Comment on 'The Witcher 4 will channel the “freedom” of CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077'

I know survivor bias or w/e but literally no one I know irl who played it 10+ had those issues unless they were on console.

I played it for over a hundred hours immediately after release and only saw a few minor bugs like audio/lip animations not matching for some scenes. I don’t know how all my friends/coworkers were so lucky when all you see on the internet is “worst game ever, doesn’t work at all on release” comments

Same experience here. I’m pretty sure at least 75% of the complaints were from consoles that should have never had the game released for.

  Yet the game was still released and marketed to them - thus the issue

    It definitely shouldn’t have been, but that doesn’t mean the game is shit, just marketing is bad.

Same! Pre-ordered and played hundreds of hours. It should’ve been released 6 months later but most of the bugs weren’t game-breaking. If an NPC had their arms stretched out to the side or whatever, I’d just have a laugh and move on. I’ve had to reload a save to get a side quest to trigger twice. I don’t think it’s even ever crashed on me though.

It’s just become blindly accepted that it is/was unplayable. I remember seeing so many articles months, even a year, after its release just confused about how so many people could be playing this unplayable game. Yet it’s always been consistently in Steam’s top 25 games for active players. It’s a weird disconnect.
