Geez! I watched the first few minutes of fightincowboy review on it and he was praising it saying the best thing since Elden Ring. I'm sure the gameplay is great, but what a way to get your game reviewed bombed for good reason. I'm sure this will go on sale soon enough if they don't make any changes. What a disappointment, micro transactions should never exist on Single Player games let alone most games. Scummy Capcom!
I already clocked a handful of hours into the game, I've been lucky enough not to experience any issues at all with a high ish end system. I've been having a blast, and the game is everything I wanted it to be, but man, it's weird seeing the rest of the internet having a bad time with it.
Saw that someone was crashing on the first playable section of the game repeatedly and that blows to see. What really gets me is the mtx stuff, I don't pay it any attention and Im having a great time and it hasnt been in my face one bit.
What's really getting me down too is seeing how people are having a bad time with the game while Im having a great time but it feels like I shouldnt be. Is anyone else experiencing something similar?
That was my experience playing Cyberpunk at launch while everyone was up in arms about the performance issues. I was just quietly enjoying it and knew it was just a matter of time for the devs to resolve those problems.
I'm admittedly less patient/tolerant of microtransactions though, because they're intentional. They're the reason I feel like the mobile game market turned into to a cesspool.
Yeah I pretty much had this exact situation with Cyberpunk as well, maybe we are just lucky with our performance.
After reading your comment though, I feel like you're right about the microtransactions. While it does not affect me and my enjoyment of the game, it is a bad practice which ends up bringing down the reputation of an IP I like a lot, which is bad for everyone.
Thanks for the perspective and insight!
