Cyberpunk 2077 faced a tough reception at launch, but with the Phantom Liberty DLC nearing launch, one CDPR dev feels the RPG was better than history records.

…uh, no. It was a hot mess at launch.

Cyberpunk 2077 is the reason I'm no longer pre-ordering games from studios I like.

i don't think i've pre-ordered anything since bestbuy ended GCU. 20% off special editions (and in many cases a $10 giftcard for preordering)? sign me up.

$70 for a game that will probably be broken at launch and not fixed until it's a $20 game? no thanks.

sony's scummy practice of restricting steelbooks to the $150+ special editions (and not even including a physical disc to put in said steelbook) has completely killed any incentive to preorder a first party sony game. even outside sony, you see what atlus is doing where they'll re-release the game over and over again with new content and no upgrade path, or games that just outright disappoint like tales of arise, yakuza 7, etc. and it's VERY hard to justify a preorder in 2023.
