I agree

Hear hear. All in favor, say "I".

I agree, simply because I love story rich games. However, not every game is needed to be story rich. Sometimes, you just want a simple, cute platformer. Sometimes, you want a co op game with friends. Every game style has its purposes.

That's why I loved Quantum Break so much.

Yeah, release dates can totally mess up games; Sonic '06, for example.

Gotta love The Last of Us

Yes, but... Devs should:
• Establish reasonable, attainable goals with semi ridged deadlines.
• Communicate with the fanbase to keep their interest and trust. THROUGH PR.
• If the game isn't ready, say so and why. Apologise for the delay. Tell the fans that you respect them to much to give them a broken game.
• If you over extended, are behind and need to cut material to make a reasonable release... cuts that the fans know about... apologise again and give it back to them in FREE DLC patch updates. Save the paid DLC for the expansions.

The story doesn't matter as much to ne when it takes them 2.5 million years to friggin' release the game

This is why Im forever in love with Silent Hill

>implying release dates aren't often related to contractual obligations

something tells me its not that simple

Hold the fuck up not focusing on multiplayer is how you end up with games like call of duty, it's equally important

depends on the genre sometimes ya know, party games in example while sometimes a cool story would be nice not always the focus.

I just realized that this is kind of ironic because The Last of Us actually has a really good multiplayer.

and character models.

I love Naughty Dog <3

"Don't worry about release dates" name one game that had a release date pushed back that made the game great. And don't say no man's sky because that's not out yet
