- @k1u73 Its this lack of interest in depth and quality that lead us to this disastrous product. EA just going "meh they'll buy it anyways and we make our money".
I know your comments lately are all "nothing wrong with the game, its you people" but even if you like this game, you can't say it what you'd expect quality-wise from a AAA-title that has been around for two decades.
Thank god alot of people do actually voice their concern and miscontent when something like this, Cyberpunk 2077, CoD or Anthem happens because if we don't, they will keep churning out mediocrity for insane prices. - @Daeyon-be Nothing different from every game I have ever purchased.
They all had issues at release with quite a few I hated and only played for less than an hour and never once asked for refund as I either might like it at a later date as the game transforms or improves.
Cyberpunk aI have yet to play more than an hour for example. All COD games with exception to Black Ops.
TF2 is another I hate and for the same reasons many of ye hate 2042.
All of ye needs to suck it up and move on for your own sake of mental health. - @k1u73 But what if you bought Cyberpunk because of all of the story elements and things you watched in the commercials and advertisements, and when you bought it it turned out to be a battle royal game? Should we just suck it up and play the game that was severly mis advertised and not want our money back?
- @k1u73 Well not every game comes out perfectly working but at least most are good. If you tell me you're making an FPS and decide to not make a singleplayer campaign so you can focus on the multiplayer part... then you shouldn't give a game where the basic fundamental of a shooting game isn't working properly (hitreg) or your maps are so messy and obviously not well thought out, something you would see after a few playtests...
Just saying, there's a difference between having a few issues that need some work and delivering something that is nearly broken and obviously pieced together in a rush just to make money.
Obviously, I too hope this game will undergo a serious transformation, think much of the community and veterans will agree on that but the way things are looking right now, its a grimmier future than even the trailers of 2042 showed us. @k1u73 Like I said, I've never refunded any game before, neither have I felt the urge to, but this time - I do.
I bought CyberPunk 2077 on release, I played for some hours, it looked great, encountered a few bugs which was still okay for me, I just laid it aside because I want to wait for the "Next-gen patch" on the Series X before I continue.I bought Anthem on release, I played with friends, we had great fun, the end game was lacking content but we still had fun together replaying some of the same missions and I felt like I had my money worth of fun with it. they did promise an overhaul which they later cancelled, too bad, but alas.
As I wrote in my (long) message. bugs/issues/glitches are fixable, I'm sure they will fix them for this game too, but still the game will be fundamentally crippled by the design decisions, unwanted additions, lack of content and missing core functionalities
- @Kyosji not only did I get into all the hype I built a PC just to play it!!!
Either you play the game or find another. Thats what I did, found another game.
Seriously, that's advertising and marketing doing their job. Same goes for films and the food industry. Many a movie was hyped that absolutely was epic fail.
Take casino and/or lottery commercials for example that shows all the winners jumping up and down with money falling out the sky etc.
Does every one win? Of course not and I certainly hope none of ye believes that... or do you?
Outside looking in I see where it was mass hysteria as I find nothing wrong with the game thats typical of a new release. Another thread explaining how much you dislike the game, i dislike the game to but trust me, we get nowhere with those topics. If dice would have cared it would have been a change long time ago.
@SavedbyPingI very much disagree about getting nowhere with these topics. How else should everyone express their disappointment of something that costs potentially $120? It may not be instant gratification but all the negative posts add up and tell a story that nobody can ignore.
- @EdwinSpangler Agreed. If we just let this slide, they'll just keep doing it. Well, technically they did it 'again' because they haven't learned their lesson with BFV... In fact, I think this disaster is more disastrous than the previous disaster...
- @EdwinSpangler i hope you are right. For me it feels like from the release date til now havent happen much to the game. But i hope you are right.
@Daeyon-beidk how much of a change it will be. While I understand how the bf community feels just how much of that 105k that was on Steam were BF vets? How many were CoD, Apex and others trying to keep their player base via killing this game?
Not that many bf vets as the current BF games are no where near that number.
However, I'm sure some tweaks will go their way and at some point you/they should support this game rather than trash everything that they do...
As for the delivery for me it was fine. I had no crashing, very few bugs that were noticeable, game play was intense as it was fun and my i7 7700k RTX 2070 Super was clicking 60 fps on ultra.
I hear a lot of nay say but as long as I find a game I'm good and that's every time I log on every day AoW and at SO114@Tank2042ManWell, wouldn't you like to see this game reach its potential? Because if things keep going like this until March the player base will be too low to even find matches in a decent amount of time (for some, it already reached this point).
