I praise things when I think they're worth praising. I complain if something's bad/a lot worse than advertised and I've likely spent money on it.
