Buckle up:

Game will be hyped to the moon, be released with a million bugs and people will cry about how CDPR betrayed them, then a couple years later patch out all the bad things and win everyone's trust again.

Just like they did with witcher 3.

And Cyberpunk

Yup, Kinda did a bait and switch there to drive home that this is nothing new for CDPR.

I played Cyberpunk on launch, sold my disc after a few days, and refused to touch it again since. If a game is marketed as a fully finished game, I’m not interested in a barely running early access version. I understand they fixed most things since, but I don’t care, have plenty of other things to play. As long as gamers keep continuing to encourage this behaviour, it will keep hapoening and getting worse.

I didn't play TW3 right on launch but CP77 was... fine, on PC. Played it day one, nothing game-breaking.

However four years later the open world still disappoints compared to the masterclass that was TW3. The world feels smaller, the driving sucks ass, and NC doesn't feel nearly as lively or polished as Novigrad (though it is gorgeous and I did have a great time).

Even two years later, CP2077 was a technical regression from TW3. Bugs aside, can CDPR really pull it together and improve upon TW3 and not repeat the mistakes of CP2077, despite having to learn entirely new engine? I wouldn't bet too much on it.
