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! 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.
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.
