So, you're role playing ?See above. Not a big RPG guy. I did the same for the witcher. I'm just enjoying the world and the story.
Well, sure, but isn't that almost every game?!So, you're role playing ?
The minute you assume control of the character is the moment you're role playing. Whether you're keeping to the games narrative or going free-style and jumping off cliffs, you're still role playing because that's the game.
CDPR's stock has fallen a further 16% today. Since the game was launched the stock went from 400+ to 270, despite the game having one of the best launches ever (and the best day 1 launch for PC games).
Why the feck CDPR thought that releasing a half-baked game is actually going to be a good idea?
They've become a corporation. From the company that cared about games and their players to the corporation that cares only about the money.completely out of touch senior management by the sounds of it

True, but I was talking about more stats and systems.An RPG is the world and the story.
This thread sure shows how widely peoples expectations are of performance/graphics.
some of the graphics I’m seeing on the PS4 watching my housemate genuinely wouldn’t look out of place on the PS3 and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect better than that
CDPR are just as bad as them now, if not worse.Well that’s positive at least. If this was EA or Ubisoft, they would have run for the hills already.
Higher ups generally don't have a clue.I just find it amazing that the higher-ups at CDPR wanted to release the game much earlier.![]()
Andromeda probably?CDPR are just as bad as them now, if not worse.
When is the last time EA released a shìtshow on the level of this?

We saw it happening with BioWare when EA bought them. Just history repeating itself.
I'm in your boat its disgraceful the console version no matter if its a series X/PS5 or PS4/One, but some people don't mind it and feel its in a playable state.
It's just interesting to see the wide difference in peoples expectations.
Bugs are to be expected but this number of bugs is not acceptable. I couldn't persist playing it on a PC where it is supposed to be best, and in consoles, it is supposed to be worse.Bit of a knee jerk. When hasn't one of their games launched buggy and been a pc first venture?
It is nowhere comparable. Andromeda had some bad facial expressions and people lost their shit, this has N64-like graphics at stages, every quest is bugged, the framerate easily drops to tens. It makes Andromeda look like the most polished game ever in comparison.Andromeda probably?
And I'm not even sure that was this buggy on launch, but it unfortunately had some hilarious facial expressions that generated loads of memes and got really bad reviews (I mean it wasn't a great game but I thought the reviews were still harsh because it was still pretty good). CDPR are getting a much easier ride on this even though it's even more of a mess.

Main difference is that BioWare had already lost most of their goodwill, while CDPR has many. And of course, they burned it all.

I can't answer for the console version, but for me this is way less buggy than Witcher 3 on PC at launch. The amount of times Roach got stuck in houses, hit random invisible walls throwing me to my death or getting stuck in missions due to missing triggers was crazy. I think people forget how bad that actually was at launch. In comparison I've had one hard crash and a few minor bugs, the latter haven't caused me an issue (yet).
It's still not acceptable, but CDPR have prior to this and do fix it later down the line unfortunately. I don't think they've become more corporate or changed, but they haven't learned their lessons.
Weirdly, it's been OK for me and less buggy than a lot of other titles at launch as I've only had 1 hard crash but I can see from other people that's not always the case.
Fifa every year? Come on now let’s not take the mick. EA don’t make mistakes because they don’t innovate. Cyberpunk is a ridiculously ambitious game with probably 150 hours of content. Bugs are far more likely in that kind of game. The performance on previous gen is unacceptable but any other complaints are slightly disingenuous.CDPR are just as bad as them now, if not worse.

Bioshock Infinite was quite polished. I played in launch and there was no bug, no mission failing for stupid reasons, no problems with save files, nothing wrong with it. Just that the game was not as good as we thought it will, so people got dissapointed.I think the worst thing for me is looking at what could and should have been. The game is greatly scaled back and things like the a.i and combat are still like they are in early testing as you develop, they are placeholders. I've said it a hundred times, so one more won't matter, this is Bioshock Infinite all over again. Exactly the same, the release game doesn't match the early videos and press releases/interviews from the company. You now watch the team be blamed and disassembled once they finish the dlcs.
And it's fine that people like it, it's clearly not a bad game. I myself am finding it ok, decent at times, even great at others, and I'm looking forward to getting home and playing more. But it is riddled with bad management decisions made over and over and we end up with something that just should have been so much better.
It's such a shame, but I guess it could be a lot worse. But I don't expect any of the gameplay elements to be drastically fixed. On that front, I think we have to just get used to it. Or refund for those inclined.

This is a gigantic mess.
The thing is if you park the bugs to one side and just concentrate on the game as it is, like lambs says it's ok to play and actually decent on the main story line (I'm not that far in, Act 2) but as soon as you deviate from that the quality dip is remarkable.
Basically every single side quest I have come across is go here, shoot people and come back, you know the same old things that have been in games since the dawn of time. That's before you even have to tackle the atrocious vehicles which give no sense of speed, handle like a trifle on wheels and the mini map is so bad you end up missing nearly every single turn.
There is some story there for those side missions but like you say it is very samey, not much variety thrown in.The thing is if you park the bugs to one side and just concentrate on the game as it is, like lambs says it's ok to play and actually decent on the main story line (I'm not that far in, Act 2) but as soon as you deviate from that the quality dip is remarkable.

I haven't had a single crash, just a fair amount of minor bugs, most of which are easily missed too which is why some claim to have had very few.
The issue for me is that the game quite clearly isn't finished, and I don't think it ever will be. They've released it in an 'as is' state, that last delay was about stripping back to even get a launch, and people need to get used to that fact. As much of a shame it is.
I completely agree.
Again I get why people like it and want to big it up, but objectively speaking there's no aspect in gameplay terms that even feels last gen. Even the movement of the character is off ffs![]()
I do agree with you to be fair. The game does seem unfinished in places and there’s some weak elements. I think the bug complaints are a little harsh as every single open world game launches with bugs and I’d actually say this has less than others (looking at your Bethesda).I was with you up until that last sentence.
That's the most galling aspect for me, there is literally no steps forward in terms of gameplay, in fact it's not two steps back, its twenty. The haven't nailed or polished any single element of this game, they haven't even animated V to lay on his bed properly.

The AI and open world I can understand again some of the complaints but I can’t help thinking there are afew people who came in expecting GTA in the future. I think if you go into this experice thinking it’s more Fallout than GTA you are much better set. I would say despite the issues on the PS5 this is an 8/10 with potential to hit 9/10 after bug fixes, DLC and the like, especially if CDPR go in hard on some elements.
