Both BF4 and COD rushed to market unfinished/unoptimized, should gamers protest?

So the problems with both of these games have been well documented on all platforms. Neither is up to the quality standards that it should be for full retail $60.

Apparently this had more to do with competition with each other than meeting console release deadlines.

Are gamers reinforcing this behavior by rushing out to buy these game despite the issues?

Should we protest and demand quality over deadlines/competition?

No because we are in the digital age already, so they will fix the game via a patch :manny:

Soon games will just get updated completely online, just like Killer Instinct will be
I wouldn't sweat it. And I bet you the next gen versions run smooth :mjpls:

I can understand games improving via patch. Or devs fixing some unforeseen problems after release. But in this case they are lowering their own quality standards just to beat another game to market.

After selling a million+ copies day one, they have no real insentive to go back and make the game the best it could be.

Well Battlefield 3 did just come out about 2 and a half months ago it seems. BF4 was definitely rushed to the scene.
But from what I've heard, its better than BF3 in every way. So I'm not mad
The Next gen versions look so :noah: I hope I can get everything by new years :damn:

BF4 probably should have had a proper beta, because that shyt they did was basically a 'demo'

ultimately people can "protest" by not buying that crap. too many people run out and drop $60 on some hype, and then cry later like someone did them wrong. wait for some reviews and try to resist the urge to buy every new game the moment it comes out

The graphics look good. But from what I've read the campaign is laughably short and the upgrades to MP are minimal.

COD stole cutscenes from itself :snoop:

I really don't think these games are worth the money.

Props. People should've protested Halo 4's launch. Server issues, people unable to play campaign, low map count for different modes etc. We still payed $60 for a overhyped game.

Battlefield 4 is the least of problems.

Can't stop your stanary can you?

An intermittent problem experienced by some users is not the same as releasing an unfinished/unoptimized game just to meet a deadline.

TLOU released with game crippling problems and was bricking people's consoles. But once again that's different than what has happened with BF4 and COD

Please try to stay on topic or go make your own thread if you'd like to proclaim your love for all things Sony.

Battlefield 3 was released 2 years ago. The reason it feels like it just came out is because the community never died and the game had DLC throughout it's entire span that kept people playing it.
