Just.. Why?

Because people are impatient and want the game now.

Combo of lazyness and pushy publishers. 

 

Optimization.

This too

Because of pre-ordering.

 

They already have their money from people pre-ordering so they have no need to release a finished product. Then when sales start to dip they release a patch which brings in a second wave of customers.

Far Cry 4 isnt terriblely optimized 45-60 fps with DSR and pretty much everything maxed on a single 970. Then there is unity.... :angry:

Lazy devs, pushy publishers, impatient gamers, corporate bullsh*t... mix the those and you've got yourself an incomplete game being sold for 60USD + DLCs + microtransactions...

Somehow DSR makes the game looks.worse. Its kinda blurry.

Yea.. That's true. Do u play metro last light?

I think it have one of the best game engine so far. It looks so nice. The texture is so detail. But its still not heavy at all. Why don't they learn from them

U should try the metro last light redux. That's a very nice game to play

If I find the time... I'm a bit swamped with schoolwork and several games and books right now...

Hhmm.. The blurr is quite noticable on my monitor.

I've never used it anymore till now.

How do u set the DSR? Maybe i can try

except the majority of preorders comes from consoles. And the devs dont get a cent from preorders until the games released.

....??? Why?

People who pre-purchase on Steam are giving their money to the developers IIRC

The certification process of games to Sony and MS basically negate what you hypothesize. A game can't be shipped on console if it doesn't pass certification from Sony and MS. So no, you're wrong, once pre-orders are in they don't just decide "fuck it, ship it in the state its in, we got the cash anyways". This would jeopardize the submission process, which by the way runs in the hundreds of thousands to submit to Sony and MS. Failing submission means delays (it takes 2-4 weeks for the certification process) and keeping devs longer on the project (more costs).

 

The same goes with patches. They can't just "decide" to patch if sales "sag" there is an approval process before it can be pushed out.

Just.. Why?

Because publishers push for the games to be released and the devs aren't ready. It happened with Total War Rome 2.

Because back in the day before online gaming games where released and that was it..nothing could be done to fix them. Now games are bigger and better they need a bit more tlc and patches allow the developers to do so.
