Leaving this here because I've seen people elsewhere saying Sony/Microsoft are responsible for the state of the game on consoles for allowing it to pass certification:

Heh. "Flappiness".
While CP was more of a backburner simmer for me, I was looking forward to it. My disappointment is slightly lessened only by virtue of my less-than-overwhelming eagerness to play it. That being said, I'm still gonna see if Best Buy will let me return it (wish me luck, they're the fucking worst).
All of this reminds me of the hype leading up to Destiny, for which I was simping hard. Then they chopped it up, repackaged parts of the base game as paid DLC, butchered the story, etc., etc. It was hot garbage, and I was pissed for months. The gameplay itself was good, but there was no plot. It simply didn't exist. I should have learned my lesson about game studios promising the world.

It was remarkable how much blind faith was given to CDPR based on one good mainstream game.
I kept my eye on it, but the edginess always annoyed me some. If it were a little more "cyber" and less "punk" I think I would have been more excited about it
Generally speaking I'm more about sci-fi than dystopias anyway.

In fairness to CDPR, Witcher III was really fucking good. Like, "I didn't leave my room for a month" good.
Thinking about Destiny stoked the embers of my nerd rage, and I had to go looking. This video is perfect for describing just exactly how badly Bungie and Activision fucked away what should have been a revolutionary series. (You can start at the time stamp for the really juicy bits, or start at the beginning, it's a pretty good video overall).

Cyberpunk doesn't look like my jam. I have really enjoyed The Witcher III, but it doesn't own my soul the way Final Fantasy does. I don't feel compelled to keep playing it until I'm done. A couple of hours a day is enough before it starts waning.

And in CDPR fairness, C2077 is a very good game by critics and a big step up from Witcher 3 in the RPG department. It would be a different thing if they were panned for making an outright bad game, which they didn't, they just made a great one that's currently unplayable on last-gen consoles.

I reaaaaally disagree.
The storyline (as far as I've gotten into it before giving up on the game) is good, but nothing to write home about. And the issues with the game aren't solely due to bugs. The entire nature of the game as they intended is far, far removed from how they were billing it. It's not an RPG, it's an action-adventure game on rails, as someone else said. Witcher was far and away a superior game in many ways, but especially in the RPG department.

The game is still on their store though.

If you're an idiot like me and bought a physical copy at Best Buy, they're honoring the refund through the 21st.
I myself just returned my copy, even though 2 different workers tried to tell me that Best Buy doesn't allow any software to be returned once the package is opened. Just tell them they made an exception, and show them the link (which is on Best Buy's own forum).

Arguably the poor treatment of the devs made it fall short of even the “punk” aspect, according to the devs themselves.It was remarkable how much blind faith was given to CDPR based on one good mainstream game.

This game release is turning into a straight up shit show. If your save file reaches 8 MB in size, then kiss your data goodbye.
CD Project Red should quit trying to be redpilled edgelords and fucking master developing a functioning game.

You know your game is doing... badly... when people are comparing it to Fallout 76... to point out that for all the bugs and glitches and problems with Fallout 76, it still... worked when it came to basic functionality like working save files...
It shouldn't take this long to develop a game that makes a Bethesda game launch look more competent. At least when it comes to the game actually functioning, not payment methods.
Another fun "what the hell was the development of this game like?" moment

I've been playing my bug-riddled, low quality PS4 version of Cyberpunk and all things considered I'm having fun. Mostly, I'm enjoying the writing, the atmosphere, and how some of the quest are structured - when they work. But yeah, very far from GOTY material. Personally, I'm still ok with this game because I tend to put a damper on my expectations.
A few things that come to mind - probably repeating some of the impressions mentioned here:
- The game heavily suffers from over-hype backlash. A lot of fans started to place unreasonable expectations on what this game should be like, and CDPR promoted the game as though it would satisfy all these expectations. It really reminded me what had happen with the release of Watchdogs 1.
- They must have decided to go ahead with the release because they didn't want to miss the Xmas window. But yeah, the game is clearly unfinished, and completely unoptimized for PS4. It looks like a 'PS3 game remastered for your PS4'. On the technical side, Watchdogs 1 is better than this, and that game was released ... 6 years ago. Ouch. Personally it reminded me of the release of FF XV, but while FFXV was incomplete at launch, at least it was rather bug-free.
- How many times did I hear "I don't need good graphics, just give me a good story!" for a rpg? Personally, I've always found this argument absurd, because it's often the quality of the visuals that contributes to your immersion in the world where the rpg takes place. This game is a very good example of it: I do feel like I'm missing out on a lot of the atmosphere of this game, because the graphics quality is lacking.
I'd still give the game a 8/10. But it's a far cry from 'the second coming of the rpg-messiah to rule them all' that a lot of folks seem to have expected.

I dunno about unreasonable expectations. This is an adaptation of an existing property, a tabletop RPG, it's gameplay very much resembles what we see in the pre-Keanu marketing material, a team of mercs that do heists jobs for fixers in the cyberpunk world. It was marketed as such but it got shortchanged for a more doable linear action-adventure storyline and gameplay mode that focuses on V as a solo operative with a sidekick in his head. As Erotic Materia says, what it became is really not much of an RPG, doesn't matter if you are playing it on a console or PC for which it is optimised better.

This seriously looks like one of the really surreal nightmares I get after eating a lot of fried food late at night.... What the fuck did they do to this game?

Even when accounting for the refunds the game still sold a lot of copies.
