It's weird how much press cyberpunk gets. Like we get week by week updates on how the dev team feels.
Almost as if they spent 163 million dollars on marketing. That's why there's so much astroturfing and constant press releases. They're paying big money to turn the reputation around.
Yep and it worked, I bought the game on release which something out of character for me, but shelved it after a few days. Yeah PC couldn't handle it and it was buggy af but, recently gave it another shot and it's definitely improved, much more immersive and fun
Did the opposite for me. I was so tired of seeing stuff about it back on Reddit that I filtered it out. I think it made me less likely to buy the game due to exhaustion. People just wouldn't shut the fuck up about it and nothing else could get through.
I also ignored the game for a long time until the anime came out on Netflix, then i bought the same game on steam during a sale. Honestly super worth it for $30, (talking original 2077 and not the dlc) so much story side quests and content. Hours of fun and shit that's hilarious haha
Yup, I still haven't played it, but I'll probably get around to it eventually. But the hype and fallout really did deter me from playing it at all. I dislike hype, and the fallout made the issues seem worse than they were.
I fear we're in the minority.
Yeah, I've heard it's a lot better these days and I'll probably get around to it in the next couple of years (I'm sure you know how backlogs are).
