    The DOS version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was missing a platform in the third zone, and literally couldn’t be beaten.

    Sometimes the ability to patch is good.

      Ya but there’s too much. Now we have games getting out half-finished because they know they can patch it later after the public pays full price too beta test it.

        It’s almost like there’s good and bad parts.

        But beforehand a bad game was bad forever. Now it can be fixed.

        Cyberpunk was a buggy mess at launch, but they did eventually fix it and make a solid game.

          It’s rare when a company fixes a bad game.

          Has The Lord of the Rings: Gollum been patched into a good game?

            I don’t buy games until they’re good. No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk were both games I waited years to buy.

              They’re also rare exceptions. Most games that suck at launch are forever sucky, even if they’re improved somewhat.

            Then just don’t play that game LMAO, like bad games are launched from time to time and we should learn to ignore them and move on to play the good games.

              If your solution is “just don’t play a bad game” then you have no reason to complain about old bad games either.

              “Just don’t play them”

        And once it’s sufficiently patched being angry about spending three years with an unfinished game is considered toxic entitled gamer behavior and you’re supposed to pretend like it didn’t happen.
