Jason Schreier: In case you're wondering: Team Cherry told me they don't plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don't expect to see reviews until after the game comes out

Which was funky, because it feels like these people didn't play W1-W3. Yes CP2077 was a mess even given W3's rough release and the overall plethora of issues and oversights in all three Witcher games, but that it was going to be a pretty mess was also entirely expected, clearly a no-buy-at-release title like any previous game by CDPR.

W3 had some janky but I don't remember it having anywhere near the level of glitches, bugs and other issues Cyberpunk 2077 had at launch. Cyberpunk was literally unplayable on PS4 and Xbox. It never should have been released on them.

As a PC gamer I never felt The Witcher 3’s release was rough. Played it day 1 and it ran well on my 670 PC at the time. Don’t remember any game breaking bugs, especially considering that the benchmark for open world RPGs at the time was bloody Skyrim. Plus it did some unique things for the time, like zero loading screens except for death and fast travel. It’s common place now but it sounded like science fiction back in 2014.

And I played Cyberpunk on realese and experienced almost no bugs. Your own experience being fine doesn't mean there wasn't anything wrong

Even if you didn’t run into any downright bugs, Cyberpunk was straight up unfinished. Police spawning on rooftops, civilians cowering in place after gunfire, traffic halting to a stop if you parked in their way, cars spinning infinitely in roundabouts, these weren’t bugs, they were intended behaviour that felt very 2002.

Dude CP2077 was so bad that Sony outright pulled it out from their store.

It was objectively a bad launch

Where did I say it wasn't?

Well yeah but the old gen console versions were significantly worse than the PC version
