the only people i feel sorry for are the workers/devs themselves. Marketing, i could say either needs a raise or are as just as much responsible for the misleading promotional material and marketing they've built over the last two years but then again id like to keep it solei towards management ultimately as they were probably just doing their jobs
But end of the day OP we weren't delivered the promised product for a multitude of reasons. companies need to be held accountable otherwise this becomes the standard set.
Pretty sure most of us don’t blame the devs. The actual devs. They blame the company as a whole, but not the developers themselves.
This ain't a 60 dollar game, if this is early access it should have a price tag to reflect such.
It ain't one small mistake either, cut content, disappointing endings (well opinion of course), and bugs, so many damn bugs.
Not to mention the abysmal frame rate on consoles. The game needs a good, dedicated optimisation patch.
this is pretty accurate. ive used a car analogy a few times myself. they promised a lot of extras and features but ultimately when you picked it up from the show-room, it was one of those cars with a lot of buttons in the centre console that simply dont press and are not connected to anything for some strange reason and youre wondering what the hell happened.
Get sold an Aston Martin and get a Honda Civic with a shot transmission instead.
Early access dont work for game advertised as RPG.
Second thing they probably did most work on prologue and first chapter - what they showed the press in 2018.
They bit more then they can chew and overpromised up until release.
Have to pay for it.
Baldur’s Gate 3 would like to have a word.
But largely, you have a point, in a sense. That doesn’t excuse them from being obligated to now deliver on those promises they made. That doesn’t mean they can give up and move to making “CP2” like some people suggest. No. They work on the game and make it whole, now. That’s all there is to it.
CDPR Made many mistakes! but i agree that Cyberpunk shows promise, after months of bugfixing and patches its gonna be a finished game but its not finished yet
Agreed, which is why I’m willing to give them until February to show a clear improvement before passing full judgement on the company. If no real and meaningful change, I won’t buy from them again, lesson learned. If so, then I’ll just not pre order and be more careful with their games in the future.
OP is the kind of guy who buys a car. It's a lemon. Then blames himself for buying it when he took it for a drive, it looked like it worked, then 2hrs after leaving the lot it has an engine failure.
EDIT: I just read OP's title and assumed the contents of the post. That's on me. I've just seen so many CDPR simps say "It works fine for me on my high-end PC. Why don't you console plebs just shell out 4k for a PC and stop complaining. They make it sound like we're mad simply about the bugs and not our inability to actually play the game due to the constant crashes. Sorry OP. My mistake.
I don’t think many can blame you for that—there’s a lot of that actual argument going around, and complete hand-waving away the last gen consoles simply because “the game is clearly next gen and those rinky dink consoles can’t handle its macho gaming power” considering they’d turn around and say that even their super powered PCs run into issues with it. It’s not a hardware issue, it’s optimisation. Anyone who says otherwise is either an elitist, an apologist, or coping hardcore. That’s my opinion, for what it matters.
I agree OP, but it's trending right now to hate on the game so everyone's just nitpicking and bandwagonning.
That’s very disingenuous, to say the least on the matter. Sure, some are being really harsh, but to say everyone is just doing it because “it’s trendy” is just about as much misrepresentation as the game itself is compared to CDPR’s marketing.
