I felt bad that I'm returning this after 10 mins
Uninstalled it and put it back in the case less than 15 mins in. Didn't even drive the first car. It was bar none the worst playing game I've ever experienced.
I have a base PS4 bought back when Spider-Man was bundled. Doesn't sound like a jet engine etc etc.
Games genuinely still look good on this console. Valhalla, God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Last of Us 2, Metal Gear Solid V, GHOST OF TSUSHIMA all run and feel great.
Not this one.
I have a PC to run this game so returning this is just going to cost me 10 mins of a drive. I'm sincerely not even relatively close to being mad.
But when a developer says "hey it's coming to PS4 and XBOX One" well before the PS5/Series X, I expect my money to be well-spent for a game advertised as such. Saying it "plays great on next gen" insinuates that it just NUDGES that cool experience up a notch. So really... felt kinda scammed on this one...
Lemme explain.
Filling it with a 30 day trial to HBO Max, stickers, a map and other stuff is great.
Making the game filled with content is great.
But if the game looks like you smeared Vaseline over a VHS copy of Bladerunner and the screen tears itself apart from even the slightest of moments at 20fps or below in the intro area (outside of the main city) and you're expecting high octane action, particle effects up the wazoo, and a bunch of numbers from hud to damage profiles to come on screen, you can really see where CDPR failed on this one. It looks nothing like the trailers and I've had low expectations and I have played some major let downs. Andromeda and Brink to name two of them and each with quite a few hours. This, was just something awful.
I just wished they said "just grab a next gen" a year ago.
Anyways refunding it. Yes, it is said we would get a PS5 license and further upgrades but honestly at this point, I genuinely think it was highly anti-consumer of them to even think of saying this would ever run on a base PS4. I felt like my preorder funded nothing of its development and I got nothing out of it.
If your game gives players motion sickness and it's not a flight sim, there's a problem.
