Comment on CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit

  Hey, it’s been awhile, it’s gotta be done by now!

  Did they finally add all the features they advertised?

    They used the No Man’s Sky strategy: release trash, polish it a bit, then get praised for improving while the game is still nowhere near what was promised.

      They arguably did worse, because NMS didn’t just polish the game, they retroactively added most of the content + didn’t release a DLC. Cyberpunk falls short of what has been promised to this day.

        I’m not sure what most people were expecting but I finally got around to playing the GOTY edition recently.

        I got a game with great characters, writing and story, slightly average gameplay, all shackled to a bizarre open world that completely destroys any pacing and urgency. It really did not need all those fixers and like 150 police mini missions, which detract from it all in a major way.

        Having also played Witcher 3, that’s kind of what I was expecting, I guess. I genuinely think CDPR should abandon their open world ideas, because they’re excellent at story telling, but really bad at filler bullshit.

        Phantom Liberty ups the package to a flawed masterpiece.

      It’s why I’ll never get it unless obtained for the good ol’ price of free. I’m glad people are enjoying it and it’s much improved over the trash pile they delivered! But it’s still a very different game than advertised.

      Frankly, it’s concerning how quickly the narrative shifted on this. You’d think with the internet recording the whole fiasco, there wouldn’t be a quick narrative shift and misinformation on the subject, but people have convinced themselves the launch wasn’t that bad, Sony somehow screwed them and this is what they said the game would be!

        One’s mileage could vary wildly at launch with that game. It did work just fine for me, with some minimal jank, but I could clearly see the video evidence others had of their bad time.

      I agree, but nms probably did it better

      Battlefield 2042 tried that and still seems to be widely hated. I like it, it was on sale recently and would’ve been a good buy for $7 bucks.

        That game also happens to have some of the worst enemy AI I’ve ever seen in any game ever

    No… They built on what they managed to make instead. Frankly, a more manageable solution

    I’ve just started playing it for the first time, seems to run fine on my steam deck.
