Didn’t Cyberpunk launch to positive reviews as well? At this point it’s meaningless.
It had positive reviews on release because they wouldn’t give console copies to reviewers, and professional reviewers tended to have the beefy gaming rigs that could play it well.
Nope it didn't. It was a buggy mess on release with huge performance problems and missing features.
All true - and yet somehow, it still released to positive reviews. The consumer outcry came after release, the reviewers having gotten a tightly curated experience.
I'm pretty sure it didn't release to positive reviews.
Unless all the positivity we're talking about is journalist reviews and not people being incredibly angry at the game
In fact wasn't there a review ban on 2077's original release?
