That's not totally true anymore when you have access to an update system as part of the platform. No Man's Sky is one example.
- Nadya 7y agoIt matters for the same reason first impressions matter. It's a lot harder to succeed in a relationship with someone if you start off on the wrong foot. I know many others, and myself, who won't be playing Fallout:76 or No Man's Sky because both games were colossal train wrecks on launch that over-promised (or over-hyped) and under-delivered. It doesn't matter much if these issues are eventually fixed, most of the player base will have already moved on. Some many go back and try it out when they hear "it's better now" but many won't. The games will be remembered poorly by most people, even if they eventually do become good and that is what the quote means.
- drilldrive 7y agoOn this note, even when the game "is better now" to a new-comer the game almost always still possesses the characteristic flaws that it always did, albeit muted in the new release. At least this has been my experience in such matters.
- RIMR 7y agoI mean, I bought that game a long time, and only bothered to look up what features they have recently brought to the table. They only brought multiplayer support a couple months ago. Honestly, this was one of those too little too late kind of things.
