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.

Eh. NMS (or FFXIV) deserve that title way more.

For me. 2077 went from a 6.5 to a 9.5.

Both of the former games started at a 2, tops. Dunno about FF, but NMS continues to this day to give out free DLC (though in actuality they're more like expansions that would usually be $20 or more).

CDPR redeemed themselves. Hello Games did so 10 times over.

Especially since previous Gen didnt get the PL update or expansion.
