Don't bite off more than you can chew with the sequel, or you're just going to repeat history. I liked the game since launch, but it was still very evident CDPR wanted to do more than they realistically could while still actually releasing a product.
Great vision, perhaps too much; but poorly managed their time and resources. Stretched too thin on portability to every available console at the time of release. Constant changes of scope. Etc.
- They should just focus on PC and then port to console when that is done IMO
  
  Just do like Baldur's Gate and release a portion as early access, then release the full game on all platforms when it's ready. Ideally skip early access and just release when it's actually ready, but the early access option is acceptable.
- It may run properly on mid tier NVidia cards by then!
I’d say they’ve really got the game to a good place at this point. In ways it still isn’t perfect, but if it had been like this at release then people would’ve absolutely loved it.
It’s something I think about for quite a lot of open world games, but it always seems like a waste that companies just move on from building up a game.
Really feels like they could spend years just adding to the world they’ve built.
- Gamers proved to them that it didn’t matter if the game sucked on launch. Why keep building free updates when you can dump money into a new game? Which will most certainly be broken at launch again. Preorders need to stop being a thing and then we won’t have this type of mess anymore.
  
  I haven't pre-ordered since Stellaris. I bought in the launch week when I was sure that the game of desire was actually playale and fun.
  Preorder FOMO shit can miss me, I have gacha games for that.
- That's why I was excited about the online partffew years ago - imagine gtav but in night city, backed by CDPR? If done well it's be printing money for them and guarantee constant updates and improvements for us. Unfortunately it just wasn't meant to be it seems :/
generally game studios do choose to begin their next game after releasing their previous game from open beta, yes.
So when's the next sale for ps5? I still won't pay full price, but might pick it up for $40 or so.
- Same, waiting for a discount on the definitive edition or whatever before finally picking this up.
