With the way games are these days...
By:Revenant1988
Date: 11/11/14 12:43 pm
In Response To: I wish I could say I was enjoying the MCC... (Moorpheusl9)

Needing day 1 patches (regardless of size).....

Needing to call home to their servers....

Everybody scrambling to be on, on day 1.....

So much online content at the expense of local play first....

I think I'm done with game launches in general. I had a pretty good experience with Destiny and I attribute that to having waited a few days after it went live. Waiting seems to have benefits now, as servers are overloaded on day one as loads are balanced.

I may go out and get it day one with friends because that's fun, but maybe not be so worried about playing it day one anymore.

I'm also done with the pre-order nonsense. It's not served me well in the last few years like it did 10 years ago.

Thanks, Dorkly.
