- keiferski 6y agoI mean that’s kind of my point: you and your friends are more familiar with games. Cyberpunk 2077 is pretty mainstream and probably one of the most advertised and hyped games of all time. Most people buying it will not be “gamers”.
- Notorious_BLT 6y agoAs a counter-example, all of my friends who are playing/talking about the game spent the first several days after its release playing the game in all of their offtime (including some taking the day of release off) and haven't really talked about the reviews at all. We have occasionally talked about funny bugs or thing we wish were a little different (wish it would zoom out the minimap while driving, for example), but most discussion has been positive
- baumandm 6y agoAnecdotally, I don't personally remember the launch of The Witcher III, but I read a comment that indicated it was also initially buggy. I picked up the GOTY Edition some 3 years later during a frequent sale, played it, and enjoyed it. It's still a frequent top-seller on Steam according to SteamDB, and it's a 5-year old game. Unless CDPR drops the ball in a major way, I'd expect Cyberpunk 2077 to have a similarly long-tail of popularity, meaning most people who will eventually play Cyberpunk 2077 have yet to do so. There are also a lot of video game players who don't follow video game news.
