After getting Cyberpunk on release, no way will I get this until after all the patches they put down and say they are no longer supporting the game.

That’s always good advice. Patientgamers is the way.

Two patch minimum and then consider if you can even play it now, or, if your game roster is full, put off the purchase for another year or so. If the latter, just wait for the sale.

Cyberpunk was pretty great after a year or so patching

Oh 100% I'm replaying it rn. It's a much different game after release.

I got it on Xbox One day one because I bought into the marketing. I'm a sucker for distopian Sci-fi.

I wasn't disappointed with the story, or the gameplay. I was just disappointed with something that felt unfinished. I felt like I was testing the game.

Since then I've bought and played EA games that have felt more flushed out.

Because of Cyberpunk I will never buy a game day one.

it's a complicated game and they released it to early. they did the work and made it very worthwhile...very dense with shit to do. I definitely get your point though. I didn't play it on release. The reviews were mediocre but after a year or two the reviews were great and that's when I played. I give the developers respects for not giving up on the game and making it right

It's not that complicated imo, and I'm not attempting to diminish your experience.

Though, if you played day one, the hate that was given was completely warranted. Especially if you played on old gen consoles, when they said it was compatible.

This is coming from someone that genuinely liked the game, bugs and all.

Not because I'm cynical, or had grand expectations. It was literally because I never played a game that was so buggy in my life, and I've been playing since NES.

I paid for a finished product that wasn't finished. I was lied to.

I can list the bugs and crashes I experienced, but it's well documented.

It wasn't like if No Man's Sky was over promised and it was basically empty. It was if NMS was released it being empty, and crashed every 2 seconds.
