This post is really interesting to discuss on first of the month, when new chunk of statistics is published. Still waiting for AMD GPUs to overtake Nvidia :)

Not really satisfied, but I don't expect this to get any better if that makes sense. I.e. I'd prefer ideal games on release of course. But that's not going to happen.

Quoting: medicalcannabisThis is evidence that overall dev studio talent has decreased so significantly in the last generation that formerly-semi-unrealistic deadlines are now replaced with shipping as an open beta test, so the end users can identify all the bugs that should've been ironed-out by QA and the developers can spend more time monetizing the remaining 20% of the game (or more) they still have to finish.

On one hand, or on the other hand complexity of games increased to the point where they became less profitable to release with more bug fixes due to budget / development time balance. That's why we see them released as beta quality and only gain fixes over time after that.

Players want more complex games, players want games bug free. To me it looks like these two are at odds.

Quoting: EikeFrom what I've heard, this has been worse than other big games at release, though.

Not much. It's been worse on consoles I've heard (the game was even delisted temporarily by Sony?). But pretty regular case for the Windows version.

Quoting: andy155Played at release it was a completely bugged shit sry! "The Most Immersive Open World Today" My ass. You couldn't even decide whether to accept spam calls with your phone or not. Everything aside from the main story was a wet mess!

Playing at release is the worst approach you can take with such games. It takes close to a year for them to get in shape post "release".

The only reason to play at release would be if you plan to replay it a lot of times when they add bug fixes. Sounds like you had false expectations.

It's surely not an ideal situation for the end user, but that's how it works due to these games getting so complex. Basically if you want a less buggy game - wait longer.

If besides simply improved graphics / combat mechanics they'll make the game open world like TW3, that might be be adding something novel to the original, so not a bad idea.

Quoting: andy155After the Cyberjunk disaster, they won't get another cent from me. Lying company! :angry:

What's the disaster? I enjoyed the game.

Controls are OK, it's just not a realtime combat - it's rhythmic one. But I get why some don't like that.

I'll just stick to whatever games from EA are on GOG. No need for any apps.

Interesting, though I'd say the first game is good and doesn't need a remake, but if they want to make one - why not.

And since it's Unreal Engine 5 they can as well make a native Linux version. What happened to such idea?
