Right? It’s not like it’s even the type of game you need to play on release. If you can live without always needing the new shiny thing, you have a better experience for half the price or less.
Of course, it does rely on the people who need the new shiny thing to fund the game and beta test all the bugs, but still…
I played it on a dated PC (980ti) a few days after release, maybe a week. I didn’t understand the problem either. The gaming community is extremely fickle and loves to hive mind dump on things.
the issue was that they marketed it like a RPG (where the source material comes from), which it simply isn’t - it’s GTA with a skill system and limited choices. I admit that i was disappointed, but the game itself is good and got a lot better with this patch.
Sony did that bacuse they’ve skirted laws about refunds in some parts of the world for years and CDPR inadvertently highlighted that. MS, Valve and GOG left the game up and issued refunds when requested as that should be a normal part of doing business.
Me as a patient gamer: “I dont understand the problem.”
Same. I’m still a little leery. Think I’ll give it another few months to settle down.
I bought it at launch, and on PS4 it was actually an unplayable mess.
I’ve since gotten a PS4 pro, and still haven’t loaded it up again.
Pretty sure I’ll get a PS5 this year, so I’m thinking of waiting till the to play it.
With large games like this, I know I’m going to sink a lot of time into my first lay through, figure why not wait until I can do it right.

And there are no downsides!

I mean it WAS actually a broken mess from what I saw.
Im saying I always buy games on a deep sale well after it has been released so Im not particularly impacted.
Yeah, my point was it wasn’t a broken mess (except on last Gen consoles), but the gaming community blew its flaws out of proportion.
The game you’re playing as a patient gamer is close to the original with some polish.
It was such a mess that Sony removed it from the PlayStation store and gave out refunds.

Yes, I explicitly acknowledged that the last Gen console criticism was warranted.
Lot of missing features and loads of bugs. It just wasn’t what they hyped it up to be
