I get that. My point was that there are layers.I think you've misconstrued my post. I really don't care that people don't like this game. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Wicher for example. I was simply pointing out to one poster that they can't really complain about the side missions being samey if they approach those missions in the same manner everytime.
What does piss me off is the posters that clearly haven't played it yet piling in and making outrageous claims (FFS some people are saying EA are a lesser evil in the industry off the back of this launch). It is overlooked massively (to suit agendas, no doubt) that The Witcher wasn't some shining beacon of hope make it's out to be now. It had a iffy launch (miles better than CP) but it was the post release TLC from the devs that got it placed in the GOAT conversations.
People need perspective. Could CP have done with another 6-12 months in development? Undoubtedly. Are the bugs game breaking? No. Will they affect your enjoyment? Depends on an individual's preferences, you and I seem happy enough with the product in it's current state, many others aren't.
I honestly can't wait to see what it's like this time next year.
For me the bugs haven't bothered me, what's bothered me most is what the game could and should have been. And not because of expectations, read my posts in here before release I expected pretty much this (though not with the furore of course!), but because they were clearly aiming for more (they told us this all along) and yet here we are with a clearly rushed release that they've actually had to cut content to get out, and they've not been able to work on the gameplay aspects that clearly need it. As I keep saying, I promise you the guys actually developing the game will be more pissed than any of us.
I 100% agree with your general point about the pile ons from people who haven't played it, but you should also see my point that there's been so much talk about hype (not just you, everyone defending it in here are saying the exact same thing), but it's not about that at all. Sure for some I guess, for for many people I've been talking to about it it is the disappointment more than anything.
I mean we all know and understand now why the game was released like this, it's just a shame that mixed in with all the bugs and stuff that the developers are getting the shit and not the management.
