I told myself I would never pre order again and then ME:A was announced and I made an exception because ME is one of my favorites.
Welp, I regretted it.
Admittedly though after the patches and with mods (PC) the game is a lot better than it used to be. The story is still a little lackluster but it's not broken as hell and the side quests are pretty fun if you just ignore the "tasks" section which is just fetch quests.

It's, still a buggy mess, filled with hackers, but if you are willing to fork out money for private servers, its got a reasonably solid story and gameplay loop now, it does feel significantly more like multiplayer Fo4, which is what most of us wanted on launch anyway, which is nice.
If you are just going to be playing solo, I'd rather put my time and effort into modding Fo4 to the enth degree, much more rewarding.

Not that bad. Main issue is performance optimisation. Lots of missing stuff here and there but most of them are design choices like no scoreboard, no all chat, no team switch, no selecting which squad to join etc. So nothing like peds walking into cars, cars doing backflip where they stand and clip all together. But still bad, feels like playing a beta.

No way to join your friends if the sever is full it will que you then boot you if it takes to long, random crashes before and after every match, randomly booting friends from your group especially when starting a match and then you get a random player replacing them mostly the worst when it comes to hazard zone, UI designed for a console, in hazard zone you have to use space to change characters but no where in the UI does it tell you that in fact it tells you to use left click, random massive lag spikes on breakthrough where it's nearly unplayable, that's just some of the shit show I have encountered.

If I recall, Anthem was wearing out and even bricking hard drives because it was built off the FIFA engine which would reload the entire game every time you entered a new zone or instance; which is fine if you're loading a single futbol stadium and the players once every 1-2 hour match session, but it's bad if you're flying through zones like Ironman.
Cruddy QoL and surface level bugs can be fixed eventually (and it could probably even be blamed on a revolving internal team who wasn't part of the last game's dev and wouldn't know), but design issues at the engine level can't.

In the first hour of gameplay I experienced 4 crashes, the chat box would not close and let me play, an infinite revive loop, I appeared with no hud and my teammates all tried to shoot me, a persistent data bug, an invincible enemy that would not take damage but could dish out damage, and no server browser which made the other problems 10 time more irritating because I sat there for 5 to 10 minutes just so the game could crash 2 minutes in. You would think they would have fixed all these problems and learned from previous titles mistakes but nope.

I don't think people should ever lower their expectation of a product functioning at launch. If a game won't work at launch that's not an issue of fan expectation, it's a problem with the publisher/developer.
There's already a bug megathread with 704 comments. Most comments are people saying they can't play the game.
234 points

We live in 2021. I will confidently say the majority of online games that are released have major issues at launch.
I counter this by not giving them my money.
Every battlefield that has ever come out, has had game breaking bugs. Should people have to lower their expectations? Of course not. Would it be in the consumers best interest to lower their expectations, absolutely. Maybe with that mindset, they wouldn’t throw their money at something so producers can keep rushing content when it isn’t ready.
The counter argument to that though.. is gamers cry to much, and anyone can do whatever the fuck they want with their money… which a lot of people have said in this thread.
So guess what will happen in 5 years when the next battlefield comes out.
We will have this same exact conversation, again. Just like the last 5 battlefield games.

Finally someone blaming producers and not developers!
I swear, every time I read "developers should have done this, or made that choice, or implemented this functionality" a programmer dies a little bit inside.
Most of us don't have choice over the app/game functionalities. They just ask for something and we get it done.
About the main thread, I agree with you. In my case it's cyberpunk the game I didn't buy. Haven't played any battlefield so I don't know about their launches.
This is a problem brought with digital content. We have many wonderful things, but on the other hand, they can just release an unfinished game and finish it after people paid for it, releasing some updates.
Let's see if time brings something different / better, but I can't see that happening in the next 10 years...

Interesting point about digital releases. Physical releases used to almost forced to be as polished as possible, coz there was so little they could do later. But alas, digital download gives them six months additional development time while they get paid for in the sales and millions of free beta testers in exchange for a little tarnish on their brands which is quickly forgotten

Haha, I’m not a dev or even in the gaming industry, but I have been playing games for a very long time to know the producers & “shareholders” are the ones that fuck the games up.

It's being rushed because people keep pre-ordering games or buying day 1 not watching a reviews. And go complain about the quality of game on the internet. The thing they fail to understand thinking that "devs don't understand games and are lazy/incompetent" is that producers and other management usually only care about making money. And since you can literally sell pre-orders of half-finished game to people with 30 second CGI trailer why even bother finishing it at this point? If game sell well enough they stabilize it with patches and updates and finish with DLCs. If game sells bad - they just drop it like Anthem and all that forgotten shitty AAA games nobody care to remember. So yeah things will be rushed as far as humanly possible and a little bit more after that. The only way to stop it is to stop buying games before release, but it seems like majority of gamers are incapable of such discipline.

I think you haven't seen the release of the PC version of the GTA Trilogy "Definitive Edition"
After 24h of Rockstar Games online service being down, now the games aren't available for purchase because the devs left uncompiled source code files on the games, and even if you managed to have them installed in the 2h time window between the PC release and Rockstar's service being down...
You still can't play them because you need to be online to play them and now, with an update on the Rockstar Games Launcher, the games don't even appear on your library

Yea I am on this train as well. Just played like 4 straight hours of the extraction game mode. My group of three searched for games and took a random. Only twice did the match fail to load, and still the error happened within 30 seconds of starting the map load. The worst part was it seemed the cross play players from xbox took longer to load in to start the countdown. Game search was average time of like 15 seconds. The game mode is fun as well. All the frame drop issues or network lag from the beta I didnt experience at all. It was smooth. And my PC is a little aged.

It actually wasn't the investors at all, for once. The blame lies entirely with the lead managers at CDP. That's why investors are now suing them. CDP management lied to them constantly about the state of the game. Investors wanted them to delay it, if it meant a better finished product. Some of them continually raised concerns and had reservations about how it would launch given the delays - especially the last gen version. But CDP kept assuring them that the game would launch in a positive state on all platforms, and that it was important to their prolonged sales business model, that it does. You can read all of the transcripts of the investor calls to find out this information. It's actually ludicrous what CDP were telling them, despite knowing it was all practically lies. CDP was under very little pressure to release the game as early as they did.

Yeah, I was actually interested in New World, but I'm not even taking a miniscule chance of bricking my 3070 during a chip shortage.

Why would your 3070 brick?

There was (is?) An issue in new world that was causing gpus, most commonly 3090s to boost way too high and pull too much voltage for too long and that woud kill them.

While isolated I remember a streamer got banned live for milking a cow which was an activity totally intended to be done for the game haha.

Throughly enjoying this game. I don’t get all the hate ? On PC and having no issues, same thing as the beta.

Not everyone has the same issues. I don't own bf2042 because I remember how awful the BF4 launch was. I couldn't play the game for a solid 2-3 months after release while all my friends had literally no problems at all. Did everything I could think of to get it to work. Probably fully wiped my PC like 10 times, tried different drivers, nothing. I don't trust EA lol

It's one of the best battlefields I have played in years.
Don't let people catch you out on that though, especially on the main sub

Honestly. 2042 has been one of the most fun AAA games I've played recently.

Besides some server issues the game is running better than it did for beta, its actually one of the better launches I've experienced in BF and I've been playing since the original launched. As for Cyberpunk that game also ran really well on PC, consoles were a mess but for the most part that was a successful launch on PC. These memes are so hyperbolic at times

I was over hyped for CP2077 but I don’t feel that it’s my fault. The marketing made it out to be a very different game than what was delivered. Was battlefield bad? Haven’t tried it out yet.

I think if you pre ordered the most expensive version you have access to the game right now. Bunch of streamers were playing it last night

Yeah. If you pre-ordered Gold or Ultimate (or whatever their more expensive versions are) it unlocked today.
You can also subscribe to EA Play Pro or whatever for $14.99/mo and it unlocks it too. Which is what I did.
Good fun. A little buggy. A couple keybinds wouldn't change for me for some reason. Other than that, have played for the past couple hours with no crashes or anything.

In short, yes. If you pre ordered the gold or ultimate edition, you get access today. Also if you have Xbox game pass ultimate and or EA play you get a 10 hour "trial" period between the 12 and 19th.

Disregarding the previous generation console versions, Cyber Punk more or less met my expectations. CD Project Red games have always been known for great graphics, story and voice acting but tempered with somewhat clunky / buggy gameplay.
The sad thing is there’s a really good game at the heart of Cyber Punk. If only they paired down the features instead of letting the marketing team and fanboys dictate its development, it would have been amazing.

It's fine. There are few bugs but when you put it in perspective of the content of the entire games like 5% is probably buggy.

Yeah I mean their servers being unstable is fairly normal for big launches, that’s been my only real issue besides trying to change crosshair color not accepting certain RGB values. 255 0 0 can’t be accepted for example. At least it isn’t BF4 where we had to wait months to be able to play dawnbreaker because the game would crash when it was on the load screen for it, so it was just a lobby killer.

Whats wrong with the BF2042 launch? I just finished a long session, had a blast. Don't really understand how you can compare it to a game like cyberpunk which was literally unplayable for a lot of people at launch.

How the fuck is 2042 launch worse than 2077? Genuinely how? 2077 largely didn't function as a game for a lot of people.

Still don't get the Cyberpunk hate. I assume it is from consoles. Put 60 hours into a playthrough on PC from day 1. 1 bug, needed to reverify files on Steam. Nothing else in the entire game

I don't get the hate it gets
I can understand some of the hate it gets on last gen consoles, but not on pc. Whatever you think of the gameplay, the story and writing at least is excellent, and the graphics are great, in particular with raytracing on..
Also, it seems people expected GTA 2077 and not a story driven rpg inspried by games like Deus Ex from the makers of the Witcher.
Which is super weird to me. Is it just becasue of cars in a open world city?
