I'm so glad I waited nearly 3 years to play Cyberpunk 2077, but I dread the fact that this is our new normal (www.pcgamer.com)

Nonetheless, it didn't really feel finished, y'know? That part wore on me, and I think is what undermined my enjoyment the most. It really was released too early.

The performance issues seem to be what every article and blog post focuses on because it's the easy thing to talk about, but I think this right here is what the actual biggest issue was and the real reason people shat on the game.

I didn't hate it by any means. And I, like you, ran it without issue. I just sort of lost interest because it was janky and super unpolished. Like I was playing an early access game. It wasn't big bugs as in the game breaking and not running. It was just lots of little annoyance that felt unfinished or half conceived, or like they didn't undergo full play testing.

The massive performance issues experienced by some just compounded those issues that existed even when it did run perfectly well.
