Can Developers Make Mistakes?

J. Cosmo writes: Forgive and forget, that's my motto. Its worked well, too. Holding grudges brings conflict, and I'm a mellow guy -- conflict isn't my forte. Sure, I give anyone I know a "do-over," but do developers get the same treatment?

I believe Cosmo was asking it more as a, "When a developer makes a mistake, will the public forgive them" sort of way, not just a general "Is it possible for them to make a mistake."

I don't wanna be giving them hits if that picture's only used as baiting.

How about read the article instead of going straight to comments

He isnt targeting the game, he needs an example and he used it

... We all make mistakes, It's what makes us Human.

That's what game patches are there for, to correct the issues.

FantasyStar5689d ago

While I agree that game patches are there to address the "mistakes". It seems this-gen, developers are making far more mistakes versus last-gen. I like convenience of online patches, but I don't want developers to get lazy as a result of it.

Unicron5689d ago (Edited 5689d ago )

Gamers are also asking for far more complex games, full of complex visuals and systems, yet on a similar if not shorter time table than the past. More content = more chances for things to break. Compared to how big games are today, well, the amount of "mistakes" made I feel are relatively trivial most times.

No game is perfect, and even devs that care will miss something. I think a big issue is in the past, gamers used to look upon glitches as a matter of nerdy pride when found. Now with the advent of forums and sites like Gamefaqs, they have turned into more of a negative light.

I think there are too many patches this gen....I would rather get a game finished and not have these patches or even DLC (Assassin's Creed 2 DLC was meant to be missions in the full game). If a developer continuously makes mistakes there reputation goes down but the odd mistake here and there isn't to bad

Trroy5689d ago (Edited 5689d ago )

Most patches involve multiplayer, which is pretty hard to test thoroughly without thousands of players. You can't afford to pay thousands of players to play your game, unfortunately. Most beta testers don't even do their jobs -- they just play the betas as free demos, and never report issues.

Either you deal with patches, or you don't ask for complicated multiplayer, that's the bottom line.

bad motto if you ask me.
to forgive is one thing, but i never forget.

MRHARDON5689d ago

Lol

Yes, devs can make mistakes.....look at IW's MW2

JAguilar5689d ago

What is really annoying is when the video game series is yearly released but still shipped with the same issue.

Please release the ICO games on PC...

Inverno443d ago

I would love the remasters and Last Guardian on PC. Insta buy if I could get em on GOG. Just knowing I would have access to these games without them being tied to an aging console I'd buy em up again in a heartbeat.

Profchaos443d ago

SimpleDad443d ago

Thank You Shu... please ICO on modern platforms, please!

Good-Smurf443d ago

SimpleDad443d ago

Redemption-64443d ago

I absolutely love this game and it breaks my heart it sold poorly

LG_Fox_Brazil443d ago

This game made a huge impact on me, the friendship beetween the boy and Trico reminded me of my old stubborn dog that was my friend when I was a kid.

The first game that ever made me cry, I love it

I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.

banger88856d ago

That's amazing, Gamingbolt actually put all 15 games on the same page.

shinoff2183855d ago

I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.

persona4chie854d ago

There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
