Playing Arena rn on DosBox and I've already ran into a bunch of bugs. Save often because it's so easy to get stuck in a wall and softlock the game.

    Wouldn't know since I don't really touch modern games anymore but that's sad to hear. You'd think it would have gotten better given how huge the budgets for games are nowadays.

      Some combination of absolutely massive codebases (game, libraries, engine) which constantly grow and nothing staying the same (games have new features or content added to keep interest) makes this inevitable for any large production

        nintendo and fromsoft have managed to keep it relatively bug-free for the typical player even with massive codebases

          That’s true. They certainly spend the extra time and effort to apply a heavy coat on polish on most of their releases. Kind of a rarity in the industry
