CP77 drama intensifies.
I hope CDPR learns the lesson and stops wasting time on console ports. The idea that a game like this could run smoothly on 2013 hardware is just bonkers.
Aleksander MajjamLast generation consoles, I'll correct you.
PS5 and XB Series X have more powerful hardware in it than our 1070s and CPUs right now.

CP77 development started when those last-gen consoles were still next-gen.
PCs can grow with the development of a game, but consoles can't. You'll end up with a product that either wastes the potential of current-gen PCs, or exceeds the potential of consoles, as in this case.
I frankly don't understand why people buy consoles at all, except for the Nintendo Switch, which offers portable gaming. But then again, people don't have unreasonable expectations about Switch games. Nintendo is filling a gap. Sony and Microsoft just ruin games that could otherwise have been excellent.
Rebecca HailYeah, but afaik the entire technical foundation got scraped at least once during those seven years.

Aleksander MajjamLMAO. Fucking hilarious.
If you don't understand why over 120 million people bought PS4's last generation, then I'm not going to go through the trouble of explaining why. I will explain how a business works, however. CDPR is a company. Companies want to make money. If CDPR wanted to exclude 100's of millions of console players, they sure as hell could've if the PC is the end all, be all, like you tout. However, no company wants to leave money on the table. It's as simple as that.
Crying about consoles holding back PC's though? What year is it?
No one fucked CDPR but CDPR. They marketed this game as a console game, on the console part of E3. If you're going to say that the game works for consoles, it's not unreasonable to expect that the game works on consoles. Hell, the game isn't even optimized for next-gen consoles, but is being brute-forced by backwards compatible hardware. When it finally gets next-gen patches, expect base PS5/SBSX to handle this game at settings above what your 1070 2016 POS of a video card can chug out.
Synthya WylderWell, there are those who play their same gender in games/online as they are in RL.

But Yes, the female of the species can often be disproportionally vicious, sometimes taking advantage of the stupifying effects of testosterone-induced lust.

Mantis blades, nice. My V's currently running around with a free legendary monowire you can find... also a rather mean accessory

It may well be true that CDPR didn't want to exclude 100's of millions of console players, but that is exactly what's happening now anyway. In case you missed it, the game was pulled from the PS4 store. And considering its current state, it's unlikely to return. It just won't run on 2013 hardware, no matter how much one might wish it would.
I agree with you that this game should never have been marketed as a console game. In fact that was exactly the point I was making. It's a PC game. Games will always look and feel better on the latest PC hardware than on the latest consoles. And even if you don't care that much about graphics and just want to enjoy the game right now, you need a PC.
The business model of consoles involves subsidized hardware in exchange for inflated game prices and a fixed life cycle after which your games collection will expire. MS and Sony aren't charities, they got involved in video game consoles because it's a way to screw customers, i.e. you. They used to share the spoils with game developers, but it seems that this model is showing initial signs of failure. Pulling a triple-A title off the shelves just before the christmas holiday is unprecedented, and it should serve as a lesson to CDPR and a major warning to other game developers. Things like this can happen only if a single corporation controls an entire hardware platform.
Aleksander MajjamWhat part of the game working fine on PS5/XBSS/SBSX don't you get? You absolutely DO NOT need a PC to enjoy CP77 right now. LOL. You are arguing in such bad faith that I'm surprised you're being this obtuse.
With the newly released Cyberpunk 2077 update promising "improved stability", we obviously had to go and check whether one of the game's biggest problems has been fixed. We are, of course, talking about the consistent crashing issue that's been present since day one. It exists on both PS4 and PS5 (through backwards compatibility), with the game crashing roughly every hour and a half of play, pretty much without fail. Some players have it worse than others, though.
Unfortunately, update 1.05 hasn't helped. Once again, after slumming it around Night City for about 90 minutes, the game crashed on us when we entered a busy area. Very disappointing. We're currently reading similar reports around the web.
What's more, the patch did not address the game-breaking bug that currently holds our 65-hour save file hostage, despite the patch notes claiming that it would. In fact, our in-game phone appears to be completely broken — quest givers simply refuse to contact us, even for smaller side jobs and gigs. Unbelievable stuff.
It's unclear whether Cyberpunk 2077 will receive any further patches before the holidays. CD Projekt Red has stated that two big updates are coming in January and February 2021 respectively, and if they work wonders, then we might see the game return to the PlayStation Store within the next few months.
Aleksander MajjamI just want to say I haven't played it yet. I'm waiting until 1 or 2 more patches release before I jump in.

So what is this?

Apparently it'll take a few more patches until the game is ready to be played even on next-gen consoles. Oh wait, you even said so yourself!

Aleksander MajjamA 114 page thread exclusively for PC CP77 crashing??

No one claimed that the game never crashes on PCs. Since the PC platform is extremely varied, there will be rigs where the game crashes, sometimes even for reasons entirely unrelated to the game itself, e.g. heat issues, instability due to overclocking, obsolete drivers, bad PSUs, etc.
Still, if you look at the overall scores on review aggregators, the PC platform is where the game gets positive reviews. For example, these are the current user scores on metacritic:
PC: 7.1 (21590 votes)
Xbox: 4.3 (3028 votes)
PS4: 3.1 (7975 votes)
So there's one guy who played through the entire game on his PS5 without a single crash? Great! Maybe CDPR should propose to buy his console, and then use it as evidence in the upcoming lawsuit against Sony. Because apparently there are variations in Sony's PS5 production that CDPR couldn't possibly anticipate.
