I found it kinda funny how in the Cutscene after the 2nd boss, the Erichthonios guy describes the boss of this gym Hesperos as a kind and supportive person, while in the shot of him that they show as Erich speaks, he smirks villainously and gives off mad Albert Wesker vibes lol. And then appears in person looking like Wesker cosplaying Dracula from Castlevania.
Big true. All the props to the absolute Chad that made dsfix. If not for him, Iâd not have gotten into dark souls until 2, if not 3.
it is significantly easier to build new decorations for a cake than it is to make one from scratch, mind
I can only say yes
Very true, however, as far bugs go, thatâs what the QA/testers are for. And even then it is usually a management issue, more so than competency of an individual dev/tester.
A lot of that will likely come down to management, yeah - some minor bugs might not be considered worth the dev time it would take to diagnose and fix the problem, or are being held to fix a bunch of issues in a patch, or other things I donât know enough about the development or business sides of games to know.
It does get egregious with some companies, naming no Bethesdas in particular
Looks at the State of QA testing/how the industry has been (mis)treating QA staff for years
Yeeeah, about thatâŚ
Iâve only recently started learning this stuff and itâs pretty much as you say. Bugs prioritized by their severity/danger and itâs not really done out of laziness/malice (in theory), based on how much it will cost to fix them, among other things. Sometimes it is donât to present a fix as a feature, which is a bit 
.
Most important thing to understand is that there is no such thing as a 100% bug free software. Such simply doesnât exist with anything moderately complex, especially if weâre talking about a game that is being constantly updated. Someone more knowledgeable could correct me and elaborate in detail though.
And as you mention, Bethesda really is one of the worst offenders as they have the temerity to release games in pretty much literally unplayable condition. Fallout 76.
Which seems to be mostly a video game industry specific problem, as other software companies (business apps/websites) donât seem to have such a dire problem. Generally speaking.
When I hear development stories I am convinced they are engaging in sorcery, especially when they all have stories like âthis smiley face drawn on the other side of a wall to a player can never be accessed, but if we delete it then the entire source code bricksâ
Or âall the players disappeared from the football game until we zoomed in and found them, still in formation, all contained inside the footballâ
Spriggan has my Dark Red Dye in my actual price range.
IDK what the hellâs going on with the other servers.
When the product that is going through QA is intended for entertainment, testing it can be seen as a âprivilege.â Itâs the same sort of âyou just play games for a livingâ sneering that online media personalities are subjected to. Of course itâs a million times more complicated than that, but that doesnât stop executives from targeting QA first when theyâre looking to cut costs.
https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/cyberpunk-designer-responds-to-lack-of-police-chases-elden-ring-wont-have-them-either/
Cyberpunk 2077 quest director Pawel Sasko has provided a response as to why the game doesnât feature police chases.
When asked why the game doesnât feature police chases on a recent live stream, instead opting for police to spawn behind you randomly, the developer pushed back on the idea that âallâ open-world games have these encounters, citing some examples. âI donât think that the Sonic or the Elden Ring open-world game will have itâ.
ugh, starting to get the gifted child curse in computer games now
what do you mean i canât just as easily be good in certain things any more???
really have been feeling like my reaction times and speed are degrading and im not even a quarter of a century yet, and recognising this curbs the gifted child mentality in me aughhh
Ah yes, the only two other open world titles in gaming history
Sonic the Hedgehog and Bloodborne-with-a-Horse
Brandon Sanderson writing for a video game based on a new IP, announcement next year, seems like itâs a bigger studio too 
Hey man, I felt something similar recently. I donât know how close we are in age, but just keep going at it and eventually old habits will come back, I was garbage at any FPS despite being pretty good at them until I grinded out a few games. It snapped back into the old groove afterwards little by little.
