Honestly after their absolute shit show with cyberpunk I'm more excited to sit back and watch them fuck it up again than for the game. They've lost my respect and their credibility as developers. I will pirate anything from them
They fixed CP2077 and as a matter of fact the game is pretty good, plus they are a European company so we should support them.
Yeah, they did. I wasn't a fan of every part of Cyberpunk 2077, but I have to hand it to them: the gameplay was pretty solid compared to the mess I read about at launch. They even made the player controls responsive and reasonably nice to use. That alone was a huge improvement over The Witcher 3.
(Geralt, I'll never forgive you for all the times you stepped forward into danger when I pressed back to avoid it, or decided to fiddle about with a candle when there was something more important for your hands to do, or moved like a lumbering sloth instead of... well... a witcher.)
I'm optimistic about this one.
I haven't played the game since launch so maybe I outta give it another try but I still lost respect for them. Releasing an unfinished product shouldn't be praised even if they did fix it. Should've been delayed in the first place.
Why does them being European mean we should support them tho?
It's still...only fine. Lacks some magic. Worth playing, but I found myself regularly skipping through cutscenes a lot (or trying to, thanks unskippable cutscenes inventor) just cause I was not that interested or it was obvious.
They've given Cyberpunk 4 years of support for free since the initial launch, including a full overhaul of the game. I get the state of the launch was dogshit, and you can bet your ass I'm not pre-ordering, but still holding onto this grudge is just petty. How much more sorry do you need them to be?
I paid dlc isn't free support.
I don't need them to be sorry. They had years to make the game and released garbage. I'm sick of that happening in the gaming industry and I don't support companies that do it.
Well good news, because you don't need to pay a dime to get updated to version 2.2 and receive all the free updates. Phantom Liberty is a cool story, but has zero impact on gameplay.
Yeah it was a rough launch. I just picked it up during the last steam sale and it's fucking amazing now though! I can't put it down!
I should give it another try but they stopped updating the game. I'm not expecting them to be like no man's sky but you still need mods to add in shit that was promised like the metro system
They added the (never promised) metro system last year and just released another huge free update two days ago.
They actually just released a giant patch last week!
The devs are amongst the best in the business, blame those responsible, the suits who demand unfinished products to be released. Nintendo with their older mentality of shipping phyisical media does not have the luxury to ship an unfinished product and more studios need to take a page from their book.
A rushed product is forever stained by its bad launch, a delayed product is eventually good. People have been waiting for star citizen for over a decade, we can be patient.
Nintendo is a shit company that hates its fans. Definitely not who I would use as a good example. And star citizen is a scam, not a game.
Nintendo has patches now, they just also tie you to physical media for DRM and $$ extraction.
I'd agree they seem to have fewer patches, though.
