Sounds more like downplaying the severity of one.

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I'm not downplaying anything, but comparing a dumpster to a dumpster fire and saying they are the same thing is, at best, a little misleading.

The release of Witcher 3 was bad, but it was industry standard bad. Cyberpunk shipped straight up broken and incomplete. It has been fundamentally reworked at least twice since launch.

I don't think anyone is apologizing for The Witcher 3 at launch, but let's not pretend they are the same thing. There are more shades than black and white.

It’s more like both are tornados and one is an F3 and the other being an F5. You’re being disingenuous in defending CDPR for continually inexcusable work.

An industry standard bad? What’s that even mean? At that point in time games were shipping complete still and not in a beta state.

Its always hilarious the excuses people come up with, neither are excusable, yet here you are justifying one… yeesh, give your head a shake.

Haha ok so you're just one of those people whose understanding of the universe isn't capable of expanding beyond "this good, that bad".

I haven't defended anyone and never intended to. I'm just saying get your comparisons straight. "Hey this game has a bunch of annoying bugs" =/= "Yo this shit is effectively non-functional and empty".

I didn’t know a a progress breaking bug at 80 hours in is annoying…? That falls in the latter, non-functional. What about not being able to pick up loot? That’s non-functional…. You’re excusing shitty devs lmfao, this isn’t about good or bad, this is all shades of shit, or like I said previously tornadoes.

Sounds like you just aren’t educated on what the issues actually were, rose coloured glasses or something…. So not only disingenuous now.
