From playing video games, I'm going to say that generally games are more reliable today than they were in 2005, and I recall a few absolute fucking howlers from the 90s and 2000s (looking at you, Digimon World!)
My comparison points: Fallout 3 being a shitshow of bugs on release vs Final Fantasy 7 Remake & Rebirth feeling practically bug-free on release. In fact, I don't think I hit any bugs in Final Fantasy 16 either.
- zargon 1y agoRest assured, Bethesda’s next release will be another bugfest. Not exactly a useful comparison.
- scott_w 1y agoThey probably will but they’re the comparisons I have to hand and, let’s be honest, this entire discussion is based on anecdotes.
- troupo 1y agoOn the other hand you didn't have "download this multigigabyte patch on day 1" because once burned to a CD it was there forever. Same for "you haven't touched your game console? here's 200 gigabytes of updates at 200kb/s"
- scott_w 1y agoHaving had a PS4 and a PS5, I’d say even this has improved.
