Unsure of whether to refund or soldier on, still haven't played again since it crashed the first time.

I bet they have most of the bugs and glitches ironed out by early February (still inexcusable), but the graphical fidelity will not improve.

Do you think they'll do something about the NPC AI? Bad NPC AI really takes me out of open world games.

They said graphics would be improved too. 2 big patches - 1 in January, 1 in February.

(Take your time 343)

Ugh, why didn't they just delay it?

They had to get it out before Christmas

Did they? I don't buy that for Mature rated games anymore.

I don't understand why anyone would think releasing a sub-par or incomplete product is a good idea. Just mind blowing.

I think it’s true that any corporation has holiday sales they aim to meet

Of course, but is the bad PR and player backlash worth it in the long run to release an inferior product to millions of consumers?

I don’t this it’s worth it, but i also don’t think the companies have grasped that reality yet

Clearly, judging by their actions so far.

I'll probably just keep it then, I don't really care much about graphics, just want a game that works.

Gamers seem to have short memories. They'll complain for a while, then hop straight on the next hype train and pre-order the next disappointing triple A game.

They've already made their money back and the reviews are all great. They'll fix the glaring issues over the next few months and probably sell millions more copies of the game.

I feel especially burned cause this is my first time pre-ordering a game and this shit happens.

Preordering No Man's Sky broke me of the habit. The only games I could see myself pre-ordering in the future are GTA 6 and RDR3.

Ever?

Tommie have you played No Man's Sky recently? It's much improved. I still struggle to get into it, though.

Yep. Always been a "buy it 3 months later" gamer. Sucks.

I check in every now and again and it's a much better game, but I can't get into it either. My Niece is getting a PSVR for Christmas, so I might fire it up on her ps4.
