Found this to be a good interview with the developer.

Look CDPR, I love the Witcher games and think Cyberpunk is a fine game too. Just please take your time. That’s all I’m asking for.

Chances are it's going to release full of bugs and be missing half the content they market to us.

Don't believe anything these companies say, judge the game by how it releases, assume the typical modern day AAA bullshit until proven otherwise.

Or preferably: don’t care about the game at all until it releases. Ignore previews or alpha demos, beta footage, gameplay trailers/teasers, etc. That way you don’t build up hype that has a big chance to disappoint you. Take the game for what it is at release and either like it then or not.

That’s what I do, but not until “it releases”, but “it’s on sale, asking not more than 15€ for a patched product with DLC”. Usually at least a year.

I went for The Witcher 4 news, I got fed with corporate bullshit and cyberpunk things.

0/10, would not recommend.

Can they try actually making the game prior to releasing it this time?

Jumi@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 11:24 collapse

It’s a AAA title so of course not. Release buyers are morons paying beta testers after all

They never learn, and its easy to see why.
Cause people never do, they hype it to shit, it will release a broken piece of shit, they promise for realsies to do better next time and the cycle repeats.

Thats how its always been.
