I'm one of the idiots who pre-ordered ... I have identified your actual problem. See bolded. You aren't an idiot - you yourself can see it. You need to act on it. You'll be less disappointed when you stop setting yourself up for disappointment. If you continue following the same course of action...

Its weird at best and I think demonstrates how badly programmed the game is. Early February a friend of mine really wanted to get me back into Cyberpunk and we used his Steam version to try and get it up and running on my PC since his computer is pretty close in spec to mine. In the span of around two hours I had the game crash 10 times. I did lose count of "I tried that" when trying to troubleshoot it. Afterwards it was a "I don't get it" from him. Oh I know; I wasn't trying to defend it. Merely trying to point out that one can't just throw around a blanket statement and has it apply to everyone is all. The game was (and still is) a buggy mess; but saying only "This console got the worst of it" and "this one didn't" doesn't apply to all situations. That's all I was trying to point out.
EDIT: And I know you weren't either, Sanunes; but some on here like to, so I just wanted to make sure people were aware that every platform is different and not all situations apply equally.

Even If I didn't pre-order those games I would have still been disappointed when I did decide to buy them. Those games are just bad period, not pre-ordering won't change that. I'm not disappointed about the money I spent. I'm disappointed that the games were bad. Edit: Though after Cyberpunk 2077 I have not bought any AAA games since. I actually bought a PC and mostly play indie games now.

If it ends up being good after patching, you will never experience the disappointment, only the good game. This is a win. You save money, you save your feels from unnecessary rollercoaasters, and you send the industry a message. The only power we have, as consumers, is withholding our money until we have a product worth buying. Sometimes this necessitates a price drop. Company eventually gets their money, but not the money they wanted or that their board needed to make projections. I support your interest in indie. Emulation on PC is also pretty great. My PS2 is unreliable now, but my games play great on PCSX2. Don't want to play downstairs in the basement on the old PS3? Play the games on RPCS3 in my office on the main rig. I emulate my Nintendo systems on my Shield, but if I want to play Mario in my office, that too. Helps with patience, having old favorites to play.

If EA doesn't see people attacking lootboxes from other game studios they have no reason to abandon them because they are getting bad press, but if you look at NFTs and the universal dislike for them you can see all the companies aside from Ubisoft and some indies backing away.

I haven't ignored the issues of CP2077.
I was banned for 3 months on their forums, for my "overly harsh criticism" and being "not constructive". Lmao.
Then after 1.5, I played the game, and the annoyances that made me stop/lose interest were gone. It can still (and should be still) a better game. However, I enjoyed my experience very much and will play again at least once.
Stop preordering games. That is effective.

I remember a reviewer mentioning that she had a seizure due to the lights of Cyberpunk. She was ruthlessly mocked for it until CDPR admitted that they needed to tone down the lights for people with seizures.

Fans actually sent flashing tweets, and pictures to cause her another seizure and the fact CDPR treated that like a joke in their, I mean Ubisoft is a shit company but they at least put a fucking warning people who are photosensitive at the starts of UNO, Assassin's Creed: Origins, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla before their own logo mostly because they don't want to get sued and it's good PR they don't bury it the agreement as a joke. That is why I will never buy a CDPR game they treat people like me who is photosensitive (I got a headache from the trailer to Cyberpunk 2077) as a sick joke here is my reply to them FUCK CDPR!

The Eastern European culture is certainly different compared to companies in the US. Just look at how the Tarkov developers treat anyone who comments anything even slightly negative.

They pre-order Call of Duty in the millions of copies and only now have sales slowed down a little. True I don't personally think preordering is necessaril ya bad thing but you always must remember you are taking a risk and be happy with taking that risk when and if you do it. I do preorder games but because I don't buy many these days and I know the kinds of games I like I'm happ yenough to take that risk as usually when I do preorder a game I've alread yseen enouigh of a game t oknow if I'm going to like it. Plus if you do preorder you do sometimes get some nice bonuses for example there's some extra bonuses I like the look of for Forspoken as you ge tan extra cloak/cape and a se tof magic nails and necklace whic basically boostyour magical powers to help along your journey. When I look at a game before deciding to buy it I look at gameplay and story first as I know they won't change if they draw me in I'm sold as I always expect bugs to start of with anyway and know tha tgiven enough time the developers will release patches to fix the worst offending ones at the very least. It's the main reason why I've chosen to take that risk with Forspoken as I'm liking what I've been seeing of that game so far.

It's risk and always has been and always will be. It's doesn't matter if you buy a game on day 1 or on day 730. If you get the complete everything included final limited ultimate special collector's edition or a standard edition. Disk or digital. Console or PC.
There is always a risk that game won't work and/or simply you won't like the game for any reason. And it's the same with all other media as well.

Cyber, Is the photosensitivity game dependent, or does it apply to all video games? Not trolling, just interested, as I don't know a thing about it. Cheers.

This is so out there and unspecific, that I am tempted to say it is outright false. There are outlier cases that can make your general claim true, but it is a baby with the bathwater saying that it is possible the fully patched GOTY edition of a game simply might not work... It will work. Will you like it? That is absolutely a legitimate question. However, if you have been looking at the game since release, you have probably watched some gameplay videos to see if that will appeal to you. You have probably interacted with some nerd forum of your choice, to discuss said game and get opinions from people you consider like-minded. You are buying it a year late, so it's on sale... If, after all that careful consideration, you end up not liking the game, then yeah. It happens. But not too often after the research, and it was on sale so it doesn't hurt as bad. Advocating for not patience is saying, "Stop hurting me. Now stab me again?" The risk is always there, point given. The risk can be massively minimized. Point taken.

Advocating for not patience is saying, "Stop hurting me. Now stab me again?" The risk is always there, point given. The risk can be massively minimized. Point taken. I believe they were referring to the risks of Pre-Ordering... I could be wrong though. In that note: Pre-Ordering a game is a risk that I happen to agree with being a bad idea. You may get stuck with a game you like or don't OR actually suffer game breaking bugs. Especially if you have a highly modified computer system making it worse to get it to run. Pre-Orders are basically people who have been turned into Beta testers for a game. Pre-Orders are often after that more of a hesitant endeavor -if ventured toward at all. Also the overall statement that games will work no matter what is no more than supposition. It depends more on the system setup of the gamer than on the game itself. If the requirements of the game barely meet the system specs it may or may not run. You can get the same results from a poorly optimized game or one that is released too early and is full of bugs. You can also end up with the opposite and have a game run on hardware it wasn't designed for. For instance the game of Injustice 2 will run smoothly on an AMD Athlon II 270 Regor -hardware not designed for. Which proves just how well Injustice 2 has been optimized. In other cases people can get the full version of games and they will still not work. Usually due to lack of Direct X, poor system specs or having the correct Visual C++ runtimes. In those rare occasions where the games' installation doesn't install these items -most people forget to install after. In my opinion 30% of games not working is people not installing the DirectX or VC++ Runtimes - ALL of them. Yes! That means installing the packages for 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 & 2022. You can stab as many times as you wish and I probably still would have a hard time feeling it.

I was referring to the risks of pre-ordering, that are mostly alleviated by simply not pre-ordering.
As for hardware issues and games not working - that is an end-user problem, and is almost always explained by minimal hardware for the game they're trying to run. The complaint isn't entirely invalid, but as I said earlier these cases are really outliers. A game of recent vintage that has been fully patched and has a "GOTY" or "Collector's Edition" or somesuch version released, will work on nearly every piece of hardware capable of running it. Some settings may need tweaking, but the rare cases where these games do not work rests in poor hardware or PEBKAC.
I appreciate your devil's advocacy. I think you're stretching. My statement is this - don't pre-order, and you will feel less disappointment overall in your gaming purchases. In this light, your stabbing comment seems to me like you have missed my point entirely.

I believe they were referring to the risks of Pre-Ordering... I could be wrong though. In that note: Pre-Ordering a game is a risk that I happen to agree with being a bad idea. You may get stuck with a game you like or don't OR actually suffer game breaking bugs. Especially if you have a highly modified computer system making it worse to get it to run. Pre-Orders are basically people who have been turned into Beta testers for a game. Pre-Orders are often after that more of a hesitant endeavor -if ventured toward at all. Also the overall statement that games will work no matter what is no more than supposition. It depends more on the system setup of the gamer than on the game itself. If the requirements of the game barely meet the system specs it may or may not run. You can get the same results from a poorly optimized game or one that is released too early and is full of bugs. You can also end up with the opposite and have a game run on hardware it wasn't designed for. For instance the game of Injustice 2 will run smoothly on an AMD Athlon II 270 Regor -hardware not designed for. Which proves just how well Injustice 2 has been optimized. In other cases people can get the full version of games and they will still not work. Usually due to lack of Direct X, poor system specs or having the correct Visual C++ runtimes. In those rare occasions where the games' installation doesn't install these items -most people forget to install after. In my opinion 30% of games not working is people not installing the DirectX or VC++ Runtimes - ALL of them. Yes! That means installing the packages for 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 & 2022. You can stab as many times as you wish and I probably still would have a hard time feeling it. I was referring to the risks of pre-ordering, that are mostly alleviated by simply not pre-ordering. As for hardware issues and games not working - that is an end-user problem, and is almost always explained by minimal hardware for the game they're trying to run. The complaint isn't entirely invalid, but as I said earlier these cases are really outliers. A game of recent vintage that has been fully patched and has a "GOTY" or "Collector's Edition" or somesuch version released, will work on nearly every piece of hardware capable of running it.

My statement is this - don't pre-order, and you will feel less disappointment overall in your gaming purchases. In this light, your stabbing comment seems to me like you have missed my point entirely.
Maybe I missed your point though... I literally meant if I was stabbed as you describe I doubt I would feel it as much as you or many others. I don't feel disappointment in anything -maybe I get annoyed but that is about it. I am like Trian: That said... I agree Pre-Order is something that I said I don't condone but it sometimes can help in the debugging. Especially if that game has got bugs up the wahzoo... it gives you time and a heads up in trying to figure out the issues. Case in point is my plight getting ME:A to run years ago... its well documented... somewhere here on BSN. I won't bore you with all details of what was required to fix it but here is the jist: ME:A would give an endless install loop -once ready you would click play and back to installing -it was never ending. Spent the whole pre-order time and way beyond it just getting ME:A to launch -took over a month and half I believe. This issue wasn't do to system incompatibility -my system can run ME:A just fine. It was due to hardware and software configuration: 1. I downloaded and was trying to install and launch it through Origin -never again. 2. Origin WAS installed on D: and the game on E: and Steam & Epic are installed on G drive. 3. My system runs a modified OS that has the OS on C partition while boot partition is on F drive.
Yes that is Five hard drives. Origin didn't at that time -2017 seem to like multiple hard drive configurations. Nor liking Origin or the game to be on a drive other than C. But that is not the games fault. Its the Launcher -every single one is almost more trouble than they are worth. Yes each has problems and yes steam is the best among them -then again its been around the longest.
Tell me have you ever had these issues with the Launcher services: UPLAY/Ubisoft Connect: Have to reinstall EVERY time I launch it. Origin: Install ONE game at a time -if you install another it breaks the first one then have to reinstall it? Epic: This one is on me but it locks the system up -still unsure as to why. Steam: It has problems -but updates on every launch do get annoying but not as annoying as having to repair each game each time of launch.

If I could feel no disappointment, I would be a much happier person.
I feel a lot of disappointment. I admit to envy.

If I could feel no disappointment, I would be a much happier person. I feel a lot of disappointment. I admit to envy. I just look at things in a logical way: Something happens. Does thinking on it change what has happened? No. Can you change it? Well unless a Timelord with a Tardis you can't -so no. Though you can take what happened and apply it with intuition to the present and future. Apply that with skepticism and its hard to be disappointed in anything. You may actually find it more pleasing a result if something turns out good. So its not without its benefits'.

Unless, (which is unlikely)there's a possibility that they're working on remaking Andromeda.

Unless, (which is unlikely)there's a possibility that they're working on remaking Andromeda. Why would they? If they had been interested they would have followed up with dlc. Instead, they abandoned it completely. I think they'll somehow get a mention in MENext but what that means is unknown. Possibly yet another AI ship leaves following the Reaper War and gives them information which they somehow apply.
