    Every game they release runs like dogshit at best at launch. Something noone ever seems to remember.
    I wonder how they gonna fuck it up this time.

      Hear about cool game.
      Put it on your steam wishlist.
      When it goes on sale for 50% off, then you check the recent reviews. If it’s mostly positive still, pick it up.

      That’s my rule for almost every game and it hasn’t failed me yet.

        Sure for the most part, but Steam reviews aren’t always the most credible
        I’m sure we both know plenty of games where their user rating doesn’t quite reflect the game (personal experience or objectively)

          Sure, but that’s typically during the release window. Once the dust settles, the recent reviews are usually pretty accurate.

          I almost never buy a game within the first 6 months, and typically over a year later, so the bugs are usually squashed or permanent by that time.

      I will not pre-order, i will wait 1 year post release to buy.

        I know you’re right, but I will buy at release anyway.

      The reason noone seems to remember how bad CDPR games run at launch is that they actually invest time to fix them. Yes, they shouldn’t release them in this state, but after a while they are fine and age well.

        not really tho, especially with their recent game, c2077 never became what it was advertised at, they even changed its descriptions of what it actually is openly at some point

          I was never really invested in the CP2077 hype. When it launched, I just stood back and watched the fireworks.

          Now that they’ve done some work on it, I’ve played it multiple times and can confidently say it’s one of my favourite games of all time.

          So from my point of view CDPR messed up but still ended up with an amazing game and that makes me trust them enough to believe that TW4 will also be amazing.

          Still not pre-ordering tho.

      What the hell are you talking about? Both The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 where good on launch…

        thank you for being a good example of what i meant that nobody seems to remember.
        Witcher 3 ran like absolute crap, a flipping slideshow in especially bad cases, 20+ patches with 1.07 being infamous for how long it was
        witcher 2, ubersampling alone made the game struggle to keep as much as 60fps
        lest we forget witcher 1, its english translation and voiceover was so dogshit the definitive update was free

          I played both games at launch without any serious technical issues, and you can still play both games without issues…

              So? What am I to argue, that the releases weren’t perfect?

              All I’m saying is that calling it ‘dogshit’ is just dishonest…

                Their release state overhall was , very much was dog shit.
                It just wasn’t for you specifically.

                    I’m honestly glad you had no problems playing any of their games at launch.
                    But next time you see their or sky other game release like shit again (assuming you have no problem again), at least try to remember that maybe, just maybe.
                    Others are not as lucky as you are.

                    Have a good one.
