they probably looked at ps5's and xboxsxsexxxx (what that's fucking name again?) adoption numbers and figured there's not much point right now considering how few of them would pay for the upgrade to begin with. and once numbers go up no one gives a shit about a remaster released months ago, so it's sensible to release it later when more people have the consoles to sell it too.
that wouldn't really have fixed it tho. it would've been somewhat of the state it is now, maybe a bit better or worse, but still not the mindblowing game to end all games they sold people via marketing.
After finally playing the PS4 copy I had been sitting on for almost a year, the game is pretty good when and where it works. It's just too unstable.
Blame the higher-ups who switched from delivering a tight, focused RPG experience to trying to make GTA: Night City. Oh, and the ones who decided it would be a good idea to re-write the story after Keanu got brought in.
Or "cyberpunk" in general. Since it's in the title.
The fault I would say is entirely on the higher-ups. It's clear that this game was stuck in a development hell for a period of time, likely to due to conflicting visions and poor management, and that it was pushed out the door only when they couldn't delay it any longer.
Remove the bugs it's still a subpar game, only saving grace is the story & soundtrack but the gameplay is as uninspired as it gets, nothing about this game would make me wanna play it at 100%. Anything the game offers can be offered by other games but better. People keep thinking is the bugs that make it shit but honestly shit like bethesda games at least gave me a vision of something I wanted to play beneath the buggy mess (pre-skyrim, skyrim can suck my ass). Cyberpunk at 100% is what, a subpar gta with looter-shooter mechanics? (And nothing that cool in that department either, borderlands or destiny are way better looter-shooters). I don't know what I expected, maybe something more immersive would've done the trick for me or even something to subdue my deeply settled autism with some gangbusting or whatever painting map minigame stuff, I don't know. What I know is that when they deliver the last patch fix to this game I certainly will still not buy it.
imagine having to fill your roadmap with hotfixes of all things to make your non-existent output less pathetic.
fixing your buggy game is now 'free dlc'
Just for comparison, the last roadmap from June:
The whole game should've been delayed to 2022. Now they're just rubbing it in.
