I have been watching some people stream it and have not seen any signs of performance issues nor complaints about content.

Except some vocal frustrations from chatters that the game does not have romance and/or boykissing.

So...

On one hand, I get it. People can be unnecessarily toxic, but completely ignoring feedback just doesn't seem right either.

You can get feedback from people you know, who's opinions you actually trust. Why anyone ever thought taking advice from anonymous random strangers online was a good idea is beyond me.

I get that, but you do need diverse opinions. Only listening to those around you is how you miss major issues. Concord could have used some outside feedback before it's release, for example.

I didn't even know that game existed until I saw headlines saying it failed. It wasn't marketed well and I would bet that was on purpose. I think they knew it was terrible, why else wouldn't they try to sell it?

I'm astonished it took this long for people to start realizing that injecting social media into every facet of their lives isn't a great idea. Why people wanted anonymous comments on their art, which could be from psychopathic junkies for all anyone knows, is beyond me.

Why wouldn't they want to enrich their lives with my high IQ takes arriving directly into their hands with a notification sound??

I’m afraid they might never hear that releasing games in such a dire technical state is not something that they should be doing.

People are having performance woes? I got like 40 hours in it without so much as a hiccup. I have it on PC.

Edit: oh you were talking about Silent Hill not Metaphor: ReFantazio.

It looks like PS3/PS4 cross-gen title (no ambient occlusion, basic geometry) while not even hitting stable 60FPS on PS5/XSX.

I'm playing on Series S and it gets really rough in the later levels like the snowy mountain city

It's a typical Japanese developer mentality of "if it ain't broke" (even if it is broke). You see the same thing from other high profile devs like From Soft. I think the country also still relies heavily on fax machines.

Personally I've been enjoying the game despite the performance woes but I can see how it would ruin someone else's fun. You have to wonder about why it is so hard to implement anti-aliasing in their engine...
