At least they didn't abandon it. The game was great on PC(v1.4, v1.6) apart from some minor bugs(NOT game breaking bugs).
It doesn’t change the fact that they over promised and under delivered and still raked in pre orders.
Until consumers figure out how to be patient, this is a trend in gaming that is going to continue. To NOT criticize it at every opportunity is doing yourself and every other gaming enthusiast a huge disservice.
That's why I always buy after release and usually wait for some discounts. But I plan to buy BG3 even if it's not discounted at the winter sale but I think it is pretty obvious that this game is pretty good already.

It was a good game, just it fell well short of expectations. When you compare the little systems that contribute to games by R* like rdr2 / gta5 feeling so detailed and alive, it felt a bit barren, despite all the gorgeous backdrop and cool abilities.
"mile wide, inch deep" would be how I described it. The story was excellent but the gameplay loop imo needed some work.
Have you played the new version / dlc yet (I've not so pls no spoilery spoilers)?
In fairness, I hated rdr2 and don't really like the gta games because they're a bit too much "violent life simulator" vs "game" for me.
As such, the only thing I hated about CP2077 was the bugs, crashes, and balance issues. Admittedly, I loved how cheap I got it because I bought it during the early reputation crash. It was unplayable for a few weeks, but for $17? Damn.

Here are the wheels to the car you bought 3 years ago.
Uhhh I seriously doubt it’s even close to what they said it was going to be
No it's not. I mean I like the game that it is and even had fun at launch but I will always be a little salty that it will never be what they said it would be.
No, but I find it’s fun. Looks great and I love the genre
I did a complete playthrough on release and still had fun. The game is still buggy, but it's definitely better than it was and I've had a good time on my second playthrough.
Fans must feel honored for the chance to beta test the game for a year after paying 60 for it.
Good thing I haven't played more than a few hours yet. Imma give this another shot over the holidays I think.

3 years after release, here's a finished product
Lmao the absolute state of the gaming industry
They should have called it the 2080 edition.
Is this game any fun?
If you like shooters and cyberpunk stories: Yes.
The shooting is great, the world is cool as fuck to explore, and the story is on point for the genre.
If you don't like shooters or cyberpunk/sci-fi as a genre it probably won't change your mind. The gameplay isn't mind-blowing; it's pretty average though the combat somewhat reminds me of Dishonored except without teleportation and time manipulation other than bullet time. The story is mostly well-written, but there's one jarring plot hole about half-way through the main story, and the pacing is a little weird when it comes to interacting with Johnny because of the open-world nature; the dialogue, though, is good throughout.
As an RPG it's very light. You have choices, and they matter and some of those choices you make by leaving dialogue and just doing something (like shooting a machine or just leaving the area). But you don't get these all the time, and when you do you have like 3 or 4 options. The skill tree is big, but it's also a mess (even now after it's been reworked twice.) I always find myself overwhelmed by how many options there are, but underwhelmed by what they actually give.
What's the plot hole again? It's been a while since I played.
yup
Yeah, it's really fun. If it worked for you on release, it was fun then too, with some issues. Now? Absolutely a blast.
I went in completely blind, knowing just the name and it's a future shooter. It's cool, I did side quests as they became available (ignoring storyline) and I think that's the best way to do it, vs story first then side.
I'm disabled so played with a mouse only (kb for menus etc). I had a good time start to finish, and I only fucked up one side-quests (kinda mission design, kinda being an idiot). I haven't played in a couple years, want to see what the new content is, just been hooked on other games.
I know the game "fell short" of hype but idc because I was interested and very very intentionally ignored all the hype bullshit. I feel I got my money's worth, and enjoyed everything so far (story complete, all side as of 2y ago).

Is there any difference between the ultimate edition and just having the game+DLC?
Update 2.1 for the game and the DLC is the ultimate edition. So if you are on the new patch you have the same content.
No
Yeah and you almost lost your entire company trying to please shareholders that don't even know what industry you're in.
Next time, finish your game, then release it. I promise you, if you put out a game on the same level of polish as BG3, your stock will go up.
The requirements increased too right? Are there any benchmarks for New Cyberpunk?
