Maybe I've forgotten a lot of the promises about it, because it launched barely playable and now it's fine, runs well and is a decent game.

    Here's a couple more random ones

    There will be over 1,000 Cyberpunk 2077 NPCs with daily routines

    Generally, we're trying to make the NPCs very believable, we want it to feel like this is a world where people actually live in, which would make players want to spend time in the world as well...If you followed someone for fifteen hours, you might see the same thing repeated a few times. But we're trying to make them do interesting stuff. Again, I think the best comparison would be Novigrad from The Witcher 3.

    Or what about environmental hazards that would be life threatening to the player? They said there'd be acid rain and other negative weather effects that were life threatening.

    There's so much shit like this lol. Anything people spoke to them about they echoed back that it was absolutely in the game. Not once in the entirety of the interview process before game launch did a single developer attempt to set expectations at any kind of reasonable level, I'm sure they were told never to tell people that X wasn't in the game, so they just always said it was. When you extrapolate this out over all the interviews they did they said A LOT of shit that isn't actually a thing at all.
