Hi anyone, I have been reading about the Reddit saga today and I am wondering how is the game changed compared to when it is released? I remember a lot of complains about the game is broke and lots of bugs back then, and I didn’t get the game back then.

It was very much playable and enjoyable on PC at release, the whole whining was mostly from console players and gullible folks from PC camp.

If you are on PC, just play it. You might want to wait for the Phantom Liberty to come out (September, IIRC); they are changing some core game mechanics there. I'm definitely going to play it then.

Currently I'm on my 3rd playthrough, on my 2nd one (last summer) it was a somewhat buggy patch, current state of the game feels amazing.

Yup. The whining was hilarious because the same people would be praising whatever buggy release Bethesda would make.

Game was awesome back then and is now even better.

The whining made me kinda angry and made me realize average reddit gamer is a pathetic excuse for human being. Devs, writers, designers and all the rest had done exceptional job, marketing people fucked them and then this class action suit appeared.

Since then I don't care for what circlejerking gamers on the internet say. It's their parents' problem, not mine.

They did not do an exceptional job on the PS4 version I played, however you slice it. I didn't whine much publically but I did get a refund. It is way better on a decent PC now but at launch on PS4 it was unplayable.

Yup, this is next-gen game they tried to fit into obsolete hardware due to marketing stuff. I do not understand why one would buy it for weak hardware and then whine, guess advertisement was too good.

I bought it for the device I had, one which it was developed for. I don't think it's too much to expect the game to work.

Well come on, that is truly CDPR's fault to release it to last gen consoles, can't expect consumers to verify that it really runs.

I am programmer by trade, been doing it for last like 20 years and I've worked with exactly 1 project manager that helped and 1 more that didn't really matter. Every other project manager I worked with was bad for the managed project.

I think that's the case with CDPR: Cyberpunk 2077 was managed poorly. I'd they just didn't release it on consoles, made it PC exclusive for a couple of years, the game would probably fare better.

That said I as a PC person used to check game requirements and even if it looks ok I still do some research. Console players should do it too, it's not a hard skill and doesn't take much time, and if your are in a hype train this research would be enjoyable for you.
