they are apparently proud with the game they delivered on PC, so prolly never.
It seems that they only listen to the criticisms of IGN with 10/10 where they praise the video of 2018 xD Highlighting everything we do not have in the current state (cut content).
and I think this well thought out post has persuaded me not to buy it, unless they completely turn it around.
And cdp FOR SURE fooling herself if they think that I will buy another of them games anymore, if this will be the case... (and yes, I believe it is too...)
just stop lying to us plz , that is all we asked , is really that hard ?
Not cut content: 2018 video states 30 seconds in: that everything is subject to change.
I wonder how many more times this inconvenient truth will have to be repeated.
I think you did not understand me, in the IGN reviews they rate based on the demo and not the game.
That is the joke.
I got almost 300 hours in this game, Got my monies worth and bough ton's of merch. Like around 1k, Even though i do have some disappointment in the handling of the game and cut backs on content. I can tell it was a pain in the ass of a game to make. I want to understand so badly, CDPR you're the last hope i have in gaming Development and publishing. Be forward and blunt! us fans would back you up. Beating around the bush pisses people off, you have come so far from what you started as a super small indie dev pub.
I ain't gonna refund. You ain't as bad as Bethesda. Just don't do it again...

FAQ
Q: Why is there such a gap between PC versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and old-gen consoles?
A: Cyberpunk 2077 is huge in scope, it features a multitude of custom objects, interacting systems and mechanics. In the game, everything is not stretched out over flat terrain where we can make things less taxing hardware-wise, but condensed in one big city and in a relatively loading-free environment. We made it even more difficult for ourselves by first wanting to make the game look epic on PCs and then adjusting it to consoles — especially old-gens. That was our core assumption. And things did not look super difficult at first, while we knew the hardware gap, ultimately, time has proven that we've underestimated the task.
Q: What was the main issue that made development for consoles that difficult?
A: The main culprit was having to constantly improve our in-game streaming system for old-gen consoles. Streaming is responsible for “feeding” the engine with what you see on screen, as well as the game mechanics. Since the city is so packed and the disk bandwidth of old-gen consoles is what it is, this is something that constantly challenged us.
Q: Didn’t you test old-gen consoles to keep tabs on the experience?
A: We did. As it turned out, our testing did not show many of the crashes you experienced while playing the game. As we got closer to launch, we saw significant improvements each and every day, and we really believed we’d deliver in the final day zero update.
Q: Why was there a gap between PC and console reviews?
A: We started sending out PC review keys to start the review process in the first week of December. Come December 10th, launch day, we had a really good start with PC reviews, and while it’s not perfect, this is a version of the game we were, and still are, very proud of. When it comes to the review process for consoles, at the same time PC codes were sent out we were still working hard to improve the quality of the game on old-gen consoles. Every extra day that we worked on the day zero update brought visible improvement — that’s why we started sending console codes for reviews on the 8th December, which was later than we had planned.
Q: What have you done since launch to make the game better?
A: Our top priority since launch has been to fix bugs in Cyberpunk 2077. We have already released three hotfixes which have improved the game, but these are just the beginning.
Q: What are you going to do going forward to fix Cyberpunk 2077?
A: We are focused on fixing the bugs and crashes players are experiencing across every platform. You can expect more in the way of patches — both small and large — to be released regularly. The first update will drop in the next 10 days, and it will be followed by a larger, more significant update, in the weeks after. Our plans for supporting Cyberpunk 2077 in the long-term are unchanged, and we will continue to introduce updates and patches to give all players across all consoles and PCs a better experience with the game.
Q: You have said there would be free DLC for the game in ‘early 2021’, will this be impacted by improvements?
A: We’re still planning on releasing free DLC for the game, just like with The Witcher 3. However, we have decided that our priority is working on the most important fixes and updates. We will be releasing free DLC afterwards — we’ll have more to say about that in the coming months.
Q: When can we expect the next-gen update for Cyberpunk 2077?
A: For those who are playing the game on next-gen consoles via backwards compatibility, we are planning the free, next-gen update for Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox Series consoles, and PlayStation 5, this year. We’re aiming for the second half of the year and we’ll reveal more when we have more to share.
Q: Are you making the team crunch to work on the patches?
A: The team is working to bring relevant fixes to the game without any obligatory overtime. Avoiding crunch on all of our future projects is one of our top priorities.
Q: When is the game coming back to PlayStation Store?
A: We are working on fixes and updates, and are working with Sony to bring Cyberpunk 2077 back to PlayStation Store as soon as possible.
Q: What is the status of the Help Me Refund initiative?
A: The initiative is progressing according to plan and we just sent out the first wave of reimbursements.
After the Bloomberg report...
My hopes that Cyberpunk 2077 one day would reach the level of Witcher 3 are basically extinguished
>>CDPR,
Make history, be the first big developer to make a huge Comeback. (You are way better than Hello Games)
Finish developing the Single Player with all elements it was intended. Regain your status of player-focused company
Charge us a Season Pass, I don’t care. Just don’t abandon the Single Player campaign to focus on your Live-Service Multiplayer <<
Well... that’s it
I am done following or posting anything here
In all honesty, I believe a person with terminal brain cancer has more chance to have his prayers answered by God than CDPR answer our prayers
Good luck to you all
My hopes for good Single Player RPG are now on Microsoft/Bethesda
(OMG...
this is the rock bottom of a Single Player gamer )

also I notice people talk about the bad police mechanics. You know cops just spawn right behind you and when you drive off the police basically act like you were never there?
Well I think that the cops appearing right behind you is buggy, but I think there are story reasons why cops just forget about you once you drive off.
I mean Night City is a dangerous place and NCPD is badly underfunded, and guys going psycho and killing random people in NC probably happens so often that if the cop happens to be there, they'll deal with it, but once you're gone they really do not have the resource to care. Unless you're so bad that MAXTRAX gets called, in that case they just flatline you without a thought.
So I don't think it's a bug, but it's intended.

First of all...sooo cuteee... Ahh dont be that naive. Second, the cops spawn like that because they cant drive past 20 mhr...there is one cop car moving and they chase you but you have to drive reeeeeeaaaally slooow just to shoot at you. The driving AI is soo bad that they cant change lanes and when you race with Claire they racers respawn just to get close to you... This game AI is a joke. Ofcourse the cops are made that way cause thats the only thing they can do...nothing else. Braindead npcs, cars cant switch lanes to avoid ur car so they made a huge traffic jam...
Just don't....
Sure.. but if you're an NCPD officer and you see people get their brain blown out all the time with zero consequences (one side quest deal with this), what's the point? At this point cops just deal with what they can deal with because I guarantee you when cops chase you at 20mph, they'll see another psycho blowing people's brain out and they gotta deal with that too.
More realistic is if you killed enough people within a certain amount of time in an area (or killed enough cops) MAXTRAX would be called which is hard as hell to kill and will kill you every single time, and if you drive off they'll just shoot missiles at you.
But then people will complain how cops are overpowered and all that.
It's not intended nor it's a bug. It's unfinished and unrealized. The very late revisioning of this project caused the half-assed systems to be shoehorned in and not fully realized. I mean, CP2077 only had 500+ people work on it's very 1st installment and got overhauled halfway through. As opposed to RdD2's 2000+ staff that worked on a sequel of an already fully realized IP. That's asking for a miracle or inhumane hours of work considering CP2077's map and systems in place are in a far larger scope than RDR2's.
You can tie almost anything down to the lore and game direction focus just for it to make sense. I do that often for this game(or any game)as well and it works for me for the most part, bugs and cut content aside. But this very particular aspect feels half-assed and shoehorned more than anything as if not enough time and resources was spent on it. Whoever coded it in is probably frustrated with how it turned out as well and definitely deserved much more time with it.

I love the game. I love the potential. I think you made some big mistakes and handled them very poorly, but I feel confident that you will deliver.
I'm behind you guys 100 percent. As with any relationship, there has to be forgiveness. That said, please learn from this and never try to obfuscate customers when stuff doesn't work as planned.
Thank you for the apology and the explanation. I admire your commitment to your developers and vision.
Now get on with it and make this thing shine.

This will never be the game that we all expected. I cant brag about it with everyone I know for being a great cdpr fan. It just cant happen. It had to be the best of them all.
The " work in project, subject to change " means what they are showing is worse than the final product, which will be a much improved and upgraded version of said demo.
They did the other way around, final game is a downgrade in every single aspect when compared to what the demo shows and the narrator afirms confidently will be available in the final game.
Costumers are more than right to always expect improved final products and not a worse product than what was clearly advertised.
