I wonder how many oblivious parents have the PS4 and Xbone versions wrapped up for Christmas?

If your game is not buggy in some way then your project wasn't ambitious enough.

I'm not talking about Cyberpunk specifically, just early access in general. With my previous points, i think its a good solution given how much bigger and complex games are getting nowadays.
I think this is more of an issue with physical games rather than offline single player ones.

the less features you give the player the less things they have to complain about if those features are not perfect. that's what i'm talking about.
in the witcher you couldn't kill civilians - nobody cared.
you couldn't talk to them and they didn't have routines - nobody cared
no police ai - nobody cared.
you couldn't create your character (but you could change hairstyle) - nobody cared
no different cars to drive - nobody cared.
no life paths - nobody cared.
no deep progression system - nobody cared.
now they added those things (some of them better than others) so you are giving the people ammunition to bash the game if they are not happy with how those system works. the lesson here is remove them unless you can implement those systems in a perfect way. nobody will complain about things they never knew

There are a lot of people playing on base Xbox/PS4 that are enjoying the game with issues and all. The mainstream consumer is not as critical from stuff like the issues in the game on base consoles. Although 1.05 patch really improved things a lot. For anyone reading/posting on a gaming forum, we are going to be more critical of these bugs and issues than your every day consumer.

Good, PC gamers are very happy with Cyberpunk and will preorder Cyberpunk 2 the moment it will be announced.
I just hope that being a PC oriented company will let CDPR to develop for PC as a primary platform and they will not butcher future releases for a more stable console versions like Ubisoft did with all AC games after AC Unity.

What...are you even talking about? No police what? No cars what?
Being willfully obtuse isn't the way to elevate a game's discussion. I get that you are somehow personally involved and emotional about it. But pretending doesn't help anyone nor babbling.

cmon. i thought you were going to be fair with your takes.
of course you won't have cars in the witcher. it's medieval fantasy. however you could have had different horses with different stats or colors. maybe carriages. maybe mount other animals. maybe steal horses from other people.
of course there is not going to be police. again. medieval fantasy. but maybe i could slaughter civilians like the butcher of blaviken and you had a law system in place with guards chasing you and remembering your face. and send bounty hounters after you.
yet the game had none of that. and nobody cared. however cyberpunk does let you kill civilians. and suddenly you are entering gta territory because of that. instead of being in action adventure / rpg territory where nobody cares about that

I agree with you, I'll just add I hope they make RPG's again, which Cyberpunk is not, sadly.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Fallout 76 got absolutely trashed by everyone... That Star Wars Battlefield game also got trashed specifically for the predatory MTX.. and the outcry is largely what prompted a bunch of loot box legislation to be proposed/passed worldwide.
Nobody thought any of this was OK.
Bethesda bug convos are impossible to avoid... literally every thread created on anything related to them is filled with discussion of their bugginess.

Good. Im enjoying my time with it on PC. Not a single crash or glitch that's forced me to restart.

Well, many would argue that neither was The Witcher 3.
I would actually argue that The Witcher 3 would be better as an action game.

thats a shit ton, now fix it and give me a third person mode for melee fighting. Get me some fucking animations, cant be that hard with all that money.
CP2077 has way more roleplaying mechanics than Witcher 3, so no idea what you mean with again, and this time the combat its actually fun with a real skill tree and meaningful paths that affect how you play.

Just like I said.
The mess can't be fixed, ever, not even over time, no matter what they do.
According to you, that is.
Investors? Today the stock is up almost 5%. Evidently, it can crash and burn tomorrow, but excuse me if I don't put too much stock in the reliability of your divinations.
Gamers? Let's do rough math. 13 million minus 8 million pre-orders = 5 million post-launch copies sold, 38%.
38%. Not bad for a title with so much bad press and no big post-launch marketing campaign, let alone active measures to gain back the trust of suspicious gamers. Give them time.
We shall see.
You misunderstand the nature of capitalism. EA and Google are successful because they are catering to a certain demographic. EA are giving some gamers what they want, even if it's not what you want. EA keeps being successful because they're consistently good at what it is they do. In systems other than capitalism, the populace gets what the wise leaders want them to have.
Throughout the years, CD Projekt RED has banked a lot on reputation. The very act of releasing DRM-free games hinges on a measure of trust the game won't be pirated on a mass-scale, something which might be reputation-sensitive.
Had Cyberpunk 2077's release been a flawless hit the game would probably have sold more. And it would glide carefree on its way to the expansions. Now development and QA will probably take loner, marketing probably has to be refactored, stuff will probably be given for free.
Capitalism, in Ayn Rand's sense of the term, has self-correcting mechanisms like no other system.
But you can always opt for Cuba's and North Korea's RPGs.
I hear they're terrific.

Makes you wonder how much of the complaints are a noisy minority... or if the game sold something absolutely unbelievable like 20+ million prior to refunds.

don't forget about the transphobia and racism too. the more bigoted your game is and the more shady yor practices are the more money you make. let's go!

The N64 have games or a lot of games that runs at 20FPS or less. Didn't care about it honestly back then when i was a lot younger. I enjoyed those games despite that. Now i demand more. I do not accept a game that runs bad. I asked myself why people keep bringing this old games?

There's a mod that completely removes stuff like levels and makes it more like an action/adventure game.
I think it really does make the game better.

People acting like this means they have no incentive to fix things... uh... no... that's not how it works. They aren't going to be like "13 million sales? Let's call it a day!" and we know they aren't. They're also pretending this incentivizes the industry to sell broken games at launch... really? You mean the industry is going to ignore the part where they have mountains of negative coverage and are offering full refunds everywhere? If they want to examine why it sold 13 million the reasons included will not be "because it performs like garbage on old consoles and is buggy as fuck" trust me.

This game will have very long legs too, just like Witcher 3.
I can see it easily sell 20m copies, maybe even 25m once it's down to like 15 bucks with all DLCs included.

Wait an year and it should be fine.I just wish we would get full finished game day one, then we could just talk about how good/bad it is without all this drama.
Every game is better when played an year or more after release. No drama, no fanboys, no haters, no release hype, a game packed with all the important fixes and DLCs along a nice discount.

ok 13 million units guys that's enough for us. only 3 things left now:
we are going to fix last gen performance.
deliver the next gen version of the game.
and we are going to give to the community the most robust modding tools we can. they'll finish the game themselves and keep it alive like they do with bethesda games.
forget about cyberpunk. we are going back to the witcher. we said geralt story was done but you know what gamers hate us so we are bringing him back and when they see him we are back to being the gods of gaming. GG EZ.

It's not my favorite from the gen, but I'm really enjoying it. I would definitely put it in my top 15-20. The circle jerk on this game has been wild, people calling it an absolute piece of garage must hate the genre, or haven't played for more than five hours. Of course I'm playing it on Series X, so it runs fine for me.

lol "in the future" you are tripping if you don't think this shit has been going on for a while.
like have all of you completely forgotten about Star Wars Battlefront and Fallout 4?
lol people acting like CDPR invented shit they've been ignoring for years.
yes the kind of robbery where you work hard on a game for 8 years and then sell it to people. just like robbers and thieves.

Legitimately one of the best games I've ever played, so I'm happy to see it storming out of the gates. The ceiling on this must be pretty damn high; add in two years of bug fixes and optimisations, a few rounds of DLC, and a big expansion, and Cyberpunk has the potential for some scary numbers.
