    I started the first one last month and encountered 3 game-breaking-reload-required bugs within the first hour. It still isn’t fixed after all these years.

    Edit: I don’t understand why I’m being downvoted for simply sharing my playthrough experience?

      Played until I was helping the cops and symping for corpo life. Aren’t we supposed to be punks off the street? The fuck are we helping cops for? CDPR can’t write.

        Because the coppers have a vigilante system and pay me for fucking these specific groups of gangers and criminals up. And as Vespasian said: money doesn’t stink.

      If it wasn’t as broken as it was, it might not have ended up as good as it did.

          I really enjoyed it and didn’t experience any bugs as I waited for it to be sorted. It was also one of the rare games that held my attention long enough to finish, so that’s probably why I think highly of it. Love that I’m being downvoted! I’ll know not to bother contributing my opinion next time.

    Just another 8-10 years before we get to play it guys!

    Seriously, though. I don’t know how you one-up the first game. I’ve been replaying it and I’m just constantly in awe at the number of hidden little gems to go explore.

    I just found out the text messages you get from Club Riot are for actual events in world and not just flavor text. I haven’t dug into it, but it almost sounded like they had multiple sets of music for the different artists. Just so many little details.

        If CDPR hadn’t forced the team to crunch to get the game running at all on PlayStation, it probably would have been much more polished on release. A lot of the bugs you see in YouTube glitch compilations were due to this over-optimization (like NPCs vanishing or changing models when you looked away for a second).

        I wonder how much better the game and its reception would have been if they’d dropped the last-gen console support during development. Those were the truly awful versions; the PC version was about even with Bethesda’s launch day jank.

        I also wish they’d properly managed expectations. The PC release was buggy and missing promised features, yes, but a lot of the hate came from it being a game with an open-world city with guns and driving but not mimicking GTA’s systems.

            Could you remind me what features people were upset about? I stayed away from most of the drama since CDPR has a long history of releasing a free major upgrade a year or two after release that fixes everything people complained about.

            I remember the dev diaries being pretty open about dropping features during development, like the RC drone turning from a staple of your kit into something shown off once in a mission and immediately forgotten.

              I also had it on launch day, on PC, and it worked great for me as well. If anything, performance got worse after they patched the game.

                  Some people complain very loudly. It’s possible most of us actually had no problems & said nothing, leaving only the scorned to be heard.

                  So, believe it or not, what you said is why I was responding. To let you know “that performance issues are different for different people on different systems.” Seems like you forgot it yourself.

                  Have a nice day 😊

      Me here just waiting to also not play the next one.

      It’s just another flavor of starfield but somehow so much more shittier. Make me a game that doesn’t release looking like it’s a beta release. Then I may be interested.

    At least everyone knows not to trust this dev anymore and won’t buy the game until it’s actually finished

    Sad this likely means the first one never gets finished

        Not feature complete to pre-release promises/expectations

        You don’t have to lie to justify your purchase, you can enjoy it for what it is

          The game is finished. Maybe not finished to your expectations, but it is definitely finished, and is a damn fine action RPG. And Phantom Liberty is the best damn DLC for any game I’ve ever played since the Shivering Isles for Oblivion.

          Calling others opinions lies just because you don’t appreciate what they’re saying is what we in the industry like to call a “bitch ass move”.

      Yeah their greed is disgusting. I wander how many DLCs they’ll make for this next one before it’s finished

        Expansion packs have existed since the 90s at least. There were also special editions and stuff before DLCs were possible.

            Just saying if they do release DLCs and add ons it isn’t something particularly new or particularly greedy.

                What are you even talking about? They only shit you had to pay extra for was Phantom Liberty. Every other update or content release has been free.

                  And it was greedy as hell because when that DLC was announced and released the game was still buggy and unfinished. The game still doesn’t feel complete without the DLC is what I hear from everyone I know and multiple reviews
