Guess we will see more and more of such behaviors from now on. Given how the locust swarm reacted to other games recently, it's a trend (see The Last of Us 2 - hell even Game of Thrones ! Before the finale you just COULDN'T critisize anything about the series, even when it was not up to the work of GRRM like during the Dornish plot - yet lemmings did a 180 after the finale and trashed it like it was the worst series ever and entitled themselves to end the writers carreers... writers who may not be good with original ideas but who did a fairly fine job when they were adapting the source material).
No middle grounds. Either love to the death or hate it until there's nothing left of it. Just follow what some random youtuber or streamer tells you to without analyzing anything. You'll be a good consumer.
Like those stats ? First, the obvious, the numbers were higher than the Witcher 3 as most already stated and the remaining players are still far more numerous than the Witcher 3 ones.
Plus, it's the end of the holiday season for most of us so people don't stay at home to play all day long. Give it some context and you'll understand how perfectly normal and expected that is.
Third, it's a single player game, most of its players stop playing after sinking in 80+ hours, which is already a great value for a 60$ game. Holiday season gave people time to play it to see the end, so most of them already finished the game at least once.
But I guess it's easier to just post some random clickbait articles / videos, with people with not enough judgement to have their own opinions blindly following what their hear because it's fun. They're not even interested in fixing or salvaging what could be, they're just here for the giggles and that's all.
Can't wait for the swarm to move on to their next target.
It's a reality that the quality of games have went down. The gaming sphere its full of broken, unfinished, boring products. Games seems more and more full of paid walls, loot boxes, tons of paid/free Dlcs, of patches, early access, betas, alphas, yearly releases of basically same thing, with dull big empty worlds, obbsesion with mobile, online, payable customizables(500 hundreds of dollar for a thingy in Dota 2, a digital knife in Cs go(I paid 300 dollar less for my real FKMD Spartan 2 Bayonet Leonida
) , subscriptions, battle royal.
Cyberpunk 2077 its not that great though.
Maybe you haven't played older games which in my opinion beside graphics and some time gameplay mechanics were better.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Vampire Bloodlines, Amnesia the Dark Descent, Pathologic have great atmosphere surpassing and shaming many of todays including Cyberpunk 2077.
Thief 2, F.E.A.R, Max Payne 3, S.T.A.L.K.E.R(The A-Life from STALKER is one of the best AIs ever made. ) have very good AI surpassing and shaming many of todays games including Cyberpunk 2077.
Half Life 2, GTA 4 have great physics surpassing and shaming many todays games including Cyberpunk 2077.
Dragon Age, K.O.T.O.R have great RPG elements surpassing and shaming many todays games including Cyberpunk 2077.
Battlefield 3, Doom have great shooting mechanics surpassing and shaming many todays games including Cyberpunk 2077.
Its not a surprise that my favorites 4 things I played were mods made by one or several people( Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Fallout New California, The Mist, Cry of Fear) and not AAA games .
They seemed to me more polished than Cyberpunk 2077 which is a sad statement.
