What about the 30 fps on Resolution mode?
Imagine releasing a patch that only broke the game even more than it already is
Nowadays the default rule is when a game comes out wait 6 months to a year until you buy because it will then finally be finished.
Exactly
And possibly also cheaper.
Though for "Live Service" games such as this exact game, you essentially never going to get a finished product.
Imagine buying something that'll stay unfinished. What a waste of money.
I'm on PC and I only paid $30 for it because I got it from a Key website.. I still feel robbed, even for $29.59 lol
