    People said good shit about cyberpunk 2077 at release.

    Take games journalism with a grain of salt. Even the largely honest ones generally only get the first “X minutes” to demo, which designers pack impressive moments into for the press, but then the rest of the game is half baked or a slog.

    Take fallout 4 as an example. They throw you into a laser battle, in full power armour, with a death claw in the first hour. Do you keep the armor? No. Do you keep going toe to toe with deathclaws? No. You get made into a minuteman bitch seconds after and then have to set up 638 settlements. Guess which part the press got to see before release?

    No preorders is always right.

      And after a lot of work it’s one of my favorite games.

      I’m not going to pre-order anything, but I’ll stay cautiously optimistic.
