I’m convinced further with all the reported issues to wait longer until at least a 3rd patch is released before i join the adventure.
Seems like none of these issues have appeared in my play, but the one I have wasn`t correct nor started investigation.
I had the carcass issue but it seemed to be that the game expected you to approach it from one direction .
Lets say it may have sold about 5M so even if only 0.1% of gamers see a specific glitch that is still a very big amount of reports and still 99.9% of gamers wont notice that and others.
it was a common glitch hence why they fixed it, if it doesn't occur to you doesn't mean it doesn't exist
Never said it doesn't exist. What I said is that even if only 0.1% of players is affected that is still quite a lot of gamers that will be affected and should be addressed. And sure when summed all the bugs and glitches it may go over even 50% of players.
yep misread your red text , i don't know about you but for an open world game guerrilla sure make you solve it there way or the highway , an example there was a building with two windows one shuttered and the other open and large enough to enter but no aloycouldn't go through the large open window she had to pull down part of the wall to enter the same room
That is certainly something I have seem in some playing, areas where there is no good reason for you to not being able to access, let`s say their games are great but always have some areas where they lack polish.
