You say it was “fine” at release and the only praise you have is how it was written?

It was fine at release. One of the best written games ever.
Some people enjoy whinging more than playing games.

English isnt my first language but isnt “fine” the same as “just ok” as in “it wasn’t a bad experience”. I don’t think that requires additional praise.
My experience with cyberpunk at launch is that i was very disappointed but it was very much “fine”.
Yes there where alot of bugs but sadly enough that has become the norm at launch. It was hardly more buggy then the average Bethesda game.
The writing and quest are actually amazing. The gameplay loop remains fun.
The biggest issue was and remains cut content and oversold hype. If marketing had not lied so much people would have treated it like every other game.
I find starfield currently to be exactly as polished and buggy as cyberpunk was. I am equally disappointed by some limitations. But I actually stopped playing starfield in favor for replaying cyberpunk because the storytelling is so much more interesting.

English is my first language and I think you have a point there. A game can be just mediocre with quality writing being an exception.

Yes that's what fine means.
Bethesda writing could even ruin a competently made game. If they were ever allowed to touch one of those by mistake.

Oh so my savefile that’s locked in a conversation with no ability to progress forward or exit the conversation is fine?

Guess it taught you the importance of backup saves. In certainly fine with it.

Right like reloading the save and trying again wasn’t the first thing I tired

They mean keep a few backup save files at all times so you can jump back in increments. I agree it’s good practice but it’s not really a helpful response in this instance and doesn’t excuse the bug.

That's not what a backup is.

I played it day 1, it was great. Not sure if I'm going to go back and replay it, though.

I'm planning on checking out the update on my old maxed out character, then doing a fresh playthrough for PL.

Meh my favorite was the guy in the beginning who dies really fast. The other characters I didn’t really care for except the lesbo girl and the other girl. I don’t really remember any of the other characters besides Johnny.

My opinion of the typical gamers opinion is not high.
