20+ year professional game dev here. This commercial conflates a mix of common game client bugs (eg: texture streaming errors, physics glitches, and animation attachment offsets) with straight up nonsense (upper half of coffee mug popping in with a phone over and over is caused by a slow network connection?). They never show any actual network performance problems that they, as a company, have been responsible for causing in real life.

It's as if a city council came out with electrified upgrades to their formerly-diesel city buses and to promote this fact, they cut an ad showing:

- monkeys driving the bus
- constant gunfights between the elderly
- piles of feces on the floor
- bus stops existing in a quantum superposition of clearly identified and invisible
- tribal warriors on the roof spitting blowdarts at passersby
- every seat is actually a block of super-chilled ice

Never once would they point out reduction in chronic asthma to the local schoolkids or lung cancer in their bus drivers. But hey, so long as the company looks good, who cares about accuracy in ads?

*quality analysis and showcase. Everyone's focusing on random scripting and glitches but it's hard to get across just how visually immersive and engaging this game is.

I'm sure that there are factors like foreshortening and perspective coming into play here, but it sure looks like one little glitch in the flow and it could be on top of them.

Meant to vote down and things glitched.

Seems like there is a glitch with the eyes sometimes.

Due to software glitches? Are you sure it's not mechanical issues due to the fact that batteries in general still fking SUUUUCK after centuries of remaining fundamentally unchanged?

Until we can come up with a method of storing energy in a safer and more ecologically responsible manner than batteries in their current form, making everything electric can never fully take off.

But I digress.

Nicola would be named for a person, Tesla is a family name, a company, and a car that spontaneously combusts due to software glitches.

Editing glitch. It's just that shot of the ship from earlier.

I played it at release, didn't notice any major issues. Never been stuck in a rock and I don't remember a single freeze or CTD like those mentioned in that article. Unlike Witcher 3 which was praised at release but was full of progression stopping bugs.

People also said KCD was riddled with bugs, I have over 500hrs in it since launch and haven't seen anything beyond minor glitches.

New Vegas was riddled with bugs on release, what are you talking about?

Just Google "New Vegas Bugs" and you'll find gems like this...

This is about the newbs and the pros. Basically, the ones who have enough leisure time and lack of responsibility to sit around and bitch about the game.

The Gen Xers are just gamers. We know that arguing over the game mechanics isn't going to sway the devs.

Play the game, collect your phat loots, don't rush to the level cap, and take some time once in a while to appreciate the open world game design.

Of course the game is unbalanced. But nevermind the campers, griefers and OP players who exploited the glitches, find the side missions you enjoy and equip a sunscreen potion...you'll be glad later that you did.

It's probably commercial turf not grown from scratch. To enable commercial turf to survive harvesting , transporation and installation, immediately after seeding a field they roll out a 20' wide biodegradeable plastic mesh which becomes incorporated into the sod as the grass grows. I've actually had a bubble like this beside my house, but much bigger, caused by a glitch in the irrigation system.
