Current Events > CDPR apologizes for Cyberpunk launch, promises patches and refunds.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Shame on CDPR for putting out such a buggy mess of a game. This is really just a PR move to get back into the good graces of the community. Its cool if all the bugs are ironed out but that wont fix all the other issues that plague the game. I hope people learn not to blindly worship developers from now on.

Is he ok

His favorite solution to problems is crunch time so maybe this is breaking his brain a little more.

I wouldn't have hope that people will stop blindly worshiping developers.

I'm referring to ppl who say the game is "pretty good" or better lol

I've never heard "buyer's remorse" used in this context; it's literally a sense of regret you get from buying something. I don't regret buying it...

@Conflict Can only really judge based on the issues everyone is having on PS4 (to the point where Sony is reportedly refunding it now).

my game works perfectly(high-end PC)

Also, I haven't gone to game boards in many years (almost forgot they existed on this site lmao) and I started visiting them for the game and some of the shit I see there is mindblowing.

People keep comparing it to Red Dead Redemption 2. I don't understand why, it's a completely different game. But more than that, people are saying it's a more complete world with more detail and more to do than Red Dead Redemption 2... I guess if you consider doing the same side gigs and crime alerts over and over again to be "more to do", maybe that's not inaccurate but just having a lot of fluff doesn't say much about the quality of the game.

Have also seen one person say it's the same as GTA 5.

I really don't know if these people are trolling or what's going on.

As far as open world aspects goes.

GTA V is objectively better.

Oh I don't disagree, I think GTA 5 and RDR2 are both way more compelling open world adventures.

But this person is saying that this game and GTA 5 are identical. And keeps doubling down on it.

Why is it that in most triple A games the artists ALWAYS knock it out of the park, but the gameplay designers and programmers only range from mediocre to hopeless fuckups

I've been writing and engineering software for almost 10 years and these guys are lucky they're working on something less critical like a video game

They should have just canceled the PS4 and XB1 versions.

They couldn't. That's where all the money is.

Dear gamers,

Exactly. And it's why they hid the footage of them.

It's crazy how many people overlook all of the shady shit they've done for this game because they like the developer. EA or Ubisoft would get raked over the coals for this. Hell even they have never banned reviewers from using their own footage.

It's crazy to think that Assassin's Creed Unity was absolutely mocked for its bugs while this game has them even worse and people are now saying it doesn't matter because it'll get fixed later.

why couldnt they just not rush a release for christmas

the answer is they will make more money regardless, despite any refunds they may hand out

they arent sorry and let nobody forget that

the dev team is sorry,

Management is not.

Please understand.

This is way better than Unity was at launch. It's actually playable.

Tell that to OG PS4 and Xbox One players.

It even has the glitch where textures won't load and the game looks horrible.

cdpr fanboys are a disgrace

What's funny is, people are absolutely shitting on the sorry state the game is in. The official subreddit, cyberpunkgame, is all glitch videos, memes, and shit talking. It's great for a laugh actually. The fans who like the game straight up made another sub, lowsodiumcyberpunk, to talk about the game lol.

Because most people are normal and don't treat video games as a core part of their lives.

The group of people who decided that Cyberpunk was going to be the best game ever and attacked others who said anything otherwise are a minority. Just a very vocal minority.

It's funny watching the backlash gradually get harder and harder against the game. Funny that less than a week ago people were whining about a 7/10 game being unfair and thinking the only complaints were from 'SJWs'

The subreddit is hilarious right now. It's good that it's mocking the game without going full on ridiculous outrage over it.

The picture on the right is supposedly of a random NPC, but regardless the visual quality is shocking.

the ps4 boards are full of fanboys defending the devs and saying they wont refund cos they have full faith in them

lmfao

It's weird how people think "I'm having fun and not experiencing problems" invalidates the easily verifiable proof that others are having a bad time and experiencing awful problems. And I say this as someone who's enjoying themselves.

I get that some people are upset. The game is definitely broken, and if people want a refund they should get one.

Meanwhile I'll keep playing around in this god awful mess because I'm having a blast.

Yeah. I haven't really had much trouble beyond the occasional graphical bug, and Dum Dum following me around helping me in fights. But i'm playing on a high end PC. If I had bought this for my PS4 and had all of these issues I would have been super pissed.

CDPR did what basically every other gaming company does.

Release a broken game, wait til the bad publicity sets in, release an apology and promise to fix issues.

They really aren't any different than other AAA game companies and people need to stop pretending they are.

I was mainly talking about refunding part.

So cdpr was lying about refunds they arent offering refunds at all
