I don’t claim to know much about this but I guess it pulled a No Man’s Sky and patched in everything that needed to be fixed or added. And it’s half off on steam right now so I’m considering pulling the trigger. Should I?

    I don’t think its a No Man’s Sky situation. Cyberpunk 2077 suffered the most from high expectations and lies told while advertising the game. The game is decent, I personally enjoyed it a lot when I bought it for 20€ a year after release. But they did not go back and add things they promised but didn’t deliver on.

      Not yet, anyway. There are a lot of improvements coming with the DLC, supposedly. The police overhaul on its own has the potential to add tons of replayability. Getting a wanted level & running from the cops was like 90% of my GTA IV time.

        Now that you mention it. There was a big refund happening on PlayStation 4, I think? Because the game was basically unplayable on console.

        I wonder how these things happen sometimes. Someone must have noticed, right? How did they even do any sort of testing on these versions?

          I think they developed for PS5 / Xbox Series but promised backwards compatibility with PS4 / Xbox One.

          The backwards compatibility just didn’t work. The hardware couldn’t handle it as written and they scrambled to strip it down.
