It feels like a lot of these companies have this sort of statement ready to go before launch, well aware that their product isn't really ready for market when they release. I'm sure people at the top decided to release like this and have patches instead of holding off until the game was ready.
Reading Blood Sweat and Pixels really opened my eyes to how nuts game development is (I recommend it to anyone interested in the process). It's also worth noting how young the industry is and how quickly, and in how many directions, it has expanded. Creating something as complex as a 'B' level game is is lot, let alone AAA. I'm not saying some of the larger companies couldn't do more. Just that cutting people some slack is ok. If I make a mistake in my job it isn't going to be for millions of people to see, and bash on social media.
I'm loving the free and paid DLC. I have been playing AC almost every day since it came out. This update has added so much it'll keep me going for a long time.
@AhabSpampurse It seems to be working now. There is a bit of a delay between me walking and the game picking up my steps. It seems right at the end of the day though.
@AhabSpampurse I'm an andriod user too. I installed Google Fit as requested by the game, and that's when I started having problems. It tracked my first 10 step as part of the intro. Once I added Google Fit it just stopped tracking me. Maybe my permissions are set up wrong.
@Dragonslacker1 My main issue with this type of game is getting lost and not knowing where to go. I know some people find that enjoyable but it's just frustrating to me. It's why I stopped playing Hollow Knight and a few others. I really wish there was a hints option in these games.
Dread is my first 2d Metroid game. I've played about an hour of it and I totally suck, but I'm enjoying it anyway. I hope sales will mean we get more Metroid games in the future.

Considering how well the Mario Lego is selling I'm surprised at this. It might be they already have other official Nintendo stuff in the works.
Re: Metroid Dread's UK Sales Momentum Points To A Big Moment For The Series
@Dragonslacker1 My main issue with this type of game is getting lost and not knowing where to go. I know some people find that enjoyable but it's just frustrating to me. It's why I stopped playing Hollow Knight and a few others. I really wish there was a hints option in these games.
