It's interesting to see how Cyberpunk 2077 is actually selling really well still. Looks like it worked out well for CDPR eventually.

It sold 18 million copies within a few months of launch. It worked out immediately.
Yea the team really loves this game, they made it good
I mean, it's a great game. Sure, it was published in a far too buggy state, but story and gameplay wise it is fantastic
I actually just bought it for Xbox Series X about a month ago and I’ve been having a blast! Yeah it’s got glitches lol no shit but they’re not that awful at least on xbox but I heard they’re worse on PC
Which rockstar game had a bad release?
The GTA trilogy "definitive edition". Complete disaster lol. I haven't kept up to see if they've gotten better but it was really bad on release
Ah forgot about that one. Kind of ereased it from memory.
They didn’t fix it, it’s still bad and not worth it.
They just took a crappy 3rd-party mobile remaster and made it runnable on PC.
Oh no. They gave the task of remastering 3 big games running on old ass software full of hacked together code, within like 2-3 years, to a tiny studio of like 20 people that only ever made mobile games before. It was set up to fail. It's like asking your crackhead cousin to redo your bathroom and you come home to find he's ripped out all the copper pipes for beer money.
At least they've seen to have learned their lesson. The much smaller task of doing a basic port for RDR1 for Playstation and Switch was given to an actually decent sized development studio (Double Eleven). Lot of people got mad it wasn't a remaster or something, but it is a perfectly fine port and you get the full RDR1 experience on a Switch
Oh crap, that's even worse!
Meanwhile like a dragon gaiden just dropped and its really fun go play it if you're looking to play a fun, modern game that isn't greedy bs
Doesn't it have Denuvo, though?
Yes, publisher bad. Dev team really, really good tho. There are some Yakuza games on GOG tho which are really good as well. Just not the newest ones at the moment. I think 0-6 is on GOG but idk
YUP! It was all in one package. I've been buying them all as SEGA pulls Denuvo, and then rebought the collection on GoG.
I'm glad Denuvo costs so much money for each month you have it in a game. That way it's the logical conclusion to eventually just patch it out of the game. Well, unless those games are Persona I guess. But I refuse to buy Denuvo infested crap, I will stay strong.
I feel like in the last few years, Japanese publishers have been atoning for a lot of their early-2000's sins (except Square Enix and Konami who seem to have doubled down)
