I’ll skip it cause I still don’t trust that it’s good and never will, they lied already why would I believe them now? There are other better games out there
Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Has Finally Hit Overwhelmingly Positive On Steam

Replayed it and large parts of the DLC when 2.0 launched. It really is pretty good now.

for sci-fi RPGs this is currently the best available, period.
there are other good, even great ones, but CP2077 takes top spot, and quite easily.
“they lied already”
…and then spent 3 years delivering nothing but excellency, reworking major parts of the game, improving QoL features, listening to community feedback, adding many often-requested features, and being all around excellent devs.
but they didn’t live up to expectations ONE TIME, so now they’re bad forever.
seriously…get over yourself; you ARE missing out on a great experience!
if you’re sceptical, which is, despite what i wrote above, fair, wait for a major discount (easter is next on steam, i think) and get it at like -70% off.
try it out for less than 2h (that’s the cutoff for a steam refund), and see if you like it.
but don’t do this dogmatic “if things are bad once they are forever bad” thing. it keeps you from seeing how things evolve over time, and specifically keeps you from seeing improvement over time.

I have this weird thing that when I’m lied to, I won’t trust you again, weird huh? Sure I’ll play the game in 2025 but I won’t pay for it.

They probably assumed from Witcher 3 it was mostly fine. I played a fair number of hours on PC, I think the second (maybe 3rd) time it crashed for me was when I was playing the dlc intro, and I don’t think I noticed any horrible bugs. Now I’m not saying they weren’t there of course but this may have all been that reviewers saw as well. Also I think PC was much better on launch than the console so that may have played a big part in it.
I never read many reviews ahead of time to know what promised features were excluded but I’m sure there were a number, so that should have sunk the score noticably.
I would say it’s easily a great game now, but mostly I love the attitude and aesthetics of cyberpunk (the genre) and this was one of the recent games that did that part right.

Probably because not everybody experienced bugs. The only bug I ever saw in this game was one single time when an NPC walked into the ground. Other than that, I never had any issues of any kind.

The bugs were not experienced by everybody. On my PC I ran into no critical bugs and very few minor bugs on launch week. I was definitely lucky, though.
It’s possible many review sites were running rigs similar to mine. I personally had a blast with it even at launch and played it 3 times in the first 3 months. Though, it’s definitely much better now, it wasn’t a bad game on its own before, if not for the stability issues must people had.

Just the lack of features that were promised in promotion material before launch and the catastrophic, barely even existing police feature were so embarrassing.
My rig at launch also included 32 GB RAM, a 5800X and a 3080, which was top notch when the game launched, yet I happened to run into two game breaking bugs were I couldn’t progress further into the story. It all seemed very wonky.

It’s interesting because I didn’t have any game breaking bugs and I had a 5950x and that’s the only difference to what you’re describing.
That launch was a serious YMMV situation.

It’s not just your rig, I played it on a Lenovo Legion 5 with a mobile RTX 3050 with 4gb of VRAM, and 16gb of RAM. I never had any issues, and my laptop is pretty unimpressive as far as gaming machines go.
