This is why you wait at least 1 year after release to get the games you want.
Why? Do you think they would have the insight to add those little details that the players asked them to? Do you think they would remove all the bugs?
People who bought in the beggining had a lot of fun with it. And with the additions, they get more reasons to continue to play it.
Plenty of games were launched completely broken and should not have been released when they did. This game was one of those.
Witcher 3 was completely broken? :v
Not at all. You could play it without a problem.
Day one I didnt experience any ground breaking bugs or glitches
The witcher 3 was the least game of triple A that I had problems
Your or my experience doesn’t matter, fact is that over a year after release they’re still fixing quest bugs.
I’d rather them do that then pretend everythings perfectly fine and drop support altogether like almost all other games do. If they’re still fixing bugs another year from now ill be even happier.
But I’m not criticizing the fact that they’re fixing the bugs O.o
I get what you mean, but this game is really big and complex and some of those bugs are indeed only discovered after months or even years the game was launched because they affect a really small amount of players that did specific things or played specific ways,
I imagine. there’s also the issue of bugs caused by other paths and of course bugs caused by having new areas and quests as DLC. Sometimes they might cause bugs in earlier quests if you decide to do them in different order, probably must be a nightmare to manage this kind of stuff.
Yeah, the more complex the game (especially RPGs) the harder it gets to keep everything neat, and there’s only so much errors you can catch before release, that’s why I prefer to wait it out and have a more polished experience.
But they weren’t “game breaking” bugs. And many are from the expansion. Nothing serious.
I think many of those bugs are from the blood and wine expansion,
Good cause some of the games never gets fixed, they are the only developers you can trust now
Ofcourse the game has bugs. Any game this big and complex will always have bugs. The fact that they are still fixing bugs says more about they’re continued commitment to the game than the state in which the game released.
If they wanted to fix every single bug in the game they’d probably never release it
i played this game since day one never had a major bugs the patches actually introduced a bug only to be fixed by a quick hotfix…besides refinements is always welcome
Why ? Because it got a few bugfixes here and there ? Those are nothing if you consider the size of the game , it was playable months ago.
Hell , it was even playable in the release state , it had quite a few bugs sure but it was way more playable than a lot of games you see released nowadays.
” Fixes issue whereby it was not possible to interact with loot chests in the “Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear” quest. ”
this, since updated to blood and wine DLC i dicided to replaying from the start and this bugs gave me really pain in the a$$. i wanna complete my witcher gear before move to new set on BAW.
Never got that error once and I played this from release, May ’15.
i’ve played before any dlc coming and finished 3 times. since blood and wine arrived they introduce new wicther gear/armor set. i decide to start from fresh since on my previous game i never completed my witcher gear. i almost at the end of main event it sound riddiculous if i had to replaying from a start again.
Stop making updates for Witcher 3, CD Projekt RED. Not because it ruins the game from how it was but because you’ve earned the right not to have to spend time, effort and money on improving the game. You’ve earned your rest. You’ve earned the right to focus your time, effort and money on something else.
The game is already Game Of The Year!
If Cyberpunk is anywhere near this level of quality, we are in for a treat
So long list of fixes. Its nice to see that CDP is releasing a patch for a game, where they sad, that there will be noe more patches.
this is in preparation for the GOTY edition
GOTY is tomorrow.
still no better graphics or dx12….. *sighs*
Yea, I didn’t like not having the stats on the front screen, but the way they incorporated it into the info screen was more advanced. I got used to it.
If they are putting this much effort into W3, this far past its completion, imagine how much work is going into Cyberpunk.
