It's why I'll never get it unless obtained for the good ol' price of free. I'm glad people are enjoying it and it's much improved over the trash pile they delivered! But it's still a very different game than advertised.

Frankly, it's concerning how quickly the narrative shifted on this. You'd think with the internet recording the whole fiasco, there wouldn't be a quick narrative shift and misinformation on the subject, but people have convinced themselves the launch wasn't that bad, Sony somehow screwed them and this is what they said the game would be!

One's mileage could vary wildly at launch with that game. It did work just fine for me, with some minimal jank, but I could clearly see the video evidence others had of their bad time.

Oh absolutely. I know it wasn't super janky for everyone - but the fact is that it was so broken on launch for not just PC, but PS as well. The mass refunds, which Sony has never done, etc. Denying that this was a thing is what the narrative seems to be for many.

I'm glad it worked for you on launch, and hope you had a great time playing it!
