This game is out in a couple of weeks and is in its last big publicity drive - it seems to be The Day Before meets GTA or some crap. There's been a few heavily scripted gameplay trailers which have looked generic as hell and according to testers, the game in its current state is monumentally bugged whereby cheats have to be enabled to bypass missions and bugged scenes. The game seems to be playing on the fact this is directed by washed ex Rockstar big shot Leslie Benzies but everything about it screams cheap asset flip. There's still hope that things could change but it's not looking very encouraging so far.

I hear from playtester feedback it's buggy, driving is sluggish and the whole thing needs a lot more work. Zero proper videos of gameplay. Happy to wait and see if otherwise but I agree, not encouraging 🙃

As expected, this game is shite. The fact that the publisher tried to convince everyone that the bad reception prior to launch was Rockstar bots causing disarray becomes even more hilarious. 40% positive on Steam, about 1200 reviews and no more than 3.5k players and falling massively. It's also emerged that this was once-part of a NFT platform which would explain a lot as the game does remember part-asset flip and part ulterior motive.

Yeah it looks so basic it comes across like a scam, deary me, and also you'd have had to be a bit of an idiot to buy it without checking reviews. Then again the GTA connection probably blinded some...

I ventured into the forum and saw a few suspects who pre-ordered The Day Before previous, who were literally bumming the game. Don't know why people have a fetish in buying into shit games and defending products they literally have no idea about.  Leslie Benzies is pretty washed in the industry now and was blinded by NFT's and Crypto so the GTA and Blockchain bollocks probably got a few deluded people on board but any proper gamer with a brain could see this was absolute slop nonsense with no substance.

Looks like Sony started issuing no questions asked refunds. Also Cohh's sponsored stream was cancelled at the last minute to avoid further humiliation for the publishers. 

System-wide refunds may be on the cards and this could be another write-off.

This is taking an absolute battering out there. Visually looks great but baron of anything interesting to do and some really strange stuff happening.

This was actually done out of bounds so not surprised it didn't work....however where there is water in game, its extremely shallow and it still looks so bad.

 

Its like they got 70% of the way, lost money, and then thought of the quickest way to make money with just a few immoral people left in the building. Shows how much you can't just make games overnight though. In this day and age, you'll get found out quickly and royally taken to the cleaners by the world wide social media. Big whoopsie.
