This sort of shit is why they're one of the few companies I still consider buying games at full price from. Bought Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 on release at full price, no regrets (even with the glitches).

To be honest, after the cyberpunk launch, I lost a little faith in cdpr. But seeing what they're doing now, and having heard how good of a game cyberpunk has become. I might just buy cyberpunk next time it goes on sale

You should. I bought the whole thing on sale for $33, but I would have gladly paid full price, glitches and all. I just vibed with the entire story, DLC included. 160 hours of game play, most of it just exploring or driving around. Partly because I didn't want the story and the game to end. I knew it was going to be bittersweet, although I didn't exactly know how, for both the DLC and the main story. I know there are multiple endings, but I think I got the best you could get for the DLC and the main game, and for me those are the only endings that exist. ❤️

I played through on release, no regrets. It is definitely a much more polished experience how though, would recommend! Runs great too.

I played it at release too, and the only two bugs I can remember was a guy popping in and t-posing across the room straight out a wall in the Tom's Diner scene with Takamura and then one of the locations that had a side mission never opened up properly my first run through which prevented me getting an achievment for 100%ing all the missions the first time through.

Oh well, the speed boost glitch too. But that was a useful and fun one so it doesn't count (and I am mad they fixed it).

I actually encounter more bugs of all kinds now, after all the updates and changes. Like cars falling from the sky randomly, NPCs models bugging out, scripts not firing properly, and a lot of annoyances trying to drive vehicles.

I had a crazy glitch with Saburo's robe floating waaaay above his shoulders: It looked very ridiculous during a pretty intense scene and the juxtaposition was fun.

I got it on steam Summer sale for $33 for the full game. No regrets.

It really is a very good game

Witcher 2 and 3 launched as messes too, not as bad as Cyberpunk 2077 (that's probably the worst triple A launch ever).

I had little hope in it and have little hope in their next game, especially considering its UE5...

It's good, just don't expect what they were promising before launch. I enjoyed the base game and the Phantom Liberty DLC even more.

I brought it day 1 on PS4 (it didn't even release on the PS5 for a while after) and played it for like 2 days straight and barely looked online. I came to my own conclusion that it was awful and felt good knowing I wasnt alone once I did look. Sony then refunded everyone and I took it. Then sometime later that year or maybe the year after when it was at its lowest it was also selling for basically nothing and swooped it up for $5 bucks on PC. I didnt touch it for years and think I played it finally once it dropped the last big update which may have been 2024? It was a great game at this point and fully worth a regular price.

As for the Witcher 3 it was always a great game and as far as I saw they did everything right for that game. Its probably a top 3 all time game for me since idk if I ever felt so emmerssed into a game like this one did. Attention to story was and is still peak gaming.

Cyberpunk is infinitely better than it released and such a good game. I bought it on launch and ended up just waiting for the dlc to drop before my first playthrough, they had such a good game underneath so I get all the hype but the bean counters just under estimated the necessary timeline for it to be ready. 😤

This. I even bought them twice: on GOG (for them) and Steam (for me).

I never ever buy games at full price. I always wait a year or more until they hit %75 OFF or more.

These guys fucking deserve every coin I have.

base game owners will now be able to play the Blood and Wine, Heart of Stone expansions for free.

Wow that's seriously cool. 😎

And those who have been holding off buying it during the last mega-sales, like me, might see a base-price increase. 😑

I have no rush to buy it because I plan to at least experience the first two games before going for the third, which is a very long time commitment, and the DLC add even more play time.

Yayyyyy!

This title update is available on both consoles and PC, but only for the current-gen versions (PS5, Xbox Series X|S). We checked the PS4 version, and it seems it hasn’t gotten the patch, and we doubt it ever will.

Nooooo!

Casual gamer...only have PS4 🥺
