Because bethesda ( unfortunately ) got grandfathered in to making very good open world games FULL OF BUGS AND kinda got away with it undeservedly so ( kinda like how pokemon gets away with making mediocre games coz they were the first . like imagine call of duty ( as shit as they are ) making 2 versions of games and sellling you different weapons on each and you gottta payy 140 dollars :D if you want full content. but ppl are kinda waking up starfield was criticized more than their last games etc… ( id say cyberpunk was still worse than most elder scroll games though ( but still totally agreee with you different fan bases treat games differently both arent ok.
i think you are being hyperbolic ( although its your subjetive opinion for sure ) id give it ez 7.5 etc… and higher coz i like cyberpunk you know i enjoyed shadowruns better ofc but thats coz i like izometrik
bethesda games are known to be shit and buggy since forever and they mostly don’t even fix em after years it’s just how they operate . which isnt something ppl should normalize even sea-dogs / not developed by them - morrowind - oblivion all had these issues bethesda is really not a rolemodel on these things
they were coz cdproject red is still a company with multiple investors-buiness ppl but it still wasn’t an excuse the state game was in. it was really at a no excuse territory specially considering the scope amount of money that was spent on it . it wasn’t just outside pressure they did fuck up royally . but despite shit bugs (some very hilarious) at its core was a really good game and it showed even back then. so good on them ( despite the launch issues which are still inexcusable
