Regardless of the questionable validity of these drop tests, I’m not worried at all.

Out of curiosity, can you link me to these findings? OP is just citing anecdotal evidence and I’m not sure where people are seeing this outside of a few YouTubers. Not trying to be an asshole or anything, just curious

I tossed my 11 around all the time without issues. If this phone (15PM) is at least tougher than that I’m fine

Going by the journalistic coverage of the game, yes. If you played on an XB1 or PS4, yes. I’m fortunate to have played it on a competent (not insane) PC and had little to no issues. It wasn’t bug-free, but the issues I encountered were minor and didn’t really bog down the experience tbh

If I’m excited for a game, I try to make a point of not looking at the hype. Seems like the mainstream coverage has three phases:

1. Hype
2. Bad game circlejerk
3. Retrospective (it was actually good)

Nice to know that other people have had similar experiences!

Couldn’t agree more!

With realistic expectations, the game has always been a good experience, imo of course. I did not follow any coverage of the game until after release, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect. I’m not excusing their shortcomings, but I feel like the community leaned hard into the “bad game circlejerk” as soon as it came out. I played once at release and got the worst ending. After edgerunners, I played it through three times, the last of which on very hard and with all the endings earned.

I enjoyed it! The 2.0 update is an interesting shakeup. I’m playing through a 4th time and having a good time
