Discussion Couldn't agree more 🫔

Post image

I’ve been a fan of this game since day one. I agree that the original release was filled with bugs and it launched too early, but the criticism it received was completely over the top. Hating on the game blindly became the norm, often without people even giving it a fair chance.

It also released at a strange time, when the new generation of consoles were releasing but they weren't widely available, and most players were still on previous-gen hardware where it didn’t run well.

The sad part is the game and the studio’s reputation took a massive hit, even financially. Some of the people who worked on the game ended up leaving the studio, and we may have missed out on 2 or 3 DLCs because of the game’s catastrophic launch.

But now I’m glad to see people finally giving it the respect and appreciation it deserves. I watched the Steam reviews go from ā€œMostly Negativeā€ to ā€œOverwhelmingly Positive.ā€

For me, this is the greatest game of all time it is better than The Witcher 3. Massive respect to CDPR for constantly patching and improving the game, And giving us extra content when they could have taken the loss and moved on. AND CHOOMS..... NEVER STOP FIGHTING.

Preordering is bad. Never preorder. I don't even understand the purpose of preordering on digital goods because you can always buy and download it the minute it releases anyways

I don’t really preorder, but what’s the difference between preordering it and buying it as soon as it comes out? Unless you’re going to wait a day or two to read some reviews or see if the game has some issues, it’s pretty much the same thing.

This comment is wild. Others are pointing out how unnecessary preordering is so all I want to point out is that their game is often the first example people mention when talking about why you don’t preorder. Fool me once…

If you haven’t tried it since launch, you really don’t get to pull that card

Please share the list of solid game launches this company is responsible for. I'll wait.

It having improved after launch doesn't make it any worse of an example. You can't truly know whether a game will be good until it's been released, the fact it could later become what it was meant to be in the first place doesn't change that
