It's not. People around here are jumping on the hate wagon because there are women and minorities in the game. Unlike pol, the hatred is unironic.
The regular gaymerz are pissed because the game is buggy as hell right now, though the bugs are more amusing than game breaking. I played for over 100 hours since launch and had only one CTD in that time.
Poor gamers are pissed because their potato pcs can't run it at a fluid144fps on ultra/psycho settings at 4k resolution with all raytracing enabled. Someone on the steam boards bitched that their 1060 and ryzen 1700 wasn't enough and that meant the game was poorly optimized. I shit you not.
The game is next gen and that means it requires a beefy pc to run smoothly at max settings. Aside from the typical launch day problems though, the game is excellent. The writing is great, side quests are fun, combat is good, and the progression system is pretty much a 1 to 1 copy of the tabletop game. If I had to compare it to anything, I'd say cyberpunk married the slick presentation of a modern AAA game with the reactivity of Deus Ex. The first one.
TLDR - a lot of people are whining about shit that'll get fixed. The game works and it's nowhere near broken.
Hey I'm not a shill and I'll say its not more broken than Forza. On PC, console is and that's inexcusable. But its literally no more buggy than a standard Bethesda game, and people taught the industry that was okay by buying Skyrim 4 times despite being a broken mess.
There are many valid criticisms of the game. Its for sure no more than an 8/10 once all bugs are fixed (assuming future patches) on its best day and probably a solid 6 or 7 otherwise.
But the meme of how bad it is has far and away eclipsed reality.
Well. I bought Skyrim on PS3, which was broken worse than any of the worst parts of Cyberpunk by a long shot and got abandoned in that broken state.
Yet people still buy Bethesda games and their rep is more of a funny joke than serious criticism. Despite their games actually needing mods to be fixed. Even with Fallout 76 and ALL of the things that they did with that game, people are still going to buy Elder Scrolls 6 without a single doubt in their minds.
I didn't buy the game, but my roommate did because he is a slut for these games (bought Outer Worlds full price too) so I've actually played it out of boredom. Its nowhere near as bad as anyone is saying on PC (again, the console version is inexcusably bad). Its Fallout 3/NV in the future instead of the desert, with the same amount of bugs and iffy RPG elements.
I've never really liked CDPR, I thought Witcher 3 was awful. I don't even really like this game, its a "good enough to kill time" tier. I just don't like misinformation and bandwagons.

Have you ever made a post here that doesn't blame women for your fucking failure of a life?
