    With PC reviews pretty much lying about the game’s performance and CDPR not allowing console reviews prior to launch, i was misled into buying it on PC day 1. IGN gave it a 9/10 and most other big reviewers werent far off.

    It was pretty much a coordinated false advertisement until CDPR could get their hype money… I mean yeah they fixed it but it did take 4 years and i did already get burnt out on an inferior version of the game.

    I learned my lesson then that i can only trust community reviews and that any media outlet always has an agenda.

      Give it a go again. I am playing it for the first time right now and this game is absolutely amazing. I heard they changed quite a lot of things in patch 2.0 and we are already at 2.21. Plus how many games are receiving support so long after release. Yes, their release was a dumpster fire, but they managed to fix most of their bugs and now the game is in really good shape.

        I do believe one day i will play it and love it, really just trying to wait long enough to forget all about the 50 hours i put in after their shitty launch.

      My main issue with the main review and phantom liberty was restricting footage to b-roll footage made by CDPR.

      I played on release day with a 2080 super and thought the performance was okay for ray tracing. it ran well without it. my only issue was the draw distance and the minimap was terrible

        Yeah all of the marketing surrounding the game really felt disingenuous. This sucks because i do believe that CDPR has some great talent creating unique games.
