Unfortunately somethings are out of their hands when they decide to market it so heavily and investors want their money. We may form opinions but we do not know the truth behind it all.
Blizzard? Don't know if thats a step up and thats coming from someone who used to praise everything Blizzard put out before they were acquired by Hacktivision.
From the rumors that we have, yeah one of the main struggles were caused by last gen compatibility.
Actually I watched Digital Foundry run a performance test on last gen. They are highly trusted for performance related reviews. They said ps4 has better hardware, aside from the xbox one's gpu, and that the worst version is on the xbox one.
That does not mean people are having your enjoyable experience on these same platforms. Its literally flooded with complaints everywhere about all systems.
I do have a next gen hardware its called a ps5 which I bought for $500 instead of upgrading my entire pc for $1000 or more
I still have hope for Diablo 4. If they mess that up Im out. As someone who played D2 for 10 years, 3 sucked. 4 looks like its going to try and fit the mold of 2. We'll see though.
RIP PS4 player
RIP CDPR shareholders
Very bad news .But what now they will be going or abandon This Project ?

Even if the game wasn't broken. Even if it can run on 4k 60fps without any bugs on all platforms. There's still gonna be backlash because of the missing/underdeveloped content.
That's not in question. I know the PS4 has better hardware.
What I'm saying is that the game seems to runs better on Xbox because the port from PC to Xbox is much easier and vice versa (and easier to optimize) due to the systems architectures. Which is very different on a PS4.
Lets be realistic....This is the corpo world. Sony just made a power move to save face since CDPR promised refunds when Sony always says no. Its just to cover their own legal butts and give a finger to CDPR.
Patches, fixes, and updates will still come... geez. Also the Xbox X and PS5 update patch hasn't even been released either so that's another thing that they put out there before it ever released.
Refund it or don't. It isn't just being optimistic to know they will fix and add on more stuff, but the types of reactions on reddit is exactly why developers quit something they care about. These mistakes happen because of dudes and dudettes in fancy clothes who think profit not product.

Right, but they would be minority opinions that most people wouldn't give a shit about. A sizeable chunk of this forum and every webspace dedicated to or discussing this game is rife with complaints or criticisms. Besides which, complaints about the quality of video games has been increasing because the level of quality not released games people are forced to accept from big budget games has decreased year on year. Try finding a game breaking bug in msg1 or silent hill or resident evil or super Mario 64. Then jump forward a decade and you have games like Skyrim which was so broken that they managed to make patches that broke the game further. The bugs and overall mess in some of the assassin's creed games has become stuff of legend. Now you come to today and have shit like fallout 76 and this game.
Yes these games eventually get patched, mostly but this should not be acceptable at all and these games only get patched if the developers give a shit and the shareholders and executives allow them to work on it and don't send the development team off to work on another game, which is the fate of many games released in the past 10 or so years.
This should have never become an acceptable standard for games to be in. It sucks personally to see a game I had an interest in get sacrificed as an example of this, but if it improves the standards of games to come then so be it. (It won't though)
I mean you get what you pay for no? A PS5 is not next gen I am sorry to tell you (it is a budget option) even though it is marketed as one it is still severely underperforming compared to a PC since you have locked settings and FPS based on what developers give you. Nvidia is improving their technology so much it is hard not to recommend going with them.
The game is not amazing though. I also play it on PC maxed out at 60 fps with ocassional drops and there are still plenty of bugs and glitches, weird performance issues at times and the AI is broken. That's not even mentioning all the cut content. I love the story, characters and some of the side missions but that's pretty much it, everything else feels like an empty facade or just broken.
I have a old GTX 750 sitting around somewhere from a old prebuilt computer, before I started building my own computers. I tried playing this game on it, but for some reason it didn't run so smoothly. I looked online and it looked kind of similar to PS4 Xbox One blocky and low resolution textures.
To be fair, games have gotten progressively more complex. Comparing Mario 64 to Skyrim is comparing apples with oranges.
More complexity means more potential for bugs. That's just a fact.
That's not to say some very complex games aren't released mostly bug free. I'm merely pointing out that comparing the games of old and the game of today isn't exactly fair.
Different strokes.
For me, just being able to bomb down Night City at night on a Kusanagi, music blaring, in first person, is worth the price of admission alone. And instantly became one of my favorite gaming experiences thanks to growing up oogling Akira and Blade Runner. That and honestly, the game just feels like Witcher 3 with cars, guns, and cyberpunk. The gameplay loops are almost exactly the same. The world is almost just as empty of things to do (Gwent at least made up for this). The NPC's are just as flat.
None of these are excuses for the city being the way it is. Simply that I'm fine with those above things, and didn't have much expectation for this game other than getting that. Though there does seem to be a lack of more meaty side quests. They exist, but there's fewer of them, and if they do have meat, they just seem to suddenly screech to a halt.
Graphics, at least on PC, also elevates the game for me. Usually I'm not much of a graphics snob, but this game is damn beautiful most of the time.
However, I totally get mileage varies WILDLY here. Because the game is buggy as hell, and because there's stuff obviously censored and/or flat out missing. Not to mention optimization issues on PC for a lot of people, and the inexcusable console releases. So I will agree with you on the fact the game is definitely not where it should be, at all. And my saying it's 'amazing' is very literally only my opinion.

Why did this post turn into everyone fighting about which system is the best..this is about the game..we were all given an unfinished game with cut content and massive bugs..piss off with you pc is better..consoles are better..who cares..we all play games and enjoy what we even play on..I even still play pong on atari..who cares
Would you happen to know why the game doesn't run so good on my GTX 750 Ti?
I used to be a PC layer, yes PC will always be ahead of consoles (I said that before) but again... RTX 3080 starts at $700 you cannot play on the GPU alone since you also need a good CPU to not bottleneck the gpu, good memory, an SSD preferably with more than 1tb space, a power supply, cooling system etc. OR you can buy a console for $500 or less and enjoy the same games which most are made on "consoles first in mind" basis.
For every bad console port there is like 10 bad PC ports. Its just a sad reality. And again, people report issues with Cyberpunk too, unless they got a beefy PC of course.
