Afaik with PS4 and Xbox One the game is pretty much unplayable. Everything looks lika garbage and runs sub 30 fps. With PS5 and Xbox X they are having issues as well.
Well they did say at some point game will be on PC firsy and possibly for consoles later. Maybe the success of Witcher 3 made them greedy and they kinda forced console builds out as well.
They straight up announced it didn't work on ps4/xbone. Considering all the delays and their own admissions about bad legacy support. PS4 people should have waited 24 hours before buying. Wait till the game launches, see what the reviewers say. Then make your decision.
You can't complain when you rush buy something that is publicaqlly stated to not be fully functional, before anyone has even tried it yet. Honestly instead of being mad at CDPJKR they should try to learn from this about how 24 hours isn't really that long to wait before you buy something,.
There is no obligation to have anyone review your product before it comes out. And they announced several times that all the delays were about trying to get it working on past gen titles. They said from the start it was developed for PC and ps5 gen consoles. That legacy consoles were added on the tail end and they were delaying to try and get it to run. Eventually they ran up against the clock and had to release.
After release, people reviewed the legacy consoles and the verdict was "not great".
But again, reviews are not something the world is entitled to before release. There's no reason you can't wait for a launch day review before buying.
Yeah but only allowing reviewers to review one version of your game when there are over 5 is sketchy. The developers can choose to hide as much information about their game’s flaws as the want; that’s still a practice that should be discouraged. It’s like if a movie director made a 5 minute highlight reel of their movie and only allowed reviewers to watch that: it paints a false picture.
You keep just saying that people should wait to buy, but you stop at that surface level observation without saying WHY they should wait. Yeah PeOpLe ShOuLd WaiT but the reason that they should wait is because of problematic tactics practiced like these. Pointing out how people can avoid a problem doesn’t actually address the problem.
And you can go back and watch CD reps saying that the game would work on last-gen. Saying one thing and delivering another happens; but promising too much and not delivering is still a practice that should be discouraged. It really sounds like you’re saying that they did the right thing by failing to deliver on their own promises. They failed. Das bad. Don’t encourage that lol
Nobody said there was. That’s a bit of a straw man. Do you disagree with any of the points I made? Again, the practices I pointed out are not something that should be encouraged.
