With PC reviews pretty much lying about the game’s performance and CDPR not allowing console reviews prior to launch, i was misled into buying it on PC day 1.
IGN gave it a 9/10 and most other big reviewers werent far off.
It was pretty much a coordinated false advertisement until CDPR could get their hype money…
I mean yeah they fixed it but it did take 4 years and i did already get burnt out on an inferior version of the game.
I learned my lesson then that i can only trust community reviews and that any media outlet always has an agenda.
They didn’t fix it. There’s some interesting writing there but other than that, none of the original promises came to fruition. The cops still teleport (just a little further away), the crowds are still dumb as shit (worse than GTA3) and react inconsistently and erratically. Your choices don’t really matter till the last mission. The game’s image has been rehabilitated because NVIDIA spent millions to use it as benchmark for its tech and owners of NV cards need to post-hoc rationalise having sold that kidney to buy a GPU. The game is still meh, a bastardisation of cyberpunk mythos. It’s very pretty but, shallow as fuck. Play KCD, that’s an RPG series that deserves the name RPG.
I have no clue how people have been convinced that cyberpunk is the game that was promised. Its a good game from what I understand but it is not anything close to the game that was promised pre-launch. I actually think that it was the anime more than NVIDIA that helped rehabilitate its image.
Very likely the anime helped. I wouldn’t even say cyberpunk is good. I played the GTA V campaign recently and with all its idiosyncratic choices it plays and is a much more advanced game than cyberpunk in everything but the graphical tech. Trevor, Michael, Frank, Lester, Lamar, Norton, just to name a few from the top of my head. I remember Jackie because he dies and Johnny because he’s an annoyance, but there’s very little there that’s worth remembering. Misty, misty I remember too. People hate on ubisoft open worlds and then hail cyberpunk, I can’t even.
I just want a more modern good first person RPG game. I like baldur’s gate 3 but I don’t feel like I am a character doing that I just feel like I’m telling someone what to do.
Give it a go again. I am playing it for the first time right now and this game is absolutely amazing. I heard they changed quite a lot of things in patch 2.0 and we are already at 2.21. Plus how many games are receiving support so long after release. Yes, their release was a dumpster fire, but they managed to fix most of their bugs and now the game is in really good shape.
I do believe one day i will play it and love it, really just trying to wait long enough to forget all about the 50 hours i put in after their shitty launch.
Cool, now it’s just 8 years of waiting for release and then just 4 more until they make it playable
Which validates the point that buying a game on pre-sale or Day 1 is a terrible idea.

Day 1 kcd2 has been pretty good.
Only 1 bug so far forced me to save/exit. But no crash to desktop or anything game breaking so far (knock on wood)
