After who knows how many delays, and close to a decade in development (hell), Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out.
And as it was expected, the game is far from polished, and failing to live up to the expectations.
Considering the (over)hype surrounding the game ever since it became known Keanu Reeves is attached to the project, this doesn't surprise me.
What surprises me, are the people in this day and age still expecting for game to actually be complete and playable on release.
I understand this used to be, maybe even a decade ago, the industry standard. But nowadays, expecting to get a finished game on release is a fools dream. And the gamers themselves are the ones to blame, at least in part, because they are the ones willing to continually preorder overpriced half-baked games.
We all know the game is not finished nor polished at the release date. There are patches, fixes, and who know how many other things that need to get sorted out before a newly released game gets to the stage of being playable.
I'm not defending Cyberpunk 2077 here. I am one of those people who would really like to play the game, but I'm willing to wait mandatory two years minimum for all its most and major problems to get fixed and sorted out.
The only thing you miss out by waiting that much longer is frustrations at launch, higher price, plethora of bugs, and abundance of glitches. Is it really worth it to buy a game at launch if you're just a regular gamer, and not some sort of entertainer who's earning his living by playing the game when it comes out?
