Playing through Cyberpunk 2077 again, I still don't get why it cops so much hate.

It truly is one of the best games ever made, it just had a rocky start like nearly every single open world FPS RPG out there. Think of games like Skyrim and Fallout 3 and 4.

Yes, there were problems with Cyberpunk, but the game systems, the city itself, are all spot on.

Sometimes games get hate long after problems are fixed, for no good reason; sometimes it's the opposite #Gaming

While not dissimilar to other releases, it was more severe in the case of 2077

it was rushed to release at a time that coincided with a growing awareness of crunch in the industry, and cdpr received a fair bit of scrutiny from that awareness.

While it was quite buggy on PC, it was barely playable on console at launch and was pulled from the PlayStation store as a result, so the majority of players had a pretty poor first impression (console unit sales tend to dwarf sales on PC).
