“ I don’t know why you keep insisting you know the remedy to people’s ills when you can’t actually diagnose the symptoms.”

I endorse everything you said there, as well as that amazing screenie. The game is a triumph of art and animation by any standard.  It’s also intensely entertaining. I’ve been watching my friend play it for an hour straight now, we’ve been laughing with joy the whole time. I’ve seen a few minor pop-in glitches but…

To me, the fidelity of the best of these shots are why this game is a triumph even as “undercooked” as it can be argued that it is.

Those are gorgeous!

What’s the endgame here on your post sequence? What do you hope happens as a result of your posts?  What opinions are you trying to change?

Stop stanning for gamer rage and I’ll consider it. No, apparently the refunds aren’t universal, but apparently CDPR has always also offered a refund process if you can prove the game doesn’t really work on your equipment. That’s better than a lot of companies offer.

Friend, I think it’s sad that several hundred people worked on this thing for more than half a decade and produced a real piece of art - even if the “prints” of that have flaws, and even if the asking price is expensive - only to be treated by gamers as if they’re Bane from The Dark Knight Rises. Your experience may…

“Worth $8 billion” is not revenue.

Here’s a thing you should try: Maybe consider that the consumer has a right to complain and by gaslighting them about them venting about being slighted by a company, you should shut your fucking food-hole.

There’s not a shred of doubt in my mind that they were deliberately not optimizing on last gen in favor of pretty graphics on PC and next gen.

I have been an assiduous critic of Bobby Kotick. Activision has been a terrible steward of Blizzard’s brilliance. Comparing, say, the great Worlds show by Riot this year to the broken Zoom session that was the Hearthstone World Finals should be proof of that, if Kotick’s well-known twenty-year stint of mistreating his…

You don’t have to climb Everest. Start with the hill behind your house.

The difference is that AAA studios/publishers are large and profiting enough that they can survive dud products multiple times and not suffer enough to warrant change.

Truth always hurts around these parts, friend.

Nope, you’re not. Daikatana sunk an entire studio and was unplayable in any form. CP2077 made close to half a billion dollars on release weekend, is by all accounts really great on a sufficiently powerful machine, and will likely make $1-2b when all is said and done, even after the refunds and the drama.

I think you meant to say “need”. CDPR has 1,111 employees as of press time.

You: “I hope these people that I disagree with all kill themselves.”

QAnon is - at least in my estimation as a family member of the former head of a former Federal agency of bank regulators employing thousands of people - an attempt to blame everything that has gone wrong in Washington, all the Wall-Street-related sins of both parties for 20-40 years, and indeed a fantastic number of…

Law Enforcement Today is not a Russian psyop, as best is known. It is homegrown good-old-boy American South-flavored conservative extremism, spearheaded by a Florida sheriff named Robert Greenberg with his partner Kyle Reyes. Greenberg polices a reclusive gated community of Florida billionaires. And despite LET’s…

“Yet after 50 some years on this planet, there is nothing to prove me wrong. Nothing. Think about that.”
