I like how people still try to blame investors to this day
Despite numerous accounts and evidence clearly saying cdpr fucking lied to them too
Dont give them even a single microinch
Just because they were lied to doesn’t mean investors don’t have demands.
their demands was based on what they where told by cdpr, and they said to the investors everything was going swimmingly just look it up, you have the information at your fingertips
You know what's really funny? CDPR only had one big AAA game release without any major problems, the Witcher 3. Thronebreaker was a small scale game based on something already made and I don't feel that one counts.
The Witcher 1 and the Witcher 2 were bad enough at launch that they had to release an "enhanced edition" of both games to fix the problems. If you don't believe me, then just look at the piss poor Linux "port" of the Witcher 2.
The only reason the Witcher 3 wasn't in such a bad state was because it was delayed like 4 or 5 times and released a year and a half later then it was intended. Cyberpunk 2077 has followed the same development path as the Witcher 1 and 2, but for some stupid reason people thought CDPR was immune to bad releases.
WAIT WHAT??? have you been around during launch? does everyone keep forgetting how shit actually was? like i said in a previous comment, it astounds me how people still think they should give these hacks even a microinch. witcher 3 launched in an AWFUL state literally, and i do mean LITERALLY as bad as c2077, it ran like absolute ass, ai was funny as best it took them months to fix the awful state the game run as, the ui also had a serious overhaul, just to name a few youd be lucky to reach a maximum of 60fps on a highend machine of the time. oh and
it was delayed once, not 4 to 5 times
this rotating door of a company never had a single release that didnt launch like ass
Were you around during the Witcher 1 and 2 launches? Compared to them them Witcher 3 was a godsend. The Witcher 1 had terrible performance, bad loading times, just bad in general, the Witcher 2 had horrible performance, bad AI pathing, broken quests etc. Both had to have big overhauls.
The Witcher 3 was delayed at least twice, was originally to launch in 2014, then pushed back to February 2015, then again to may 19th 2015, 4 or 5 times is incorrect .The next-gen patches were then delayed a couple times as well. The Witcher 3 was a decent launch outside the garbage nvidia hairworks nonsense.
sooo like i said, all their games at launch are a dumpsterfire of varying itnensity
Yes, I'm agreeing with you. I don't understand why you're being argumentative about this subject.
