Let's review bomb the game, until fixed.

[fecske]

There is no excuse releasing a game that is not working properly, I had few crashes, I experienced the A-Life spawn bug, but in general the NPC's behavior is wrong, they can see you hiding in buildings, even the old Stalker feels better in this regard. Also the daylight cycle is wrong, you can play 5 minutes in the sun and then half hour in the dark. Come on guys - who feel this way - downvote the game to force the devs to act acording to the situation. (If you are not experiencing issues you can leave the positive review, there is a freedom to review). There are so many elements not polished that maybe the game needs another year to work properly. The game should be in the "mixed" review state, not at all at "mostly positive". I'am a fan of the series, but I have some standards, this is not a finished game.

I wholeheartedly support this, but I'm afraid that the legions of consoomers greatly outweigh those who think for themselves.

Honest ... for me i have had 2 crashes in 26 hours of play ...
almost no FPS drops avg 70 frames.
1 or 2 bugged quests.
a few other minor bugs nothing game braking.

The issue is everyone's PC has different hardware and software.

Every game that works fine for you on release there are many people who it does not work for.

There are more people who the game works fine for than them the game does not.

Give the some time to collect data and fix the issues.

Review bombing is childish behaviour. Just report the bugs like an adult.
Btw. in 16 hours of play I had zero crashes, zero stutter, zero 5-10 fps drops.
I do have FPS drops in settlements on my latptop, but exploring its 60fps (3070 laptop). I started playing on Geforce Now Ultimate - flawless perfomance on Epic with DLAA instead of DLSS and with FrameGen, settlement fps drops are barely noticable.

It's not just about fps drops and crashes, there are core elements wrong. The NPC system is not working at all properly, it needs a complete overhaul, not some small fix.

It's not childish to band together and take action in order to influence change. However, insulting people for suggesting solutions is indeed childish.

Look what happened with Helldivers 2. It was review bombed until the developers made substantial changes.

It's people influencing the market as they should.

Not childish, they have statistics for sales and possible money loss can move the managament to a right direction. It is completely reasonable to review bomb a game if the audience got a half finished game. We payed for the product, we can review bomb it. Release a functional game and you get no review bombs, simple.

Sounds quite awful to do so, but if you keep silence then it will continue to happen again and again with future releases

The game is absolutely amazing although I have problems myself but it is due to my skill. The fact that someone expects something revolutionary from the game or I don't know what is his business and he should think about himself. Show me a single game of this size that is absolutely fine-tuned and perfect at the time of release. Only an idiot can expect things like that. He clearly doesn't know what development entails and should study these things rather than comment. I've been working in QA for about 10 years and 7 as a manager... For me the game definitely has flaws but nothing major that would have a huge impact on the release or quality of the game. So comment was reported.... I ma waiting for reason "Stupidity of writer"... I definitely will use it here for more than 90% topics here.

You obviously dont understand what review bombing is. Leave a bad review if the product is bad or faulty, thats fine and fair. Review bombing means leaving a massive amount ofnegative reviews even if product is good out of spite etc. for example if a game has a female protagonist etc.

The stupid notion is that review bombing this game would influence the development in a more positive way. The devs are doing their best to patch the game. Will it take 3-, 6- or 12 months to make it great? I don't know. Review-bombing is a better course of action if the devs/publishers are taking the game in a bad direction. It's not the case here. It just needs more time to cook. Patience is key, not "thinking for yourself", unless you can up that thought process considerably.

If the reviews going down the steam sales are going down, there is a correlation between reviews and sale.

Let's report people who beg for review bombing...
