So yeah, it was just people saying BS at the release, the game was perfect, like the CEO said few weeks ago in an itv.

The game was so perfect that it was delisted from the PlayStation store because of bugs and performance issues.

Nah, it wasn't removed for technical reasons; Sony removed it because CDPR went behind their back and blanket-offered refunds. Which was the right thing for CDPR to do from a consumer-friendly perspective and from a PR perspective, but they should have communicated with Sony more first seeing as refunds on PlayStation go through Sony's store. I thought it was a bad look for Sony, though, personally.

That's not to excuse Cyberpunk 2077's performance on consoles in any way - they deserve flak for that.

Someone told me this a week ago and I think it's a perfect summary of what happened:

disliking cyberpunk is an opinion people who don't form opinions have. I'm sure there are people who had glaring technical issues ruin their playthrough and that's fair. But for most of them it's just a fear of clowns/ hatred of pineapple pizza mouth sound they can make.

I had it at launch on ps4 and I enjoyed it for the most part. I just endured the low frame rate because it was near the end of the ps4 life cycle and it seemed every game coming out for ps4 at the time had a shitty frame rate, so I never considered it an issue unique to Cyberpunk.

I agree only a little. The game got more flak than it deserved. It was mostly a good game.

BUT CDPR brought this on themselves by building up massive hype with excessive promises they in the end were not able to deliver on. In addition they stubbornly tried to get a next gen game on last gen consoles which also failed hard.

I think a lot of the stuff that went wrong was management and marketing related and could have been avoided.

The game got more flak than it deserved.

It was a literal slideshow on past gen consoles and they knew that so they tried to prevent reviewers from warning people. Then happily took full price from consumers for it.

Literally no amount of flak would be enough for that shady shit.

[–] aksdb@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I specifically addressed and criticized that point.
