    Yes, there were big claims before and yes, everyone should be extremely cautious. Never preorder games. It will likely suck, and even then just from the general trend in AAA gaming.

    BUT there is a big difference this time around, specifically: they’re no longer using their own engine. That does change the equation.

      I honestly don’t understand why people buy games before the first few patches are released. It feels like paying to be a beta tester.

      I feel like it would be a negative change though, as they haven’t worked with any other engine since… Forever.

    They had a rough start for console players, or so I’ve been told, but I strictly play on PC and never had any issues whatsoever, so I’m looking forward to the next game for sure. There’s no doubt that the game was a great one, and Phantom Liberty was the DLC that finally knocked the Shivering Isles out of the top spot for me.

    I think this is the one thing open world games never seem to make much progress on, so I hope it’s not just hyperbole and they actually have something crazy in mind.

    But unless they’ve fired all of their executive-tier staff since the launch of the first CP2077, I’ll refrain from holding my breath.

      The fact that GTA V’s crowd system still stands out for feeling relatively “real” – a 12-year-old game – suggests to me that it’s more about design and execution than actually needing a lot of technological advancement.

    Look, cyberpunk ended up (after some years) being a good game, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever trust them again

    That sounds like a massive waste of time and money for something that people will only ever notice when it goes wrong. How about making a good game instead of spending millions of dollars on fancy window dressing?

      The PC Parts industry basically stopped making new hardware for games so we should pretty much give up on the notion of things improving substantially past this point.

    Because we all know how well their promises played out for the first one…

    It did get finished, eventually. Hope they stop hyping their games up like this. Just release a trailer like Witcher 4 and keep your heads down and work on it.
