Rockstar is a good example here. GTA4 basically sucked.

GTA5 is amazing.

GTA online had a super horrible launch. Here we are a year later, and GTA Online is a lot more fun. They've listened to their customers, and albeit slowly, they steadily improved things. All with free DLC. They implemented changes asked for by the community AND thought outside the box and delivered great changes no one even thought of. That is awesome as ****!

Once it comes out on the PS4, and heists finally come to fruition I'd point R* out as the developer everyone should try to emulate presently.

Bungie has definitely disappointed everyone with Destiny. And to be honest, I'd be done with the game form boredom were it not so fun to play with friends. Currently, I have a small crew of people I met via games and we are having a great time together. If you can get a smart fun crew together that game becomes a lot more intense and fun. The other night me and one other duo'd the nightfall strike as two hunters. It was epic and fun. Only took us two tries too. Even so, due to lack of content and repetitive matches and what not are looming. It will get stale.

CCP, however, I have begun to equate with sleazy where it used to just be incompetence. I don't even think it would be possible to repair that impression. Yea.. they may retain the same customers to an extent because they are so invested, but good luck growing your product thus profit. Just ask CCPs accounting staff. They can no doubt confirm (this is a trick confirmation- we all have seen the numbers they have been losing money big time so it's indisputable fact).

Their top sellers are Fifa( a sports game) Madden( another sports game) and BF4 a primarily online pvp shooter? So Bungie messed up? Who cares? Name one developer or publisher that has not dropped the ball in some fashion? Zipper made Socom which was great and MAG which started off fine. They then broke MAG and the last Socom was just terrible. Activision and Infinity Ward made COD4, then they proceeded to muck it up with MW2, MW3, BO2 and yikes, Ghosts. Killzone and KZ2 were great. KZ3 and shadowfall not so much. The list goes on and on and not even IWS precious CCP is immune to it. See the fan fest debacle.

This is true companies botch things up all the time; the question is what they do to learn from it? Alas, IWS, they do not seem to learn anything. We keep buying their crap. I have since limited my game purchases. I almost never buy DLC now for anything. If I do get dlc for destiny, it will be only to play with my bros otherwise, the game is just meh.

The only reason destiny gets as much face time as it does is because of my bros. If all my peeps have full fire teams, I simply log off and go play or do something else. I am over destiny. Bungie failed. They used to have great story modes on halo, this one felt like it was a trilogy jammed into a 30 minute cartoon.
