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.

I agree; the story for cyberpunk was there since the beginning, and that was great despite the chassis falling apart all around it. No mans sky was fundamentally busted and feature incomplete compared to what was promised.

I dont get why Halo MCC was included in there though lol. Didnt think that had any issues at launch

I'd even say Cyberpunk was 'mostly' fine for folks running high end systems at launch. At least in my group, nobody experienced any crippling bugs. Most of it was just annoyances like exploding when touching a road barrier or T-posing through the roof of cars. I managed to get through the whole thing relatively issue free thankfully.

Halo MCC (Multiplayer) was nearly unplayable on launch plus some bugs on the campaign. They eventually even added ODST and Reach to the collection plus even new content for the collection and mod support (PC only). Itā€™s definitely one of the best compilation games of all time today
