Imagine doing your job, and acting halfway professional...
A novel concept for video game devs, I know.

There is a lot one can shit on when it comes to Ubisoft games but their games usually work fairly well at launch. Cyberpunk 2077 was a fucking disaster on a technical level and also in terms of broken promises when it came to gameplay (they made the stupid decision to advertise Cyberpunk 2077 as some sort of GTA-like, which it never was, and people got rightfully upset when it lacked features and when the gameplay loop was different...). And then it took a year and essentially a soft relaunch with Phantom Liberty to get the game where it should've been at launch.
So I would be really fucking quite right about now if I were CDPR. Cyberpunk 2077 sure as hell was also a "AAAA" game.

It’s obvious to anyone that played it that the open world is an Ubisoft clone. The map is littered with actives that are copy and paste and generic like Ubisoft games have been since Far Cry 3.
You still can’t explain why the game is good. You’re just establishing how upset you are.

Wow, the map is littered with icons. This makes it a Ubisoft clone...not only did GTA do this shit way before Ubisoft, but that's been true of open-world games since the days before their first crack at it. Once again, incorrect.
I don't care about explaining why the game is amazing or not. You have the right not to like it. Just don't spew incorrect information about it.

I don’t question if you have played either franchise at this point, but whether you understand video games at all.

Exactly. I’d argue that Ubisoft copy and paste activities are more engaging since their gameplay is more enjoyable.
i know you don’t because you don’t have an argument. You’re only deflecting. RIP

Elaborate because this comes across as deflection.

No, I addressed it and you decided to ignore it. GTA did this before Ubisoft. Over a decade before in fact.

No you didn’t. You’ve only established that you’re upset.

And you’ve established that you’re a troll by ignoring it again. Thank you for conceding. Take the L and enjoy it.
Next time, learn to string two sentences together properly. Maybe we won’t laugh at you.

Not agreeing with you does not equal trolling. I understand that you’re upset that I changed you, but you have to establish why games are “good” when criticism is leveled. All you’re doing is shucking and jiving,

You have made the most coherent argument for Witcher 3 in this thread. Thank you.

Never said The Witcher 3 is good lol. I said it isn’t a Ubisoft clone by correctly throwing your idiotic "argument" back at you by pointing out that your definition of Ubisoft clone was started by GTA way back in 2001.
Your definition of what makes a Ubisoft clone was written by a simpleton and there was no substance to it. "Icons on the map." Lol. Again, check VC or GTA III.
But by now I realize you ain’t exactly sharp so I’ll leave it at that.

So you’re wasting your time over nothing. You agree the game is bad but calling it an Ubisoft clone really irks you. That’s really weird.

Its somewhere between shit and amazing.
Great for first 30 hrs when you are enjoying music and scenery is new to you.
A slog after that. Just like most modern Ubi games.

Kinda. Yeah. It has moments where you think it’s going to be great, and then you have your hundredth drawn out conversation followed by bad combat and uninteresting Ubisoft open world checkbox fluff. It’s even worse when you have to engage in the god awful boss mechanics.

Dungeon crawling is shockingly bad for an RPG of this type. Simple levels, either a laborious fight or use of witcher senses to find something.
Also character development is weird as hell. You cannot max out both light attack and heavy attack, else you will miss out on tons of useful stuff. Which means one type of attack you will never use throughout the game.
Very amateurish.

Dear CD Project RED, wake the fuck up, you are not in 2015 anymore. After the total trainwreck that was Cyberpunk 2077, your best bet for remaining relevant as a developer is to just stay quiet and try to redeem yourself with an actually solid game next time.

It seems with social media people’s attention span is minimal, that goes for both employees and fans.
I still remember when at I think an E3 they interviewed the lead devs asking if it'll be ready for the planned release date (it was not) and the dev had this incredulous look of "the fuck they just say to me?"
Didn't have an issue with the game myself as I was lucky to have a decent spec and today it's fucking great but uh yeah, CDPR seems humility was not learned and you need to back your shit up before you talk.
Ah yes it was Miles Tost, timestamped 34:42

To be fair, you also didn't have very strong arguments. Your best was: looked, but couldn't find.

Hence my previous post. Doesn’t seem like the dude had much in the way of knowledge of the industry, history of other games, or self introspection.
Best to just place him on ignore and discuss with people who don’t act like CDPR pissed in their cereal.

It isn't really a "beef" as much as an offhanded comment on how dumb the idea of "AAAA" is and the quality it can supposedly provide. Skull and Bones was a failure in every sense of the word. CDPR making an offhanded joke about how they will try to make "AAAAA" games is just that: a joke. Not a serious suggestion or something they are actively going to do.
