    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.

      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.

        What did CDPR themselves promise that isn’t in the game?

          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.
