What do you think about CD PROJECT RED ?

Guys what do you think about  CD PROJECT RED? Is that company worth of gamer's thrust  and money ?

Personaly its my favorite company atm, got one of my few favorite frenchies, Witcher, and looking for their 2 new games , Witcher 3 , Cyberpunk. Their way of making games ignoring DLC , DRM b.... s.... , is a thing that i like most in them.

theyre the best developer around imo. everything theyre doing with W3 is great.. they really care about their fans... i will be one of there customers till the end

I like the company more than I like their games.

I think they are easily one of the best companies in the industry. They have made great games, The Witcher 2 was one of the best looking games, they treat their customers well, were willing to make a funny video with Angry Joe, release free content, translated some of the best games ever made for Polish gamers, had good console ports for The Witcher 2, started GOG, supported DRM free games, and are one of the very few companies that says anything sane in news stories.

CD Projekt Red represents everything right about the PC games industry.

They have done nothing but good so far. I think that it's a wonderful trend that needs to be replicated by others.

They are a great company that's focused on putting out a good product. So long as their games are good, I will continue to buy them. 

I like the company more than I like their games.

One of the companies who support their players the most. They bring out fixes straight away and add content for free. Saying that, they have had 2 games with massive bugs at launch, hopefully Witcher3 is a bit more optimized. Also, they sometimes talk out of their a$$ a bit too much. Let your product speak for you.FelipeInside

Have they ever talked out of their ass? I don't recall that ever, my friend! But if you could guide me to a video link, I would be curious to see it. I think they are one of the most humble developers out there. Most, if not all their developer diaries, interviews, previews are generally very informative videos of their games, without the marketing talking.

CDPR is one of few developers I've watched over the years where they show nothing but passion, and very little hype-PR talk and when they do, it's justified with the work, effort, and results they display.

Yeah, I remember that DRM stuff. I was really confused by that, but I'm glad they turned it around by removing it.  

Edit: Oh yeah, I remember now.. it was Atari who threw a fit and threatened to sue CDPR for removing DRM.  Atari wanted DRM.  I'm pretty sure it wasn't entire CDPR's fault.  Internal goings of business partnerhips.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Maybe "talk out of their a$$" was a bit harsh. The whole "Our game will never have DRM" and then the game came out with DRM stuff. Then sometimes I find they just read forums and what gamers complain about and then come out and bash those same things, without any backing. Sort of just to please the gamers so they can buy their products. (I realize nearly every company does this also) Don't get me wrong, I loved Witcher 1+2 and they are a great company, but like I said before, let your product do the talking instead.FelipeInside

They should change their name to something like "CD Projekt Heavenly Redeem for Gamers" x)

I think they're over-hyped for being PC orientated. The Witcher 1 was fantastic but it was buggy even with the special edition. The W2 comes out and sure enough its still hugely buggy and has lots of problems. Yes they support their games after they're released, but great developers learn from their mistakes. Bugs aside, I don't think W2 is half the game that the first one is. Lets not forget that line they took about trying to hunt down pirates either. 

A bunch of contract-breakingextortionists.

I love 'em!

I like the company more than I like their games.

They make most other devs/publishers look like lazy, incompetent, money-grubbing failures.

I like their games, too.  I don't love them or think they're great but I hope I didn't give the impression of not liking them.   As far as the whole "cinematic-lite-action-rpg" thing goes, they're probably the genres high-water mark at the moment.  Not that they have much (or any) competition, really.

Wild !!! Please make me happy.... work is crap today. Witcher 1 and 2 are RPGs ??? C'mon man.... please say YES !!!FelipeInside

I guess if push came to shove I'd probably call them more action-adventure games with some lite-rpg elements but, just to make you happy, I'll stick with the "lite-action-rpg" moniker.  I'll say this: they're closer to a RPG than something like Mass Effect and Skyrim but they're still lacking robust character development, stats, skill-checks, etc.  The Witcher games are more about player skill than character skill which, for me at least, is a big of a turn off in a RPG.  Hey, they aren't called The Twitcher for nothing.

With that said, because the kinds of RPGs I like are being made again, I don't really care what these "AAA games" call themselves any longer.  If I want to play a new RPG with a bit more meat on its bones,  I may have to be patient and wait a little while longer, but they are coming.  So, it's all good.

BTW, which ones are coming?  RPGs in your view.

In no particular order:  Chaos Chronicles, Shadowrun Returns, Wasteland 2, Divinity: Original Sin, Project Eternity, Dead State,  Torment, Age of Decadence, and some other smaller, more indie type, games like Eschalon Book 3, Underrail, (and others).  I'm sure I'm neglecting to mention some (it's been a l-o-n-g day) but that's a pretty decent start.

I'd unquestioningly follow them to the edges of the abyss.

Gotta say that the Witcher 2 was one of the best games I've played. Really can't wait to see what they do with Witcher 3!

Highly well liked by me.

To be fair they only released 2 games I know and have, the witcher 1 and 2. While I prefer TW1 I did like TW2 a fair bit.

And what they've shown and talked about of the two in the pipeline, makes me quite interrested and thrilled ^^

The support they give, and the care to fans is almost mythical. There are few games I buy outright not caring about ratings and press. CDPR is pretty much one of those rare cases.

I don't really care for the Witcher games, but when the 2nd one was released I bought 4 copies and sold 3 on ebay for a slight loss just to support them as much as I could. They're my favorite developer in the industry because they really seem to care and respect us, and I'm going to do the same with Cyber that I did with the Witcher 2. They're a solid developer and I've nothing but massive respect for them. I really hope they don't sell out to the likes of EA and get ruined, but I think they're too smart for that. MirkoS77

WOW, that's hardcore.  No way I would do that for any developer.

I won't do that for many developers, but CDPR earns it. Not only do they work very hard on their games which is apparent in their quality, they then go on to treat us very well. No DRM (they've come out and said they hate it as much as gamers do), they package their games beautifully with soundtracks, development disks, coins, maps, strategy guides, etc. I believe this all came for like $49. They come out and politely ask people not to pirate in a letter. The guys are amazing and don't treat anyone like criminals.

It pains me to know that so many would pirate games from a company that obviously cares about them and loves their jobs. I'll continue to do what I've done not only because I think DRM is a huge threat to this industry and our rights, but because CDPR deserves every cent of support because they realize this and try to fight against it. Besides, I only lost about $40 for four games so it wasn't a huge loss. MirkoS77

They are my favorite dev right now.

Can't wait for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.

Excellent  dev and awesome games. I have much respect for how much they respect us. They are exactly how ALL devs should feel about us.
