What is maddening that is the story have very powerful moments. But then they are so few.. So sparse. Not to mention horrible time skipping moments. 5% of the game is good storyline the rest is clear the bandit camp gameplay. And gigs with little no story for the most part that just feel like junk filler content.
THis world the dev created is so beautiful it screams justice. Because what was did with the game does not make this night city justice at all. I wish all the quests had the depth of the Judy Evelyne Panam or Main story arch instead we got this short story arcs that are a major minority in the game the rest is looter shooter gameplay garbage.
I wish cd project would fix the game make it beautiful like it supposed to be. I wish... But yet. We don't know nothing about theyr intention nothing other than: Hey we know we screwed up in consolose we will try to fix that.
It's in a better playable state specifically after 1.06 on PC, that save file issue really, meant anyone exploratory or creative with the mechanics available was in danger. However, if the issue has been at least currently addressed.
I cannot speak for consoles, but I would have either dropped earliest gen entirely or focused them after the holidays at least. As the feeling I'm getting is, this game wasn't being worked on by enough good senior talent, and if anything they should have been massively hiring during those few years before launch, willing to accept special contracts for excelling developers, & not frugally hire workers while focusing marketing..
The world is so beautiful to get lost in, when it's working.. The stories are so well done I have had emotional reactions leveling tears during a scene in particular. Few writers can pull that off, they just need more workers in others areas, and management to get off their backs about deadlines, for starters.. I want to say more, but I think that's plenty.
The reason I don't think they will lose much but legal fees and investors won't win this suit case, though, is the investors don't have the case laid out properly. This kind of thing goes on daily, it's not surprising in nearly any other AAA case. This company just was different. However, Sony can be countered openly in court about how little they quality assure anything on their platform. I think CDPR is being singled out because they aren't as big as some of the others who just cover this stuff up on the regular. Not to mention, unlike many of those other examples, they were, and are actively patching the game.
