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.
