Cyberpunk 2077 has been anticipated for close to a decade. CD Projekt Red enjoyed the hype and enthusiasm of millions, with promises of leaving the greed to others.

As early as January, they claimed the game was mostly done… and all it needed was polish… but now, after launch… as they entrench themselves into a cycle of anger and backlash… the game is being pulled from stores and refunded en masse.

This title will eventually be great… it is a flawed game with brilliance behind it… but the damage it has caused to their reputation will not soon be forgotten.

  1. Dunno, seems to me an overreaction.
    Looking at trailers for the past year, it was clear to me it would never run on past gen consoles. If anyone thought it would, they’re idiots.
    Reviewers not doing their job, same as usual, nothing new and no one here reads crap like ign or the verge or whatever.
    The game is less buggy than most at launch and has no microtransactions.
    The devs should have been honest, yes, but with as you say 8 years of development, they were probably running into debt.
    After your pre-order and insistence pre launch that CDPR is the only company you, UEG, would pre order from, it seems like you are taking their half arsed pre lunch promises a bit personally.
    Never buy a game at launch, it won’t be finished.
    Never pre order a game, it encourages this behaviour.
    Never believe reviewers, wait till there are Let’s play on YouTube.
    Following these rules would seem wise and lead to less stress.

  2. 2:46 When he took that deep breath and started that ad read, I thought it was the setup to a joke. I can't believe it's a real ad! I have NEVER seen a hair loss product sponsor on YouTube before. It feels kind of dirty. Those kind of ads are the most normie thing about TV and now they are in YouTube videos I watch. Ugh….😒

    I really need to start spending more time on bitchute. 😆

  3. There is no reality where the majority of console players would have switched to next gen systems by now. Even the very successful PS4 didn't really started selling until the second year of its lifetime. Only fans and hardcore players buy consoles at launch.

  4. You can't say anything about CDPR or 2077 otherwise the fan boys will ignore everything and jump to attack you. This is really all CDPR's fault, This long and so many delays yet they can't get a game right.

  6. I don't think a game developer has fallen from grace so fast. I was playing on ps5 and after like 20 crashes I just refunded it bc ik it will be a good while before it will be in a good state. I've decided I'll just wait until the next gen upgrade and some free dlc to be released to play it hopefully around March.

  7. From what I read, Sony pressured HelloGames into releasing No Man's Sky even though the team had told them it was not done and would need to be delayed, for up to a year. Sony said we don't care. I have since bought the game, and I now speak well of it for what it is and their hardwork to redeem it.

  9. sigh i take issues with this because i play it on PC and we are not having these problem. im not saying that pc does not experiance glitches but to this date the only problems I have had are bodies falling on a object and they cant be loot ( which i save and reload and boom body reloads and can be looted) 1 crash and a turret that some how was a access point which dropped me through the floor if i messed with it thats been it

  10. This pisses me off so much because even in its buggy glitched out state the environment mesmerized me. Its art, the way the machinery and holograms are integrated into people and environments. Im a fanboy of futurism and to finally see a game tackle it to this degree is a wet dream of mine. I hope they haul some executives to the chopping block for this.

  11. I feel like my experience of cyberpunk 2077 hasn't been that negative, even though i am a very critical and cynical person and almost always have more negative things to say about pretty much everything than most people. 2 main reasons. first reason is that i never really paid attention to the marketing, loosely know there's a project like this, didn't even know about the release date till they delayed it, didn't know anything except Keanu saying wake up samurai. second is that i've been warmed up for this kind of incompetent shitshow of a launch, earlier this year, Warcraft3 reforged broke world records for lowest rating. due to not delivering what they promised. and later i played mount and blade 2 bannerlord, which is a game that's been in development for 8 years, early releases at full price but is a buggy pile of crashing shit. compared to those 2, Cyberpunk 2077 is actually not that bad, but maybe because i have a decent PC. (although i had serious hardware problems due to poor optimization with pretty much every game this year at launch)

  12. Watch 30 min of this and then you'll know why I'm not even slightly disappointed in this game since all I expected was an expansion version of this game. Ruiner and that's what I got. Wouldn't mind some new cool cross overs of the alterd carbon ghost in the shell and then some altered carbon Easter eggs like never more hotel&poe. But I thought this was what we would get and it was so im not disappointed actually it surpassed my expectations. Ive only had 1 crash in total on xb1 seems to be able to handle it better I guess idk. My issue comes with the combat where I'm too low level n end up getting 1 hit killed after a bullet sponge.

  13. Been playing the game on my PC. Its been a lot of fun.
    I can see its a tough project but not a launch failure. Im not going to round it in with NMS, FO76, and Anthem. Even after watching this video twice, I still dont see how one could honestly lump this in with those launch failures.

  14. you all are bunch of tossers. your flat-lining CD PR even though the devs are angry too. DDPR is run like every other game/ game development company. big wigs at the top that dont listen and lie to their consumers and developers who care about the project they make but are forced to condense their time and efforts for an early release. dont be angry at the devs be angry at the management only then will this problem be solved. and before people reply to this i am referring to the comments that are trashing the company as a whole. they pushed it out early for Christmas big fucking surprise, never seen that done before have we?.

  15. Well I dont see this ridiculous amount of impossible hype to ever be a good thing! But cd red is different they're not perfect but their better than most. But I know unlike other companies that they'll make it right eventually. Unless tshtf 1st. Idk didn't the witcher3 also suffer from similar launch issues? Idk cuz I didn't play it till yr later

  16. This is so hypocritical, Sony showing how “consumer friendly” they are over the back of a (relatively) small Polish company! They could had done the same with true crap like Anthem, fifa 21 simply being fifa 20 with a 1 instead of a 0. Or what about No Man’s Sky or any Ubisoft game in general!??

    It is the entire world being bored and finding something to target to ease their frustrations over Covid19.

    I bought the One X Cyberpunk edition and the game plays fine on it. Yes some errors but did we all forget the state Witcher III arrived in on consoles? The game is now visually and especially gameplay and story wise a benchmark and a classic.

    Cyberpunk will be(come) the same. Just a little patience. I play now one storyline on One X and will play the other two storylines on PS5 once the patch is there and I’ll be able to obtain one and not having to pay three times the retail price to a scalper! Maybe THAT is something Sony should care about!

  17. I really, really hope that they do not now build this Cyberpunk 2077 online game before they have very solid CP2077 singleplayer game and fixed a lot of missing features. Otherwise there is grave danger that this online game will be making similar mistakes than Fallout 76.

  18. Everyone is talking about the technical state of the game, sure it is the most glaring one … but the actual gameplay is super mediocre, half of the gimmicks you will never use, the entire skill tree is only spam of multiplicative % stat increases = Super Extreme PowerCreep (Best Example: Diablo III) which makes any potential of "building" irrelevant and gunplay is really nothing special… no gameplay changing twists … NOTHING for true build variety. You will always fall in 2 or 3 effective builds that will always be the same… that is NOT RPG…

  19. I'm sorry, but this is just some echo-chamber bullshit. Was the console release sub-par? Relative to expectations, it sure was. Has the company directly owned up to that? Yes. Have they offered refunds and a commitment to make it better? Yes. Do we need yet ANOTHER Reddit style pile-on-video for sheeple to copy-comment each other into a frenzy with? No.
