As the Witcher series progressed, you could at least expect some level of quality despite the compounding casualization. They shouldn't have let this clusterfuck happen at this point, yet they did.

Even for RDR2 the words "vastly superior" is exaggeration - the ligthing system is better and more naturalistic sure, but overall it's not that mind boggling good compared to CP2077
played both rdr2 and cyberpunk on PC, RDR2 was easily the better looking game no contest.
Also runs better.

...also has far more environment/NPC interactions despite it not even being an RPG.

Lacrymas, you're a musicman, I need you to patch Never Fade Away pronto:




You can do anything
Just gotta pay the price
Yeah, almost anything
Just pay the trip-A price

I saw in you what games were missing
You lit a flame that engaged my hype
For the trees, the forest's missing
But I'd trade it all for an F rebind

Yeah
We can't do anything
'Bout the sliding stock price

There's a PR with two faces
With missing features and bullshots
In development for ages
And in the end it was all for naught

The disappointment - I know
Will never fade away
How you lied to me - I know
Said what you had to say
But the disappointment
Will never fade away
Will never fade away
Will never fade away

I see your tweets, I know you read this
But after months, DLC's nowhere
I'm just a fanboy disbelieving
Hoping you'll fix it without err

That one bug that changed it all
That one launch that caused the fall

The disappointment - I know
Will never fade away
How you lied to me - I know
Said what you had to say
But the disappointment - I know
Will never fade away
And I'll do my duty - I know
Keep posting "what a shame"
But the disappointment
That rep is here to stay
And I'll do my duty

Yeah
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away

Where are all those cdpr defenders that were bashing me when i told the game sucked even before the release? Who Is laughting now?
The same place where all the wrath of the cringefinder defenders have gone - slurping on that delicious foot in their mouths.

Protip: if most of the characters for an upcoming game look like dieversity clowns and/or literal demons, it's not going to be a good game for anyone with any vestiges of sanity and good taste remaining.

They should learn from their stepfather BioWare - release "Keanu Johnny Silverhand romance pack DLC" and all will be forgiven by the fans.

If you preorder collectors edition you get life size pink dildo statue of Keanu Johnny Silverhand penis.

I don't understand the militant hate for this game. The game is nowhere near as broken as you're making it out to be, I've beat it five times and the biggest bug I encountered was dialog audio not playing after around ten hours of play on the day 1 patch. Anecdotal meme videos on Youtube of people playing the game on potatoes aside. The game fills a void for open world cyberpunk games, the story is above average in quality compared to muh "Criminal on the run from the law diagnosed with toobercoolosis (sic) seeking revenge before I die!" meme or anything else released in the last 5 years. Why does everyone have rose colored glasses for RDR2 when comparing it to this game? There is so much woke garbage in RDR2, and for those of you with the memory of goldfish RDR2 was a dumpster fire of bugs on release too.

Well, for starters, the game was supposed to be an RPG, not another GTA or RDR. And the reasons for which it is objectively shit are quite more fundamental than it being woefully undertested, buggy and in overall abysmal technical state. Those reasons go back to the core design and, possibly more so, the contrast of this design to the game's fraudulent marketing.

People love a good roast. The game isn't terrible across the board, it has the odd moment, but it's eminently mediocre in aggregate and that's a massive disappointment relative to the opportunity it had and the expectations it set. It's CDPR's Invisible War.

RDR is shit, GTA is shit, and the most underwhelming parts of both TW3 and CBP is where CDPR drew from that shit. Not that it's a surprise, the studio heads outright said they regard Rockstar as their model of success. It's just that TW3 could leverage its much superior art direction and narrative agency to shine in spite of those mechanical shortcomings, whereas with CBP, multiple mistakes in core design actively work against the game's general flow and pacing and the devs didn't recognise where their TW3 formula wouldn't port well to the new concept.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.

Exactly. Problem is the overlap between the GTA and Witcher audiences is not huge. The Witcher audience is kindda nerdy, smart, demanding and appreciate a good story and writing. The GTA audience is by and large, well, retards.

CDPR saw the eye-popping profits GTA online makes and they wanted all that money too. Ignoring the fact they had build a very different fanbase over the previous years.

A big mistake, as Arnold would say.

I agree that compared with RDR 2, Cyberbug feels like a real game and not a horse simulator, however, extremely tired of multi million companies with marketing budgets bigger than the money invested in actual development releasing products in a shit state. If it is an indie game with ambitious goals but short budgets, I have patience with bugs and nonsense, but a big budget project with pasteurized AAA standard gameplay gets alot less patience from me.

Yep, most certainly. Part of the problem is that CDPR seemingly didn't fully grasp what made TW3 so successful, just like they didn't appreciate how throwing "FPS" and "dense urban setting" into that formula would change the demands on the design and their customer base's expectations of it. So instead of consolidating that hard-earned grip on the single-player AARPG market, they ended up damaging their own brand. Some of it can be blamed on the pressures of a publicly-traded company, okay, but it's also clear the studio has some serious lapses in its design department.

What worries me most about all this, though, is that the poor quality of the public discourse around Cyberpunk 2077 will only perpetuate the decline as CDPR will figure fewer bugs and more apartments and taxis will suffice next time around. It won't.

That immersive gameplay mod gets better and better





Maybe in a year I'd be able to replay the game and roleplay that missing time with Jackie via the custom missions

I preordered the game (I know but what else was I going to do with WoW gold) and decided to wait until it's fixed. I take it I'm never going to get to play it?

i would honestly just wait until both expansions are out and cdpr has released the last patch for the game. the game might crawl to an 8/10 finish line by then as opposed to the 6.5/10 it is now (7/10 if you're a graphics whore; 4/10 if you expect an rpg)

The game was playable from day 1,it just wasn't what anyone wanted or expected.
You're also most likely ever going to play it once.
