People really need to grow up. He didn't lie, he even acknowledged that he said dlc would be free, but that was naive of him. The hate he's getting, and the amount of it that is utter nonsense is insane.

Also, why on earth would anybody buy a pc game on launch in this day and age? I'm not saying this to excuse broken PC games, but they're broken all the time. Why wouldn't you wait until you knew it was going to work?

Friday after the first patch I knew about the problems but I wanted to see if for myself. The thing is that I don't hate the game, I hate the whole situation cause that happens a lot. The gameplay mechanics and all that stuff, I stay quiet cause not everybody enjoy the same thing, so I can't say this game is crap because of this or that. But when the games are broken then I could be a little harsh, AC was my favorite new franchise and now I think that Ubisoft and the franchise are crap (although i love syndicate) Performance is too important for me, a game could be bland or whatever but if the level of optimization fair then it's all good. 

Quantum Break was reported with issues as well as batman and unity (although unity had problems on consoles as well).

Lately I've been buying games on console.

Except I did just buy skyrim, morrowind and oblivion on steam sale last week.

Pretty much this. God forbid somebody is dynamic and actually changes perspective.

Cause most games aren't broken? No Man's Sky is the exception... Not the Norm... Yea once a while, you get a game that is broken but PC also has an answer to those which is a refund system... And PC games generally get better over time with stuff like mods so getting it on release with the pre-order bonus stuff isn't exactly a bad thing.

Where does this nonsense notion that PC ports are always broken comes? lol

The vast majority of multiplatform PC releases are highly superior versions of their consoles counterparts, then the rest is divided between those which run equally no matter how better your pc is and, in some suspicious cases, those which work worse or they are just a simple mess, but that's the exception, not the norm.

Here's something they said regarding it in 2014 before the expansions and stuff I'm guessing came to fruition: http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/news/g545bd85d7aea2/All-Witcher-3-DLC-will-be-free/

Here's when they clean it up a little mentioning only something really big would have a price tag: http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/news/g545bd85d7aea2/All-Witcher-3-DLC-will-be-free/ 

Not contesting the high quality and value of their DLC expansions.  But regardless it's still DLC.  They're still an up and coming developer in the scheme of it all despite being founded in 1996 (according to Wiki), so we'll have to see how long they will stay hungry for positive admiration.  They have good intentions I'm sure but how long can developers really last before they're forced to do the nasty from the higher ups?

Listen, I commend every game developer just BEING a game developer.  It's insane how much work they put in and it's stupid how easily fans can just disregard their work with completely unfair and even useless comparisons to other developers.

But either way, we're still on the other side of that fence as consumers. Regarding DLC  "Choose what you want to pay for and leave the rest" is the best spin I can put on it as a positive from a gamer's POV.  I'd honestly never want to pay for DLC again, regardless of the value.  Just make a new game or something with all of your ideas or add-ons or cosmetics.  Late ideas coming to the table that you want to put in?  Make a new game by combining more ideas and then streaming them together as a fully fledged game.  *Make a standard value that's understandable without notions of stuff being left out, or as left out as they could be* 

There's no way of knowing exactly how much of a game could be left out before being put back in as an extra charge.  Yeah, we'll hear good intended developers put on a happy face to do the bidding of their Corporate Executives, but that's how the higher ups do it.  They'll put somebody the people trust out there to try and spin it and calm the masses. 

Well, the game is out. Not much point in him continuing to lie. There aren't any more day one sales to exploit.

And it's hilarious that were to the point now where instead of crapping on a developer who mislead and lied about features in his game multiple times and as recently as like a day before release, were blaming gamers instead. "why would you buy PC day one???" damn, the latest Jimquisition is dead on, lol.

Nope, if you decide to drive over a bridge then you realise the bridge has collapsed, you die!
