    I mean considering the vast amounts of bugs in the game could a few of the higher ups at CDPR want CP 2077 to fail? CDPR's past games were a little buggy but not to this extent. And since the higher ups at CDPR can view the progress of the game why would they give the green light to release it this year considering it was not polished?

    I think they gave the greenlight because of pressure from stakeholders. They should have set their 3rd delay longer instead of 21 days.

    It doesnt count as fail if the sales are high.

    Only player satisfaction is guaranteed to fail.

    I think that pressure from stakeholders was the correct course of action. Theres only so much time you can spend developing the game until the development costs vs probability of the game being successful becomes too skewed. Spending 8 years on a game is definitely too long, and its clear the game suffered from it (Created for the last gen but getting 15fps on the original ps4/xbox one).

    There are too many examples on games flopping because their development lifespan was longer than the lifespan of the consoles they were made for.

    Remember Fallout 76? This game was barely playable with all the bugs and glitches and it was still released :D
    CP2077 is nothing compared to Fallout 76.

    People were creating mobs and screaming about how they took a month off of their job just to play the game.
    People pressured them to release it. They delayed it once, the people would've rampaged if they delayed it a second time.

    Compared to other shitfests the game is in a decent state, but Im playing on PC.
    So far I only encountered two bugs:
    Primary weapon randomly disabled: Restarting the game fixes it for several hours.
    Foliage is visible trough everything: Updating the driver fixed it permanently.

    The performance on PS 4 and XBox is not surprising. These consoles are ancient at this point. Their next-gen counterparts have almost 10 times the processing power among other advantages. Hiding the issues almost certainly happened on pressure of the stakeholders.

    Bought the game a few days ago for the old OG xbox. I only had two crashes through 15 hours of gameplay and that was before the 15g patch, didn't see any bugs apart from some texture pop and that can be explained because of the crap hardware for the old console.

    It runs fine right now, especially if you compare it to the shit shows like mass effect andromeda and fallout 76

    The marketing are just too good, the game are so so even if there's no bug present.

    It still had more story in 5 minutes than Pokemon Sword and Shield had in 5 hours.

    No one is playing pokemon for the storyline. Its just something that happens when you're going city to city to catch them all.

    why would they want their own game to fail?

    the money they could earn through making it a success is miles beyond what anyone should be willing to bribe them with, and who tf would bribe them to make it fail anyway?

    I think they were force to release it early, cuz not only was the fans really looking forward to it... I think the investors too... for a stock price to fall 30% that quick some people must have cash in on their stocks. Oh well, it's not that big of a problem cuz unlike other companies this company takes care of problems and not just leave it there hangin, give it time the bugs would be clean through, since for sure the same the witcher they would release dlcs.... and no consumers would buy it if the game is buggy. So be patient and take it easy. we're given a great game if it's buggy it's ok we don't have to be acting violently about it if they aren't doing shit then sure but they are releasing patches. and they own up to their mistake, they have a good attitude about it.
