Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Despite only having a laptop 3070, and not a desktop 4090 that others are seeing slowdown on, I feel like the numbers Steam is feeding me for FPS is a lie because it says I'm getting 40-50fps but it feels smoother than that for some reason. I am seeing significant slowdown in the capital but other than that I'm not getting bad performance, or bugs, and the microtransactions are easy to ignore because everything is easily obtainable. I've been having a blast for the most part, and when they get out some patches maybe I won't even see slowdown in busy areas. Maybe.
The one thing that gets my goat is the one save system. For the benefit of anybody reading, there IS a way to delete your save on PC, disabling Steam Cloud sync, deleting the file, starting a new game, then turning sync back on and telling Steam to use your local files rather than your cloud files when it complains about a conflict. But the fact remains that this should be a feature within the game itself, not basically cheated in. I frequently restart games because I get distracted and go play something else, come back, can't remember the plot. This is a major roadblock for me, though of course not one I'm encountering just yet.
I've got a high opinion of the devs at Capcom, as they seem to be genuinely interested in making great games.I rarely have a bad time playing a Capcom game. It's just... The execs. And things like the microtransactions, Denuvo, and the one save system reek of stuff the execs tried to shoehorn in that the game didn't need to try and bleed the users dry. I'm just grateful that, for the time being, these changes don't affect me much, but you're right, it does make me feel a little guilty to have a good time while others can't even play it.
