Support NeoGAF

[Illo]

It has no impact on existing owners who don't wish to refund the game.

I meant people who would want to buy the game still digitally. Not to mention I'm sure there are a lot of digital PS5's under someone's Christmas tree (or a scalpers warehouse somewhere).

Nonethess, I hope this opens topics of certifications and how shit Sony and Xbox have been allowing such a broken game pass on the promise of patches.

 

[Hendrick's]

Can I finally get a refund for Anthem too?

 

[FrankWza]

what are you talking about exactly? have you even see the console versions? the fps goes down to 15 fps lol

i loved The Witcher 3 and i played it on PC btw not PS4, so not sure what are you trying to defend here? what they did with the console versions was a scam, why didn't they show footage from it and showed only PC footage and didn't allow reviewers to show console footage? have you seen the meta-critic for PS4 and Xbox versions?

And as far as I've seen, it's gotta be a pretty high end PC to run this issue-free.

 

[diablos991]

Holy shit. It must be very rough on consoles.
Game has been fantastic on PC.

 

[M1chl]

If the Xbox is crashing as much as the PS5 does then yes it's a dysfunctional product

Xbox had those 0FPS pauses instead of crashes, which were ironed out with 1.0.4.0...that's not to say that there are not millions of other stability issues, tho.

 

[Neo Blaster]

Aren't the next gen version better in terms of stability? Or maybe next gen is just as buggy.

What they could do is keep the next gen versions alive on PSN.

Oh well. That's what happens when game companies need to hit that Christmas rush, and combined with probably 90% of gamers hooked up to the net. The good old..... "don't worry gamers, just download the patch"

There are no next gen versions yet, just PS4 and Xbox One versions.

 

[elektrokats]

These big companies are not your friend, people. It is all about money and appealment.

 

[CartoonsNCereal]

Why should anyone give them slack for delibertly hiding how bad the consoles ran?

And no W3 was nowhere near this bad

careful who you are arguing with, VFX is a beast.


fair warning. come correct

 

[luffie]

Great news, hope Cdpr learns from this lesson, otherwise they will continue lying even for cp2077 multiplayer.

Lesson: It's always better to be honest and fix the issue than lie and push through.

[Neo Blaster]

So who's gonna make a thread about "Microsoft are going to announce The Acquisition of CDPR next Thursday"

Or 'Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to Gamepass(Xbox only)'.

Can I finally get a refund for Anthem too?

 

[bxrz]

"Hi there. We saw how your game ran at launch, and we thought 'boy, wouldn't those guys be a GREAT fit for Crackdown 4'!"...

They saved Bethesda after Fallout 76. And that game is much worse than CP2077.

CP2077 is a good game ruined by bad greedy management decisions. Those devs are still talented

 

[Hugare]

I'm so excited to read the next transcript of the shareholders call lol

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

Sony to CDPR: 'next time you talk about refunds, talk to us first'.

Sony to CDPR: I heard you did a charge back

amusingly enough the pushing mods on consoles would probably save them from this level of backlash.

...that said PS4 mods are pretty mediocre compared to Xbone.

[ArtHands]

Don't care, the devs should suffer for making such a game that plays badly.

Nah, we shouldn't get dragged down along with the PS version.

Driveclub: the car crash that Sony must clear up

Three weeks after launch, the online functionality behind one of PlayStation 4’s biggest releases is still down – and the players are angry. By Joao Diniz Sanches

www.theguardian.com

Looks like the servers couldn't cope with the large player base.

That's in stark contrast to the laundry list of issues facing Cyberpunk which range from consistent framerates in the teens on base consoles, frequent game crashes, to numerous open world bugs and gamebreaking jank that make the game literally unplayable.

 

[ethomaz]

Sony the evil anti-consumer strikes an amazing goal again.

Perfect decision.

If the SP is in this bad shape, just imagine what the MP will be.

 

[VFXVeteran]

Why should anyone give them slack for delibertly hiding how bad the consoles ran?

Because everyone deserves a chance? Especially companies that won Game of the decade on NeoGAF? We've had companies hide shit from consumers all the time. it's nothing new.

And no W3 was no where near this bad

It doesn't matter the scale of how bad the port is. People cried like it was the end of the world just the same. I was in those silly threads about the bog slow down and people crucifying CDPR then. Not to mention all the other AAA companies like Dice, Ubisoft, and EA... there just seems to be this overreaction to buggy state games from AAA titles. They don't get anywhere near the forgiveness as 1st party titles or Indie games.

 

[IntentionalPun]

CP2077 is a good game ruined by bad greedy management. Those devs are still talented

Fallout 76 is awesome now.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

No more than it is on any other console. And certainly not compared to the base PS4 version.

Uh?

PS5 has vastly lowered NPC count, awful shadow/texture quality and runs with dips at 1188p.

As DF said, for this game, it's PC > Series X > Series S > Stadia > PS5

It's not the hardware's fault though, this is clearly on CDPR.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

fair warning. come correct

He's a joke we've all trolled his ass for the nonsense he spouts.

 

[bitbydeath]

I hope they didn't pay too much for their reviews. CDPR going to be swimming in debt .

 

[Investor9872]

Works for me, to be honest. I already got No Man Sky'd, and I've never known a CDPR game (been playin since the first Witcher on PC) to be stable on release. I was gonna wait a few months anyway. Now it looks like the early-adopter outrage will force them to make it a better game that I'll easily be able to buy at a discount when I feel like it.

You are going to have to wait a hell of a lot more than just a few months before CDPR can fix CP 2077, if it can be fixed on the PS4 and XB One even.

 

[Punished Miku]

What I'm saying is that you are showing way too much hate for the company that screwed up by releasing the unfinished console versions. Surely they will fix it just like they did W3 (yea, I remember all the whining back then too). Instead of crucifying them to no end, why not give them a chance to fix their mistake before putting final judgement on them. Their rep being ruined forever? Really??

I don't know if they will fix the base console versions. There was supposedly that leaked investor meeting that said that they're going to try and stop the crashes and that's about it. And lots of the staff will be off until February.

They'll work on the next gen versions more I'm sure.

 

[Hawk269]

I might request a refund, I'm at the last mission anyway, let's try and play the system!

Takes a shitty person to get that much game out of it and take advantage of the situation and get a refund. But you do you....if you got to the last mission, you got your money's worth out of the game. Asking for a refund at that point is just scummy...but if you feel that is what you need to do go for it.

 

[Larlight]

Sony has so many woke retarded people working for them

They didn't remove ark or no man sky from psn

No man's sky wasn't broken though. It was just lacking promised content that released eventually over time.

Also, how is this a "woke" move? This is more like Sony being pressured to do it after CDPR promised people they would get refunds through their digital store even though they didn't consult with Sony reps about giving refunds. So, when Sony customer service denied refunds, it made them look like the bad guy. Sony probably isn't happy about the bad PR especially since they aren't even the platform with the marketing rights to it lmao.

 

[VFXVeteran]

I don't know if they will fix the base console versions. There was supposedly that leaked investor meeting that said that they're going to try and stop the crashes and that's about it. And lots of the staff will be off until February.

They specifically said they would fix the last gen versions with bug fixes and general appearance. I don't have any reason to doubt what they say. They fixed W3 just the same.

[Craig of War]

Wow of all the Game companies never in a million years would any thought that CDPR would be the 1 that this happen too wow not even Anthem or Fallout 76 was this bad that got it remove from a major Game console store wow.

 

[Portugeezer]

Holy shit. It must be very rough on consoles.
Game has been fantastic on PC.

Where have you been. Yes, it's terrible on console.

 

[CartoonsNCereal]

hm, not what i've seen. I'm sure whenever he responds, if he does it'll be a decent counter point.

but you have to actually argue asswhoopin don't be all dodgy and weird.

i feel like seeing a good fight.

 

[Kingsora]

I hope they didn't pay too much for their reviews. CDPR going to be swimming in debt .

They probably already sold at least 10 million copies if not more, even if they lose 1 million copies with this action they'll be just fine. I however don't want to sit in their management right now.

 

[PhillyPhreak11]

It's a faulty product on PS5 too.

Definitely. In the two weeks that I've had the game, it crashed my PS5 twice. It crashed and booted me back to the system menu 3 times.

I'll keep my digital copy, but I won't touch it again until they release a proper next gen version.

 

[Punished Miku]

Yeah, there was a lot of 8's and 9's out there

 

[Yselacrey00]

Didn't sony approve this game for sale on their console in the first place. Lawsuits will probably be in the works now from one or both parties if they aren't already.

Exactly, they're trying to shift blame to CDPR and only CDPR.

Generally speaking, you don't fuck around with Sony.

lol, Sony are part of it.

Wow!!! Just saw this.
Have this ever happened before with a Hyped AAA Game?

 

[ShadowWolf712]

I mean it's ready if your hardware can run it. PC and Series X run it fine.

 

[CartoonsNCereal]

damn you must be the beast of beats then.

I hope this is satire or something. Cause wow.

shits way too pathetic not to be. it's got that troll craftsman's touch

Whatever overeactions people had with W3 is unequivocal to the scum move CDPR pulled with this game

They sold a broken product and tried their best to hide it. That is top tier scum practice. No, not even the big pubs tried to pull that bs

 

[ShadowWolf712]

They should have just made it a PC exclusive. It was their vision from the beginning. Porting to consoles has caused all of this backlash. Maybe they have enough money in their coffers to make the next one PC-only.

At this point I refuse to believe you're not a 14-year-old on his dad's account.

 

[GermanZepp]

I

Even No Man Sky did not get booted from the store. Let that sink in guys..

i can bet your ass consumer rights in europe gave some interesting phone calls to SONY HQ

Not quite the same, I played no man's sky at launch I even get the platinum, and while lots of things that they promised didn't show up in the game, and certainly didn't live to the hype. it wasn't a bug fest. I remember a very clean experience.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

New Xbox starting off strong! They got Cyberpunk2077 console exclusive!....
