Kinda disappointed stealth was nerfed in Horizon, also an item farming spot was made to not spawn so much.

I mean these aren't glitches, they're changing game design.

Can't even uninstall and download again because game needs fully updated to work with save data.

They are changing the game design as it was intended to be.

But where's the reasoning for a company to do it? I mean we aren't talking about artists here.

It's almost like the game has a form of progression that is broken and not as intended. The game wasn't designed like that so they're making it so people play it in line with a way they envisioned.


Yes, that's what is happening.

But would they care it's not being played as intended, and go further to spend the money to change it?

Working in a team is great! It always helps to have someone else to blame.

Because maybe some people love and are proud of a game they designed and spent years designing and want it to be exactly what they want, no matter the cost?

would you guys be cool with bands going back and re-writing songs every time someone got meaning out of them that wasn't the writer's original intent?

If Bethesda told me that constant crashes and game breaking bugs were part of their original vision and company philosophy I would 100% believe them because at this point it's the only explanation.

i don't download single player patches w/o knowing what they do. i never would have downloaded the fallout 4 patch that changed survival mode to a shitty version if it wasn't for dlc.

never patched farcry primal where they made it so your unique tames can die permanently and skills costs more. im not interested in grinding alot more to get the same skills.
