I sure had a lot fun with it. Hoping for a sequel.

got_dam595d ago

I had fun as well. Wasn't what was promised, sure. But I still had a lot of fun. I do really hope cdpr learned a lesson from this.

blackblades594d ago (Edited 594d ago )

Wish i gotten it for $5 at bestbuy that one day. Sold out in a heart beat because of that $5 deal. Be awhile before I get this game.

Hikoran594d ago

Because you don't want to pay more then $5? Wow.

raWfodog593d ago

I have not played it yet and I’m holding off until I get my PS5. Looking forward to visiting Night City.

Dirty_Lemons595d ago

Eh at this point those who enjoy it, enjoy it. Those who don't, don't. I enjoyed the vanilla version using backwards compatibility, and I've had a blast on the next gen one too.

It's still shocking the state in which it was released, and maybe for PS4/ Xbox One gamers it still is, but at this point these articles are just easy click bait for a mug like me.

DragonWarrior19595d ago

Yeah, continuing to forgive developers for releasing completely unfinished games, lying about the game/development/marketing, and allowing them to continue to proceed without any penalty will only allow them to do this in the future. They released Witcher 3 in a terrible state, we forgave them. They completely botched Cyberpunk (and it's still not even completely finished, still massive game breaking bugs, but sure let's completely forgive them. I'm sure nothing will go wrong with Witch 4 whatsoever.

anast595d ago

Do you play only indie games from honest devs and publishers? If so, you are a saint.

got_dam595d ago

I would say stock prices crumbling 75% is not them getting away with it. The company took an unbelievably massive financial hit from this.

JEECE595d ago

It's baffling how many people don't understand this. People say "well it sold millions so they are laughing all the way to the bank." No they aren't. If you own stock or are partially compensated through stock, you absolutely felt pain.

PapaBop594d ago

Beat me to the punch. CDPR aren't EA, Activision or Ubi, they can't afford to release half baked products, they will learn their lesson simply because they have to.

Crows90595d ago

There were penalties. What world did you live in during the refunds and loss of stock value?

DragonWarrior19595d ago

But everyone coming out now pretending like nothing is wrong and CDPR did nothing wrong is revisionist history. Like the article says, it hasn't earn it. It never will and nor it shouldn't. Stop being a corperate boot licker.

Crows90595d ago

@dragon
The game was buggy. That's all it was. Everything else in the game was more than good enough.
People that followed the hype like puppies for a treat will mention that it wasn't what was promised but that didn't affect me at all. Game was perfectly playable when I got my hands on it and the story was amazing.

Bathyj595d ago

Some us don't need to hold their feet to the fire anymore. That's been flogged to death. They've paid plenty with bad press, loss of sales and ill will.

Some us are just interested if the game today in its current state is worth playing.

got_dam595d ago

Agreed. Nobody will forget what happened. Have have not seen anyone excuse CDPR for the fuck up. Most things have said the game is worth playing with some qualifier like "now" or "finally" and definitely do not fail to mention the catastrophe that was the release. Personally, even though I enjoy cyberpunk, it will take a few releases with no fuckery attached for me to actually trust CDPR again. They are a grain of salt company like Ubi or EA now.

Bathyj595d ago

So do you think it's worth it now? It's cheap to buy on PS4 now and I think you get a free upgrade to PS5. Now might be the time.to jump in.

CBaoth594d ago

yes Bathyj I paid $5 for it. Free upgrade. They're doing an actual current gen patch as well now that old gen is done. Well worth it at that price. Expansion incoming. Knowing CDR it will be much better than base game too

DarthZoolu594d ago (Edited 594d ago )

Stop buying games at release! This is the easiest thing in the world to fix. I bought Cyberpunk for $10 after watching a digital foundry video saying that it ran pretty OK on the series X. It doesn’t matter if these gaming companies lie because you can easily wait a few days and find out the truth!

Outlawzz595d ago

It's been on sale on steam for half off. I'm waiting for 60 or 70 percent off tbh lol

Indo595d ago

I remember it being $10 on PSN at one point lol.

Snakeeater25594d ago

Well it was free for everyone when it lunched so … ? Why did you wait so long haha

generic-user-name595d ago

The only way I'm buying Cyberpunk is if they add PSVR2 support.

SullysCigar595d ago

There's a game coming up called Low-Fi with a cool cyberpunk aesthetic.

generic-user-name595d ago

I've my eye on that one but it's a much smaller scale title.

ChiefofLoliPolice595d ago

I hope you got a PC then. There is a amazing VR mod for CP2077. Console I doubt it. Then again hell CDPR just might do it on PSVR2.

generic-user-name594d ago

I'm hoping to get a PC powerful enough to do high quality VR in the near future but until then I'll be relying on PSVR2. Although even with PC, official support is always going to beat a mod, RE8 VR previews state as much anyway.

Snakeeater25594d ago

I think it could be really cool and more interesting than the spin off horizon

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7210d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii10d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast10d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM9d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife9d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit9d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife9d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

https://rebel-wolves.com/

just_looken21d ago

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror21d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC22d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken21d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.

They will need to add everything they promised in the first one and not over promise on the second one.

just_looken22d ago

They also need to drop esg then hire employees that have knowledge not hire them because they have a set of tits.

Official video they hired people to fill the esg clipboard

Hofstaderman22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

As somebody who has been playing the tabletop games since the 90s and was let down on launch by my PS4 version, you can bet I'm not going the preorder any sequel.

nmbr1esq22d ago

3rd person option, and everything else that was originally promised. Next don't force agenda driven naratives. Finally, release a finished product without need for day one patches.
