I distinctly remember it taking at least until the first expansion for it to be considered one of the greats. GOTY Awards have never been a true tell for quality of a game in my opinion.
I think it took a month for it to be polished enough. I remember this because it was when cdpr spun its upcoming patches into a great pr move by calling them “free dlc”. I think it was like 11-12 weeks of continuous “dlc” and Reddit was eating that up and dunking on other devs while praising the game to be the best game of all time. I legitimately remember post on Reddit showing some glitches in the game and comments saying something like “the game is glitchy, but at least it’s just funny glitches and nothing game breaking”. Also, first expansion came out 5 months after the release, so it still tracks that the game was patched up somewhat quick.
And I’m quick to forget that Witcher 3 had some nasty bugs at launch, too. I was stuck with at that damn giant in the ice cave for like a month before they fixed it.
Super hyped, I’ve wanted a sequel with Ciri since finishing 3.
Please don’t Cyberpunk this up, CDPR…
what does that mean, cyberpunk is awesome
It took over a year before it was made into something worthwhile.
As with The Witcher 3, which is now regarded as one of the best games of all time.
Witcher 3 came out in May of 2015 and set the record for goty awards at the time. I don’t think it took that long to patch it up.

Witcher 3 was buggy, but still a great game at launch. No so with Cyberpunk.
I disagree respectfully, I personally compare them.
They will cyberpunk this, because they also witchered Cyberpunk. As in “delivered less than promised and then mostly fixed it with patches”.

Yep, it’s their business model. People were pissed about Cyberpunk because they’d only played Witcher 3 after it was complete.
