Well, the criticism started with the state of base PS4 and XOne versions of the game. And the way CDPR hid those versions as long as possible. Which is in my opinion a valid criticism. But trashing other versions of the game is definitely an exaggeration. While there are bugs and dips, it is nothing we haven't seen before from western developers in big, loved games like Skyrim and Witcher 3. |
First gameplay reveal was in 2018. The mid-gen upgrades for PS4 and Xbox One were both out by then, and the gameplay shown was far and away some of the most technically demanding we'd ever seen. This was always a game being targeted at high-end hardware, mainly PC, and there was no good reason to even expect a current-gen release. Anyone that took that risk with base systems, at least gets a free next-gen upgrade. |
And that makes it ok somehow? When someone is paying 60$ it is not supposed to be "taking a risk" when we are talking about a product of a respectable company. If the game wasn't meant for current gen consoles then it shouldn't have been released on current gen consoles, it is as simple as that. Base consoles can still run demanding games well enough when optisimed. Games like GTAV, Red Dead2, Ghost of Tsushima.. etc. The free next-gen upgrade is great for those who are willing to get into next gen soon. But it doesn't make the problem go away. People have every right to complain about these practises.
