Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Tyranicon]

If I was corporate I'd honestly bite the bullet and just release on schedule. At this point in the development cycle, with all the money they already blew marketing November as the launch, what the hell are they going to do in an extra few weeks that can fix the game?

I smell something afoot.

I suspect they were simply inexperienced with simultaneous release for 7+ consoles. There is reason why other companies are releasing for latest consoles first, and for PC bit later.

 

[Takamori]

Console faggotry is all to if what they said about going gold being true. Either release PC right away and let the peasants wait, its not like the 5 early adopters of PS5 and XBOX will be mad by their retarded decision of buying it.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Prime Junta's self-ejection did not account for this slight hiccup.

 

[Alienman]

I assume the black fella read the delay news on his phone.

Sure, but what does that actually mean in details though? I assume (perhaps not wisely) that they already have playable builds for all the platforms they are targeting. This kind of extension does not seem like a last minute thing to me. Are some builds completely broken a la the hilarious xbox 360 version of Shadow of Mordor? Why not release for platforms where they have stable builds first?

Questions. So many questions.

There are contractual obligations involved in things like this. You release on one platform before the others, you're screwing those other platform holders over. And the retailers who sell games for those platforms, etc etc.

What is likely happening:
-they are going through the game and removing particles/lights/other things on the weaker consoles that cause them to stutter or crash
-can't release PC on time due to contractual obligations

CD Project remains satisfied with the pre-sale level of "Cyberpunk 2077". - The representatives of the Management Board were informed. The Company expects that as a result of the postponement of the game premiere, the marketing expenses will be slightly higher than previously assumed,

Hey, haven't heard of that guy in a while...

Hmm, makes sense as far as guesses go. I suppose we'll see when/if the game comes out.

Pre-ordering games is even more cancerous than previously thought to be, amazing. Those who preordered it with money are deserving the rope en masse for giving CDPR enough money to fuck around in the vegan kitchen.

Says it's a parody account sadly.

 

[Gargaune]

Should've put those ads on the London trains instead - every time it gets within two minutes of arrival, bam!, they add another ten to the clock. Oh, and after three or four delays, they turn an eight-car train into a four-car, stick that up your metaphor.

but quality is what matters. There's trend games are released in early access state while not having EA tag. I'm welcoming this decision. More polish (no pun intended) is always better.

 

[Tehdagah]

The console versions will be poorly optimized, won't they

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

I really want to see the expression of horror on the marketing's people faces when the delay was first proposed.

Well - I absolutely agree. People offended by this delay should cancel their preorders and buy the game the way a sane people does - AFTER the release and IF they like it.

Ain't it two delays late tho? Those neckbeards look as silly as other neckbeards smashing their Nintendo Switches or controllers in rage for not getting what they want. Yeah, that'll show 'em, alright. When it happened already.

"Is it April 1st? lol"
"That's the date we're announcing on December 10th"

I never pre ordered shit so I wouldnt know but doesent it work like this: you pre order stuff but you can still cancel and get your money back before the release?

 

[Trans-Financial-Man]

Apparently the friend I was talking to before has more info. Stay tuned. Sounds like a suicide may be involved.

I don't know about this boss, last time CDPR delayed Witcher 3, it came out unfinished (with some superficial side-content added back with patches and freebies) and had a rushed act 3 that was and still to this day is both looks rough and unfinished and a waste of time. Even more exaggerated case will be mentioned before STALKER series when the main game was anything but finished, non-EA or polished. And so much cut content it spawned two more add-ons and a fan-made whole another STALKER game.

It is true for Steam and GoG but it is still a shame when preorder contributes to delays like this in a first place.
