Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

I'm not 100 per cent convinced we went through the full redemption arc.

I just started playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time. I think it's a great game, run great on steam deck. I think they should be praised for caring this much to keep tweaking it and making it better, rather than just abandoning it like other developers would (Starfield).

No Mans Sky was another one that people were angry about, but they turned it around and went way above and beyond what the game initialy was.

You are lucky you didnt get to play it during its first year. It definetly had a lot of issues and if you played on console you basically gave up the nice looking world that exists today.

I remember being excited for Cyberpunk 2077 with the initial release. I am damn glad I gave up pre-ordered by that point. It fell off my radar for a long while after that until a had a friend consistently say how good Phantom Liberty was. Even after that it took me a long time to get the DLC because I sure as hell wasn't going to pay more for a DLC that the base game itself.

I dunno, I didn't really follow any hype and played it on release. It was fun, ran pretty much fine and maybe I was lucky, but I never ran into any gamebreaking issues. It's miles better now than it was then, but I've never understood the huge hate it got at release.

starfield wasnt abandoned, it released a dlc last month. or are you saying that's another example of not abandoning a game?

Are we comparing quality?

Steam recent reviews:

  • Starfield 60% mixed reviews
  • Cyberpunk 2077 97% very positive reviews

What I'm saying is that one game company put in a lot more effort to fix their mistakes than the other.

I don't think the real issue with Starfield is mistakes. I think its more of a talent and game design limit.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i take it you havent really caught up with starfield and have just looked at reviews

[–] Vertelleus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you work for Bethesda?
Todd is that you?

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

the devs of cyberpunk were fans of starfield...
