    « Questions » about « inclusivity for all » in video games are only asked by a small, very active and loud minority obsessed with tribalism and representing nothing but itself. Just thought I’d point that out.

    Huh.
    Never mind the fact that CDPR are making a lot of efforts to fix it hence the hotfixes they were dropping before Christmas.
    Not to mention, as far as I’m hearing, there is a lot of conflict from management which led to the rushing of this game initially.
    A crowd of people also sent death threats to the company which led to management freaking out.
    Moral of this comment, give the team slack. Particularly the devs, as management and the team leads stiffed them due to their panic.
    I still have a PC copy on their launcher, Good Old Games, knowing that they’ll fix this.
    I’ll be watching the news surrounding this game with great interest.

      As somebody that plays around 10 hrs of games a day I’m telling you to get a life and stop defending this trash broken game.

      Your assumption seems to be that curing illness brings about unillness.
      A better assumption might be that curing illness makes the issue vanish. You just don’t have anything to cure anymore.

    It plays flawlessly on PC. I have heard that the issues were on older gaming systems, but surely they didn’t release it for the PS3 or Xbox 360, so not sure what the “older” systems they are talking about are.

      It runs great on my Xbox One X. I barely see frame rate drops or any actual bugs.

      Flawless? Man the game does so many things wrong, starting with the AI and physics, which are almost not present in the game.

    Gaming educator not gaming expert… educators have useful experience but the title led me to expect a senior software engineer going wild on why software bugs are happening

    I’ve put almost 100 hours into Cyberpunk on my Xbox One X. I have seen little to no bugs. I am more than an expert than her on games and this game specifically. Listen to me, not whatever these people are. Also, don’t throw in that woke bullshit with gamers.

      😂😂 you don’t even have a next gen thoe so please don’t call yourself an expert

      @Mark Cast Because they’re sold out everywhere. You can’t even spell or formulate a proper sentence. Learn how to talk like a big boy before approaching me.

    @Girls Make Games: make your own game if you don’t like this one because of the gender inequality BS. The subject is on the game’s bugs, not your personal issues no one cares about.

    Girls don’t typically like programming. I feel like we have an abundance of woman storytellers. Of course anyone is going to be drawn to the storytelling and art. It takes a different breed marching to the beat of a different drum to go knee-deep in code.

    Just finished it after 70 hrs on PC. No major issues, atleast not deserving of so much hate. but oh well.

    It’s 41% not almost 50%. I would love for women to play games but don’t lie about the stats.

    Yeah it does not take a gaming expert to see that this game wasn’t ready. I mean it was the community that forced 313 Studio’s to push back the release date on Halo Infinite we don’t need no expert to clarify.

    Gaming expert? I have been playing games video games since I was 8yo and now I am pass 40yo. You want an expert gaming advice, DO NOT BUY ANY VIDEO GAME DURING A PANDEMIC.

    I’m sorry for everyone who has had a problem with the game. I haven’t had any problems beyond a couple of glitches. I think it’s a great game.

    As for men making games a certain way, that’s clearly bullsh*t. Great games about girls and women have been made by men (Life is Strange, et al.).

    Lol it’s true that more then 50% of woman play games, that’s completely different than being a gamer, by play games they are talking about phone games and flash games not games meant for gaming devices, that’s less than 20% woman.

      Video games are all video games. Videos poker is a video game. Get over it.

    Anyone else zone out and not notice the white part of the blonde woman’s shirt? It makes her head seem to big. I should probably stop smoking.
