>>714263897 (OP)CDPR was a rising star, so they had a genuinely massive hypetrain that could bulldoze past the launch issues and cultivate a player base.
To contrast, Bethesda have been floundering and relying on past glories for years, so a new IP had to prove itself far more and failed.
Cyberpunk lets you fuck about, while starfield has endless transitional scenes to do anything
Cyberpunk had funny bug compilations, while starfield was so boring that nobody cared to catalog any
CDRP used weeaboos to viral cyberpunk into relevance again, then used the sunk cost fallacy to convince the people who had already bought it that they had totally added in all the shit they lied about including at launch.
Bethesda just abandoned starfield as a bad job
Cyberpunk, despite all the marketing lies, can actually be fun in its current state
Starfield is a fucking mess all over.
