No, there is night. Night City has lighting.
I picked up that $10 Best Buy order of Xbox version of the game last night. Very nice! It’s been a while since I bought a physical game. (I think Dark Souls 3 was the last one). The packaging and tchotchkes are nice. Plus I really like the Steel case. I was initially thinking of just keeping some other random games in the Steelcase that I don’t have covers for, but this Steelcase definitely needs to house the Cyberpunk discs (it comes on 2 Blu-ray discs). I can use the original plastic cover to store other game discs.
Heh, it’s revealing that the most salient features of this game are its packaging and ability to help store other games.
Just a few thoughts as I cool off before entering the outside to finish mowing my lawn…
Those who are disappointed that this game did not live up to the “Marketing Hype” have a valid point. However, as an Engineer in a global company that (of course) has a “Marketing Department” I understand what they did. And I believe they did their jobs.
And I think their Engineering staff is doing a hell of a job trying to perfect a project they have been working on for many years.
That project is (IMHO) never exactly what the Marketing Department is spinning before the actual product launch! But the Engineering team appears to be very passionate about it. And I applaud the Management Team for letting the Engineers continue to go with it!
So, just my 2(c)

I played the game shortly after release and there were no 5 minutes without an obvious bug. Even main story cutscenes with no user input had broken animation. Devs like Ubisoft release less junky games with a similar level of technical and design ambition every year or so. Management is to blame for releasing an obviously bad product but engineers should take no pride in this.
Been playing it today. Still encountering unlootable items, NPCs doing crazy physics stuff, and other bugs. On the plus side, I was finally able to finish the Delamain questline.
And the “Devs” (ie. Engineers) are not still working to produce the game you wanted? And the Management Team at CDPR is not making that effort a priority?
Saying “this game is buggy” is not saying “the software engineer(s) who worked on this didn’t care and/or sucks.”
Oh Lord. “It’s all about you!” is some hot marketing bullshit.
It’s a singleplayer game that most people would play once. Most of them already did, and after more than 8 years of waiting they got an extremely buggy game that was removed from some storefronts for half a year after release. It is still extremely buggy.
I guess a good job from engineers for making it slightly less buggy. Doesn’t change the fact they’ve launched one of the buggiest AAA-releases ever. Even with most of the blame being on marketing engineers are still responsible for committing to goals they never achieved before providing basic working functionality.
I saw the title and honestly it made me expect this, lol. I’ve apparently seen too much Doctor Who in my life.
I’ve never actually finished the game. I gave up after not being able to not get one-shotted at some point. But the points I am trying to expresses are that:
- I believe the Software Engineers behind this project are very passionate and dedicated to it (imho).
- I still applauded CPDR Management for standing behind the release (buggy as it was) by funding continued development of it.
FYI, I am NOT a Software Engineer…
I agree. Entirely.
My post was not intended to detract from what what you posted. As I am completely with you on that!
My post was only intended to applaud CPDRs Management Team for prioritizing their Engineering Team on completing the vision they obviously missed in the initial release.
A LOT of companies would “cut bait” and run away. CPDR did not. And so I am am still interested (yet no longer a fan).

Is there a forum rule somewhere saying that every time this thread gets bumped it must include at least one of @rei’s toxic shitposts?

Only played up to the VR tutorial, but I hope that ride along shooting thing thing isn’t common. I found it near impossible. I think I got one guy.
dude go read the rules
it’s number 6 on the list
Sh*t. And here we go… again…

I’ve been fair in my critical posts with evidence laid out about how broken a release it was and continues to be and don’t even troll Paul that much anymore. Paul is an unabashed “homer” for CDPR though—it’s in his username.
I don’t think ANYONE would consider your posts as being a hater or anything.
