Repeat after me: Platinum is not a japanese jewish scheme ht

Platinum has 300 employees, release 1 game every 3 years and their games have 3 hours of gameplay
What do they do with the money they receive?

I would assume the fault lies with Squenix. They very clearly ran out of money during development so without additional funds there's no way they could support the game after release, especially with how the jews at Sony charge you out the ass for each patch.

because they make money off of it

>>382948452
They should feel obligated to pay for fixes for a title they made possible and released, but regardless of that, the fucks changed the developer name on Steam to be under them so as far as I see it they're solely responsible for all the issues in the game

>>382948362
This is about the PC port. Also, it's a million-seller worldwide across both platforms, there's no excuse.

>>382947828
what should they patch?

>>382949147

crashing

>>382949059
I'm not saying that there is an excuse, but the fault lies with Square Enix as all of the money from sales goes to them and they are the ones who pay Platinum to sit down in their office and work on the game.

>>382949147
The shitty resolution, you've got to use FAR if you want to get 1080p

Serves him right, he trusted a Platinum game not directed by Kamiya

>>382947828
Platinum does what they're paid to do. If they're not paid to patch it, they won't.

>>382948362
>sony charges you for patches
Wasn't that microsoft?

>>382949723
Yes. That guy is just dumb.

>>382949723
They both do. No doubt Nintendo does too.

Not yet, but they plan to.

>>382949723
>>382949786
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo now charge you. Blame Microsoft for spearheading this retarded shit.

>>382948452
The publisher funds the devs. This is why a lot of games would often still have bugs long after a game is released. There's very few devs that bother fixing their game and best I can think of that do is Egosoft.

>>382950067
Can you source that claim about paid patches?

Of all places I'd expect /v/ to know a bit more about this shit. Microsoft doesn't charge for patches, they stopped when they brought World of Tanks to the X360 because of the frequent patching that game had, it would've been a nightmare otherwise and MS really wanted it on the platform for whatever reason so they dropped the cost of patching

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-26-microsoft-no-longer-charges-developers-to-patch-their-xbox-360-games

Unless they went back on that, Sony is likely the only one still doing it if they ever did

>>382950615

ps4 was fine

pc is not so fine

Should have bought it on PS4.

>>382950732
This only clarifies that 360 game patches are free now, and that was very late in the 360's lifespan.

>>382950732
With how many patches some games on PS4 get, I call bullshit on any significant charge. Licensing fees to publish on console should already cover the server space PSN needs for patches. There would just be a higher upfront license cost to the dev.

>>382950676
Fuck off

>At this point, we should note that the PC version of Vanquish was handled by Little Stone Software. And while the PC version of Bayonetta was handled by PlatinumGames itself, Square Enix is listed as the sole developer of NieR: Automata PC.

What does this have to do with Platinum?

>>382951217
It isn't, it's Square's. Guess who doesn't give a rat's ass about their PC ports? FF8 on PC still has the midi soundtrack.

>>382947828
Too bad it can't get a patch to make it good.

But keep on pretending the story is deep to cover up the shallow and repetitive gameplay.

>>382948112
They pay shills to make people believe Bayonetta or Nier were GOTY.

>>382951452
Thank god Io Interactive managed to stay independent and keep the Hitman rights
Squeenix is fucking cancer

>>382947828

Baldman's latest crack makes the game more stable than the steam version.

I haven't crashed once since updating, and I was crashing every 15 minutes on the original release.

>>382951926
Just another example of how pirating hurts innocent devs by unfairly fixing games.

>>382949005
steam don't charge for patch, Platinum should do it

>>382952229
It's possible Square won't devote resources because they'll let players do it themselves. FAR works uncracked, right?

>>382950067
>The publisher funds the devs
In the case of Nier I doubt Square gave Platinum anything other than a few hundred dollars

>1.5 million sales on PS4
>400k sales on PC

Why do they even port games to PC? They should stop.

I can assure you if Neir was built from the ground up for the PS4 only it would have guaranteed to be optimized better. Sad.

>>382953069
the PS4 version has patch and PS4 pro support
works great

>>382953147
I know I downloaded it, but still, the game could run and look better.

All Square had to do was cancel the PC port and suddenly the burden and needless floundering trying to optimize the game for a million configurations vanishes and the devs are able to focus on a single configuration and getting the most out of it. Heck make it a PS4 exclusive and get the ICE and Japan Studio to work on graphics while they tweak performance.

but no

we can't have that because PC cucks need the best version of everything for $20 or less and refuse to play on any other system and just being difficult retards.

Why did PC gamers have to fuck up neir automata, why the fuck did they do this to us?

>>382953578
considering the PC port has many problems (also it took a week for amd/nvidia release a good driver) I think they ported to PC in 1 week

>>382951452
Square Enix doesn't give a rat's ass about anything

>>382953664
They said PC was the main platform from the start so they could iron out kinks as they go and the PS4 version was secondary but ultimately got the post release support because people actually bought the game or something like that and PC players have darude anyway since nobody on PC gives a fuck so it has to elect it's own communities fixers

>>382953847
didn't they fix Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 HD?

Why should they patch it when tasteless weebs will eat Yoko Taro's shit?

>>382948112
buy more masks

>>382953886
the release of Nier on steam was bad because the community spent 3 months posting ass pics and sex stories about 2B
truly degenerate. Reddit/Steam destroy video games by promoting such degeneracy

>>382953908
Yes and they even added additional content. I started the game last week and everything had been fixed by then. KH runs like a dream at locked 60 on ps4 across every title

>>382954051
waitfag masterrace here too

>>382954048
I think you're just mad that the PS4 keeps losing exclusives to PC

>>382953578
Are you genuinely fucking retarded?
You think a business can decide to forgo like 30% of its revenue and be fine after that?
Note that businesses have thin margins, and extra software sales impose little costs so its pure profits.
Eliminating those 400k PC sales may turn a massively profitable project into a breakeven one

Be thankful that you even GOT a PC release. Don't be greedy and entitled.

>>382954204
but the redditors on steam literally destroy every single game
Dark Souls and Nier are living proof of it

>>382954181
Same those initial threads put me off a little, glad I waited, the game got a little cheaper and it's really good now. I'm kinda glad KH3 has been delayed, gives me time to play the series and I'm honestly having a blast besides CoM. Screw that game lol I can't handle it.

automata is highly overrated and fails to top the original nier in anyway
even gameplay

>>382947828
Platinum isn't even the main dev. They just made the combat system. Even if they did male a patch they would have to get permission from Cavia or Square to publish it and we all know SE hates admitting they fucked up until they lose too much money

>>382954349

>>382950980
It's not about server space, it's about quality control. They test patches rigorously so it doesn't brick your system.

Its a good thing Sony and Microsoft charge publishers to release patches. It provides incentive to have a smooth launch :^)

>Everything is already taken care of by fan patches
Do you
>A. Release an official patch that probably wont fix things as well as the fan patches possibly being fucked up by patching the main game
>B. Continue to let things be fixed

>>382954554
What? No. Platinum is the main developer, working with Square Enix as the publisher and IP holder. Yoko Taro was the director, but he's freelance. Cavia hasn't existed for seven years.

>playing games on PC

You brought this on yourself

>>382947828
More of a problem with SquareEnix. They don't wanna fund a patch.
Meanwhile Sega funded a patch on Bayonetta and Vanquish within the month they were released and it was multiple patches and those were both Platinum games.

It has everything to do with the publisher before the developer really.

>>382948452
Because it is a publisher issue.
Platinum doesn't do work for free.

Bayonetta and Vanquish a month apart both platinum games on PC got multiple patches fixes because Sega pushed for it since they are the publisher making money. And those are 7 year old games.

Automata is developed by Platinum published by SquareEnix, it's a problem that Square is simply refusing to pay for the work.

>>382954554
Cavia is long dead anon. Taro made sure of that.

>>382947828
Squeenix already has your money. They don't give care about anything else.

>>382956958
>fan patch has to be pirated, because the creator of it put a fucking trojan in it to combat piracy
>despite this huge backlash we now live in an age where you have to pirate a mod.

>>382953578
>PC version
>superior
If anything, the Pro version is the superior one after the patch it got.
>>382954250
Also, this. In the best case, Squeenix could've gotten an exclusivity deal with Sony, and they could've marketed the fuck out of the game and help with development.

But even then, a good chunk of this game's audience ended up being Twitchfags, and we all know what their favored platform is.

>>382958247
The console version patch is to remove a single item, because nintendo's hurt feelings. It's on the same build as the PC version.

>>382957741
Maybe get a job anon?

>>382954427
I unironically loved the originals gameplay after you unlocked the spear and great sword.
I have no fucking clue why they forced you into using a useless toothpick for a third of the game.

>hurr durr it's okay to fuck paying customers by pinging their steam registry information to an external server outside of steam to a private handler somewhere in Russia

Kaldiaen I hope you get stabbed in the ass in prison you sick fuck.

>>382958359
Really? I could've sworn that the performance was far smoother after it. Placebo effect, i guess

>>382959096
Nope build version is still 1.01.

So I don't have a toaster and I have FAR installed and I have literally no problems. I get that the dev shouldn't rely on the PC community to fix its games, but they did it anyways. So whats the problem?

>>382947828
Why would it need a patch? You only patch a game if it's broken. Works fine for me.

>>382959405
If your using the creator's version of FAR, the problem is that it's literally a trojan by definition. Kaldaien put in an anti piracy measure which deletes edited steamapi files. Even though this sounds like justice, it's entirely against the law to distribute malware. Hence he's in deep shit now. This mod also sends your steam registry information to an external server under his control somewhere in Russia upon starting the game with it installed. Github even pulled his shit. Someone made a fork with his trojan removed though.
