Cyberpunk 2077 was released in such a horrible state that most might have assumed it was forever dead in the water. Look at it now.

Replayed it and large parts of the DLC when 2.0 launched. It really is pretty good now.

I still don't understand* how nearly every gaming magazine could give this game 90+ at launch with that many (partly critical) bugs and features missing that were announce before launch.

*Well yes, I do. It's "write something good or you don't get samples the next time"

I’ll skip it cause I still don’t trust that it’s good and never will, they lied already why would I believe them now? There are other better games out there

for sci-fi RPGs this is currently the best available, period.

there are other good, even great ones, but CP2077 takes top spot, and quite easily.

"they lied already"

...and then spent 3 years delivering nothing but excellency, reworking major parts of the game, improving QoL features, listening to community feedback, adding many often-requested features, and being all around excellent devs.

but they didn't live up to expectations ONE TIME, so now they're bad forever.

seriously...get over yourself; you ARE missing out on a great experience!

if you're sceptical, which is, despite what i wrote above, fair, wait for a major discount (easter is next on steam, i think) and get it at like -70% off.

try it out for less than 2h (that's the cutoff for a steam refund), and see if you like it.

but don't do this dogmatic "if things are bad once they are forever bad" thing. it keeps you from seeing how things evolve over time, and specifically keeps you from seeing improvement over time.

I have this weird thing that when I’m lied to, I won’t trust you again, weird huh? Sure I’ll play the game in 2025 but I won’t pay for it.
