        I feel like I only ever see it's yearly major updates. Actual new content and changes that is newsworthy. not just small patches

      It's because people desperately want this game to be good and the initial release was a train wreck.

            If you bought into clearly false marketing hype I’m not sure what to tell you. It’s a solid game that’s better than any other RPG released recently (outside of maybe BG3, which is so different it barely counts as the same genre)

            It was never going to be everything promised in marketing, just like every other game released in the last 15 years.

              Whilst I'm not gonna act like the other guy. This "if you bought into the clearly false marketing then it's your fault" crap needs to die.

              It's not consumers' fault for thinking that a superman movie has a flying superman when they talk about how superman flies in the movie. It's always the companies fault. I do not think it is at all helpful to blame the consumers foe cdprs faults.

                I mean, anyone who’s ever followed video game marketing knows they’ll promise the moon and the stars and only deliver a spaceship that can maybe hit orbit.

                We shouldn’t blame consumers, but we should also be skeptical of any claim a developer makes about their game. NMS, CP2077, CoD, etc are all examples of over promise and underdeliver, and those are only the few I can think of off the top of my head. This is unfortunately the norm, not the exception. Starfield is a great example too. It fell a little flat on release because it turned out to be another generic Bethesda game, which wasn’t what the marketing promised, but is exactly what was expected by many.

                Wait for reviews from reputable sources (not ign) and make decisions then. Don’t buy into the marketing hype that is all non-committal and doesn’t promise anything.

                  i think it's weird how outright immune software companies are from false advertising claims…

                  like, in any other industry, failure to deliver promised products would lead to a lawsuit…

      …the link literally goes to CDPR’s website. Or would you rather they not post patch notes?

        I don't care if they post patch notes, I think it's strange that communities like this post them as news. It's not usual to see it. People don't post news posts about some random games small patch. But cp2042? Every patch gets an article posted in places like this

          Heh. Kinda related, but any competitive multiplayer game's community makes way more content than a post out of even one line patch notes. This is normal.

          It's cool that someone passionate enough about Cyberpunk (or CDPR themselves) posted it to drive discussion about the efforts they're making to continue to turn around that insanely horrible launch. The comments show that at least someone cared to see the post.

            This is normal.

            oh sure, for a specific community. it's not for a wider community. you don't see said competitive multiplayer game communities patch notes here, you see it in those communities
