CYBERPUNK 2077
So lets get this straight:
- First "reviews" were not allowed to talk about console performance or image quality, the day before the game went live
- First "reviews" were not allowed to show any footage of them playing the game, only footage provided by CD Projekt
- Reviewers/Websites/YouTubers were OK, with calling these impressions as "REVIEWS", when realistically, they were "marketing previews"
So basically these so called journos, who are responsible for giving everyone their honest opinion, were in league with CD Projekt to preserve pre-order sales, knowing full well, these were not "reviews" but "marketing previews". Now the truth is out, and millions of copies have been bought digitally, they cannot be refunded.
This is the problem with so many reviewers wanting their "free" game, and get early access, they compromised their values to give a very misleading "review" of the game, which were not really "reviews", as the conditions imposed by CD Projekt could never allow them to give a proper review.
A very sad state of affairs by both a gaming company, and all those in the business of providing "reviews".
Cyberpunk 2077, Reviews
90% - Metacritic
9/10 - IGN.com
4/5 - Eurogamer
Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 "User Scores" Metacritic now: 2.4 with 3273 having rated it.
Cyberpunk 2077 X1 "User Scores" Metacritic now: 3.0 with 1101 having rated it.
I find it ironic that games like this is about corrupt corporations, and here were have a company behaving in very similar manner.
Are we going to have more of this going forward?
You can't trust "Reviewers" to give their honest opinion, it they are hamstringed so much by the people giving them a game for "free".
CD Projekt has made 10's of millions of dollars more on this deception with copies sold to base PS4 owners and base X1 owners.
SHAME ON CD Projekt!
SHAME ON YOU SO CALLED "REVIEWERS".
