Don't tell the forums that, they're convinced it's an unplayable woke government ops pathetic remake zoophilia kissing simulator insult to d&d. It's got so many bugs you can't play it on anything short of a super computer, and is targeting children with it's addicting gameplay and low system requirements.

Every day there's a new 3 page screed expanding each of the above adjectives into paragraphs of garbage. Yet somehow most of the authors don't own the game, and it's has a overwhelmingly positive rating...

It did have a "literally unplayable" save deletion bug on Xbox until recently. I just waited for them to fix it before spending my money.

I played 100+ hours on Xbox before that was patched and never had a problem so "literally unplayable" is really a bit much.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

A bunch of less lucky people did exactly that and then lost 100+ hours of progress.

It's an essential feature of the game. Literally. Unplayable.

I lost 20 hours on Witcher 3 after a save corruption. Can I say Witcher 3 is literally unplayable?

I haven't researched that game so I don't know its frequency or severity.

Well bg3 allows and encourages several saves, so if you have put 100 hours into it and then lose your only save slot - which doesn’t make sense to me because it also auto saves independent of your manual saves - then ultimately, I blame user error. Especially since the bug was so limited.

That doesn't make sense to me either, how so many people were heartbroken when all they had to do was simply load an auto save. I can't confirm because I just didn't give them money until it worked properly.

Omg I've been destroyed

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I'm just saying I LITERALLY PLAYED it during that whole time so it LITERALLY wasn't UNPLAYABLE.
