Talking Games Episode #35: The Games Are Here! 11/20/14

Great steering of the ship this week, Jacqui.

As for these new releases being busted, I think it's a shame that developers have to ship games that are broken just to meet a deadline, but I can completely understand it too. I imagine someone toiling for hours and hours over a random bug that people might not even see and that's taking that person's time away from other aspects of the game. It makes sense to let that bug go for now in order to meet a deadline or get a game out to the public. But I do feel like games being annualized should be called to question during this time and whether or not it's worth having an Assassin's Creed game every year if that means a sacrifice to quality. Given the response to Unity, I would say that is a resounding no.

However, I think what's even more egregious is the idea of the season pass. I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on whether or not you think season passes have gotten out of hand and how you feel about a game pushing its season pass when the core game still doesn't work properly (see: Driveclub)?
