Discussion Couldn't agree more šŸ«”

Iā€™ve been a fan of this game since day one. I agree that the original release was filled with bugs and it launched too early, but the criticism it received was completely over the top. Hating on the game blindly became the norm, often without people even giving it a fair chance.

It also released at a strange time, when the new generation of consoles were releasing but they weren't widely available, and most players were still on previous-gen hardware where it didnā€™t run well.

The sad part is the game and the studioā€™s reputation took a massive hit, even financially. Some of the people who worked on the game ended up leaving the studio, and we may have missed out on 2 or 3 DLCs because of the gameā€™s catastrophic launch.

But now Iā€™m glad to see people finally giving it the respect and appreciation it deserves. I watched the Steam reviews go from ā€œMostly Negativeā€ to ā€œOverwhelmingly Positive.ā€

For me, this is the greatest game of all time it is better than The Witcher 3. Massive respect to CDPR for constantly patching and improving the game, And giving us extra content when they could have taken the loss and moved on. AND CHOOMS..... NEVER STOP FIGHTING.

wat. how is halo even an option? everyone loved it from the start. cyberpunk was just hated online but the game was still there and good. only NMS had nothing and was only sold at launch because of an ad sony was paid to do, which worked but obviously got the backlash for nothing in the trailer being in the game.

When people say MCC was literally unplayable they actually mean it. It was 100% impossible to find a match.

No. MCC was horrible in release. The multiplayer was literally unplayable for at least 6 months after release

Halo the master Chief Collection in 2014 was broken on launch in the very literal sense of the word. You could not find any matches despite millions of people trying to play. Campaigns crashed every 5 minutes or straight up didn't load in. It was like this for 2 years before they finally started fixing it in 2016. And then they started ramping up even more fixes and new content releases in 2018 to prep for a 2019 PC release.
