If you preorder or buy this, you're part of the problem.

Trans, Fat People, Etc. It's not about that.

It's about the real problem, paying a premium price for a game that is a half-baked jank mess, even the director said the game will be buggy. If you're paying $70 (or even more lmao) you should have some standard of quality paying that much, seeing they aren't focused on that and want to release a broken product should not be accepted.

If you really want to play it, play it through Game Pass and don't give them your hard earned money (or your parents hard earned money) for a subpar quality product that Obsidian is fine with releasing in a buggy mess.

I bought five copies for me and friends.

Sadly I'm not sure gamepass will solve it but I definitely believe if anyone's interested they should trial on Gamepass for sure.

People deserve what they buy.

I'll be giving 'funny' votes on negative reviews, to those who buy it despite the warnings.

Counterpoint - for a studio like Obsidian, inXile, Arkane (before it was butchered), Double Fine, Tango (before it was butchered), Bioware (before it was butchered), CD Projekt Red... or further afield Unknown Worlds (Subnautica), Mobius Digital (Outer Wilds) etc... studios that are making things you love the idea of, even if you think the release execution might suffer... pre-order the f*ck out of it.

Because everything else is turning to homogeneous BS like the 'everything soup' of GTA, and 'more live service crap'. If you like interesting, unique experiences from small studios (even ones that have been bought by EA and Microsoft) and want to see more of them, not less? Buy it. Buy it now...

Because voting with your wallet goes both ways.

They ironically get more money out of Game Pass, as well as complete control over your game without any filter.

I have gamepass and am buying it. Loved Pillars 1 and 2 so looking forward to it.

Posters screamed from the roof that KCDII was woke and I’m 40 hours in and have had no issues. I’m done listening to you idiots.

The game didn't even launch for you to say anything like that and since when are you an inspector of other people's money? The director only talked about the third person mode being Jank, she didn't say anything about bugs or incompleteness and all the gameplay I saw the game looks excellent.

I do... but almost never AAA games. If I think it's more likely games like that will get made again? Owlcat games, for example... but all sorts of random indie things in genres that seldom get titles.

Immersive Sims especially. The best genre that has never been able to make publishers enough $ to be consistently made, sadly.

I've pre-ordered almost everything released since 2005.

There's no positive to preordering, but there's also no negative, either. Why does it matter?

Please do go ahead and tell me what's objectively wrong with preordering and prove you're not just parroting someone else's sentiment.

ESPECIALLY on Steam.

And for the record, I have more respect for someone who uses the 2 hour window as a demo to test the game to see if they like it FOR THEMSELVES than baaaaaing and letting some stranger tell them what they're allowed to consider fun.

At the end of the day people can do what they want with their money. They earned it, and nobody has a right to tell them what to do. If its a ♥♥♥♥ fest then so be it. It's their choice. Yes you can have an opinion, but opinions one what others should do should be kept to yourself.

Why are you telling me what to do then?
