More concerning than Bethesda's decision to withhold early review codes from certain outlets is how heavily some sites are relying on the game to drive their business.

Just in case you don't know, CP2077 is great now, and set to get better when the dlc drops soon.

I really should go back to playing CP, I already enjoyed my time with the release Version.

But I also had a great PC and managed to not hit many Bugs during my playthrough, so I understand that my experience was not a common one.

That happened for me too. Great 2077 experience through and through on good hardware with RT+DLSS. Had a couple bugs but nothing unsolvable like a puzzle with some saving involved, and they were things like scanning one thing early stops a scan later. Which is an unintended pretty cool mechanic lol, if only we'd been told it was a mechanic at the time.

Game got even crazier looking in recent updates and with better hardware, but I 100%ed it early and I haven't done another playthrough since so I've been at the endgame through all the updates lol

I actually played through it last month and it blew me away. I cannot wait to do a second play through when phantom liberty comes out! It was so so good.
