CD Projekt RED are perfectionists.
Last time I saw a post related to CD Projekt, it was full of haters. Who the fu ck hates devoted devs? What is wrong with this world?
It was mostly people b**ching about how they didn’t like CDPR’s creative vision post-e3. They’re idiots basically.
I m impressed, they really going all out with witcher 3
My hat’s off to CDPRojectRed, nowadays you rarely see such devotion from AAA developers/publishers.
Not true, Polyphony Digital, Evolution, DICE and many more do it. These guys are just still mainly doing fixes.
DICE(Stockholm) can suck it. BF3 was left to rot with gamebreaking glitches until a DLC was released. They also left BF4 in the hands of DICE LA a few months after release to work on Battlefront. DICE LA(former Danger Close devs) on the other hand went the extra mile and worked on all DLCs and on top of that to this day continue to support for the game and rework major systems and release free maps even after all DLC was already released.
Blizzard too are one of the best for after sales support. Don’t let companies like WB, Ubi and EA tar the rest.
Uhhhh, EA is still supporting Battlefield 4 after 2 years with a bunch of free content and patches. WB and Ubisoft fair enough, but credit where it’s due.
Only because they f’ed Hardline!
Oh so have ubisoft fixed Watch dogs or Unity?
Still waiting.
Wow the performance patch side is something to look forward to. Other dev’s normally give up when it comes to performance patches that really do add performance.
I’m NOT impressed. This should be the norm. This should be what everyone else must do as well.
I don’t give thumbs up to people that do the right thing. This is to be expected really. This is their JOB. If it doesn’t work, they gotta fix it. It is a 60 $ game. I had a 20-30 $ gadgets and devices that were broken and guess what? I got them fixed for free. Its how normal people work. Respect your clients and they will come back to you in the future again.
I do however give a ton of thumbs down and critics on all of those that don’t support their own games and creations. That don’t fix them, that don’t bother to even make(or test..Ubisoft?Batman?) a game without any major bugs on day one.
Whoa there fella. You know that this is a massive open world game, of course there will be bugs & stability problem. At least the game is pretty great out of the box, i didn’t meet any significant bugs or problem with the game from start to finish, and i’d say that’s an achievement.
And the fact that they still keep updating the game and letting us know that even to this day they still strive to make the game as good as possible is quite nice to hear no? Lots and lots of people who love this game are working on it non stop to give the best experience to players everywhere and all you have to say is you’re not impressed? Is it always have to be about you sir?
I do, but what about AC Unity then? Nobody defends Ubisoft. Thats also an open world game. They also kept patching it for almost 1 year after the release. Did anyone even show them any love? No. I don’t think people should. At beast u can say: Good. They are doing a fine job.
Also it does have to be about me when i pay THEM for a product? 😛 Clients are always right or did we all forgot that lovely philosophy? But sure, i do respect them for making this awesome game even better. I admit it didnt really need some of the patches or bug fixes. They could of left it like that and it would of been fine. I just wanted the performance fixes mostly. Good for them. I do wish more game studios can support their products like that.
We all deserve better from this industry, and if you don’t agree, you are either blind or you love taking it in the A-hole.
I’m sorry but you just sound like an entitled self centered ¢unt. You can’t compare AC Unity to Witcher 3, Witcher 3 is way more massive than Unity and therefore it’s a lot more complex and a lot harder to find and minimize bugs, etc.
And are you really saying that we shouldn’t praise developer for patching their game just because they should’ve done that? You do know that Unity is an entirely different case? I mean there’s a difference between patching a horrendous horribly running game to patching an already great game to make it even better.
I can understand if you’re saying all of this in an Arkham Knight Steam Re-release article or something like that, but not on a Witcher 3 new massive update article.
Hey you are free to feel however u want. 🙂 I expect working games from everyone. I have 2 PC’s and 1 Laptop and the Witcher 3 ran like crap on all of them. It kept on crashing on my lappy as well. Yea, after a few patches it all went smooth, but that just wasn’t the case on day one. Im happy people like you had the joy of getting a working game, but me and a few of my friends didn’t get that kind of luck.
I get why you get upset cuz CDPR are among the best developers out there, and their support seems to rival the Blizzard support in a lot of ways. I don’t wanna make anyone mad, its just how i feel about anything really.
You would of felt the same way like me if u had a ton of different high end computers and you couldn’t run the game the way it should be. Most other games work fine, so don’t even blame it on me or my windows.
I’m so tired of buying expensive TVs that dont work(or have dead pixelS), monitors that cost 700$ and half of the options dont work.. gfx cards that just die on day 2 for no reason, games that either cant be installed,cant be run, that crash, that LAG on some of the best video cards money can buy (Unity), that freeze and of course.. have some kind of server problems ala Diablo 3/Simcity/Battlefield 4.
Ive noticed how almost everything that i got (in the last 5 years) seems to have some kind of a big flaw on day one, and this kind of thing is just not acceptable in my opinion. Testing and quality control PLEASE.
I guess i got nothing more to add 😛 Call me a c^nt as much as you want now hah.
P.s. Im happy i avoided the Batman game, because im super tired of this kind of poop lol.I wonder if i should even buy it once they fix it..
You should be impressed, Yes this is what good devs should do and they are because these are good devs, that just means our industry is full of bad ones these days who just want to make a buck. But CD Project RED is indie so they can afford to spend the time and dedication and love to mastercraft an amazing game. Most indie devs do take care of their games “Terraria for example is still getting updated even though they are working on the sequel right now”
You sound like a needy gamer who wants to be spoonfed, I’m guessing you aren’t even a fan of Witcher 3 so you are just being a jerk.
I finished the Witcher 3 almost 2 times now. 🙂 Sorry that i expect 100 % support for the games (or anything solid) i bought. If it aint working and it needs patches and fixes, they better do it or else i wont ever bother with them anymore. 1 lost sale? Who cares? Sure, but when others do the same like me, you get what i call the AC Unity problem.
Good luck Ubi selling a ton of coppies of their next AC game. People expect working games on DAY 1!!! ONE! If we dont get them, we expect them to get patched up at least, and if that doesn’t happen.. yea. I do respect them for doing their job. Its a well made game and after all the patches, i can finally play it without a huge FPS drop.
Okay the game is now playable without hiccups i guess. It took lots of time tho zzz
I never encountered a problem in my playthrough just after the release but I appreciate this
John, this here is approximately one half of the changelog. Visual, Quest and POI categories are missing. This patch is friggin’ massive.
the new ubisoft=CD PROJEKT RED
Uhh what? UBISOFT was never great, cd projekt red has always been great and always supported their games to the fullest. Never seen ubisoft do that.
They were supporting BF4 before, during, and after Hardline’s launch.
