"There used to be this story: we're not sure if it is true. It theorised that Bill Gates earned so much money so quickly that if you piled it all up underneath him and sat him on top, then pushed him off, he would never hit the ground. The pile would be so high that should he fall, in the time it would take him to descend he would earn enough money to cushion the blow. And then when he fell off that new pile he would earn enough again to cushion the next blow. And so forth forever: because Bill Gates' rich pasty arse will never, ever, come back down to Earth." - from gameplayer

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
I'm going to take a guess and say SlappingOysters A.K.A chris stead submitted this..
He's like HHG with these ridiculous headlines.
If it's not him, by all means, take my bubbles !
Oh, for a second I thought this story was going to be about Microsoft getting a Monster Hunter exclusive. Was just about to see some options for a 360.
Anyway, who knows and to be fair it could work rather well. I mean the Xbox 360 is stated as being a social gaming machine and from the previous E3 that most witnessed their are things tacked onto the 360 to make it more so. Monster Hunter is a pretty much a game where you should at least be social, otherwise it will be quite a while to get through the ranks by yourself.
Though I cannot fully answer as to why Microsoft hasn't gotten it. Maybe because the 360 isn't as popular as the Wii in Japan to which it got Monster Hunter Tri~. Then again their was an article from Capcom that stated "Never say never for Monster Hunter PS3." So could the same be said for the Xbox 360 if they made it a port?
This story is about why HASN'T MS bought a Monster Hunter Exclusive.
i don't ever see monster hunter going to the 360 just being honest
that's like putting dragon quest on the 360
it would just be a silly thing to do since those games only sell in japan everyone where else not really so much
