Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.

Still waiting for PvP, runes, etc. btw (shit we were promised on launch over a year ago now) And no, brawling doesn't count because it sucks.
Stay away from Diablo 3 at all costs.....
