Why bother with patches when you can charge people for that upgrade? Lets pay an intern once for that fan patch then profit off the low effort. Dont worry they will never bother with updates or patches after this. The problem of future updates will start all over again with this version just like it did before. This is just another rich kid publisher cashing in right now on things they never made. The min-max of retail.
This is basically a fancy graphics update with some really stupid control issues. Its only out because they need to make money off the back catalogue of properties they bought and this is the best of the pile. This should be a free update for current owners but because there are new rich kids that own it new they want us to pay them to buy this HD graphics pack. It is the exact same game you got 25 years ago with no changes to design or gameplay. Aspyr does as little as possible, they have yet to actually make a game. Porting is the only thing they have ever done, make other peoples stuff run on other peoples stuff. But just barely enough to get the reviewers to praise them.
What kind of company puts this kind of DLC out? Trash companies. This is what trash looks like. This is how to identify that a company is trying to rip you off. DLC for making the game easier and faster so you can pay to play less means the game is intentionally slow and long.
I still own this game but am required to repurchase it because they refuse to patch the old version to work. This is the same game with updates just requiring a repurchase for patches. I will wait until they provide patches for free, I will not pay for patches on a 30 year old game.
It was trash at launch and I am still waiting for that 3rd person camera they said the game would have when they first announced it years ago. Really hate the intro, want to skip it but cant so until i can wont play it again. The whole Jackie story at the beginning should be optional not mandatory. The game lacks a level of choice we all expected to have. Instead of a game with a huge amount of freedom you have a fairly standard open world RPG with all the average trappings and the usual expected filler content. Its well done I assume, when i played it it was buggy as hell and half the quests were broken. I finished the whole game with one sword that was way OP I found at the beginning of the game, used the same broken attack on all enemies and was bored the whole time. The Silverhand stuff was really annoying and I wanted to be done with it only to discover its the whole hook of the thing. There isnt much depth beyond that. We should have gotten an open world game, we got a story driven narrative in an open environment. There is a ton of hand holding and rails pushing you along a guided path. More like option A, B, or C, instead of actual player agency.
Wow is this game a mess. The F key is locked and cannot be rebound. It stutters and freezes every 60 seconds for at least 1-2 seconds every freeze. Its more like a flash animation slide show than a game when action happens. By far one of the best character creators but once you get past that it bogs down in performance even under moderate settings. I look forward to playing this next year when they patch and fix the game breaking bugs it has now.
