The review copies sent out also had Denuvo anti-tamper DRM, which they removed for the main release.

In a few games, this effected performance.

That live quick look Giant Bomb is doing on Wednesday should be interesting if they can’t get the day 1 patch

People watching the leak streams: how bad has the performance been on consoles? I know they are still getting another patch but apparently that's the only pre-release indication we are getting

They haven't been fans of any CDPR games, Witcher 3 is the only one they gave any time to and even then very little. Witcher 2 they outright ignored so them not being fans? Not a surprise and not really an issue.

I think that whether or not GiantBomb liked previous CDPR games, they have enough accumulated experience to know whether or not 'game work' and everyone can probably hold off on running to find excuses to dismiss their opinions out of hand.

I've played so many janky games at release, all of the bugs reported seem quaint, to me. CDPR also have a proven track-record of putting a lot of polish on their games in the six months after release, so...

So without quoting all your TLOU2 posts which are loving terrible did you seriously open the discussion by openly calling Abby a dude?

It’s a key mechanic. It’s like playing Mario without knowing jumping in into blocks yields power ups. Giant bomb (with the exception of Vinny) should not be trusted for poo poo.

No harm in trying both out! If you can sync your save across PC/GeForce Now I absolutely plan to give this a go at work during lunch.

Is the EXE self contained? I'm curious if they called it anything funny internally if you run the .NET exe through a decompiler like dnspy or something.

witcher 2 was #6 on their 2011 game of the year list, and i recall being annoyed by how much they talked about it on the podcast back when i listened to it.

I did not find this review good whatsoever. It is mostly plainly descriptive and tells me information about things I can do in the game that I have already known for the past year. I still have no idea if it's actually a good videogame or a good RPG. All of the reviews I've seen thus far do confirm that it is a buggy videogame but everyone already knew this was going to be the case.

I'm not sure how many rules are being imposed on the reviewers and how much this effects what they're actually allowed to talk about in these reviews, but I can confidently say I have never felt less informed by the reviews of a mainstream videogame ever.

I love Giant Bomb but I definitely would not say they know how to play games that well or how games work. They have trouble following intro tutorials all the drat time...

Nah, the executable in the GOG preload is definitely .net - I dropped it into dotpeek but couldn’t see anything but boilerplate code so I think it just displays that picture and nothing else. But I’m no .net wizard soo

yeah. the reviews in general even the super positive ones and the negative ones are pretty vague about various stuff. obviously they keep light on spoilers and stuff but idk.
