Objectively so with the expansion. But I didnt think it was a piece of shit at release. Not at all. Buggy? No more than a Bethesda game by comparison. The only real fuck up was that they were releasing on prior gen consoles. Instead of being genuine about it, media ran with the bigger story that the game ran like pure shit. Which was by all accounts was overwhelmingly wrong. When the game came out, I was still using the GTX 970 ... and it ran at around 40-50 FPS. Not amazing, but we were talking about a what.. a 6 or 7 year old mid-to-low range video card at that point. CP2077 is the only game that makes my strix 4090 work its ass off at the highest of settings, though.

Your memory is faulty.
It wasnt even that bad at launch(some obvious issues like Traffic/car AI, ragdoll glitches, loot bugs etc), as long as you were on PC and not one of older consoles. Which is probably all you remember, since that was the main story for the entire launch, how horrible it ran on ps4/xbox.
It is much better now, even more so with mods and the DLC. I would definitely recommend it.

I never got through the first Witcher. I tried a couple of times but I just can't do it. It's kind of fun but it just gets to be a slog. I didn't care about the story, and the game hasn't aged well. The second one was okay but it still had its problems, but neither of them are even in the same ballpark as the third.
So you're absolutely right, the company hasn't been pooping out stellar games throughout their entire time in business.

No idea either (it's not my kind of game), although it had hilariously bad bugs on console. The first expansion-slash-dlc improved it a bit, I hear, but not enough to warrant more; CDPR has stopped all work on the game. All I know for the game itself is that it has Keanu Reeves and some popular Rule34 sources.
But that glorious moment in a trailer where you spot the "now in beta" ad plastered on a giant skyscraper is chef's kiss.
Anyhow, did they finish the RSI line of ships yet they promised they'd flesh out first? Can we fly the Apollo yet?

Still a deficit of 16 million, man. They just ain't gonna make it! They need more people to donate money! How will the dude be able to afford the fuel and services for his yacht, otherwise?!12 Years and $700 Million Later, What's Going on With Star Citizen's Development?

Well I watched the 2 days presentation on this year citizencon, on fast forward.
Lots of really interesting stuff, but it’s mostly just promises as usual. The only thing of note is they have drawn a line in the sand for what will be in 1.0 at release…only 5 systems not 100 like promised during the kickstarter. Sure these are more detailed than originally promised but still 100 to 5:is a big drop off.
That being said, this game/scam really puts me in a weird place, where on one hand I want to see if fail just to witness the amazing fallout it would bring and on the other hand, I still hope it delivers because the dream it presents is amazing.
i haven’t played it in years now, but I did put around 100+ hours during the length of the project. My interest if playing it now is still pretty low to be honest. While there is a skeleton of a game playable now, there is not enough. It’s mostly a very tech demo right now with some gameplay. I’ll most likely pop in for 4.0 when it’s stable enough just to visit the new system. Fact remains that flying around planets is pretty fun.
The cutback in features and the line in the sand btw truly feels they know they’re going to run out of money and can’t sustains their current business model indefinitel. Even the most fervent followers on YouTube are tiring of the overall lack of progress. Sure theres constant little updates but as a whole the project isn’t really moving forward all that much and people are losing interest.

There's still a chance. They'll probably go under and their assets and technology will be purchased for pennies on the dollar. Then someone might make Freelancer 2.
I still want FreeSpace 3 but sadly the IP is in limbo as there's no clear case about who owns the rights to it.
