Forgot the store and not giving iron out regularly
Precisely. I believe the Witcher 3 sold over 20 million copies to GOW4’s 2.6 million.
In addition, there was a recent press conference referring to the preorder sales of cyberpunk in which they said the preorders are leaps & bounces higher than the Witcher and expect to see ‘a phenomenal amount of sales’.
It really does show how far consumer friendly games can get you in today’s industry.
Perhaps the micro transaction sales have developers slacking.
Yep, it’s no secret why The Witcher 3 currently holds the Guiness World Record for most awarded game. They put so much care and dedication to their craft and always try to put the consumers first.
It was implied there was more. There are forum topics dedicated to errors. Fact is, TC doesn’t deserve a break for selling a broken product no matter how many patches they put out because every patch even seems to break two other things after fixing one. The XP progression glitch is also back.
These posts are getting super old. Grow up dude.
Clearly haven’t seen Overwatch’s community.
Lol ‘hard at work making new content’. They cut content from pre-release versions to add later. That’s not exactly hard at work.
I play and have fun when possible but am also very critical because I know TC can and should be doing better.
The progression/tour/medal bugs and ranking bs is enough to merit legitimate concern and I’d hardly consider that toxic.
I seriously disagree with this. As it stands, verses is pretty much unplayable within the EU. This issue alone is game breaking.
They’re toxic yes. But it’s well deserved at this point. Every character that gets released, every skin–every Macrotransaction.
Every bit is a slap on the hand. One we didn’t deserve, and one we didn’t ask for. Look at progression unlocks. We used Gears 3 as an example time and time again as to what we would want inverse to Packs…they gave us a free battle pass and a crappy skin every 100 levels.
They completely ruined Gears but no we should be happy about how bad the game is.
We can’t just give you new characters. You gotta play 5 months of escape, then you gotta play 2 years of Horde plus 2,000 multiplayer matches
You know how our past successful games have used the Gnasher as the primary? Let’s just switch that up because that’s too tough for new players to adapt too
You know how in the past you actually needed skill to do well? Well how about we add auto aim and bullet magnetism. That way as long as your shot is anywhere close you’ll get the elimination. Everyone gets a trophy
I’d give them a break but they released a meme instead of a game.
Right on brother 
…and it is soul destroying.
There is a huge difference between a company that releases a game and then updates it to polish it and implement/rework/remove depending on community’s feedback, and TC offering a full priced aaa game at beta stage.
Puting game design choices, progression system etc aside and just talking about bugs and glitches and technical issues, you can tell the dev team didn’t debug AT ALL.
That’s the only reason why they have no break, and it may be harsh for those still working on the game since they are not the ones in charge but that’s how it is, the job has to be done.
So the community is just reporting a long list of what should have been done before 10 September.
That’s just it.
They turned gears into barbies makeover with all these scrumptious cosmetic choices. Its fabulous!
On a real note they don’t deserve a break after saying they’re listening to the fans and giving them what they want when they clearly don’t listen. Like I said before… after all the updates and adjustments in gears 4 this is what we get? A big pile of ■■■■? lol
Truth be told, when I played yesterday, I didn’t encounter an issue at all. Ranked seems to have improved with the gnasher bullet magnetism change.
Horde and escape felt fine, but they already did.
I was surprised. I have nothing to complain atm besides some subjective things line, I’d like more gears related characters., and maps.
This a full price game with less content than most games coming out. The majority of content should be there when the game launches cause it’s when u pay the most.
I agree whole-heartedly. The game was unfinished and incomplete and then they expect us to pay more for content that should already be included. It’s preposterous.
Also, before the defenders come out and say “You don’t have to buy the custom stuff, you have TOD”
No, you don’t have to buy the custom stuff, but it’s already implied they expect it by putting a custom store in the game that is $60+ retail. It’s a terrible business practice that is not in the least bit consumer friendly. Not to mention their terrible, horrible, clinging to eSports which is gross.
Everything in that store should earnable as the game should give you IRON at a respectable rate. Give 50 iron for every 10 levels gained and 100 iron for every reup. It would be a good incentive to keep playing. Seriously.
That’s simply not true. Whilst some games do require updates, some also work straight out of the box, and as others have replied, many studios get backlash when they mess up.
