True and to be fair, they are doing updates to fix some of the jank. Also to be fair, the jank should have been fixed before release but .....

I dunno if anyone else has mentioned it but the control are kind of jank.
Feels like 3 or 4 games smashed together. Story so far is a fucking mess, I was pretty sure I died at the beginning of the game so all of this is just Valhalla? I'm fine with that.
Did you know, while flying, if you run out of stamina that you fall to your fucking death? Or at least I assume this is the case, I haven't tested it. I always hit the jump button again before hitting the ground so that I fly for a second and then land. Demon Hunter conditioning.
I don't think the main character blinks.
I am not looking forward to managing multiple characters.
The upgrade system makes no sense to me, at all, on any level. I am only on chapter 2 though.
Game is too bright and too dark at the same time, it's fucking weird.
You can pick up every bug, flower, and every other thing by just holding the collect button down (square on ps) which filled my inventory quickly. Can do this while walking.
Went a wandering to do a bounty and got killed in three hits by some dude with drills on his hands, that was fun.
I don't dislike this game but I am struggling to get into it, it's all so disjointed and unfocused. The menu controls annoy the shit out of me, I keep trying to attack things with square and triangle because I am fucking retarded and have auto programmed my brain to play hack and slash games differently than others so that's a me issue. I like tackling people and carrying them to jail.
Gonna focus on Story quests until something happens where I can say, "Now feels like a good time to fuck around.".

Yeah, I haven't bothered picking this up. Seems to me if you're not the type of player to enjoy "running around and finding shit" then you're not going to get into this game. Probably the same reason why BotW, Skyrim, etc. never clicked with me. Feels pointless.

Yeah if you are looking for a linear story driven experience, this isn’t it. Everyone I know that loves it, primarily play it as a sandbox game. I do recommend getting through the story a bit before you just go wondering, to unlock some of the abilities etc. Then there’s always that one friend that thinks if it’s not a God of War Ragnarok clone, the game is ass.

I excitedly followed this game super closely throughout its entire development, but since its release I have had absolutely zero desire to play it. Even if I were able to get it for free.
I can't pin down why my excitement absolutely cratered, but I think its that the game strikes me as souless.

Never understood the term "soulless" in regards to a game. In every instance I've seen it applied to this game, it has come down to the person using it wanting a more guided experience through the game vs. being rather open "do as you like" type experience.

At first yes, but now, there is no specific relationship other than then CD having some NPC's from BDO that have the same name / personality / use, like Shakatu, Patrigio, Hexe Marie, Kutum, etc.

I hadn't had any complaints about the game so far, but I was in Scholastone and doing the main quest where you "use axiom force to remove the unstable core" and holy shit, what the fuck? Who came up with this? Even looking it up, it still took me a while to figure out. In fact, I think it was just luck.
And then followed up by an absolutely ridiculous minigame type boss fight, where nothing is clear on what you're supposed to be doing.
I've been enjoying the game, but this was absolutely atrocious.

Yeah wait until you have to do moves like that 20 hours later after not using them once since then and can’t even remember how to fucking do it. Happens a lot.

Obviously, I haven't played CD, but from the outside the gameplay looks like it shares a lot of similarities with games like Witcher 3 and maybe even GTA V, but neither of those games are what I would call souless.
CD looks like a game where they tried to cram in as many 'fun' and/or interesting systems as they could to give players plenty to do in their open world but, to me, much of it doesn't belong and seems like an amusement park rather than a world to explore and get immersed in.
