The game is decent on PC. I'd probably give it an 8/10.
They would have been better off cancelling the PS4/Xbox One versions in 2019 and then focusing on the PC version and cutting less content.
I don't think it's really rewarding bad practices that it did so well. I have to imagine console sales are pretty poor, or at the very least aren't anywhere even remotely close to their potential. I'm sure the money counters look at that area and see a lot of lost potential—having the game off of PSN has to hurt in that regard.

They might well have a success on their hands this time? But what damage has it done to their reputation?
Me thinks that their next game will be what really feels the ramifications of Cyberpunk...

In the end, companies can pull a lot of shit and still be rewarded if their product is what people want.
Cyberpunk 2077 was a good game on my Xbox Series X, especially the well-written quests and the multi-layered characters. But CD Project has lost a lot of trust from me given the way they treat their employees, view minorities and straight out lie about last-gen versions of their game. I will not forget this, but many will.

If we only count the Playstation copies, at least 4 of those 15 million total copies go away.
the meat of the game is there. its definately not like anhem or no mans sky where there was no content.
Undeserved.
I think they'll play it safe with a Witcher 4 and most will have forgotten by the time that comes out. Potential investors will definitely take note, however.
I don't think they will be. As soon as they fix the most glaring bugs and release the next-gen versions there will be a massive influx of new buyers. They'll bundle a couple of free DLC and all will be forgiven as people start praising CDPR for supporting the game. Again, the example of No Man's Sky shows that most customers and media have very short memories.
It was actually MW3 that was the best selling COD of all-time... until Modern Warfare (2019) outsold it this year.
Game has been in the top 5 of steam charts every week since like september.

I mean, achieving all this through lies isn't something they should be proud of or happy about. They got their money and that's all they'll care about, I hope it was worth it. Gross company.
I blame gamers who constantly buy into hype and pre-ordering for a big part of their success. But this is mostly pc numbers, and I think that version was ok? Haven't played it, so I wouldn't know.
This just proves that marketing and hype is a big factor for success. CP2077 didn't deserve this success.

How could they not? They face no consequences for their actions. The games industry has long accepted the bare minimum of quality control as the norm.
I know that opinions are just opinions, but this review was genuinely embarrassing I thought. Even before the game came out it read as so hyperbolic it was indistinguishable from some hyper 7 year old kid describing their brand new Christmas present, let alone after everyone saw the true state of the thing.
I liked the game, but there was way too much issues.
But i think Cyberpunk showed us all how meaningless reviews are. It's all about the hype and not getting boycotted by the same people that clicks on ads. I can't possibly trust any website that reviewed the game with a 9 or a 10.

There is no DLC coming anytime soon. The next gen version of the game isn't even scheduled until the second half of 2021.
Not a good example. No Man's Sky was lacking features that were promised. Cyberpunk was nearly unplayable on last gen consoles and a buggy mess on both PC and when played on current gen consoles.
Some missions are choices exclusive. Alanah Pearce's mission is nomad exclusive for one.
Also exclusive dialogue choice that unlock additional ways on how to approach a mission.
It doesn't have to be the exact same situation to be useful in determining a pattern of behavior.
You'd hope a lot of lessons are being learned by some game critics/'journalists'. Of course in some cases it's probably fully intentional. In Jez Corden's case, I think he just gets blinded by hype at times. I'll never forget this gem from before Sea of Thieves' ignominious launch: "Any concerns I had about Sea of Thieves are gone. This will be 2018's PUBG." As you say, the words of someone struggling to keep their excitement under control to actually analyse what is in front of them.
That's terrible news for the industry and players. It just shows that marketing > everything when it comes to AAA games. And that's quite dangerous consumire-wise.
I've somewhat enjoyed the game and have it already platinumed, but it hurts to see how straight out lying about some things and deceiving can get you this far...

Their next game won't be so massively pre-ordered. People are now sceptical.
I feel like the game is good enough to be one of the best selling games of the year but not good enough for the biggest launch of all time. It was released too soon and could have been the GOAT if given another year to re-do some sections.
