I think it's the anti-hype reaction from such people that are angry with it. The AI is definitely not great, but there is nothing wrong with the story, as far as I have gotten so far. Maybe if people also expected it to be the greatest story ever in the history of games, then I guess such people will be disappointed.
I think people, knowing how they react to games, basically all the time...just want to be angry. We don't have a history of what it's like to spend a year of development on a major game during a pandemic. We just don't. And no fans don't seem to care that this pandemic thing is actually happening outside of their own experience of it.

Who cares if they posted it a year ago?

Ubisoft has 10x the staff (maybe that is being too conservative?), at 100x the budget, and, until this year, no one, anyone, all of them...any data about a game release in a pandemic (AC Vikingthingy being the only game to compare...at least in ONE of those data points, to this CDPR game).
I mean, you're not wrong, but there is also a difference in years of experience, literal labor-time, and resources, that these folks simply don't have compared to those people. Their studio is in fricking Poland,and they fricking ninja this content, anyway, better than 98% of development companies around the world, with far, far, far less advantageous circumstances, so....yeah, these guys I'm not worried about. Well, not yet anyway, lol.where they have been going through a ~4 year "trying out" of literal fascism,
They get work done. This is a stubbed toe on your bed post in the morning, that you shrug off because you had a pisser of a night and well, the decisions you make right now, over the next several months, are going to define these folks. For sure. No doubt about that.
The world has gone through utter piss-hell SHIT this year (yeah, I know what forum I'm in), and if anything else, people can learn to deal with SHIT for the first time in their privileged lives...for just a little more time. It gets better. Let people just work and figure things out.
just chill, everyone. Let people work, FFS.
No free passes sorry. They screwed up and lost a billion dollars(that doesn’t sound like a studio with no money) and now have lost favor with a lot of people. I don’t give free passes because “omg this year sucks” you don’t make a game in 8 months, it was announced 8 years ago. If you can’t get it right in 7 years you don’t deserve my money.
OK.
So what did they get wrong?
On the other hand I'm sure management pushed the decision to release it and meet the deadline. Not only that but I'm pretty sure there was incompetent project management as well. I'm a developer myself and I don't know many other developers that would push code in a buggy state to production. I care about what I wrote and how it functions but sometimes you're forced to work fast and sprint to the finish because business wants it and what they say goes.Performance for one and I don’t care if people with new $800 GPUs can run it on high as it was announced 7 years before we knew about a rtx3080, poor AI that even PS2 games got better, numerous bugs and glitches in game play and scripted events. Things that anyone who played the game would see and should have said “hmm this should probably be fixed”. So either nobody played it and actually reported problems or they ignored them. These problems didn’t just appear overnight.

Finally finished this today around level 27 or so. I skipped a ton of the side missions because I just wanted to see how it ended. Ending was not what I expected (at least the one I choose), but it was good. The main strength of this game is the effort put into the city design (sometimes it can look just amazing), and the writing for the main story and the side missions. The characters are memorable, and some the side quests are really well written, provided you can deal with the presentation. So many times I would start a mission only to get bombarded with text messages/phone calls part way in that it really took away from the story. Even worse was when the phone calls overlapped quest dialogue and you would have two separate conversations going on at the same time.
Patch 1.05 to be out for pc soon. Lots of fixes for missions and some performance fixes for amd/ryzen.
Currently it's out for consoles now.
- [AMD SMT] Optimized default core/thread utilization for 4-core and 6-core AMD Ryzen(tm) processors. 8-core, 12-core and 16-core processors remain unchanged and behaving as intended. This change was implemented in cooperation with AMD and based on tests on both sides indicating that performance improvement occurs only on CPUs with 6 cores and less.
- Removed the memory_pool_budgets.csv file. which was not connected with the final version of the game and had no influence on it (it was a leftover file used during the development to estimate memory usage. It had no effect on how much memory was actually allocated). Perceived performance increase after editing the file may have been related to restarting the game.
interesting details on these two issues:
basically, one of these fixes didn't actually do anything because the file didn't do anything in the first place, and the other fix only affected CPUs with 6 cores or less.
These never get old
Interesting that AMD suggested not loading on the SMT thread on 8 cores and up.
Yes it does. I am sure I have seen that more than 20 times on various forums for various subjects.
Much like the over-used Hitler video, it was funny this first time. Maybe tolerable for the first half dozen times, now it's just old and tedious.

Maybe they should rename the game CyberPatch 2077.
I liked this one. IDK why but it just made me chuckle. We all know how it's gonna end but I just laugh everytime I watch it.
Pretty sure I've already seen two.Yes it does. I am sure I have seen that more than 20 times on various forums for various subjects.

I really don't get why some people think they are clever re-doing something that was old and tired a decade ago. I remember watching "Hitler reacts" video somewhere in 2009 or before (at workplace that I haven't been to since), though I can't remember what the subject was then.
After you see it once, it loses impact, and while I can't speak for others, I almost immediately lost interest in watching another, same goes for the Spanish laughing guy. Spanish laughing guy is newer, but still a few years old now.
