Some really scummy stuff coming out in the last couple of days.
CDPR basically embargoed reviews and didn't give anyone a copy of the PS4/Xbox copies for review, they knew there were a lot of issues but pushed it out anyway, because gotta make that holiday season money.
Now they're telling everyone they can have refunds, but never communicated with Sony or Microsoft. I don't know about MS, but Sony will 100% not refund you, so you can email CDPR and you might get a response in a couple of weeks, probably an apology but still no refund. To just tell everyone they can have a refund without doing any leg work with the other companies involved is a joke, basically just trying to make themselves look better and pushing the flak to someone else. I'm fairly certain anyone that sold you a physical copy also won't refund you.
I get that games are expected to be buggy at release these days (as much as I hate the practice) but there are plenty of things in this game that would've been picked up with even basic play testing, so they must've known about a lot of the issues.
Also, sounds like the working conditions and crunch has been ridiculous, financial greed is killing product quality in the gaming sector. CDPR are based in Poland and it sounds like a lot of their staff, after the success of Witcher 3 have left to go to American/Western European companies where they get paid 3x as much, so they've lost a lot of talent.
Played quite a bit, it's enjoyable as a linear experience if you stick mostly to quests etc, but the AI is embarrassing, the police spawning is a joke and the fact they can't drive is just incompetent. It's so easy even on the hardest difficulty because lots of enemies will just let you pour bullets into their head without reacting and tech weapons, you can shoot through infinite amounts of walls. I just did a mission where you have to follow a car, and the scripted cars coming out of every junction pulling in front of you just feels so tedious, especially combined with the fact that the collision mechanics in cars are terrible. As a visual and storytelling experience it's great, but the gameplay underneath it is very weak in places.
