Two days since release, and not a peep about the hobbled performance.

Is it possible the devs really believe 30ish fps and borderline screen tearing was a good enough ‘pass’ for the console plebs?

Has the game always run like this on Xbox, if anyone here plays it on one?

I don’t know, at this stage, I’m just starting to wonder whether to just delete the game. Some confirmation of whether this will be addressed or not at least, would be great to have.

Even if you are able to somehow decipher the almost deliberately obscure, certainly poorly worded, unclear skill descriptions, you can still never feel quite certain they do what they say they do. Then you look up a build or two, and realise nearly all of them are based on some sort of borderline-exploit; certainly not listed or not listed clearly enough interaction, and it just kills your desire entirely to invest time in planning your own builds.

No wonder every class basically has one or two builds everyone just keeps copying over and over.

And I get that you can still play and have fun without being ‘effective’, but we are not talking about subtle differences here, we are talking about night and day, and who really wants to struggle against bosses when you can simply respec and watch their health bars melt, in a game that’s often about killing the same boss dozens of times over?

I just picked this up for the PS5 on sale, and it seems polished, and charming, and something I’m highly likely to enjoy, and…I’m about to delete it after ten minutes and write my $18 off as a loss, and go rate it one star out of spite because that is literally all I can do since PS5 has no refunds?

Because there is no way in hell I am playing through it with ‘jump’ on ‘o’ instead of ‘x’.

How absolutely bizarre. Am I really not missing something? Surely I must be? Otherwise, how on earth is it that I have seen this game mentioned here, numerous times, with largely positive reviews and feedback, have seen it recommended often, and yet not once have seen anyone mention this utterly asinine, egregious flaw that renders the game basically unplayable for-no-fucking-reason?

As someone who felt ‘burnt’ by MIO, due to it starting out as a charming, atmospheric, whimsical game, only to turn into a hackneyed, rote test of reflexes in its closing third, should I take a chance on Constance because it appeals to me at face value, or just keep walking?

Cheers.
