    Cyberpunk 2077 is an actually great game now. Always had the potential to be one, but the devs fucked it up. But at the core, it was still a good game. And then the devs dedicated the time needed to make it actually great. If Starfield becomes the same in a couple of years, what’s wrong with picking it up then? Just don’t pick it up right now.

      CDPR is transphobic and I won’t forgive them. They gave an award in a cosplay contest to a cis woman with a glowing dildo in her pants and posted about it on Twitter. CDPR fetishises trans bodies by using artrwork that was designed to criticise the fetishisation of trans bodies. They took a satire of transphobia and, as a company, played it straight. That’s transphobia.

      Many of the promised features still have yet to be implemented, and the physics of the game are still janky as fuck.

      Cyberpunk doesn’t get a pass just because half of the list has finally been implemented and the game has been polished……three fucking years later.

          I recall a lot of promises about how you would need to replay the game 3 times because each background you chose would completely alter the game, from beginning to end.

          Pretty sure it got the mass effect 3 ending treatment, no?

            No, the endings diverge pretty drastically. Some even have entirely different end missions.

            If you have a quote with them saying that about the backgrounds I’d be interested tho - the backgrounds are pretty much solely for some additional flavor dialogue, nothing more.

            That was a functioning feature in the game when they were working on it, that they removed because it caused issues. That was an active choice on their part - not something they lied about.
