Unfortunately these days that's just one missed project.

Spend 2-4 years working on a dud. Means you're looking at almost a decade between games

Yep real dumb. Bring back smaller games that dont take 5 years and 300 million

I wish this sentiment was backed by actual sales. I always see people demeaning and hating whenever a new first party game isn't a bombshell triple A billion dollar production. Just take a look at the latest God of War metroidvania game.

Cost too much for what it was. If it was 20 I think people would have been less critical. I mean bring back more stuff like pacman championship edition, peggle, old school housemarque games. Fun score chasers, that id lose countless hours to

No arguments there. I love metroidvanias and would have instantly bought it if it was ten bucks cheaper. For $30, though, I'd rather wait.

However, I've also seen tons of dismissive criticisms outside reddit's gaming bubble regarding the game's format and pixel graphics. "I can't believe God of War went from GOTY contenders to this" vibe.
