        1. Overpromise

        2. Sell

        3. Shut the fuck up during the outrage

        4. Update game

        Seemed like a winning formula for them.

        They also created reputation for themselves full releasing incomplete games and then only fixing it years later.

        So now gamers will learn. Don’t buy that games until about 4 to 5 years after release.

          Except I’ve seen people all over the place getting hyped for LNF because those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

        It’s both a huge claim and an unimportant one, and that’s why it’s a problem.

        Claiming you have “taller than Mt. Everest” mountains in your game is easily verifiable, and a ton of work. Because you need a map that fits a mountain that size, and need to do all the artwork, make it an interesting place to be. It’s not impossible, just a lot of work.

        At the same time, it’s not very important. When I’m looking for a next game, I don’t care how high the mountains are. I want an interesting place. Skyrims High Hrotgar for example is an interesting place with an interesting story. It felt very high and a long walk (7000 steps), but it probably pales in comparison to Mt. Everest.

        So promise us a great story, interesting characters, or challenging gameplay. A good game, not a technical masterpiece that will be empty.
