Heard about the huge patch coming out, reminded me that this game even exists. Figured I’d download it and pick up where I left off and at least finish the main story. 40gb! For a patch!!

the saddest part is that the game is fundamentally broken and unfinished. there is no amount of fixing and rejiggering and restoring they can do to make the game live up to the idea they had from the outset. its just a failed project.
and im speaking as someone who liked the game. for all its (numerous, glaring) flaws, theres still some good in there, and i was able to enjoy those parts of it personally. but they still utterly failed to make the game they were trying to make, from several different angles
100%. They’d have to throw most of it out and start again, the empty open world, the absolutely idiotic quest system, the “map full of icons” presentation, none of those are bugs. It’s like playing an open world game from 2013
I think if the devs were allowed to rewrite large parts of the engine and so on, it could be the game they envisioned in a few years. I also think there's no way in hell that'll happen. Like you, I had fun though - mostly because I had low expectations anyway.
I feel for the workers at CDPR, I really do, as an aside; the changelog for that patch is like 10 pages long, they must've been pushed like crazy to deliver it, and yet there's still a ton of bugs everywhere.
Yeah its telling how the only times I've heard the game being discussed is at launch when people were complaining/joking about bugs but now 5 months after it came out no one is talking about it. No memes, no reddit posts, no forum topics about its story. The problems run much deeper than the bugs.
the very first thing I wanted to know is if they fixed the cops spawning like 3 feet away from you in thin air. A lot of games spawn in enemies in a similar fashion but the way they had it spawn so close to you, and instantly was laughable. idk how "fixed" it is now but man it was so bad for release from the videos i saw.
the other thing i highly doubt they will ever fix is like the NPCs cars just doing a endless circle at a round-a-bout, with no other destination. Not even giving the NPCs even a slightly realistic driving pattern is pretty bad for <current year.>
Reads like they 'fixed' that by increasing it to 6 feet
People complained about not being chased, so they had the cops spawn in a tank that one shots you when you get 4 stars. It spawns so close it literally never misses.
