Sorry, but I don't believe it. Either you're astronomically lucky or you just don't pay attention to the detail of whats going on in the game around you. And that's fine, but it doesn't mean the bugs aren't there - it just means you didn't notice them. And hell, maybe that's to your benefit - I wish I could just not notice the bugs, it sure would make the game a lot funner.

>That's in 80h so far in the game.

FYI it was just discovered that if you play the game for too long, your save file becomes too big and will be corrupted. A moderator on the CDPR forums just said that "the game is intended to be finished within 30-50 hours" and playing longer than that is liable to break your game, and specifically you should avoid using the "Crafting" function at all because it will corrupt your save even faster.

Obviously this bug really sucks and deserves remedying, but it also seems like aberrant behaviour. I'm also chiming in from the 50+ hours crowd and the only bugs I've experienced have been a bit silly, but nothing game-breaking yet. Clearly this thing needed more time in QA based on other people's experiences, but plenty of us are playing and loving the game all the way through.

From what I understand the majority of players that have run into the save file size issue have been abusing (not saying it is wrong to do just probably unintended) crafting for a profit. That is not to say everyone won’t eventually run into the issue with time but I think it is a little overblown in the moment with all the bandwagon hating.

I have run into very few bugs over my 45 hours and when I have, I think it’s been in places where something was meant time to clean up. Such as going back to a npc after a long interaction that lead me away. So maybe bug frequency has a little to do with play style which I bet can vary person to person and is not compared in-depth via quick internet comments.

I played about the same amount. I had only one major bug where my character blacked out/was teleported.

I do notice that cars show up behind my back and sometimes disappear but never was I launched into the air or able to drive through other cars.

29 hours in and also none of the bugs you mentioned. I'm sorry you're having a bad time, but there are legitimately a lot of people having minimal issues. Worst bug I had was a corpse clipped into a wall and I couldn't get the loot.

Only bug I saw in this game - my V is staying while riding the car. That's all. 28 hours in game. I extensively use Crafting.

I've played on OG PS4 for 8 hours and no significant problems. I heard that OG PS4 actually has significantly less problems than PS4 Pro, due to how the game tuning per-machine was done.

I've got about 65 hours in. I've had one crash. One side quest is bugged and I can't finish it, which does suck, but it isn't a critical quest at least. I've had similar issues with quests being bugged in basically every other open world game I've ever played.

Had a similar save file being too large issue with Skyrim that was fixed months after release.

Are bugs you don’t notice bugs at all?

You seem willing to discount the most important fact; people are still having fun. Why do you think it’s so important to you that this game be bad for everyone?

I specifically said that even I am having fun, despite the bugs. But again, that doesn't mean the bugs don't exist, and it doesn't mean the game wouldn't be better without the bugs. Where are you getting this "the game should be bad for everyone"?

If people enjoy this game, then that's wonderful. Far be it from me to interfere with someone's enjoyment of something. The problem is when people insist "well I haven't seen any bugs so the game is perfect and anyone saying otherwise should be ignored!" when that is clearly not the case.

That’s not what people here are generally saying, and it’s weird that is what you’re interpreting their comments as saying.

It just sounds like you want to argue/be upset.

I'm the only one you replied to out of half a dozen replies, and my comment was admittedly the least kind and most confrontational, for example.

>That’s not what people here are generally saying,

You must be completely ignoring the multiple comments here, not to mention the comments in every preceding thread on HN, not to mention the comments on reddit about this game. Because that is what many are saying.

Ironically, this is the same situation as the bugs in the game: just because you're oblivious to the numerous people saying the game isn't buggy doesn't mean there aren't people saying the game isn't buggy.

>It just sounds like you want to argue/be upset.

Who's upset? I've said multiple times that I'm enjoying the game. It seems like you're the one trying to pick a fight for some reason.

How this comment thread hasn't been detached is honestly surprising. This is far from productive.

Agreed. You seem to be less interested in discussing the game and more interested in gatekeeping who is allowed to discuss the game and how. If you'd like to discuss the game, I'm all for it. But if you're just here to gatekeep, I've no interest in continuing.

You're the unproductive element here...
