What about Cyberpunk was abysmal to you? I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the gun-play. NPC animations left some to be desired, but overall I thought the graphics were super engaging and Night City was super fun to run around in.

Not OP, I wouldn't call CP2077 "abysmal" but even looking outside the bugs the game just wasn't anywhere near the quality I expect from CDPR. The gunplay was actually pretty mediocre, "better than Fallout" is not high praise and that's the best I could give it; the environment was pretty but lacked depth; I, personally, do not care fo * The gunplay was mediocre, in my opinion. "Better than Fallout" is the rating I'd give it, and that's a "you did better coloring inside the lines than the kid with a motor disability" on my scale. * While I'm talking about gameplay, driving ranks as "Better than GTA4", and see above for where that falls on my scale. * The environment was pretty as all hell, but it felt shallow and unlived in due to a lack of unique characters that weren't copy-paste NPCs populating the world, a few fleshed out characters relating to the main story, and some uninspired side mission fillers. Witcher 3 may not be as shiny, or as dense, but the world feels more alive due to the detail put into it. * This is a personal gripe, but I really did not care for the story and ludonarrative dissonance it creates. I'm also not a fan of being given an illusion of choice, when all the endings ultimately play out the same way with a different skin (see: Mass Effect 3). There's more, but those are my biggest issues with the game, even discounting the AWFUL state the game was in for a long time.

I watched some footage of cyberpunk and the characters in it seemed so offputting that I never bought the game. Everyone in the game seemed to be some sort off money-grubbing primitive sociopath or a selfish asshole otherwise. I never bought GTA4/GTA5 for the same reason - I don't want to spend many hours in a game where I interact with characters I detest.

When Cyberpunk launched it had game breaking bugs. A lot of people got their refund and forgot about the game (and rightly so).

Everything with a woman protagonist that tries to ape male roles is probably going to be pretty bad.
