I for one am shocked that a publisher called “Game Mill” is known for pumping out a ton of shitty games in a short time with little care for the developers of the game.

That’s the publisher who took the devs who made Slap City and instead had them put out NASB. The schedules + enforcements they put on devs is atrocious.

Overworked and underpaid. It’s like every single business in the world suddenly decided that they could simply employ fewer people, pay them less, and charge more for their products. I can only hope that it comes to bite them all in their collective asses sooner rather than later.

I’ve been a Bethesda fanboy since Morrowind and didn’t buy Starfield. 😥

I didn’t buy Starfield cause bathesda doesn’t want my money or my fan love, since I’m a PlayStation user. All those years of loyalty and they fucked us PlayStation players. We are literally standing here with our money in hand but bathesda doesn’t want it.

We the consumers allowed this. I used to pay $70 for a new game, complete and tested, finished. Now you’re paying $80 for an unfinished lower tier, and the actual finished game is sold for $150 under a “deluxe edition” bullshit name. And even the deluxe will be filled with bugs and be basically unplayable for a year

$70. A game on the N64 cost only $40. The PS4 and XBox One X even had $60 games they advertised 4K gaming.

The N64 was almost 30 years ago, doubling in price since then is reasonable

I can’t wait for Dunkey to review this.

All they had to do was copy the Hulk ultimate destruction and replace Hulk with a gorilla. The worst part of this King Kong game is that it kills the scale of Kong by having him running around a jungle. He looks like a regular sized gorilla

I don’t want to shit on the devs here, but i don’t understand how the game can still be that shit. I don’t know too much about game development and all, but if you watch some youtubers making a videogame that looks way better than this in 4 or so days, it does raise some questions, or not. If you look at footage of this game it looks like you have to try really hard to make something this bad in a whole year. Also the game is a bit over 2 hours long, and it’s not like they spend all their time on a non existing story and it’s 30 dollars.

Overworked dev -> Less concentration -> Less attention to details and creativity -> Shit game

I get that, but let’s assume they didn’t atart the project overworked. The design itself is laughable, the movement is theown together by someone in a day. There is nothing special about it. No manteling or anything. Combat is nothing special. There are just a few assets in the game and they are really bad. And it’s an unreal game, and if you’ve seen people working with unreal who know what they are doing, most of tthe shit they cobbled together could be done in one day by one developer. And at the end someone looked at it and said: yeas, 30 dollars

Don’t forget lack of care. They may not give a shit about the end product if they’re getting treated like crap. Or the company hired devs on the cheap who wouldn’t ask questions and just rushed forward with whatever was asked from product/design.

It’s not just that, programming features takes a huge chunk of time and it’s either 3 months to implement or 3 days to implement with 3 months of bug fixing
