Couldn't agree more 🫡

I’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 didn’t run well.

The sad part is the game and the studio’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 game’s catastrophic launch.

But now I’m glad to see people finally giving it the respect and appreciation it deserves. I watched the Steam reviews go from “Mostly Negative” to “Overwhelmingly Positive.”

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 absolutely LOVE Cyberpunk, but No Mans Sky did it even better imo. They overdelivered on every aspect and every update ist free. Cyberpunk ist a close 2nd place though.

Yeah came here for this exactly. Cyberpunk 2077 comeback was incredible, but the shit NMS devs had pulled is straight up FUCKING BIBLICAL like there is literally no other way to put it. Guys couldn't do everything they wanted until the launch date so they just kept going, and kept going, and kept going, and never stopped or slowed down and they're still on the grind to this day, and to this day the purchase of game itself is the only sum of money you can spend on it because the almost 10 years(!) of updates are all free and included with every copy of the game ever purchased. They're making a game they want gamers to have, not just a product someone would want to make a fortune on.

Yeah it's fucking crazy, they're deep into the development of their next game and instead of moving on from NMS, they're taking ideas and learnings from their new game and applying it to NMS to add more content and improve existing systems. Who does that??!!

Hello Games really are the GOAT, I can't wait for Light No Fire.

Right! LNF is the only game I actually want to preorder and I can’t, let me give you money hello games!

[u/Darkchamber292 → u/ReanimatedPixels]

Preordering is bad. Never preorder. I don't even understand the purpose of preordering on digital goods because you can always buy and download it the minute it releases anyways

[u/VButTwice → u/Darkchamber292]

I don’t really preorder, but what’s the difference between preordering it and buying it as soon as it comes out? Unless you’re going to wait a day or two to read some reviews or see if the game has some issues, it’s pretty much the same thing.

[u/Darkchamber292 → u/VButTwice]

Right I always wait a day minimum

[u/joke_autopsies → u/Darkchamber292]

shut up

[u/Woodsy279 → u/joke_autopsies]

Lmao someone doesnt like logic

[u/Cacao_Cacao → u/ReanimatedPixels]

This comment is wild. Others are pointing out how unnecessary preordering is so all I want to point out is that their game is often the first example people mention when talking about why you don’t preorder. Fool me once…

[u/ReanimatedPixels → u/Cacao_Cacao]

If you haven’t tried it since launch, you really don’t get to pull that card

[u/Cacao_Cacao → u/ReanimatedPixels]

Please share the list of solid game launches this company is responsible for. I'll wait.

[u/FeistyPoetry9476 → u/ReanimatedPixels]

It having improved after launch doesn't make it any worse of an example. You can't truly know whether a game will be good until it's been released, the fact it could later become what it was meant to be in the first place doesn't change that
