This is exactly what they said about the OG game and they even spoofed a gameplay trailer to lie about it.
Cool, now it's just 8 years of waiting for release and then just 4 more until they make it playable
Which validates the point that buying a game on pre-sale or Day 1 is a terrible idea.
With PC reviews pretty much lying about the game's performance and CDPR not allowing console reviews prior to launch, i was misled into buying it on PC day 1. IGN gave it a 9/10 and most other big reviewers werent far off.
It was pretty much a coordinated false advertisement until CDPR could get their hype money... I mean yeah they fixed it but it did take 4 years and i did already get burnt out on an inferior version of the game.
I learned my lesson then that i can only trust community reviews and that any media outlet always has an agenda.
Give it a go again. I am playing it for the first time right now and this game is absolutely amazing. I heard they changed quite a lot of things in patch 2.0 and we are already at 2.21. Plus how many games are receiving support so long after release. Yes, their release was a dumpster fire, but they managed to fix most of their bugs and now the game is in really good shape.
I do believe one day i will play it and love it, really just trying to wait long enough to forget all about the 50 hours i put in after their shitty launch.
They didn't fix it. There's some interesting writing there but other than that, none of the original promises came to fruition. The cops still teleport (just a little further away), the crowds are still dumb as shit (worse than GTA3) and react inconsistently and erratically. Your choices don't really matter till the last mission. The game's image has been rehabilitated because NVIDIA spent millions to use it as benchmark for its tech and owners of NV cards need to post-hoc rationalise having sold that kidney to buy a GPU. The game is still meh, a bastardisation of cyberpunk mythos. It's very pretty but, shallow as fuck. Play KCD, that's an RPG series that deserves the name RPG.
Day 1 kcd2 has been pretty good.
Only 1 bug so far forced me to save/exit. But no crash to desktop or anything game breaking so far (knock on wood)
Yeah, nah. Not falling for it.
The PC Parts industry basically stopped making new hardware for games so we should pretty much give up on the notion of things improving substantially past this point.

Yeah yeah
Fool me once
Look, cyberpunk ended up (after some years) being a good game, but that doesn't mean I'll ever trust them again
I will wait to buy it a few years after release. Not getting burned this time around.
Always wait until release. I love CDPR games, but I'll always wait until release. Especially with digital being the default moving forward, the days of scarcity are over.
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
Yeah i'll believe that claim when i see it.
Sorry but the 2077 release had it's consequences.
I assumed we wouldn’t be getting a sequel. I hope they are able to get one out there eventually. 2077 is has the coolest aesthetics I’ve ever seen in a game.
Yeah, I could have sworn they said they were done with cyberpunk after they burned a lot of their credibility on it.
Did they hire Peter Molyneux?
"Chicken chaser! You chase chickens!"
Here we go again...
I'll believe it when I see it this time.
This announcement changes everything! I'm gonna send them my money right now
Yeah maybe just release your game without the hype this time.
Uhh huh.
Yeeeeaaup
Because we all know how well their promises played out for the first one...
It did get finished, eventually. Hope they stop hyping their games up like this. Just release a trailer like Witcher 4 and keep your heads down and work on it.
It’s going to be fun to watch 20 same looking NPCs with same looking clothes living their daily lives with schedules, again.
i need to buy a computer one day so i can play all these games everyone spends money on and hates
Cyberpunk was the last game I preordered preordered and it was because of the blatant lies they told about the game before the release and still have not (and will not) deliver on.
I loved the world they artistically manifested and expanded in some ways (thanks Pondsmith!), loved the music, loved the start of the game. I have yet to finish it because it's still a buggy mess at times.
I'll finish it one day, everyone says the DLC is great. But it will be several solid and honest game releases before I trust cdpr again with any sales pitch. Until third parties have their hands on it, we can't even trust the footage.
The base game was great, but the DLC was probably the best DLC I've ever played, finally knocking the Shivering Isles off the top spot in my book. I can't say much more without spoilers, so

The choice you have to make at the end was the most conflicted I've been in a video game. I really liked both characters, they're both so well fleshed out and you can't help but sympathize with them. In the end, I chose So Mi, but being forced by Reed to shoot him was hard. He's not even real, and I'm mad he made me make that choice.
They had a rough start for console players, or so I've been told, but I strictly play on PC and never had any issues whatsoever, so I'm looking forward to the next game for sure. There's no doubt that the game was a great one, and Phantom Liberty was the DLC that finally knocked the Shivering Isles out of the top spot for me.
I'm gonna just assume it won't be any different than the crowd system of Assassin's Creed; which wasn't even all that impressive back when that first came out.
They said CP2077 would do things no other game did. That was a lie. They are also claiming a new IP they are working on will do the same. I don't really trust them when they say they will be doing something that's never been done before because they can barely make things that have been done to death work properly. And honestly, even the best designers have made that promise and failed to deliver, so whenever I hear the phrase "never seen in a game before" I usually just check out because it's never been true.
They are amazing at the artistic side of things (the visuals, the audio, the story-telling); but when it comes to the technical side? They are pretty bad.
This goal is laid out in one of the job descriptions the publisher's just put out as it seeks to recruit folks to beef up the team working on the Cyberpunk sequel - codenamed Project Orion - at the CD Projekt's relatively new Boston studio.
It's not like they said that in a marketing context; they set it as a goal. Scraping job postings seems a little disingenuous. Job postings always sound like that.
All I want to know is how I can secondarily profit on a bunch of rubes opening their wallets again.
I think this is the one thing open world games never seem to make much progress on, so I hope it's not just hyperbole and they actually have something crazy in mind.
But unless they've fired all of their executive-tier staff since the launch of the first CP2077, I'll refrain from holding my breath.
The fact that GTA V's crowd system still stands out for feeling relatively "real" -- a 12-year-old game -- suggests to me that it's more about design and execution than actually needing a lot of technological advancement.
yeah, Rockstar excels at this. red dead 2 had the best crowds and random encounters. it's got me excited for gta6

I believe them and will definitely get the game eventually, cyberpunk 2077 is one of my favorite games and I'm excited for a sequel. However I will wait a few weeks after it comes out before buying it lol
That sounds like a massive waste of time and money for something that people will only ever notice when it goes wrong. How about making a good game instead of spending millions of dollars on fancy window dressing?
Where's the pre-order link?
So?
