I'm sure you can find more reports yourself, the whole internet is littered with them.

This birthday requirement is not for the protection of the children, but to be able to single them out and abuse them ever more. I do not trust Epic with kids.

They make a good engine, but everything else they touch reeks and has ill intent. The whole sage with their Epic Games Store is a good example.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks horrible? It looks very blurry, you can hardly read the quest text on the top right.

Where were these companies for the Iraq, Afghanistan and Syrian wars? Ow, and lets not forget Algeria. If you want to help the Ukrainians it's better to do this through other official channels than to fatten the bank accounts of these hypocrites.

Too many bugs to make it playable for me. AI is just standing there "looking for work" while there is plenty to do. I give this one a few patches before I try it again.

Reviews are mixed, many are complaining about the bugs. Yes, this is EA, so I'm not complaining, but I think they have released this too early.

The game has major promise, but with a 2-men dev team I don't expect things to happen fast. But I have been happily surprised before.

The only reason game companies chase streaming is because of piracy and consoles being too expensive. I'm not pulling this out of thin air: https://torrentfreak.com/sony-thinks-cloud-gaming-can-eliminate-piracy-and-consoles-210626/ [External Link]

Piracy is basically a non-issue anyway. Well, only reason some piracy exists still is because of DRM. Which they keep implementing themselves. Other companies have already proven DRM is not needed. The consoles being expensive; they all control their systems, so who is too blame? They keep pushing the graphics, more computer power is needed for that. Most good games are indie games nowadays and they don't use all that.

Just make good games instead of the shite lately AAA companies release nowadays.

Quoting: EhvisThe main story is pretty good, but deviating from it is not. The RPG element is pretty much nothing and the whole open world is pretty much an empty backdrop. And that is a far cry from what cdpr promised it to be and no so easily rectified with a patch.

You are just quoting media, but this is utter bullshit imo. I now have 47hrs play time on the ticker. I'm not sure how far I'm into the main story, but it feels it still has quite some hours left. The game has ton of side missions who are really great also. Besides that my whole map is still filled with activities to do. NCCP alerts, gangs fights and other things. The higher level I get the more missions open up. I have been slacking a bit on these random open world things, but they are a choice you can pick up, not mandatory so.

The world is filled to the brim with cars and people walking the city. This depends on a graphic setting to control performance. If it is set low, yeah I expect the city to feel more empty. Performance wise the game runs like a charm on Ultra settings on a Ryzen 3700x and a 5700XT, 1440p. Installed the latest drivers.

Yes there are a few glitches, like chopsticks hovering in the air, food falling out of NPC hands, trash that suddenly moves in the air a bit. I got stuck in a wall once or twice. But I had no crashes so far. The game is very stable. All these glitches do nothing about the fun I have in this game. This is a excellent game! It's next-gen imo and like the Witcher 3, they set the bar high again on what an open world game should be.

I think the biggest problems that people have is that they want to play it on old hardware and software, be it an console or a PC. On top of that they expect it to run without any problems. It's not the game, but the 'gamers' who are the problem imo.

Good. Discord is becoming a bloated piece of junk anyway. I only need chat and voice, not the other crap that comes with. I'm even considering switching back to Teamspeak at this point. The new version 5 is looking really interesting.

Edit: typo

Yes, I can log in without problems without the fix again, but it saved me from two evenings without WoWC!
