    As someone who doesn’t game too much, it’s been incredible to watch this particular game go through the ups and downs of immense hype, a disappointing launch, and finally this redemption arc it’s been on. I don’t feel like that happens very often.

      I can’t think of a single other game that has redeemed itself nearly as well. The dev’s over promised in the beginning but they sure as shit weren’t grifting.

      Is Cyberpunk 2077 good now? I remember Cyberpunk fanboys coping with the experience of NMS, saying that maybe in the next update their game will be good too.

        Honestly, kinda

        The base story is still dogshit, but years of updates have added a fair bunch of missing QOL features, and while Phantom Liberty is lib as fuck, it’s a pretty fun story

        Firmly in a “pick up both on sale” category for me

          Phantom Liberty

          the best bit was absolutely demolishing a battalion of black ops rent-a-fash in the end because Songbird is definitely going to get to the moon, you motherfuckers.

          imagine siding with the future turbo feds of FBI + CIA combined fash-bash
