As a long-suffering Bethesda/Bioware fanboy, all I can say is "Welcome to my world." Grab yourself a drink, pull up a chair, and we'll compare physics bugs and AI scripting snafus like ol' soldiers swapping war stories.

What's that? "CDPR isn't as bad as those guys?" HA! You ever see the release-version of The Witcher 3? The difference between CDPR and Bethesda is the former responds to fan anger and works to raise the bar, the latter just makes jokes at E3 about how everything they release is a mess and that the fans will fix it post-release. It also helps that CDPR's reputation largely rests upon it putting out games so infrequently, most people develop amnesia about how bad the last one was so all they remember is what it became after years of patching.

Honestly, I expect CP2077 to get a lot of well-deserved stick for taking almost a full DNF development cycle to see release and then being a bug-riddled mess, but for it to bounce back once the bug-fixers go in hard and kill anything with more than two legs. The end result being a game that is viewed as good, but falling short of the mark that was set by both hype and fan anticipation alike.
