I’m just sitting here thinking about all the hoopla around palworld right now and I was wondering what other titles out there have been in the controversy filled category in the past few years/decade? I can think of a few, but my game interests are kinda narrow.
Did they actually fix the performance of AK or did we just get better hardware to run the game better? And I’m also recalling some gameplay trailer which was sped up to seem like the game was running at 60 fps. But, yea, horrid performance is mostly genuine critique.
With Fallout 4, I think the biggest issue with roleplay was the dialogue options, not the voice acting per se. Basically each dialogue selection was 4 options: “Yes”, “Yes (but snarky)”, “No”, and some non sequitur… give or take, it’s been a hot minute since I last played it.

They actually pulled it from Steam for a while, and re-released it properly a few weeks later. But yes, they ended up fixing it properly, and it’s probably one of the best-looking games of its generation on PC. The photo mode, in particular, is stellar.

Ooh, right. Completely forgot about that. And, yea the game is definitely a looker.
Back when the game was fairly new I did get it as a bundled game with my 2nd gpu. My SLI setup was quite the stutterfest with it, and I don’t think it even supported SLI well, or at all. So I shelved it until several years later, and played it through with a lot beefier pc.
Same: I got both Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 with my 980! That’s actually one of the reasons I bought one: I had planned to buy both games anyway, it made me “save” (as in, not spend) that much money. And given that it was NVIDIA’s flagship at the time, it worked quite well with that GPU and I wouldn’t have noticed the performance issues if I had not read so much backlash about them.
