Me as a patient gamer: “I dont understand the problem.”
I played it on a dated PC (980ti) a few days after release, maybe a week. I didn’t understand the problem either. The gaming community is extremely fickle and loves to hive mind dump on things.

I mean it WAS actually a broken mess from what I saw.

Im saying I always buy games on a deep sale well after it has been released so Im not particularly impacted.

Yeah, my point was it wasn’t a broken mess (except on last Gen consoles), but the gaming community blew its flaws out of proportion.

The game you’re playing as a patient gamer is close to the original with some polish.

It was such a mess that Sony removed it from the PlayStation store and gave out refunds.
Yes, I explicitly acknowledged that the last Gen console criticism was warranted.
Sony did that bacuse they’ve suited laws about refunds in some parts of the world for years and CDPR inadvertently highlighted that. MS, Valve and GOG left the game up and issued refunds when requested as that should be a normal part of doing business.
