"I actually believe Cyberpunk on launch was way better than it was received, and even the first reviews were positive," he concludes. "Then it became a cool thing not to like it.

How are you planning to fix your image when you're still saying shit like this?

I don't think he's completely wrong. A lot of people felt similarly. I know SkillUp felt similarly that if you had a really good PC and could overlook the (unforgiveable, admittedly) bugs, it had a lot going for it.

I knew almost nothing about the game and went into it completely without assumptions or preconceptions. I played it immediately at launch on XBone and didn’t stop for a few hundred hours of total game time. I was completely blown away.

Did it crash here and there? Was it lurchy and buggy? Did bikes sometimes get stuck in the pavement like it was sand? Did you wind up smashing an unconscious person’s head through the earth a la “Rock Bottom” every 4 or 5 times you tried to be sneaky? Yeah.

Despite that, was it one of the greatest games I’ve ever played? Fuck yeah.

People had genuine problems and a game should never launch in the state that CP77 was in, but I completely agree with him that it became cool to rip on the game.

Same for me, basically played it for 100 hours straight with as little sleep as possible… yeah it was buggy and the story was rushed in some places, but the overall experience was great for me.

nope. had a good pc, definitely not worth it.

Don't get me wrong, it was a few hours of fun for me and I got to enjoy the storyline. but then, nothing. the content came to an abrupt halt, no reason to keep going. not even a hundredth of the content of the Witcher.

ngl I had flashbacks to watch dogs 1. it was a great game with a great concept, but it had a dead stop and then it just ended. and just like watch dogs 1, everyone was hating on it.

yeah sure, some ppl jumped on the hate because it was popular, but let's not distract from the fact that both of those games felt like someone snake oiled their way into a release with a half finished game, and that's bad.

Idk personally I loved it. Played it on top end hardware from day one and only saw 1 or 2 game breaking bugs in my first playthrough. I feel like they really put a lot of effort into not just the main story but side quests and the world. So many little things to pickup on and discover. As someone who is not versed on the original lore, it was super interesting to find out little nods to characters and stuff. Can't wait for Phantom Liberty!
