The user scores on Metacritic are rough. The game has definitely hurt CDPR good reputation among the hardcore community. With that said, I'm certain CDPR will improve the game performance as much as possible in the upcoming months.

Patch is out, I’m hearing it works wonders on frame rates. Haven’t had any issues on the SX.

Really love what I've been playing.

The game works well (framerate wise) on the PS5 and the Series X since the beginning.  It's the last gen version that's bad.

Does not look impressive at all on XBX/PS4 compared to TLOU2 or RDR2. That engine is not optimized for these older machines anymore.

for someone playing this on ultra specs, how does the crowed of people walking around the city compare to the original trailer and is there alot going on in the city? Has there been a drop in quality?

Another reason to wait, HDR is faked like RDR2. From HDTVTest

Hopefully it can be fixed better than RDR2, currently it behaves more like a brightness slider

It's strange, everyone I know who's playing the game seems to love it. Critics love it (90 on MC is quite good). I guess it's pretty bad on console right now (unfortunate), but once you get past the issues the game itself sounds very good. I'm eager to play it once they've ironed out the kinks.

Sounds like people are just eager to trash it. Reminds me of the last time a game had progressive features and options, suddenly everyone hates it and is making up a dozen excuses why the trans/lesbian person isn't the reason.
