      To be fair, the “it wasn’t that bad” line is a quote from the journalist, not CDPR. What the VP of PR actually said is "“I actually believe Cyberpunk on launch was way better than it was received.” His point probably being that the game wasn’t as unplayable as the uproar would suggest if you played it on specific platforms. Obviously it was very bad on old-gen. The hate train was definitely as big as the hype train, both of which were ridiculous.

        What? I had it on PC, and there were enough bugs in that it frankly was unplayable. The reception wasn’t just a matter of “oh it has issues on PS4”, come on, and it was absolutely deserved.

          Same. Genuinely had to just uninstall it, take the L, and try months and months later. It’s a decent game, once it got the polish it needed.

        The thing is that the “older hardware” in question included the then current consoles the game was advertised and released for.

          Yeah that was shithaus. They should have just apologised and explained that it would be on the new gen hardware, and could have avoided all that.
