At the risk of sounding elitist, I think a lot of video game reviewers don't care that much about the core mechanics. That goes for most players too. Most of what I read was a bunch of complaints that there's no customisation or meaty career mode.
Yet, the driving feels so good, the AI so interesting and the game itself is so good well-balanced that it's almost uncanny. In my opinion, anyway.
Those who wrote about the actual rac...
It wasn't broken when I reviewed it. For most purpouses, it broke when it was released to the general public. Thought it was a solid 8/10 when I reviewed it. Think it is a solid 8/10 now. The weather definitely adds to the experience, though. I don't think rain has ever been done that well before.
People tend to doubt things that are far away, often rightfully so. I remember reading articles about how PS3 was going to be Sony's last console, but here we are.
We'll see, I think :)
Cheers to the dualshockers moderator for shutting down the PC VS Console debate on the site. THANK YOU.
@cgoodno
I'm more inclined to agree with you now that you've included those two points, which exclude a lot of delayed games.
Then again, the second point means that the game has had a failed release, and it's possible to argue that all failed releases are due to mismanagement, whether the failure can be attributed to the publisher or the developer. If your stance is (I'm being hypothetical here) that failed releases are unacceptable, then won't e...

In case I was unclear the first time, I specified the second time around. It wasn't my intention to say that most IT projects are delayed or that it's common for them to be delayed by a whole year, but it happens in IT more so than in most other businesses.
Note that my comment was made in the context of being a reply to Septic. It adresses his comments, and more specifically it was meant to adress "how they thought they could be ready for launch...

It's what you feel is the case in your job versus decades of empiricial research. It's not the same for all businesses or industries, but for the industry as a whole, delays are frequent and budgets are blown often.
Regarding my lecturers, I'd rather take their word -- and the research they're citing -- than someone on the Internet, any day of the week. No offense.
And to reiterate, I never said it was the standard. I said it...
@cgoodno
Oh. Guess my lecturers were either wrong or lying then.
Seriously, though, and to be a little more specific. It's not typical IN IT, but typical FOR IT Projects. Meaning that specifically IT projects have more delays than other projects.
A whole year might not be the standard, but there's something called Chaos Theory in IT, which reflects how incredibly many projects are delayed or end up exceeding their budget.
Would love a new DMC. With new Dante. DmC 2: Devil May Fry
@Regarding the delay, that's pretty typical for IT projects and game development. Suddenly you hit a bug that requires changes throughout the entire system, and before you know it, you have several months of extra work ahead of you.
C# is my favorite language, but it's pretty easy to beat when it comes to optimisation.
One important reason why C# and Unity have become so popular is because we now have immensely powerful hardware that can tackle games like Crysis 3, while we also buy less demanding indie games like Teslagrad and Hearthstone (both of which are written in C#, using Unity). In other words, indie developers can afford to waste some power.
C# is a high level language like ...
Wow, 3DS...
Doge of war.
Such war. Much wow.
Very Q2 2014.
How has Sony become a better company fellowing those events? By not including Linux from the beginning?
Also, one thing is arguing that they're better now than then, another thing entirely is arguing that the attack is what caused it.
Ah, lame.
Lizard Squad I mean, are lame.
Now that's comedy.
Hey, media!
You get that this is pretty much terrorism, right? Threatening illegal actions that affect large amounts of people? So maybe don't hype these guys up.
Report about what's happening, but don't give them a voice.
I tried the Gamescom demo, and I can definitely see why everyone was putting it down. Here's hoping it's improved since then.
And phones! Their phones are awesome now.
Ha! We literally got a user named "Protagonist" with an avatar with silver hair to answer that.
Well done, Internet. Well done.
