I did my part with the GOG version, even with my old PC I can run the game 2K/30 with medium settings, and I love so much the atmosphere and art design. And of course the game has its share of bugs, some gameplay issues (minimap zoom and the vehicle handling) but I find the combat and exploration loop with the skills and RPG systems good...



Probably a lot of people will dismiss CP2077 as a bad GTA clone, but for me is a incredible inmersive sim with the great storytelling of CD Projekt.

I'm on the same boat, man... I stayed away from much of the press for the game and once I started playing and noticing the similarities to Deus Ex, Dishonored and Prey I immediately fell in love. The game has so much content for those that are willing (interested?) in playing around with the different builds and etc...

It really is a game for those that enjoy tabletop RPG's and the flexibility they offer.

 

[Vlodril]

One of the best games last year. Hopefully it will keep selling and they release the expansions ( i am waiting those for my second playthrough).

All those games are my all time favorites, and I love so much the genre. And indeed when you try with different builds to tackle the encounters it is very rewarding, I think they nailed to translate the tabletop RPG feeling to a FPS.

I picked up the game again after playing for 70+ hours when the game came out back in December, before any patches. I was just screwing around, learning about the perks and the builds. Didn't get very far: never really did much outside Watson...

Workload really increased for the first few months of the year and I like to sink into games like these for hours on end, so I stuck with shorter session games like Hitman 3... Things cooled off at work just in time for patch 1.2 and I started my real run on PS4 Pro.

Ended up making a stealth Solo because I wanted to play on Hard from the get go and was afraid to get massacred in the gunfights during the early game... So much fun!

 

[SupremeHoodie]

Atleast now we know MS is good for something

What are you two talking about?

 

[GeorgPrime]

I will get it again after a few more updates maybe i can get it on my Gaming Laptop now then i can hopefully add some mod support to it.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Is this real or no?

I'm guessing no.

 

[Magnific0giganticus]

And very likely half of them were refunded.

 

[base]

For lying about the game - fuck you CDPR!

 

[Yoboman]

A lot of that success can be thanked on the quality of Witcher 3

Sinilarly they will struggle to recapture that momentum with whatever their next game is after leaving so many disappointed

 

[harmny]

lol you missed this
"(factoring in returns in brick-and-mortar as well as digital storefronts)"

Nah they must have done their math wrong lol

 

[Krizalidx11]

And it's a broken game, wait till they fix it this year the sales will go up by 200%

 

[Eric187]

And it's a broken game, wait till they fix it this year the sales will go up by 200%

200% of 13 million? Damn!

 

[harmny]

30k refunds. that's what they said in their conference call. 30k of 13.7M copies hahahahaha. if you wonder why CoD sells 20M copies every year even though everyone on gaf and reddit hates the game there you have your answer. internet vocal haters are NOTHING. they don't move the needle. they just cry online while everyone else is actually playing the games.

 

[MrS]

Will never buy this piece of shit

 

[harmny]

please buy it or they'll probably go bankrupt. you are literally the market.

Lies, lies.. 30k pff bullshit

 

[Krizalidx11]

Yeah, think of how many copies this game would have sold in 2029, check on Skyrim and how long that game was selling good

 

[harmny]

Lies, lies.. 30k pff bullshit

sue them. they are a publicly traded company they can't lie about their numbers.

 

[Denton]

GOTY 2020 sells a lot of copies and refunders are tiny percentage, news at eleven

 

[Flabagast]

200% of 13 million? Damn!

Witcher 3 has passed 30 million and its initial sales were significantly lower. In its case it is more 300 or 400% we are talking at all.

We do not know yet if CP2077 will have any legs going forwards, but if CDPR manages to turn the wheel around it is definitely achievable.

^This is very true

But the vocal gamers online are responsible for some of the big actions made by these companies like when Xbox reversed the decision to increase the price of Xbox live or when Sony was going to get rid of the ps3 and ps vita stores.

I think that what CDPR did with Cyberpunk was a straight scam. They made the game seems bigger than it really ended up being and then lied about the performance of the game on current gen and used reviewers to help push the lie. They are going to have to work overtime to regain the trust they loss.

They might have made profits from cyberpunk but it’s going to be a uphill battle for them going forward.

 

[MrS]

Your loss, you're missing out on a magnificent game.

So magnificent it's banned on PSN...

There's no way that 30k refund number is true either

 

[Raphael]

Is this real or no?

I'm guessing no.

Its real lol. It was more of a chuckle

 

[base]

sue them. they are a publicly traded company they can't lie about their numbers.

This game is not playable on the last gen consoles. They sold millions of copies on the consoles. Were people that stupid to play it in 10 fps with so many glitches then?

 

[base]

sue them. they are a publicly traded company they can't lie about their numbers.

Are you one of their employees or what? They have lied about the game's performance. "it worked fine when we tested it". FUCK THEM

 

[Null Persp]

Great news, now bring on the expansions.

true. but you are missing an important part there.

people talk about how it was a scam, a lie but they forget to mention they offered refunds to every single human being that wasn't happy with the game (even people that already beat the game) and just 30k refunded it. that means that the other 13.670.000 players didn't think it was that big of a deal. either they were happy with the game or at least the issue was not serious enough to ask for their money back.

usually when you get scammed you don't have the possibility to get your money back... or the actual "scammer" offering you a no questions asked refund lol

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Total budget 1.3bn PLN to make ($340m)

+10000 bugs and glitches.

 

[Mozzarella]

I just hope this can improve GOG store because its really good. Also looking forward for the DLCs, despites its many problems i had fun with my time. But as others said this early success is thanks to their reputation from Witcher 3.

 

[Roni]

Do you even care why it's not on PSN or would you rather just use the fact in isolation to help comfort yourself?

And, as stated: there's a lot of money to be made if you think they're lying about the 30k refunds. Fiduciary duty and all that... Put the money where your mouth is.

 

[vodka-bull]

And yet I can‘t buy it on PSN. What a joke gamers are. As a company, as long as you push enough PR before any release, you‘ll make millions, because gamers are too stupid and fragile to boycott anything, no matter how bad the endproduct turns out to be.

 

[harmny]

stupid? no. i'd say happy enough with the game to not ask for refund.

Are you one of their employees or what? They have lied about the game's performance. "it worked fine when we tested it". FUCK THEM

those are not numbers. see how i said they can't lie about numbers. however, they got sued for that statement

 

[brian0057]

Whenever I get the urge to take a dump on the greedy corporations hell bent on destroying this industry, news like this come out and remind me why the consumers are just as guilty and the urge goes away.

 

[nowhat]

sue them. they are a publicly traded company they can't lie about their numbers.

...but they sure can lie to both their investors and customers before release, apparently.

 

[Monkeygourmet]

This game was absolute dog shit - got my refund quick sharp and it wasn’t because of the bugs

 

[harmny]

...but they sure can lie to both their investors and customers before release, apparently.

not about the actual numbers

 

[JayK47]

Impressive considering all of the hate the game was getting. I had issues with it, but most of it was due to high expectations going into it. I do wish it was better, but I also did get enjoyment from it until the lame ending. I rarely play games right when they come out, so it was fun to be able to enjoy the game alongside others and discuss it rather than posting about it years after everybody else is done playing it, which is how I usually roll.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

A garbage game that'll go to the sewers of gaming history. Also aren't those PS4 games refunded?

 

[Eric187]

So magnificent it's banned on PSN...

Nah man it’s definitely a good game. I was, and still am disappointed by the total package but that’s mainly to the hype that preceded it but was definitely IMO one of the best games last year. With that said I’m playing on a PS5 after initially playing on a PS4 pro. Had they waited a year and released it this November instead of last december would of been in a much better state though. Hopefully they’ve learned that lesson.

 

[TheMan]

No doubt the initial sales out of the gate were phenomenal. I'm more interested in what the tail looks like. Also will be interesting to see how they next game does. I personally had a good time with the PC version but all things considered i think CDPR massively fucked themselves going forward.

Why are you so happy about? They have literally lied about the game and have fucked their customers in the ass. Such behavior should be punishable. Now they don't give a fuck about fixing their own game cause 'hey, we sold alot of them to you, losers'.

how is offering a refund no questions asked even to people that beat the game fucking their customers in the ass? and they do give a fuck about fixing their own game that's why they are well... fixing the game

such a cdpr fanboy/stooge. i hope they're paying you - what a sad existence you'd be living if you were doing this for free or, even worse, if you actually believed the bullshit you post. have a day off.

 

[eastcoastkody]

everytime i think about getting it, i read up on it...and get turned off by ppl complaining about braindead open world A.I, NPCs, Cops and just a boring open world in general. Which is one of the main reasons i wanted to get it.
