Christ, I remember this game being announced while I was still in high school.

Also: crunch

Does anyone else just not care about this game or is it just me

I was kinda interested after BR2049 got me in a Cyberpunk (genre) mood for a while but the way people at my uni wouldn't shut up about it made me lose interest.

Also: crunch

Reason I decided not to get this at launch.
Another is that its a AAA game which means a playable Beta at launch.
Anyone here played it yet? I hear good things about the graphics and such but bugs ruin the immersion.

So game crashed twice on me, also had a glitch where I could not advance the story because of some militech NPC blocking an access point. Enemies will sometimes spaz out on the floor without even bothering to shoot you.

The fuck was the point in all these delays then? Absolute joke.

This is f i n e, no matter how much would they spend time coding game, they'll never catch all bugs. It's more important now for them to listen to the feedback and patch all things quickly. I think it would be better for them to release their game earlier as an early access and receive feedback back then and I don't know what prevented them from doing so.

Just to ensure you that everything is f i n e here is video from Witcher 3 with flying horse

Why is the bar so low now that the default position is to just expect AAA games to be fixed incrementally post release? Why is it so outlandish to actually want a game to work properly on day 1? Trust me this isn't fine. I'm sick of people just brushing this off because it's CDPR. If this was an EA title reddit would be in resonance frequency.

I didn't pay 55 quid for a game that needs 25 gig patches every few weeks. I'm not asking there to be absolutely zero bugs. I just want a playable game that I paid for on the day.

Buying games six months to a year post release is not only economically beneficent but also gives you a better experience.

Yeah okay cool, but that's not even remotely my point. There's a difference between purchasing a game at its cheapest and most optimized and having an unplayable mess on the first day you purchase it. I don't understand why this is such a head scratcher to some folk.

I know, I know. I'm just saying what must be done. Consistent low release sales will hurt these sweat-shop-tier studios and will probably send a message. People keep buying on release says one thing - "we trust you." The trust is long gone however.

You probably didn't read my previous posts. I was advocating for longer dev cycles for a while now. Normalized crunches is not a sign of a healthy industry.

No one is saying the game should be seen as some system-critical product (Like autopilots or rocket software) but ffs, there should not be any bugs when all the player does is just play the game as intended. Of course software can break when millions of people are all trying to break it but there is footage of mission scripts derping out and other sections of the game that should work - fall apart.

Sooo that's a third time the game shat itself on me. Even after patch 1.04.

This should have been delayed until spring.  Idk why they thought this was acceptable to release in 2020.

not that i followed it too closely at the time, but i seem to recall a similar furor over the amount of bugs with New Vegas on release, and now that game is considered one of the best in the series, if not one of the best games ever

Yeah, it'll be like No Man's Sky all over again. As long as they fix shit, it should be fine, so bugs and crashes aren't my main concern. My main concern would be more whether this game delivers gameplay wise and story wise, but from what I've seen, it's nothing special, just another videogame I won't care about and then, if I lucky, may rediscover after 5-10 years when it gets on 90% sale and I have better hardware.

Game isn't very good but I'm none-the-less enjoying it. PC version thankfully avoids a plethora of the issues people are having with the game, and most of the ones I've run into are entertaining at least. DLSS also so it looks great with a steady framerate. It will be a good game once it's finished, but it's pretty annoying how often that's the case nowadays.

Finished the game, would probably give it a 7.5-8/10 as it is. Really good story, quest design and combat but the skill trees could use a bit of tuning and the AI needs to be fixed.

Absolutely the most inexcusable part of the game. I am floored by how dumb the AI is.

Annoying thing is the scripting for a lot of the AI has been found in the game files being unused at the moment. Game definitely wasn't ready, we'll probably see a situation like The Witcher where things had to be improved over the course of the next year.
