I'm in a weird boat, i had a pc pre order, but cancelled it for a (newly purchased) ps4 pro preorder, thinking it would play smoother.. lol, i got it in Japan, so my cd came heavily censored, and (until it gets patched) it's famously inconsistent.. I'm starting to regret cancelling my gog pre-orderYou need some balance. It somewhere between exaggerate and serious issue. It sucks for the last gen users and some has really high expectations. (I'm having a blast on PC (90 hours plus) despite have some oddities need to restart)
One and done.Typical Internet circle jerk
No big publisher resources
I don't remember any of those games, except for Batman on PC, to be completely unplayable to the point you can't even start the game, and when you do it looks like a ps1 game.The backlash for the console versions and how they have hidden it is justified. No sympathy from me, that was a moronic thing to do and I hope they learn from this. Management needs to change, someone or all of them need to go. This pretty much tarnished if not totally ruined their really good name.
The backlash the game gets in general is typical internet circle jerk, as Ninja in post #2 already said. It's buggy, yeah, but that goes with most open world multi plats and this isn't the first time that a game launched in a broken state. No Man's Sky was a disaster on all fronts (constant crashes, bugs and bad performance everywhere), Batman Arkham Knight on PC, Final Fantasy XIV which also needed a relaunch, Fallout 76... look at Battlefield 4, WWE 2k20 or Assassins Creed Unity.
When I think further back... man Gothic 3 was a disaster at launch as well.
Shit like this happens, it sucks and it shouldn't happen, but it does... and I also blame Sony and MS here, they have a certification system. They shouldn't blindly trust developers.
Plenty of Playstation owners were huge fans of Witcher 3, which sold wonderfully on the PS4, so it only follows they'd be pissed by CPDR's lies and the state of CP2077 on the Playstation family of consoles.
you also know they aren't cowards and will admit their fuck ups. it's painful but it's also an honest way to deal with a bad situation, and will help build confidence in the future. imagine if they refused refunds, like Bethesda did? yes contrast this to Fallout 76 sending snarky messages to banned users and wanting them to write an essay apologizing. CDPR is handling this crisis better than most.When you have the developers themselves asking Sony to delist the game, they know they fucked up
i mean we could blame Microsoft and Sony for allowing a broken game to be sold on their stores in the first place? at least a little bit? no?On the other hand CDPR have no one but themselves to blame for this

fine, blame CDPR entirely, nobody else did anything wrong. they forced Microsoft to sell their game at gunpoint /S
Guess I was smart enought to not buy it on last gen hardware but on PC (where this game belongs imo). Sure there's some weird bugs that remind me of 1999 (floating objects, bike stuck in the ground, stuff I can't pick up), the NPCs seem pretty stupid and there's not much interaction with the world, but nothing gamebreaking, and it looks great.
I don't know, but there is a Bandai Namco logo on the box.
This whole mess is self-inflicted. If they delayed even just the console versions, then this mess would be avoided.you also know they aren't cowards and will admit their fuck ups. it's painful but it's also an honest way to deal with a bad situation, and will help build confidence in the future. imagine if they refused refunds, like Bethesda did? yes contrast this to Fallout 76 sending snarky messages to banned users and wanting them to write an essay apologizing.

Have you actually seen anyone argue against this? (I assume you mean PS4/XB1)Sony, Microsoft and BestBuy allowing for unquestioned returns within a day of one another is a good indicator that the game was not ready for release.
