Requested a refund,why?

[Impromptu]

Not a complaint,just wanna share.
Refunded because:
This game looks like it was made in 2014,with worse than RDR2 optimization,graphics...I don't know what to say,except is that Witcher 3,made like 5 years ago ,looked way better ,than this game in 2020,or Metro Exodus,or whatever,I tried tweaking every setting,and it just looks ..not enjoyable.

And most important, the world...it looked so alive in videos..yet in game all NPCs behave the same,they are all staged,you can't come talk to people about random stuff,they just do all the same stuff,all the same ,same food coking stands everywhere and useless stuff ,minimum of items around the world(nor you can interact with them), I mean...Oblivion had more variety in its world ,and it came out over 10 years ago, the Division 1 had way better graphics and item detalization around the world.

Well,all I can say I just expected way more .Not interested in wasting any time more in this .

Imagine playing 6 hours of an open world game and coming to this conclusion, What a useless opinion.

[Chili Dogs]

Cool.

Learn to do research and don't cheap out on tech for AAA games

I love the utter lack of genuine responses to this. Fanboys, I swear.

You do realize the game began production a decade ago right...? It's also released on the verge of a new tech generation. I'm not defending it for its shortcomings, but I certainly wasn't expecting it to be perfect from the get-go. It's way more reasonable rn to criticize it for the sheer range of strange bugs at release, but those can get ironed out in time. I don't blame anyone for refunding it for that reason.

Yeah I'm surprised at how dated the graphics look, and nothing like what was ever shown. I had moments where I thought of PS3 games that looked better.
Guess it explains why CDPR put such a tight leash on reviewers and why they weren't able to show their own footage.

So to your first point, it's suppose to look like it was made in 2014, but more specifically 2011 which is when they started to develop it.

Second thing, The Witcher 3 might look way better but you have to remember it has no density at all, it's easy to make something look better when all you're improving is just a few trees, some houses and a cave. Not so easy when it's an entire city with NPCs and reflections, so of course it's infinitely harder to make this game as polished, especially the day of release.

Now as far as the NPCs are concerned, I'm in 100% agreement with you there, they did an absolutely horrific job with the NPCs they have absolutely no depth what so ever, every one of them have around 1 line and then the next thing they say is "..." which is beyond bad. And I have told them that so they would know to fix it.

[Skarmo]

All I can say is I completely disagree.

[>//The_FALCON]

it looks like it was made in 2014 bc it was made in 2014

I agree totally. It does feel like a game from 10 years ago, and not even a very good one. Even the latest Deus Ex, which was pretty bad, was more engaging than this is so far. The overall feel of the game, particularly the combat, is really stale and unsatisfying. Mainly because the controls are bad and everything feels really janky.

[Dominian]

I knew all of this from watching 30 seconds of gameplay two years ago. That's why I can take the game for what it is, a badly optimized hunk of clunk with janky animations, a terrible UI, only made for screenhots and a story to toss onto the garbage pile with the entirety of its stupid Cyberpunk setting (which doesn't make sense in any aspect of its own wordbuilding)

Your problems arise from buying into the hype. And unlike The Witcher, I can actually play through the story this time. Probably. It's pretty repetetive and stupid so far. All the character deaths made me happy so far, as every single one of them is an annoying weak idiot.

+1

[SalaciousBCrumb]

as much as i want to love the game (i love anything cyberpunk) I feel the pain, everything you said was true. I was sorely disappointed.

Because what is there to respond to? The OP is complaining about things being in this game that are also in all the games he listed as being positives.

Oblivion had static npcs, so did Metro.
OP is likely just trying to troll, Or is handicapped in some fashion upstairs.

[Dave3d]

I refunded because I forgot I got the game on gog a long time ago.
I cant play it yet, until tomorrow. But, yeah, a full open world game is not going to look like a smaller mapped game, because it wont have the engine or cpu/gpu resources that smaller mapped games can use to make them look better.
Also, TW3 was not as good looking at launch as it is now either.
