I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol

Biggest concerning signs:

  1. 30 FPS lock on xbox, there's no way to spin that positively, absolute fail

  2. Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they're actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)

  3. Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs

  4. Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

Diablo 4 seems finished on release. Also Hogwarts and Elder Ring

But someone will always unhappy.

Yeah but D4 also had a known issue, where when you log off with your hardcore character it just dies because of a server bug (error code 316009).

Excuse the bird-page, but here is an example.

Was this fixed?

I wasn't actively tracking it, but the latest I could find in the blizzard forums was six day ago.
The last patch note I stumbled upon was on June 9th. So my educated guess would be no.

But hey, at least they fixed some issues with the in-game shop. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm looking forward to FFXVI myself, loved the demo, it's shaping up to be a pretty good release.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Outlast Trials also released finished and polished (even if it is still Early Access). Though i guess that game is not big enough to count

Hogwarts had/have some absolutely horrendous preferences issues and lag spikes and some bugs where the world doesn't load throwing you into the void.
