#they also mentioned a splatoon 3 update at the direct today which i didnt have an issue with bc splatoon 3 is already a complete game

my guess is its a shitty way to promote longevity of a game and keep pirates out a little longer

i guess that makes sense i dont think updating games and adding new content after they came out is inherently bad but why are you releasing the game with an incomplete roster of characters or missing an entire gamemode and adding it later thats just. you just released an unfinished game is what you did

and thats just stuff i saw in the direct today one really bad example of this that comes to mind that wasnt from todays direct is animal crossing new horizons.. i dont really see people criticize this i even see people praise the update structure for acnh and act like its normal and some people got really mad when the regular updates ended ???? and thats probably because a large chunk of new horizons players have never played any of the other animal crossing games so they werent noticing all the missing content that was available from the start in past games or that regular updates arent a normal thing for animal crossing. and im not saying any of this because i hate new horizons i really do like it and ive put countless hours into it and im happy that the missing stuff got added in eventually but like. there is no denying that it was unfinished when it was first released

basically where i am going with this is why cant nintendo just release finished games stop with the updates adding in stuff that should have already been there. and if its an issue of not having enough time just delay it but i doubt its always a time problem considering acnh was delayed and still got released like that

#asks #like i said i dont think updates are inherently bad #they also mentioned a splatoon 3 update at the direct today which i didnt have an issue with bc splatoon 3 is already a complete game #any updates would just be adding cool extra stuff #my problem is companies intentionally releasing an unfinished game and adding in the rest of it as 'updates' #and back on the subject of animal crossing. animal crossing new leaf had a big update too back in the day #but thats not really the same as what they were doing with new horizons #because new leaf was already a finished game and it had one big update a few years later that added a bunch of cool extra stuff #the new horizons updates were adding things that should have been available from the start #and a lot of it WAS available from the start in past games
