    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.

      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.

            Yes, I explicitly acknowledged that the last Gen console criticism was warranted.

            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.
