Speak the truth? (This post not written specifically to you)
Hahaha
All the people coming here to complain…
Standard internet affair. If it works; play on! If it doesn’t do internet search for the issue and find a bunch of potentially like minded people to share your issue with.
Ideally if tonality of conversation remains calm, helpful people will chime in with how to fix…
Two posts up; saying it is broken on other systems therefore I dont have to fix it (especually when these types then go on to complain and ‘save others the hassle’) is a short falling with users… not product.
Sure product is fairly typical of large open world games. . Especially when they have side quests and countless playthrough methods. No amount of beta testing will find all issues. We need to give it some time in the wild. (As every other open world/large scale rpg does)
Yes this game may have launched a few weeks ahead of time… but I am happy it did. (I get to enjoy it now)
This game has a lot going right for it and VERY FEW THINGS going wrong for it.
The good far outweighs the bad.
We only have to look at how many people complain how sixty hours in they have major bugs (sixty hours you say?) Sure games with seven hours of total playtime launch polished- how hard is it to playtest a linear seven hour game?
I have been gaming since before 8 bit consoles and have played most platforms. RPGs are always the latecomers to a new platform. Why? So much work.
Hence no one touches them nowadays and the few good series we have had have been ‘dumbed down’ for the masses. (Morrowind》Oblivion》Skyrim as an example, for roleplay mechanics…each iteration being made more mainstream, and hence commercially viable.
One of the biggest issues facing this game is the crowd playing it.
Cryengine and beautiful and being shown to use multicore cpus really well. So lots of enthusiasts and tourists are coming by to see the nice looking game that makes use of their hardware. They may not be familiar with launch roleplaying games.
What we do know is that the devs are full on and making it happen. This isnt a ship and forget product. It is going to get there.
Personally I play skyrim with no crosshair. Always have. Prefer it. I hate save anywhere games generally as everyone finishes them overnight. (No challenge).
I do think a save and exit option should be here… life happens. (Many games allow this temp save option)
Otherwise; bugs?! Not that bad (par for the course, and dont let no rosy coloured glass wearers who have forgotten previous ordeals with older games tell you otherwise)
It is getting better and quickly.
Most issues that users are posting across the internet appear more likely to be game file fragmentation on consoles. Many games rerelease a ‘master file’ once majority of niggles are sorted and it can help performance.
I have no doubt this game will shape up.
I am not some entitled gamer either. Single parent who never buys new release games anymore (jaded by industry practices), and yet I think if KCD as one of my best ever rpg purchases. (Even better than interplay titles from yesteryear)
Lets be reasonable with our voices.
We have freewill. But lets not place our worldy anger onto a software title. (Unless it is Windows which is an actual issue for the planet to contend with)
Modern gamers who just want trophies and need to rip through games on launch for bragging rights are not this games intended market.
So far from it that not even the devs realised that demographic would prove the biggest issue on release.

I didnt come here to change people minds, but a few here really should broaden their perspective. Would be helpful in the real world too
