Same with the Witcher 4 lol

2.5 games of geralt? Just fine! 0.5 games as ciri? BoRiNg!!!

Yes ciri “existed” in the previous games but we never saw her and we never played as her until the Wild Hunt.

You’re the one taking it to gooner/sexist territory, us fans of the series know the characters and when the overall face-shape changes but keeps defining features like the scar on her cheek, it’s a little unexpected and strange at first.

I agree.

As someone else pointed out, Geralt looked quite different in the game vs the first cinematic launch trailer.

So who knows, time will tell. Also keep in mind it’s a new engine

The worst release for CDPR ever, I say this as a CDPR fan.

GOOD

I can’t wait!!! A little sad the OG Ciri VA didn’t come back tho

Oh, well, if it’s not proprietary anymore, no problem!!! Did you not read the context regarding the impact to other existing and in-progress projects?

Also I like how you threw out POSIX as if that somehow makes this concept not only feasible but also fits into profit margins to be able to secure the additional funding. Who will sign up to contribute time and resources and stick to those same standard long term? EA? Ubisoft? I didn’t say it couldn’t be done I said it’s not something corporate would ever go for.

Go ahead and tell those big corpos to stop being anti social, I’m sure that’ll secure the funding and commitments necessary industry-wide

Yeah that would be awesome but it’s easier said than done (to no surprise, I’m sure).

One of the big issues I see from a developer standpoint is the potential for leaking proprietary code that they may not want to publicize like things related to authorization, server side anti cheat implementations, etc.

Why would they care? The product is done right? Well every project is not written from scratch and so to publish this stuff it could incur risk to the org’s other current/future projects in addition to helping outside sources get a leg up on said other current/future projects.

This could be dealt with potentially as well but that means extra dev resources and time and potentially inter-org collaboration to develop common OS standards but again that’s work that does not generate $$$

I’m not defending these assholes mind you, I just understand the blockers in the way. The greedy fucks could indeed do this but they never will because of said $$$

I’m rooting for her!!

For the most part yes, but not always and also once it gets too big you lose those same creative minds to the sea of trash and mediocrity

Everyone who uses hair dye is mentally ill haha so funny!!!

Who upvotes this braindead shit?

Personally I check steam’s popular new releases and upcoming releases lists to stay up to date

Broken promise after promise, missed release date after release date, broken feature after broken feature after every rework

it’s clearly a fucking 13-year-old scam, it’ll be goddamn voting age before it’s released.

Early access is one thing, production on this thing begin TWENTY GODDAMN ELEVEN.

thirteen years ago, that ain’t early access, that’s a fucking scam that ain’t ever delivering.

Who are you trying to sell this broken mess of lies to? This is the definition of sunk cost fallacy lol.

Yeah keep having fun without us in your thirteen year old tech demo!! We certainly won’t miss the broken mining ships, the random wipes, the endless bugs that toss you out of your ship into space for bumping into something. I’m sure they’ll get to all the stretch goals too, all 65million dollars “worth”! You really showed us

Automatically assume the worst? WE’VE HAD OVER A DECADE to get to this point.

LMAO you’re the MAGA-parallel here.

Is it really “love to hate” or is it just that after a decade of failed and ignored promises and dates year after year after year nobody has any real faith. 65 million dollars in stretch goals and it’s still a fucking broken mess, endless examples.

The squadron demo fucking crashed when it was shown at the con, yet its feature complete but also not releasing until 2026.

Have you even seen the insanity that is the stretch goals? https://robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals

It’s all but a grift, and here you are defending the grifters. Maybe in ANOTHER decade they’ll actually deliver what people were promised (and paid for!) years and years ago.

Looks like a fun game isn’t what is being discussed here.

What IS being discussed is if this so called “feature complete” game is ever gonna come out. If its feature complete how is it crashing in the first demo they show? 2026 is a long ways away for a feature complete game.

As a dev, I realize feature complete doesn’t mean done but it also doesn’t mean an extra two years lead time before release either.

Just like the rest of Star citizen, aspirational date after date with no serious commitment. What they do release is either a little or a lot broken. This shits been going on for over a decade, but yeah it’s totally different now (but like, not now, but in 2026!)

….but it lOoKs LiKe A fUn GaMe!!!

Hey look, it’s one of those gullible marks.

“Feature complete” but they can’t release it for another two years? Hmmm…… 🤔

As a dev myself this shit is hilarious

12+ years

hundreds of milllions of dollars invested

65+ million dollars in stretch goal funding

All that and you get:

a cool tech demo that you can play (when it’s not broken or wiped)

hahahahahahahahahahaha
