Yes, the copy-paste technique was used at least nine times between 2007 and 2015. The first part told the story of – however incredible it may seem – about a middle-ages terrorist who murdered Christian crusaders. However, he claimed that he was doing it for the right cause, and it was not about Islam or Christianity at all. If Assassin's Creed and Cyberpunk started development at the same moment, we'd be playing Syndicate by the time we got the Polish hit.
I don't want to be mean or anything. Quite the opposite: I think it's great that CDPR released three Witcher games, rather than nine. Or eight Witchers and one Cyberpunk. Quantity does not always go hand in hand with quality, and we're all very aware of that.
If I had used the time, I spent playing the Assassin's Creed series to build a house, I would have had two large estates by the sea and a manor in the mountains. I'd spend my days walking around lush gardens, wearing a jabot shirt. I'd probably be a lot happier than I was after trying to find all the collectibles in Assassin's Creed III. But seriously: these games have a lot of great moments and their tons of reasons to play them. I just think there has been a few games too many in the series. It's just become an annual event, which seemingly harmed the quality.
Did you know that...
Duke Nukem Forever was not created faster than Cyberpunk 2077. It took Gearbox Software 14 years to develop it. It was announced in 1997, and released in 2011, after a lot of legal perturbations, changes of engine and shifting concepts. This production turned out a spectacular flop and we remember it today as the game that spent the longest in development.
