...and that reason is accountability. Accountability here, however, refers to many things: 1.) The accountability from me, as a fan, for overhyping this game and jumping to conclusions. That's on me. 2.) The accountability from CD Projekt RED, the developers, for releasing the game before it was ready. 3.) The accountability from individual employees expressing their own disappointments in the game. Separate from its rocky launch and overhype, Cyberpunk 2077 is an amazing game that does everything its description says it does, and then some. Not just in terms of graphics, either; there are some encounters with NPC's (or other instances) where the dialogue will change depending on your clothing, cyberware, or attribute levels. There's a nightclub in the game that, when closed, will be cleaned and prepared by worker NPC's, who then go home to sleep after their shifts. Little details like these build Cyberpunk 2077 up to be a great game. Compare it to Red Dead Redemption 2, and you will be disappointed. Compare it to The Witcher 3, CDPR's last title, and you will find many improvements and enhancements in their Red Engine. But it's trendy to hate on the game currently, so unless those previously-established and extremely high expectations are somehow met, unfortunately this game will forever be tainted.
