Yeah, that's some extra bullshit.
Just own up to it instead of trying to slide some blame to users.

yep..sigh
I just hope it ain't diablo 3 territory and for beth, I just hope they don't get a pass for their game's bugs and such adding to the charm of the game
That is what it really comes down to.
If sales aren't really impacted, why would the publisher change this behavior?
And here I thought they'd just ignore the complaints like so many other devs have done with shit PC ports.
I love all the qualifications though. "We're sorry to the loud minority that are having problems"

Game development doesn't end as soon as a game is content and mechanics complete, you actually need to test it, do QA and FIX WHAT'S WRONG BEFORE YOU RELEASE THE GAME. The mentality of "we can fix it with a patch" has gone way too far. Like smarter computers make the user's less efficient, standards for a day one release have been slipping for a long time and now we're at the point where most recent AAA releases are terrible on day one and require months of patching to perform well. And if you release enough games like that, people will stop caring and just say "the jank is the charm" and give it GotY awards regardless of performance
EA should release future games like this for free, then charge for the patch. That way we get a playable game we can enjoy. Do you see
I feel for the dev team. You know they didn't want the game to come out in this state. The blame is entirely on the publisher here. They have a special game overshadowed by corporate greed.
Jeez. Makes me curious just how bad it was before that delay 😬

1. F off w/ "a % of PC players"
2. F of w/ "multithreaded chipsets intended for Windows 11 but being used w/ Windows 10".
Just take the L. You knew the game was not performing, but were overruled and forced to release it to keep the marketing and retailer schedules coordinated.
I was really looking forward to this game. I was going to buy the fancy edition for full price at launch. But now? See ya for that Black Friday sale after the next 6 months of performance patches. And if they don't get the PC version patched up? Then i guess I wait for it to hit PS Plus.

Wait what?
I waited to build a new PC til the new Ryzens were out. It's their top CPU and a 4090….what's mismatched lol?
Poor response, but the key takeaway for me is that they are promising to fix it.
That's something.
That's something.
I'm just going to take issue with the "are now" part of that statement. Trust me, it's a complaint that's well over 20 years old at this point.
It's a sad trend that is destroying people's confidence or for that matter any excitement or hype for a title like most that has been worked or slaved upon for years. The reaction is not fair I agree but fuck me they knew it was broken and still released it anyway. That is pure bollocks and it's got to stop, happening for practically every AAA game.
Are the subtitles readable in the game or too small/tiny I'm too scared to even check videos.
huh? they are suppose to fix it. that's a requirement. You can't ship a broken game for people to buy and play and expect not to fix it.
You'd think so, but there's been cases in the past when they haven't bothered.
I disagree. Buy a game day 1 if you know it runs well and the reviews are credible. But don't buy a game before you know how it runs.
If there was a way to know, absolutely, but publishers hide these things or reviewers don't bring it up.
Fuck it. Go full scorched Earth and just ban reviews from the site that have shown to ignore performance. They're a huge part of WHY these companies release this shit.
Fallen Order was also a shitshow at launch. It looks like Respawn haven't learned their lesson.
"Fuck it just release it" indeed.
"Fuck it just release it" indeed.
I think that's a fair point. As the journalist herd thins we have less and less of the folks that may have raised these issues.
