If you thought it was going be good on a console after all the shit that went on leading up to its release.. you don't know or understand "console releases" ...
im not sorry.
Tempest...
And yes, I am one of the lucky ones who played it on PC, but I also expected it to run fine on this-gen console, even at medium-level performance.
You know why?
Because they were released for those bloody consoles.
So yeah, they have to wait for it to be patched, but they shouldn't *have* to be when the next-gen consoles are working well enough as it is with the same exact code. It's like they built those ports for the next-gen consoles, even though the labels on the top of the box are for this-gen. And don't even start with the "pro version consoles work fine" because A) Not last I checked; and
And yes, I will admit that I do report that it runs fine on my PC. However, I also acknowledge that it should be running fine for everyone's system of choice, and also to assure people that, yes, when this gets corrected (because it will be) it will be a great gaming experience for everyone.
Brb, making a call to Trophy World. Gonna have to buy in bulk I guess.
EDIT- Also, I miss Charles.

Soooo...red-haired forum warrior's correspondence is falling on deaf ears.
But yes, the console release leaves a lot to be desired (and frankly, even if you have a $1000-GPU, you're running into issues on the PC side).
This... will be good.
My acorn is augmented.
It was a real effort of restraint not to populate it with some dialog from this thread.
Complain about the trophy, and then take the trophy back.
Now that the dude has a speech bubble with nothing in it, the trophy becomes even more fitting in a literal sense.
Reach exceeded their grasp.

They’re at least owning the screwup and working hard to fix it or provide a refund.
It just isn't clear how long it would've taken to "fix" it. I could see a delay of, for example, almost another year really hurting their actual corporate worth--in a way releasing a buggy title finally wouldn't, unfortunately.
Still, it's amusing that one of the bugs people have been seeing is the male PC's dick clipping through their pants. Don't let the holographic pants trend happen, everyone!
Feels like "better to ask forgiveness than permission." But beyond bugs and running like shit on last gen consoles, features they claimed were in the game just aren't there. Like NPC behavior they claimed some grandiose "they live their lives without you" if their life is just drinking in a bar sure, but that's fairly cynical even for the polish.
It really almost feels like a no man sky type situation for what was promised to what was delivered.

... why did they render your character's penis?
All characters have genitals unless you choose for them not to.
For 99% of games it literally would not matter beyond jerking the player off. Like I'm so glad they had a genital slider when everything else in the game runs as fantastic as it does.

What the fuck is a "joke"?!
That doesn't make sense. Next you'll claim all humans have genitals even if I haven't seen them.
No, it's not a clipping error irl. You'll get arrested.
Restart meaning completely redo his character twice, not just restart the game. Its why he said he wanted to check out the other origins.

Real answer? Because after the backlash against their transphobic marketing they wanted to continue their "inside joke" of being transphobic by letting you manipulate genitals, but only in a way that fits into the cis-het normative power fantasy and is actually kind of an ongoing trend of being regressive toward gender in their version of the cyberpunk future.
See also: lots of misogyny, sex work handled poorly, and lots and lots of dildos everywhere.
Presumably for any scenes involving nudity, though I haven't come across any yet.
Enthusiasm from the fan base. It's not like there aren't various secondary sexual characteristics made pretty f'ing obvious (and for starters, you can see them in the mirror, which isn't always possible for your crotch).
When they first announced they'd be modeling genitals, people here were very much in approval (though I'm guessing they thought there would be more than 3 options). I thought it was tacky, but I assumed that meant I didn't "get punk", what with me being more of a post-cyberpunk guy anyway.

If Todd Howard put Cyberpunk 2077 into market in this state, it would have been hailed as a triumph that Bethesda could release something with so few game-crippling bugs as to be relatively playable.
