"Spending a huge chunk of the budget on dishonest advertising and then releasing a significantly different, half-broken game is still cool though."

but its okay, cause 4 years later we'll release an expansion and what we are declaring the final patches to finally have the game in a state it should have been when it was fucking released.

Thanks for all the money, ~~suckers~~ customers!

The worst thing is that everyone seems to think that it IS where it should have been at release! Which I will admit that it is finally the polished bug-free game that any game should be at release. But anyone like me who was watching every last promo video they did teasing the game pre-release, knows it still isn't and never will be the game they promised it would be.

Their insistence on releasing on previous gen hardware is surely as much to blame as the rush to get it out for that sweet sweet pandemic money. Still looking back it's hard to say if it ever was going to live up to what they were teasing it would be.

I'm a simple man.

I don't believe their bullshots and promises.

I'm just happy if a game arrives in good, playable condition, feature and story complete.

and Cyberpunk couldnt even live up to that. Perhaps it was story complete on release? I dont know, I was never able to beat the game until like 2 years after release due to encountering a mind-numbing amount of bugs and catastrophes and thus giving up and walking away from the game for a good long time.

I would have refunded it and never thought about it again if it wasnt a gift.

Yeah with initial disaster at release it's easy to forget they originally promised multiplayer would be added in later and a robust functioning society where each NPC would have a job and routine they follow

Exactly. I hate that people are completely on CDPR side again, forgetting that they completely deceived their fans with a half baked game. Just because they eventually made it better (and still didn't deliver on what they said) doesn't mean they deserve to heralded again. Any trust I had in them is gone.
