You're delusional if you think From Software games are even close to as glitchy as Ubisoft games. You'd have to live in a hole to believe that.
 
The Assassin's Creed series in general is pretty ridiculous in terms of glitches at launch. I remember Watchdogs having similar problems at launch, according to what I've read.

Black Flag alone has some of the most ridiculous glitches that I've seen in a game. I love the video where the ship loaded hundreds of feet up in the air completely sideways.

From Software glitches are usually pretty minor or involve actually attempting to achieve them. They aren't usually mandatory parts of the gameplay.
 
Siege's multiplayer is a pile of doo-doo right now because it's not receiving any attention. Maybe it's because of the Division, but brutal

Ha. Which is further proof the Japanese industry is going under and they fucking deserve it. Who else besides them or an amateur would leave game crippling errors in game for that long?

This is fucking stupid.

Bethesda games routinely have game breaking bugs, as mentioned above Ubisoft (not just Assassin's Creed, but The Division is a buggy mess), Rocksteady tried to release a severely broken Arkham Knight on PC, Bioware released an seriously buggy unfinished mess in Dragon Age Inquisition, etc.

So its just AAA game development in general, not Japanese game devs.

What are some good turn-based games, similar to Civilization?

Endless Legend seems to be one of the better-received 4x games of recent years although I can't really get into it myself.

I personally think that Firaxis' XCOM games are basically the best thing ever, though they're more turn-based tactics than turn-based strategy so they might not be what you're looking for.

I don't even give a fuck about Dark Souls and that is a blatant mischaracterization of From Software.

Won't argue with SE though.
 
Maybe the AAA game companies are releasing what the majority of consumers are the happiest to transfer numerical digits from bank to bank for.
 
Oh they definitely are. I don't even really have an issue with them going for mass appeal so long as niche developers can stick around.

I'd just like to see them actually release functional games.

I've definitely discovered that smaller niche developers are releasing games I get much greater enjoyment from overall, or that older games are much more pleasing than the "movie like" newer productions. Even the moddb community can make better content.

I can certainly agree that mindblowing bugginess is something ascribable to AAA gaming in general. But From Software, SE, etc. are really getting on my god damn nerves considering they keep releasing heap after heap of unfinished schmaltz. Not to mention they're barely games anymore and more akin to an endless procession of ultra pretentious, unoriginal button activated cutscenes and special event sequences. The new FFXV demo is a hilarious confirmation of this. Between them and the bigger American developers like EA and Activision and their factory line procession of literal cancer, I'm about ready to kill every game dev on planet Earth. European developers are slipping too, just look at the fucking travesty of a "Hitman" game IO Interactive just released. As for Bethesda, even when they do have an assload of bugs, they still have plenty of other redeeming qualities, although even that seems to be diminishing greatly as of Fallout 4.

You've never played Dark Souls if you think it's a game about button-activated sequences and cutscenes. That's basically the exact opposite of what it is.

Also, how was Dark Souls or Bloodborne an unfinished game? Both games received a completely standalone DLC that was totally optional and not at all required to get the full story.
 
The market (not free by a long shot) has still managed to slowly punish Sony for a while. The company in general is a shell of its former 90's titanic self. Microsoft is in the same boat to some degree, in relation to many of the legacy products.

I think control decentralization with simultaneous financial centralization is in the cards for a while. You will see more independent studios running on thinner margins with limited title responsibility, while the financials are taken care of by squidlike capital firms.

When I talked about FS like that I was referring to their involvement in the FF franchise, not DS or Bloodborne. And my rage about stuff like that was more directed at SE anyways.

What Final Fantasy game did From Software work on? I don't think that ever happened, and if it did, they definitely weren't the ones in charge of its development.

Endless Legend seems like a good fit. I always heard good things about XCOM but hesitated to play it due to the sci-fi futuristic feel.
