Is Cyberpunk 2077 a Disappointment? - Episode 77

Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, & PC gaming. Cyberpunk 2077 is out in the wild and the discussion surrounding the game has been anything but unanimous. From the completely disastrous, and frankly unplayable, state that the console version of the game was shipped in, to the poor communication between CD Projekt Red and its consumers, and the complete debacle of refunding those who felt the desire to do so, it’s not been the launch many envisioned for the famed Polish developer’s next massive open world title. But the conversation many are struggling the most with: is the game itself a disappointment? This week, we try to answer that very question and what the road ahead looks like for CD Projekt Red. Is the base gameplay strong enough to invest the time that many expected the game to demand? Will CD Projekt Red have retained trust in its fan base by the time the next Witcher installment releases? Is this the most disastrous launch in modern gaming history for a game of this scale? Plus, The Initiative’s first project has been revealed and with it comes the return of Joanna Dark and the Perfect Dark franchise. But is rebooting an established IP the right move for a new studio’s initial project, and does the Perfect Dark IP have the weight to potentially be a tentpole franchise for Microsoft? Also, new Resident Evil 8 info has leaked, leading to new screenshots of the upcoming horror title to be officially released by Capcom. But does the Resident Evil franchise have the bandwidth to cover multiple styles of titles such as franchises like Mario and Zelda?
