(First off, the last gen versions were a shit show and I fully believe CDPR should have bit the bullet and cancelled those preorders. That was a failure at the high levels, not with the devs. This is about the PC version:)

Hey yo, I'm one of those idiots that gave it a good review, and that was day one. Yeah, it had a bad launch, but I'd argue it was no worse than No Man's Sky, or Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, or The Witcher 3. All of the above are some of my favorite games of all time.

If you don't like the core game, cool. Agree to disagree. But the things that people love about the game now have been in there since 1.0. Sure, there are genuine criticisms to be made, but most of the hate this game got has either been patched out or was pure bandwagon hate to begin with.

The point I'm making is that they had no excuse to release it in that state in the first place unlike hello games with no man's sky which was also a horrible launch.

On old gen consoles, yes. On PC, it was merely a rough launch, not the industry shattering event it was made out to be.
