Maybe I like bad games, or maybe Cyberpunk 2077 was never quite as bad as people say - I’m not sure because I unironically love Forspoken and think it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

I did hate on the game hard at release, and a lot of it was well deserved, trying to play it on PS4 or Xbox One ( I picked it up on both ) was actually awful and unstable, I couldn’t progress past the club at the beginning of the Street Kid life path so I eventually hung it up for a while.

I bought it at launch, and it was a bad launch, reminded me of the launch of No Man’s Sky, except visually the game was stunning, and there was a lot more substance, but it was actually broken.

I ended up giving it a real try at the end of 2021 when I managed to get my hands on an Xbox Series X and it was a drastically different game. This was before the ‘next gen’ patch, but it had enough fixes and ran butter smooth on the Series X that I ended up getting enthralled.

Y’all this game is good. I had a great build that was frustratingly nerfed hard at the next gen patch ( RIP Overwatch ) but wow the story and world is so interesting, and I feel like this is this AI revolution story just waiting to be told in the background - it’s good shit.

I haven’t played since the next gen patch, so all that will be new to me along with Phantom Liberty so I’m looking forward to a drastically different game than I played a year and a half ago.

I think CDPR finally did it, or will have did it upon release.

I can’t wait.

    I didn’t take part in the pre release hype and bought it on sale around a year ago. CP2077 is a damn solid game from my perspective. Interesting setting, mechanics, and story.

    I’m looking forward to playing Phantom Liberty and want to see a sequel down the line.
