It appears to fall short of its marketing promises, though. An alleged Geekbench OpenCL listing revealed the G100 achieving a score of only 15,524, a performance tier that effectively ties it with the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, a card released in 2012
It’s nowhere near that, as tests show.
That’s just a flat out lie or a delusion.
The most famous example is how “the game was supposed to be like GTA” some people cry over. Source for that? A interview they did where they stated “we want to be more like Rockstar”. The interview was about development cycles, had nothing to do with the game itself, but one YouTuber saw it and made a video about how “Cyberpunk is going to be GTA in the future, expect bowling”, shit like that.
It was never supposed to be anything than it isn’t.
I heard that argument bunch of times, someone even showed me a trailer that supposedly showed these “missing features”. The stuff missing? Wall-running and ripping off turrets. That’s it. That’s literally it. They gave a really good explanation as to why wall running is missing, it’s also a flavour feature, not like adding it back in would change the gameplay significantly, so people crying over that is just… weird to me.
The fact is that Cyberpunk was a victim of some of the most ridiculously over-the-top hype in gaming history. And when the game released in the state it did (which - to anyone who’s ever followed anything released by CDPR - was the most benign and obvious thing in the world), people lost their minds, because they were expecting The Gaming Messiah to show up and End All Gaming Suffering. Just stupid from the top down.
