Yes. Welcome to late stage capitalism.

I think if it was really late stage capitalism they wouldn’t have fixed it nearly as good as they did and just called it a day.

Thats a fallacy. You’re essentially saying because one company was able to fix their shit, the systemic problem isnt real. Thats not the case. Look at the broader picture. Companies are consolidating, building massive conglomerates and the market is hostile towards its customers.

No the systemic problem is real, but I don’t think this one independent company has succumbed fully to it yet.

one thing that dissapointed by very much, is them adding a lot of the features and fixes they implied would be there in the base game in a paid expansion.

If our wasn’t as broken as it was, it might not have ended up as good as it did.
umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 days ago
its not as good as they implied it would be tbh. its a nice story, and not much else.

I really enjoyed it and didn’t experience any bugs as I waited for it to be sorted. It was also one of the rare games that held my attention long enough to finish, so that’s probably why I think highly of it. Love that I’m being downvoted! I’ll know not to bother contributing my opinion next time.

i meant after the bugs were fixed

Most likely not since it will be made in Unreal Engine 5, though since everyone at CDProjektRed is working on Witcher 4, Unreal Engine 6 might be out and what the games made with. There were many reasons why CP2077 was broken as it was at launch, but one of the main reasons was due to using their own game engine and a ton of effort trying to support last Gen consoles.

I heard UE5 is also pretty shit. Can you correct me.

The worst i hear is its games tend to be kinda unoptimized, but how much of that is the devs not being given enough time to optimize the game before release and how much is just the engine being bad idk. I used UE4 a lot and it was pretty smooth sailing for the most part, but maybe 5 got worse in some aspects.

TLDR: UE5 can be optimized but Unreal also turned it into a bit of a tech demo for their new tech some of which can be counter productive at times.

Thanks for your input. I find UE4 very optimized on my low end machine. UE5 is a no go tho. Not it’s fault in my case, I need to upgrade.
