Member when they released this game and it was absolutely broken garbage? And how they spend 4 years slowly repairing, updating and fixing the game...for free? Member how you only purchased the game once, and it didn't cost you anything for the game to keep being updated? I member.
Y'all complain too much ...
Huh? For those of us that paid $90 for a broken game, I think we have a good reason to complain that four years later the game still needs repairing. Sure a company like EA or Ubisoft wouldn't have fixed it but nonetheless there is a fair reason to complain. CDPR wants to salvage their reputation which is why I bet they are doing it---EA and Ubisoft don't have a reputation to salvage at this point.
Aaaand there it is. Don't preorder games if you don't want to gamble your money.
GOG's refund policy is good enough that preordered games can get refunded anyways if they are poor. The ability to preload was worth preordering considering the practically zero downside with GOG. I could have refunded after playing but my computer was powerful enough to push through and still have the performance not be too poor except in a select few areas.
But regardless of the preorder situation, suggesting that this is things done right and we complain too much because there were 4 years of updates improving the state still is a strange stance to take. A game shouldn't be released in a state that it needs 4 years of updates for most users.
Okay fair enough, sorry, I think my last reply was in bad faith. The launch was a disaster and they should have pushed back. But at this point in it's lifecycle how much more can you squeeze out of this game if they aren't adding any more story DLC?
Many of the complaints are that the game released broken and took so long to get to a finished state. Updates and DLC weren't meant to be for finishing an unfinished and broken game post-launch but to improve and expand upon a finished game. If it were launched as a beta, that's a different story, but this was sold and advertised as a finished, functional product.
the 2.13 update is trash, it doesnt work at all.
It's time to let go.
