Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: A Beautiful Night City but oh what it could have been.
IonTempted@lemmynsfw.com 1 week agoI would say that the hype got the better of me, but back then even though I wasn’t a fan of CD Project RED I knew that they were close to Rockstar in levels of quality, however I always had a bad feeling with the delays and how much they felt they needed to show from the game, I remember they were doing a LOT of livestreams back then.
Eitherway I enjoyed my stay too, It’s just the “What could have been” kills me on the inside.

It’s understandable - they came out swinging with three great games, each better received than the previous one. Combine it with other companies flailing and failing or not doing much to grab the attention away from CDPR and we have a perfect environment to get swept into the frenzy. Heck, I loved all their previous titles and was ready to break my usual stance on pre-orders until the delays started to make me question the state of things.
Even then, I feel like I was one of the lucky ones as my post 2.0 time with the game feels more buggy than my legacy experience - not to a game breaking degree mind you but it’s definitely noticeable.
I’m curious if they’ll try to make the next Cyberpunk into what they hoped to achieve with this one or if they’ll decide on a more reasonable scope instead. My heart hopes for the former but my mind expects the latter. Either way, I’ll be ready and waiting with way too many expectations (half of which will probably have no basis in reality anyway).

Very well said, I’m glad y’all upvoted and appreciated my review, and yeah it’s one of those could have been’s, the disappointment also came from the fact that I didn’t really enjoy Fallout 4’s quest and dialogue structure that I thought Cyberpunk would have so much more, and while it does in a sense it’s just background stuff.
