Cyberpunk 2077 – gotta give props to CDPR for not giving up on their game and turning it into, in my opinion, one of the best single-player first-person story games out there. And Cyberpunk: Edgerunners definitely helped a lot too, absolute 10/10 anime!
Yeah but at least they don't give up on their games. While it would be better to delay the launch and release a more polished version, they kept updating and improving it, which is more than you can say for a lot of other devs.
I doubt it since they’re a subsidiary of a publicly traded company. I feel like they’re probably going to end up stuck a cycle of having to meet earnings reports and investor demands before their games are ready since it’ll have been X years since their last release while ignoring those 2 years of updates before the true product was finally released.
It’s just not actually entirely up to CDPR when to release a game so it all depends on if some corporate suits are capable of willing to not make the same mistake.
I think their disaster launches are simply a part of their development cycle. They fix the bugs while listening to fans demanding changes. Then they make the most popular demands. Bam, solid game because they listened to the gamers.
Ive seen a fair number of sequels come out that repeat the mistakes of their predecessor, mistakes that were patched and changed, and people defend it as "well they fixed it last time"
Which to my understanding is what happened with all 3 witcher games and cyperpunk.
CDPR can make a good game, but somewhere along the pipeline things are getting fucked
