@@lawrencetalbot8346They took major hits to their reputations before Cyberpunk everyone had unwavering faith in CD project red. Now? Not so much. Reputation in the gaming space affects your preorders, hype, and early sales. It’s not like they’re getting off Scott free. Most of these game/companies would of made significantly more money with no cost to their reputation if they’d released full quality

[@AccursedHawk]

I hate how we live in a time during gaming where we praise companies for fixing games that were absolute crap at launch whether being buggy messes or missing so much content...

[@spiritwolfe771]

Whether it’s how it should be or not if I had to choose I’d rather a company that will continue to fix it no matter what rather than put out slop, let it flop and then give up on it. A lot more respect for the dedicated than the quitters. I do feel like we underestimate how dead gaming would be right now if every developer gave up on a game that wasn’t enjoyable for the players or didn’t make them enough money.

[@bencarlson4300]

At least they fixed anything, they don’t have to since most of them already have your money.

[@derekwilhelm1555]

So its bad for a company to keep working on it and not give up on it thats a weird take

I feel like it's less about praise and more about "hey everyone, this game is actually pretty good now if you were looking to play it"

[@Christian_Sandoval]

Why do game companies get a hall pass for defrauding thousands of consumers for millions of dollars? Because of gamers saying stuff like "at least they fixed it and now there's one more good game in the world".

[@lamardoss]

It’s a sad day when we have to resort to games being “at least playable now.”

[@felixgarcia2184]

Yeah I thought the same. The fact we all collectively have been screwed by bad games so much that saying at least is playable is a plus sucks.

[@crisscrossam]

Especially way after their original release date. And then they just get to a point where they're abandoned completely after being "fixed" into a playable experience.

I also want to point out one thing you didn't mention for Dying Light 2. TechLand also changed and altered entire cutscenes, I can't think of many games that have done that. Remember all those times that Aiden gets sucker punch in a cutscene? They change some of those scenes entirely.

[@14mgod]

[@GreenSupreme.223]

​@@14mgodno. They lied about the story, which was half finished, they removed a bunch of things from the first game like guns, thrown weapons etc, and it was one of the buggiest games on launch. They cut everything made by Chris Avellone because of false sa allegations which was mostly story and choice based, and they lied about crossgen coop. Techland can gladly die.

[@acomingextinction]

That's true, I can't actually think of *any* other games that significantly changed story cutscenes through a post-release patch. That's serious commitment to your game.

[@dictatorofthecheese]

Another great comeback is State of Decay 2. I have over 1,000 hours in it, and played since launch in 2018. The launch version was fun for me, but I get why people were saying the things they were saying. Undead Labs buckled down and has been overhauling the game little by little every update. They even did a visual remaster where things looked a ton better, played better, and added new maps. Along with dlc which were included in this visual overhaul. In 2024 they’ve finally wound down support so the entire team can work on SoD3. My favorite comeback.

[@adrielcartwright9354]

Just started this today on Gamepass for the first time. I’m enjoying it so far.

[@shmodzilla]

The biggest issue is every update broke the prior update or never fixed it to begin with. I dont know how many times the release notes said "fixed blah blah" and within ten minutes i saw every "fix" still there broken. Last i layed they at least got the bloaters to stop spawningn in bases and on rooftops at least. I see the latest update you can drop rucks into outpost. That being said i have 1500 hours on it as well and would have never done so without the community editor. Had to use it for the longest time gifting myself back repair kits. You basically had a 60/50 chance of repairing a vehicle and it either worked or exploded and threw the vehicle across the map.

Lmfao I’m saying, but can’t blame them since they mostly talk about games and play them just enough to get a review out

[@JLogg444]

I also don’t really appreciate how every single game is chronically played on controller as well. Like, don’t get me wrong, it feels good to sit back and play games on a controller where it’s warranted and it fits the game (Spider-Man and the Star Wars games are good examples). But FPS games in general shouldn’t be using controllers and the review footage all has the same floaty and crazy low sensitivity look to them. Literally the only game on this list that doesn’t use controller is a 4X game that doesn’t support it

I know that Battlefield 2042 got TECHNICALLY fixed but the game still lacks a soul in the most obvious ways. The game never achieved its full potential because EA/Dice never really gave a F to it anyway. Let’s not even talk about Battlefield Portal which could’ve been their biggest redeeming point that they never acted on it

[@lobaandrade7172]

I agree about it not reaching its true potential, but idk what you’re talking about with the soul. If you watch or listen to anything the dev team has put out you’d see the love they have for the franchise and for 2042. And imo it’s more fun than the previous game

[@TheChrisLouis]

They couldn't figure out how to monetize portal so it was left behind.

[@sinenomine4540]

[@nak3dxsnake]

I don't even remember hearing of 2042 coming out. I've considered getting it still a few times but something just looks off about it too. I wish Dice understood they should release a new improved one. I wish Call of Duty would slow down and not release one every year.

Dice isn't dice. Something like 70% of the original devs of the franchise have migrated on.

[@KristianKumpula]

But it can't be truly fixed without a major overhaul of the main quest line. The pacing in particular sucks and it's missing the awesome set pieces that CDPR demonstrated they are capable of making when they finally released the DLC. It's as if they cut out random chunks of it and hastily tied together what's left. There's even a major questline that starts after the point where you're supposed to enter the point of no return. The latter isn't even in a task that can be delayed in a narratively justifiable way since it should be a quick and risk-free event.

[@AmazedBunion]

The best thing with the Ghost Recon Breakpoint upgrades, is that they were all optional. Smart move, because there were people who preferred to play it as Breakpoint instead of Wildlands. New controls etc. were also optional. UBI made sure they pleased both groups of players. UBI even added new difficulty options, so even casuals could play it basically in God Mode. Other developers would have removed the old system and replaced. Kudos to UBI for making it all optional. There is long lists of settings in this game...

[@LucasSchimmel]

I never thought there'd be the day Imperator Rome would people say "it wasn't so bad", a game I loved even I thought the mana system (it even got removed) was rough, and it needed a lot of quality of life updates.

[@Darkman9000]

Jedi Survivor is another example. While it wasn't completely broken and unplayable at the start, it had serious optimization issues and technical matters that put a lot of people off the game, far more than even the previous game, Fallen Order. Now, the game runs much better with far less hiccups and even some much needed options that weren't originally present back at launch.

[@SIDEWAYS255]

Here's one of my favorites. Nintendo spent several updates cracking down in glitches for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom while there was a known dangerous bug left in for months. If you put all the icons onto the map the game would bug out and start have graphical glitches that resulted in dangerous flashing lights that could easily harm someone sensitive to such things and cause seizures. But they prioritized removing enjoyable glitches FROM A SINGLE PLAYER GAME.

I've had a blast replaying dying light 2 with friends this year, really underrated game the combat and parkour are just top notch fun

[@zackbob6]

LOVED Outriders! Played the demo before launch and bought the game day 1. Finally played through it all the way with my fiance last summer. We had a blast!

[@ivandesiigner]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="870">14:30</a> well that statement hits different with whats happening with The Crew.

[@bastiwen]

Don't forget that in Dying Light 2 they also improved the gore system quite a bit and while it's not on the same level as Dead Island 2 it's still way better than what it was before.

[@Witchblood]

The punching bag of everybody, including those who didn't play it, and rightfully so

[@RichardKutz]

Baldo has been fixed as well. It's fun to play now. The story's ending is still a slap in the face, though.

[@tomzimny7408]

Breakpoint was dope. I put a lot of hours into it and had a blast.

[@lobaandrade7172]

Same. I have almost 500 hours and I still find myself going back

[@quinnmarchese6313]

nothing beats getting some friends together and doing some perfectly coordinated sync shots. i just wish it were more fun as a singleplayer

[@knowledgeadams1150]

Remember when games came out and it was just good. No updates, no bugs to get fixed. Nothing. Just a good time and we knew what we were getting.

[@TDNComedy]

Shoutout to for honor. An experience unlike any other. Incredibly unique game with constant updates the servers are strong and the player base is large and steady. Tons of characters new game modes better balancing (not perfect) deserves their flowers. The development team is dedicated and very connected to the community

[@tristandefriese]

while it was and is a unique game the player base is not large 3000 daily players is extremely small (even more so for a AAA game) and the game hasn't had a large player base since 2019, in terms of updates 70 percent of the updates from the past 4 years are all minor patches and bug fixes the rest are just adding heroes and other minor gameplay changes so while they are technically constant they only release actually decent updates once a year the last good update was 2.29.0

[@SynthetikzDoPe]

Cyberpunk 2077 made such an unbelieveable comeback with 2.0 and the patches after. the game now feels insanely good to play

[@jacobboland2026]

finally got into F76 after refusing to play it. I've been loving it. when 4 came out i was playing through it when my oldest kid was born and now hes running around appalachia with me and his younger brother. i paid my younger boy 500 caps for some steel he had. he was so excited.😁

[@sunkanmiotitolaye9354]

I was fully expecting those two to be top two but it's glad to know there are other games out there with the same redemption arc

[@remeokits]

Thano you for the tips.

[@greggriffin4462]

The problem with "fixing" the night in DL2, and honestly the reason the nights aren't scary, is because they force you to go out in the dark so often in the early game. In DL1 you could play the vast majority of the game only in the day time. If you force me to go out it, it can't be as scary.

[@_The1whoknocks]

Dying Light 2 also completely changed the way the enemies look. They now look far more realistic rather than the bland cartoonish look that they had at launch. This was huge for me as they are always rift in your face throughout the entire game. More companies should follow suit rather than just giving up once people hate the game.

[@RayvenTheNight]

Remember back in day when games were actually finished when they got released?

[@EvelynnWinters2000]

Darktide is so fun now It has it's issues, but it's so fun. Main issue is the RNG based item system which they're supposedly fixing in the next couple updates

[@nevafails6185]

Dying light 2 should get an award for the degree of effort they put in . I didn’t like it at all in the beginning and now it’s one of my favorite games! I’m so glad I gave it another chance after I seen all the updating they were doing

[@mixedcompany3225]

Thank god Jake mentioned the outer worlds! When I went to replay it after getting an Xbox I was dumbfounded how it ran worse than on my ps4. This makes perfect sense now!

[@sfreemanoh]

I do want to say, Halo Infinite in co-op was a ton of fun straight out of the gate. Jake seemed to focus more on the PvP gameplay, which is fine, but the two modes are very different. It also sucks that the campaign seemed to end on a cliff-hanger that was pretty clearly setting up additional DLC content, which is probably never going to happen.

[@ninjabiatch101]

I'm glad there was a shoutout for No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk. Because those games man.... wow.

[@J_C_CH]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="873">14:33</a> "If you gotta give it to Ubisoft for anything, it's that they generally don't abandon their games" Rainbow Six Extraction would like a word with you.

[@TheBamaChad-W4CHD]

And ah old Outrider. I remember getting it at launch on Stadia. I was so hyped and then.....it launched and was just not good. I remember taking out several bosses like they were nothing and then getting owned and totally stuck trying to beat the normal baddies to progress and they just could not be defeated by me. I tried for several days and even rolled a new character. It didn't do anything different from one character to the next. The combat looked different but was exactly the same in reality lol

[@troydorr4867]

I absolutely love Ghost Recon, especially GR Wildlands. I couldn't get into playing GR Breakpoint. Why, they messed with the formula from GR Wildlands to GR Breakpoint, I simply don't understand. They should have just expanded on the Wildlands template.
