PS4 - Should i wait a little bit?

Hardware & System
#1

I’m on ps4. So far i absolutely love the game! I have put around 9 hours into the game but somehow i feel like the game is “unfinished”. As some of you might know since the release of the 1.03 patch the game has suffered some graphical/textural problems on the ps4. I’m not here to talk about i should just have gotten it on pc instead. I have no problem with the overall graphics on the ps4 but it is just that the texture pop-ins and graphics have taken a severe hit since the latest patch. Warhorse have said that they did not “downgrade” anything. At least intentionally. Hopefully it will be resolved int the next patch. Hopefully the next hot fix. They will also address the painful lock picking and pickpocketing on consoles. I’m not having that hard of a time with it as some seem to. (I like the challenge). But clearly it was designed for pc.

So i’m thinking about waiting to play the game until some of the launch bugs and the consequences of patch 1.03 is resolved. This way i feel i will get the best experience with the game. Thoughts?

I wish I would have. It’s ruined the game for me. 90+ hours invested and only 55 of them in playline. Nearly all of it due to gamebreaking bugs where I have had to reload 3-4 saves back to fix it. I broke the game early on during the Neuhof Investigation. The first 30 hours were relatively smoothe. The last 20 have been horrendous. Crashing every half hour, infinite loading screens when trying to eat out of cauldron’s and trying to engage dialogue with main-quest characters to progress, dialogue not being spoken and the list goes on. I’ve captured a few over my course of play and will upload them sometime. It seems the further into the game you get, the more bugs you encounter. Poor Bernard is broken af, byfar the most broken AI in the entire game and that says a lot.

I’m on Xbox One btw. From what I have read, PS4 version is even worse.

That sucks. I think i will wait. (It’s going to be tough. At least one more week until the next big update)
I’m not sure which console has it worst but i’ve heard that some Xbox players is still waiting for the earlier updates.

Idk, It prompted me to download a 20GB patch on Day one, not sure if there have been any others. As long as this game has been in development and as small as the company is, I have doubts that a few weeks patch can fix even 1/100th the problems. Probably best to stay updated and hopefully they release patch notes along the way. I won’t be playing it again for at least a year.

I really hope the next patch will fix some of the worst bugs. I’m really frustrated, I can’t even complete the first quest.

On PlayStation we had the Day One Update (23 GB - 1.01) then a 13 GB (1.03).

#7

Ohh ok, yeah, I didn’t get a 1.03 update. Kinda glad, it sounds like it made it completely unplayable. I’ve skated by but once I start a game, I have to finish the story.

#8

idk what you guys are doing in game to break it or cause bugs. but other than my saves not actually saving and not realizing until its too late. I have experienced only very minor glitches on ps4.

#9

I’ve not had a game breaking bug either. I just want to experience the game like it was on the Day One Update for PS4. Update 1.03 has made textures worse and the texture rendering pretty bad. That is why im reconsidering playing the game until this has been resolved. This way i can get the Best experience. Pretty immersion breaking when houses only finish rendering 10 feet from you.

are you on ps4 pro? i dont want to update to 1.3. i have the ps4 slim. not sure if it affects ps4 slim

#11

Yes i’m on the ps4 pro. If the texture rendering gets fixed i’m fully satisfied!

You are lucky if you only experienced a few bugs, my 80 hours spent playing was an excruciating test of patience and I quit on mainquest 16 due to, surprise surprise a game breaking bug. I really wanted to give this game a chance but it was unplayable, even with the massive useless updates.
