Hear about cool game.
Put it on your steam wishlist.
When it goes on sale for 50% off, then you check the recent reviews. If it's mostly positive still, pick it up.
That's my rule for almost every game and it hasn't failed me yet.
Sure for the most part, but Steam reviews aren't always the most credible
I'm sure we both know plenty of games where their user rating doesn't quite reflect the game (personal experience or objectively)
The reason noone seems to remember how bad CDPR games run at launch is that they actually invest time to fix them. Yes, they shouldn't release them in this state, but after a while they are fine and age well.
not really tho, especially with their recent game, c2077 never became what it was advertised at, they even changed its descriptions of what it actually is openly at some point
I was never really invested in the CP2077 hype. When it launched, I just stood back and watched the fireworks.
Now that they've done some work on it, I've played it multiple times and can confidently say it's one of my favourite games of all time.
So from my point of view CDPR messed up but still ended up with an amazing game and that makes me trust them enough to believe that TW4 will also be amazing.
thank you for being a good example of what i meant that nobody seems to remember.
Witcher 3 ran like absolute crap, a flipping slideshow in especially bad cases, 20+ patches with 1.07 being infamous for how long it was
witcher 2, ubersampling alone made the game struggle to keep as much as 60fps
lest we forget witcher 1, its english translation and voiceover was so dogshit the definitive update was free
I'm honestly glad you had no problems playing any of their games at launch.
But next time you see their or sky other game release like shit again (assuming you have no problem again), at least try to remember that maybe, just maybe.
Others are not as lucky as you are.
