How so? He said that advertising of Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky was fake and was created in order to confuse potential buyers, making them think they buying something else. Well that is impossible to deny. These games are just not what was promised on every level. No mention of consoles versions of the game which are literally unplayable, speaking about Cyberpunk in particular.
Like i said, i looked back at the trailers and demos about CP2077 and for me the final game is more then what I saw back then. The promises you talk about are in absolute majority blown up and twisted words of developers by gaming journalists. Example i gave In some post above:
Gamerant article:
Speaking to WCCFTech, Liu revealed that in Cyberpunk 2077, the police force is "up for hire" and that "laws exist to take bribes from corporations." The corporation could bribe the government to pass a law and then used the corrupt police force to send the law after players.
Title of the article:
CD Projekt RED reveals that Cyberpunk 2077 will have a 'wanted' system with corrupt police as well as 'powerful' NPCs who can come after the player character.
Conclusion:
Dev was talking about the background story of how police are in the game and why. Journalist hinted that there is some kind of bribery system where player can bribe cops. I have seen actually people talk about "You said i can bribe cops but I can't, you lied!".
This is just one example. So no, they didn't lie, some people bought the hype generated by click baiting gaming journalism. If you think otherwise well, you are free to.
IMHO is a key world. The game has it good sides no doubts, but lacks on so many levels, that it can be hardly called AAA, no speaking of clearly unfinished state of the game. If it's ok for you, it's fine, but asking other people to "show respect" to the company, which took their money with for the product they never delivered, that is beyond me... Cyberpunk would never had this amount of preorders if people knew exactly what they were buying.
Again, it's your opinion. My opinion:
The game has bugs, but no bugs that hinder the game from being great. I had to reload a save once and got a crash once, that's less then most games i played. It's definitely an AAA title, pretty much Ax4 title since few games can compare to the scale and ambition of this project.
The game is great and it shows in amount of refunds vs amount of orders. For 5 weeks after release it was the most bought game on steam. (Not sure if it's still is, maybe so). The game has almost or soon will be sold more after release then during pre-order. Not sure where you get your data from.
What is the meaning of "platformer"? Is God of War a platformer? And was RDR2 a platformer until it released on XBox and months later on PC, too?
Have you ever played super nintendo or snes? This was the golden age of platformers. First super mario games, contra, donkey Kong games, sonic. Platformer is a type of game where you are limited to run either left or right, it's flat. You usually have to jump a lot.
