surely Edgerunners isn't fair to count toward that? That was already in the works before launch, it's not as though they had a bad launch and thought "wow we should do an animated series to repair reputation"

    Pre release I was so hyped for cyberpunk, was patient and waited for reviews, so voted with my wallet and didn't buy it, and just forgot it even existed

    Watched Edgerunners animated series off the cuff and it had no business being as good as it was (same as Arcane - gj netflix)

    The next time it went on sale I snapped it up and havent regretted it one bit. One playthrough on my old hardware, obligitory playthrough to test after I got an Rtx, and another now 2.0 is out - definitely got my moneys worth

    A lot of the hate was undeserved, IMO. Besides one absolutely hilarious bug where I called my ride in an odd place, and another where part of a mission didn't trigger so I had to reload the last Autosave which was about 30 seconds back, the game ran well for me and a lot of friends at launch. And CDPR responded quickly and had patches out within a week fixing most of the gameplay affecting bugs.

    I typically judge games pretty harshly, and my only experience with CDPR prior was Witcher 3, which dropped with some bugs but was patched within a week, and really didn't understand the level of shade CDPR received.

    I had a midrange PC at the time, and only encountered a handful of bugs my first play through.

    Performance could be rough in downtown sections, but it’s was far from unplayable on day one.

    I am firmly convinced that most of the people experiencing horrible performance or mystifying bugs were attempting to play the game on their smart fridge or something. If you had a decent gaming machine from the last 7 years or so, the game ran fine.

    That being said, it should have never released on Xbox one or PS4. Those consoles were just too old and the performance wasn’t their.

    A lot of the problems and stupid glitches people had were from playing off of a hard drive. The game really needs flash storage, even if it's SATA. That should've been a recommendation from the start, if not an outright requirement like it is now with 2.0.

    I think the console releases were largely to blame for the bad rep. Esp the older gen ones. I played from launch on PC and I had a lot of bugs but nothing game breaking and it didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying myself.
