It doesn't. If you start on vanilla, can't load and play with update. Vanilla on ps4 looked better but played worse

So 35 GB + 17GB of patches...

Next gen is seriously going to have to give is much large HDs + make installing a bit quicker.

* At least they are updating and making the game better rather than ignoring it though.

Exactly why this should not have been game if the year

This is a great game and on top of it I got it digital for $25.the game is huge and has many things to do, and many things to skip till you level up lol... The only annoying thing I came across was one time by a beach he seemed to be kneeling down through a fight with quite a few regular ppl, I died then the game didn't load but it restarted in the same general area.... Other then that the game has been fine and, again, as huge as the game is it is less buggy than a fall out game.

The font size should be fixed I agree on that, I mean why do most of these games have tiny font sizes? However, what I would like to see patched is the voice acting when on a mission and they decide to talk.. For some reason you have to be in a perfect angle to hear what they have to say so if they are behind you forget about, then on top of the small font and scoungering around you're left wondering wtf was just said...

And is it too damn much for them to state exactly what they are patching?! A list of things that will be patched would be nice!

In regards to restarting in the same area... That will always happen when he gets killed by guards. They take your money too and then leave. It's a feature of the game. Also, CDPR do release what their patches do. If you go on the dash of the ps4 and highlight TW3 icon, click the options button. Then you can click "update history"

"the bugs it has which is expected in such a big game"

This excuse is so old and lame. I started Xenoblade Chronicles X barely a week ago, have 15 hours in, and guess what? No bugs nor glitches. On a game that is far bigger in scale than either TW3 or Fallout 4, and also has a perfectly working and free multiplayer component.

Where as with TW3, which I played through on patch 1.11 froze on me several times, suffered from painful, near slideshow framerates throughout Novigrad's main area, and had various bugs which prevented me from completing a lot of the side quests (PS4 version).

Seriously, supporting a developer is one thing, but excusing them for not taking the right time to release an actually finished product is another. TW3 is currently my GOTY 2015, but the fact that CDPR is still tweaking the game to make it perfectly playable does not speak well of them and should NOT be praised.

well I played Witcher 3 for 200 hours and had no bugs either... Some times they dont effect you as much as others. When a game is big its going to have issues. There is no game that launches without bugs. Its the game breaking ones that are the problem.

@Pygmelionhunter

To be fair there is alot more going on in TW3 compared to Xeno blade. You can walk right through cars in town in Xeno blade and it doesn't have real time shadows either.

I'm not saying it's worse just different is all.

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.
