The lies your company has told so far, for example that you optimized the graphics, when you clearly didn't make your apology pretty weak... This was billed as complete and ready yet it's clear it's barely Beta let alone GA... You all should be ashamed of your performance and whomever caused this fiasco should lose their jobs.
Odyssey Progress
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
The cost/hour of entertainment for past game use is completely and utterly irrelevant.
What is relevant is that the new product purchased (Odyssey) doesn't work. And if one is to believe the 100's, maybe even 1000's of posts proclaiming that with detailed examples then it should be clear even to a blind person that Odyssey doesn't work. As it stands now the calculation should be cost/hour playable time. And in most cases it appears that playable time is ZERO! Even one with a rudimentary understanding of mathematics can grasp what that means.
So - stop using past time played to justify apologizing for what is a very clear and present FAILURE.
sorry man but with that you will still only get around 50FPS outside of fights.....
How cant you use it is the launcher bugged for you or is your system simply below minimum?
oh its playable its just unoptimized.
I mean for example 30FPS is playable just not reach appealing to the eyes.
The connection issues tho thats a different story they make it at least in parts hardly playable
Haven't you ever watched a movie, played a game, been in a conversation, listened to a song that was so bad or so annoying that you just plain had to stop. Happens to me all the time. Maybe that's what Odyssey is to Gene.
And don't even try to say none of that has never happened to you. If you do then you're not your every day type person but an Angel. Congrats if you are. Otherwise...
FWIW - Frontier is a LTD company, publicly trading, and as such has to file paperwork with Companies House (UK). Their latest treasure trove of information was 9th September 2020, during the pandemic. If I am reading it correctly, in May 2020 they had a NET profit of 15 million pounds. (Page 58 - here).
I don't believe that Covid affected them in the way in which you think.
The simple answer to your statement is that they should have delayed release until it was ready it's as simple as that. As it is they have done more damage to their reputation than a 1 year delay would have done, at least they had a good reason but as usual pressure to release and earn money matters much more than customer satisfaction.Still don't understand why people don't realise the human cost of the last 15 months. How do we know that staff, and how many staff have had covid, deaths from covid or family members have had covid or died, how many they staff have been off sick, how many staff now have mental health problems as a result of being locked in their home for over a year, that's just the HR side of it never mind suddenly everyone working from home and the technical, communications challenges that brings in itself, I can go on and on but yeah these issues with odyssey are way more important than that?People need to get a grip and remember that some people working there might have had the worst year of their life and yet here you are laying into them in a forum. Agreed its not great nor acceptable but surely we have to accept there is so many variables that have led to this that have been outwith there control.
That might be, but he said he cant use it. Made it sound like its not available for Gene.
Also dont get me wrong here but EDO isnt really bad. It is partially buggy, althought WAY better than Alpha (at least for me), and unoptimized as hell combined with an utterly outdated API (SRSLY WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU USE DX11 FOR NEXT GEN RENDER AND NOT PORT TO VULKAN?!).
The gameplay is actually fun if you can get past the initial instability. Today for example not a single crash for me at least, it def is getting better. And to be honest most ppl I played with agreed on that, its just that the performance literally makes it WAY less enjoyable especially combat zones.
Sounds like this community needs to go the way of cyberpunk, and sue the pants off you. We're sick and tired of paying for games that are supposed to be a finished product to get trash, and this DLC is trash pure and simple. Once again you disappoint. If this isn't spot on before Odyssey releases on xbox everyone here should file suite against FDev. Y'all FDev'd it again.
As much as I like odyssey and think it's fun this might actually be the only way right here. Management has to learn or suffer.
I think your post is kind of hitting it on the head "it's good if you can get past X"
I think people are sick and tired of having to tunnel through frustration to get to the enjoyment part with this game. And it's not even in-game frustration like fighting off a tough NPC to win the mission kind of thing. It's the having to deal with the frustration of technical issues, design problems and unoptimization that sucks them out of the experience and becomes less playing the game and more wrestling with a piece of software. People wanted to pop the game in and just start having fun.
I get that there are launch bugs, and other issues that never really reveal themselves until it gets released to the wider world. But that's just it, the most egregious of issues here, were problems and issues that were known and SHOULD have been addressed before a release.
how about compensations?
If they pull the plug than you can and should get a refund but until then good luck on that
Please do not apologize! Your team is building the Universe for us to play in. It took GOD a full 7 days to create the Universe... and we are only in day 5 post release! Just sayin'.. can we all give the dev teams some time, please!! R E L A X everybody!
They have been 7 years ... your god* was a little faster
and did not create any universe* ....another employee?
Unlikely an employee if they really are all disgruntled as the complainers make out.They have been 7 years ... your god* was a little faster
another employee?
