While I agree that they should have cancelled some of the console releases there seem to be major issues in other parts of the game that are only partially related to performance:

* Physics simulation: Cars flying through the air upon hitting pedestrians; driving through walls/lamp posts * AI: Police cars fail to pursue the player; NPCs and police "pop up" as your turn around

At this point I've enjoyed watching YouTube videos about the various bugs more than actually just playing the game.

Other games like GTA V, Skyrim or Deus Ex: Human Revolution have shown that believable world-building is possible with far fewer resources.

For 60€ players shouldn't be alpha testers for a half-baked game. It should have been obvious to CD Projekt Red that the game just isn't in a state where releasing it would be a good idea.

Yeah - I'm enjoying it and I think the world and story are really cool, but the driving physics are a bit of a bummer. It's buggy too, but not unplayably buggy. The autosave is good enough to be okay on a crash and it crashes infrequently enough to still be enjoyable.

I'm still happy I bought it and it's been fun, I think it'll get more stable over time.

On a related note, it sucks that GTA has been ruined by GTA online. 7yrs, three console generations. All the creativity that used to go into a new really great GTA game every couple years has been sucked into the boring money maker of GTA online. It's the console equivalent of in-app purchases ruining mobile games.

It's a shame low effort stuff like that makes so much money - I don't really understand what people see in it.
