Crazycrab Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I think it's overburdening fetch quests. When a game thinks it's reasonable to ask the player to collect 20 Boar Skins and chop down 50 trees to make a quiver and a few arrows that's just taking the piss. Also Metal Gear Solid 2's entire plot. killamch89 and StaceyPowers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to appease their shareholders - they don't really care that much about the people that play their games as long as they spend their money.

Expand They simply know other gamers will simply come patronize them dmcos they are big fish in the gaming industry.

Justin11 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Its simply wrong to always find what's satisfying to you alone and not for those patronizing you. Because if it continuously happen, the customers will drop back which becomes shortage of customers. That's what some game devs don't know, they think is all about money, but they don't know quality is needed in their game at foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
