    Xbox - Let's have an Honest Conversation: Why you shouldn't buy Cyberpunk, yet.


    Let's have an Honest Conversation: Why you shouldn't buy Cyberpunk, yet.

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 06:57 AM PST

    This will be downvoted and I don't really care but I hope you read the entire post.

    This issue has happened time and time again: See Anthem, Madden, etc. But developers releasing a game that is faulty as heck on the original consoles, has major issues on the next gen, and is just as much of a mess on PC unless you have a 3080+ is a nonsense money grab.

    There is 0 reason for me to purchase a $60 game for my console and it looks like it was made 10 years ago and bugs out constantly. There's even less reason for me to purchase a new console at $499 and possibly a new tv at $999+ and see a game that looks like it was made for Xbox 360. CDPR has forced amazing visuals down our throats with their marketing. They have pushed back release dates and forcing their devs to work crunch time for months and lied about it. Heck, they even refused to send any console codes to reviewers knowing the reviewers would scream foul at them. This was the shadiest shit I've ever seen. Worst yet, they let PC players across the globe play hours earlier than console gamers to probably drown out our console voices because they knew we'd have so many issues.

    This screams bullshit corporation and the stupid part is we, as consumers, keep making the game developers do it. We keep buying shit sight unseen (pre-order) and try to make it justified after the fact. There is no justification. The game does not look good and is buggy as hell.

    So, I implore you to make a fuss, ask for a refund, and stop buying games until we know they are fully developed.

    Edit: I plan on re-purchasing this game later, once it's fixed.

    Edit 2: I wanted to clarify something. Someone asked a good question "Why do you still want the game in the end?"

    I didn't explain it well in the top level post but my argument is based on the economics of game sales and how shareholders view profits. For a single player game, some of the most important factors are Pre-order #s and early sales (think the first 1-3 months). After that, the life of sales really isn't as impressive to shareholders/business side of game development. So when we purchase a game sight unseen and it has this many issues, the business side of game development thinks it did it's job well and will be encouraged to keep releasing broken games that rely on heavy marketing to get us hyped up. If we take our time and skip pre-order and early game sales and wait for fixes it may help encourage the business side of development slow their releases as they won't get as many big sales numbers to tout to share holders.

    Again, I will re purchase this game and play the entirety of it when its fixed but for now I feel that I'm doing myself, as a consumer, a dishonesty by letting them have my money.

    For clarity of the first edit, I purchased this game on MS store via digital. I returned it within the return window.

    PS: keep the counter arguments coming, I love see the opposite view as everyone's view counts!

    Figured I'd post mine since other people are. My bumper broke after 3 years so I figured I'd customize a bit.

    Are people overreacting about Cyberpunk issues?

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 01:40 PM PST

    I'm playing on Xbox One S and have only crashed once (10 hours in) The visual noise overlay bothered me but is easily turned off, I haven't had any major issues at all and remember Skyrim being 10x more buggy than this, I'm loving the game so far!

    Parties not working?

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 01:32 PM PST

    I don't know if this is just me with this problem, but all my friends are having the same issue so I assume not. Everytime I make a party, it works like normal for a few seconds, then says Party encountered an error. Everything else is working fine, messages, games etc

    Just got denied a refund for cyberpunk

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 01:00 PM PST

    For a lil context I own a day one edition Xbox one. Pre ordered the game and finally loaded it up yesterday and realized it was basically unplayable. 20 FPS, lil to no npc's, constant crashes, freezes and even save deletion left me feeling very let down. Applied for a refund this morning and got denied. Shady tactics not letting anyone review or talk about the console version of the game for it to be released like this. This game should not have been published and now I'm out $60. This is unacceptable.

    Me and my friend are both getting this error, happened both on pc and xbox

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 12:29 PM PST

    I used a prepaid debit card to pay for a game pass for 3 months, unfortunately the card is non reloadable and I cannot fill it up to pay for this month. I am looking into getting another $25 gift card or ordering a digital code from amazon for 1 month as opposed to 3. Which do you guys recommend?
