It'll probably be playable in 6-12 months. Par for the course for modern games
That along with several other things is why I haven't bothered getting it yet.
New games are fucking massive these days. I still remember when BladeRunner came out for PC in the 90s and it being a "big thing" it was a whole gig in size! Of course there will be bugs in general now when you upscale the sheer volume of data in play. Day 1 patches are always a thing now but for something as over-hyped as CP2077 it seems to have been pushed out far sooner than it should have been.
Witcher 3, the game CDPR are known best for, that launched on PC, was a buggy mess to put it lightly. Armour side quests flat out couldn't be done and were later "patched" by simply given an option to kill a golem and get the armour piece in question. There's even a note near Kaer Morhen from "CDPR" apologising for all the bugs the game had originally.
That launching on PC thing. Witcher 3 has since been released on the Switch. It would be insulting to potatoes to call it potato quality it's that much of a downgrade. But then, what the fuck did they expect going from actual PCs to the Switch?! Now CP2077 launches on console so doesn't even have the safety net of years of fixes to offset the drop in quality.
CDPR deciding to piss away goodwill with both the changing dev team and attempts to go woke. Even the Witcher 3 got flak because a game made by Poles, inspired by a book series written by a Pole, that heavily draws on Polish and Slav folklore is mostly... filled with people that look like Poles!
I'll see how everything unfolds drama wise as well as DLC wise given CDPR's track record there hasn't been as shit as others, but I'm in no way using my enjoyment of the Witcher games [and I do mean all 3 of the core ones as many 'Witcher [3] fans' seem to be W3 exclusive normies] as a reason to feel compelled to consoom their next product.
