Cultured Vultures: Cyberpunk 2077's buggy launch has disappointed lots of players, so Ash unintentionally showed solidarity with them by playing through Mafia 3.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
Source code for CD Projekt's action role-playing games The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 have allegedly been compromised.
Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.
But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.
But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.
I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.
And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.
Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅
This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.
They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.
After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
Cyberpunk 2077's launch resulted in a loss of goodwill with gamers, but there is a way to earn it back with the upcoming sequel.
They will need to add everything they promised in the first one and not over promise on the second one.
They also need to drop esg then hire employees that have knowledge not hire them because they have a set of tits.
Official video they hired people to fill the esg clipboard
As somebody who has been playing the tabletop games since the 90s and was let down on launch by my PS4 version, you can bet I'm not going the preorder any sequel.
3rd person option, and everything else that was originally promised. Next don't force agenda driven naratives. Finally, release a finished product without need for day one patches.
Yeah, I really tried to enjoy Cyberpunk, but man I can't help but be dissaponted in the whole thing. Playing on consoles is such a kick in the teeth because the makings of a great game is buried deep in there somewhere.
Anyway, I've officially abandoned Cyberpunk and I've been playing 13 Sentinels. FIrst time I've played a game like it, and so far I'm really enjoying it. Much more than I did Cyberpunk 2077 anyway.
I had the same issues playing Mafia 3, not so much with the glitches, but the repetitious mission gameplay. I put it down after about 8 hours and haven't been back. I did enjoy the story and now that I have been reminded of it, I'll probably give it another chance.
As far as CP2077 goes, I am playing on a Xbox One X and haven't run into many issues yet. I tend to play games pretty slowly, so they may just be patching bugs before I run into them, but so far it has been a fun game. A bit tough to get into as it's a bit overwhelming, but I'm starting to get into the flow now that I have completed the prologue.
I think that this is an extremely "deep" game with much to discover. Unfortunately it seems that they just ran out of time and had to make compromises in both content and gameplay. I am just hanging onto the fact that this is much how Witcher 3 went to, and that eventually developed into one of my all time favorite games. Give it another 6 months and I think it will be a very good to great game. Obviously it will always play much better on high end PC's and next gen consoles. If you are running a base console and plan on upgrading, you will probably want to wait to buy this. Remember this isn't even the final game for next gen, it is just playing the old version on older hardware. When the optimized version launches in a couple of months, it will be time to judge the next gen version.
This is a lesson about preordering games. I almost never do it anymore, there really is no reason, it's not like there are a shortage of games available with digital downloads available. Preorders are a dinosaur from the past, but 8 million people plopped their money down early. I don't know, maybe have a tiny bit of patience and wait to see how things shake out a launch? What other things are we willing to put down money for months in advance for a promised but ultimately unknown product?
I'm not letting CDPR off the hook for this, but as a consumer you have to take a little bit of responsibility to protect yourself. While everyone likes to say CDPR is consumer friendly, etc., which I think for the most part is true, they are a publicly owned company whose first responsibility is to their share holders. Now as it turns out, this cluster of a launch hurt the shareholders as well, and they are pissed to the point they are filing a lawsuit, so this worked out for nobody, but they were attempting to satisfy shareholders by not delaying...again.
Remember, as a company, CDPR is not a very experienced AAA developer. They had a big and somewhat supprising hit with Witcher 3, and now they are playing with the big boys, EA, Ubisoft, Sony, MS, etc., companies with massive staff, management and experience. Even with all of the experience the big boys have, they frequently screw up as badly as CDPR. The good thing is that I think they really care about their reputation and will really try to right this ship. Will it satisfy everyone? Of course not, nothing ever does, but I'm hopeful.
I played this instead again: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, love that game.
I deleted it from my PS5, gonna do a new playthrough when the game gets fixed (hopefully by this summer).
Both of these are fantastic games. Too bad the world is full of superficial gonks. "I'd rather a shit idea well-expressed, than astounding, sick concepts with technical issues" - everyone [about both Cyberpunk and Mafia iii].
