Oh God, what a failure...
CDPR doesn't value the people that play video games. Maybe CDPR doesn't know us; doesn't care? I'm not sure it makes any difference for CDPR to try to improve on that. The product itself is just so far from the mark of where people are comfortable inside video games; while in the act of playing those video games. How could this be? We have been making modifications for video games for over 15 years. Right there you have what people want. We make what we want to use, and is it too much to even have looked at anything we have done in the last 15 years? What haven't we done in the last 15 years?
Is this like some desperate attempt to stay valid by a now well aged company that somehow seeks to connect with the majority here; of people born after 1980 ??? I get it. There are just so many of those people. But what you might not understand is the type of person that is. There are so many of those type of people that nobody can really nail them down. You are making a game for everybody. That's not how all those older games got made. We knew very well who we were making the games for. It was a niche group of computer nerds. Now it's everybody, and while being that it also contains all the people born after 1980; which exacerbates the situation.
CDPR makes very poor versions of console ports for people that might as well not exist; because they are so different from one another, and everybody else while doing so. There were plenty of people born before 1980. Maybe that is the solution. Make games for computer nerds that were born before 1980. Then just take all the work out of it. Most of the industry does that. Makes it so almost no thought or effort has to be put into playing video games. Then just pandering; mostly. I know it's garbage, but what is the alternative? Making a RPG for 6 years, and then almost turning around because it isn't as profitable as very high levels of marketing for whatever garbage came out of the pipeline.
I know that CDPR knows what a traditional video game is. Perhaps we shouldn't try to reinvent the wheel here. What worked in the past; will work in the future. But what it won't do is work for everyone. I don't know the answer to any of this either. I do know very well that if a video game project is made to it's authentic design; that it will be successful. I feel like CP77 got turned into garbage along the way because of what it was trying to do, and how that time period is marked by a detachment of authenticity. Whatever happened; happened. And the result of which is now, that we play a game that doesn't ring true to it's authentic design.
Somehow, anything we do inside CP77; has a layer of cognitive dissonance associated with it. The act of playing the game itself is counterproductive to the nature of our hobby. It's not a good position to be in. We liked the game. We even enjoy playing it. Although deeper down in the mind or in the heart of the player; we know. This game is not good. This game is not finished. This game is a lie. This game has very little if any, quality of life elements for any player on any system. CP77 might have polish all over it, but almost none of it speaks to the core of how we use video games in our hobby.
The game isn't new or old; it's a comfortable sort of cognitive dissonance at best (while playing), and one that doesn't make any correct sort of sense that a person that plays video games would use to make new video games. I feel like CDPR hates me because I play video games. As a customer I feel like CDPR doesn't care how I spend my time in this hobby; or why I spend time in this hobby. And as a customer I feel like CDPR doesn't care what I spend my money on either. That I am some form of stupidity that exists in humanity only for the sake of exploitation. Yeah. I'd say it's even deeper than that. I'll never buy another thing from CDP/GOG/CDPR again.
Obviously, developing TW3 & C77 simultaneously; was a bad idea. CDPR failed to deliver a cohesive product, and betrayed the authenticity of that product while doing so. I didn't buy or play The Witcher III, but now I'll never buy or play The Witcher III. Does that make any sense? I'm not even sure I'll keep playing CP77, and I already own that. I've never been sure that I'll keep playing CP77. That is a big problem. That while playing; I am actively questioning why I'm engaging in a activity that is a misattribution of arousal, while that also has almost no benefit of doing so. I smoke tobacco; it's killing me. But I enjoy the tobacco. It makes sense.
CP77 while playing it; is just a constant reminder of how this product has betrayed and failed it's consumer. Never you mind the consideration of myself having to explain to my fellow enthusiasts of why I'm playing a game that is so obviously a bad game. I mean: CP77 is a practice in futility. The ephemeral nature of everything inside the game is a constant reminder that the portion of the infinite universe where Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't exist; is the portion of the universe that is better off from having not created a Cyberpunk 2077 game there. I feel that I somehow need a wormhole to escape CDPR's failure to deliver what was promised, and also CDPR's betrayal of those fans.
So yeah. No big deal. Just go ahead, and abandon CP77. Nobody wants that game anymore. People don't even want to hear about CP77 in the news. It's press, but it isn't good press. It isn't the kind of press that gets people to buy your products. I mean: there is nothing that will ever get me to buy anything from Poland again? What the what in the what would I ever buy from CDP/GOG/CDPR again; when the first and last thing I bought from CDP/GOG/CDPR was a bad experience? How much worse than a bad experience could it have been. I mean: maybe if my parents completely ignored me when I was young. It kind of feels like that. But I digress...
