| KLXVER said: Thats why not much will be done and publishers hold all the power in this industry. Gamers just cant come together and change the industry for the better. We are too busy rooting for our "teams" and laugh at the misfortune of the fans of other "teams". All we can do now is doing even more research before buying games or just take a chance and hope the publisher will be good to us and the game works. |
Divide and conquer!
It's funny to see all the contradictions so blatantly exposed. For example the Cyberpunk 2077 Buy now for XBox add is plastered all over Eurogamer, right behind
Sony pulls Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store, offers refunds
UPDATE: Microsoft expands refund policy.
And a bit further down
Recommended Cyberpunk 2077 review - intoxicating potential, half undermined, half met, Finite City.
At this point I think it's best for CDPR to pull a Sean Murry. Stop talking and quietly start working on fixing/finishing the game. No more promises. It was stupid to promise a patch for the 21st and 2 more major updates in Januari in Februari. They did it to prevent refunds, yet it only made it worse by asking people to pls wait or try to get a refund through the regular channels before having any policies in place. Make it first, then announce. Monday all eyes will be focused on what the patch fixes, scratch that, on what it doesn't fix. The dev team desperately needs a break to start with fresh eyes in the new year.
It's clear there will be no easy fix, no couple patches to fix it all. Hopefully the board is finally starting to see this as well.
Patch 1.05 is out already for consoles (pc follows soon)

Looks like the usual bug regression phase, and as expected the reactions range from, "how bout they drop a real patch" to "lmao they leave the PC behind the console version, wtf they doin?" "and next patch is in late January. thanks CDPR for your "SO HARD WORK"
At this point, just let it rest. Give the team a break, start fresh next year. There is nothing more that can be done right now that can't be done much better and more efficiently with fresh minds next year. Hopefully that's exactly the reason why the patch dropped today, close shop, finally have a weekend off to recoup.
