    I'm a patient gamer so I don't normally preorder, but I made an exception with CyberPunk as a tribute for paying $5 for Witcher 3 (which was my first game of the series, I went in blind and I couldn't believe how good it was).

    I wasn't even mad with the shitshow but I decided wasn't going to play the game in that state.

    Fast forward a few years, the game runs almost 3 times as fast (went from 25 to 70 fps on my computer) and they fixed a lot of problems people were complaining about for the DLC release. Now it's ripe.

    Patient games keep being right

      Pretty much the same story here. Finally playing it now, and I can barely put it down. It's story is nearly as good as W3, and my car doesn't even take random hard lefts off the road for no reason whatsoever in this one. Actually, gameplay is a massive step up in general.

        I'm glad to hear the game's gotten much better! I purchased the game on sale but have left it sitting in my Steam library for a little while, knowing that it is playing much better means I'll move it higher on my playlist.

          Well, I meant a step up from the overall quality of Witcher 3. But, it is really smooth and solid combat with a real variety of styles/builds. I'm digging katana/guns/mantis blades/sandi. And I know the 2.0 skill revamp made a huge and smart impact on the gameplay.

      It’s because people weren’t patient that they were able to fix it

      But it still isn’t the game they marketed it as

      I pre-ordered Elden Ring for a slight discount off of the launch price. No regerts whatsoever about that one. Best game of the 21st Century.

      But yeah usually I get games well after launch on sale. Starfield looks cool but they can eat a $70 bag of dicks before I pay that much.
