Cyberpunk 2077 is a classic example of how a hyped-up game with high expectations can go terribly wrong. The game’s release was almost pathetic, as it was riddled with bugs and glitches. The graphics of the game could not be called ‘next-gen’ and the game also witnessed multiple crashes as well. In fact, the game’s release was so haphazard and lethargic that fans even wanted a refund.
The game was in a pitiful state. So much so that Sony called back the games from their e-stores and Xbox was offering refunds.

However, someway, somehow, CD Projekt’s title managed to find a place in the Game of the Year nominations for best RPG.

Cyberpunk and its nomination ridiculed by Twitter
Fans expressed on Twitter their frustrations with the game being part of The Game Awards 2021.
Game of the Year for what? Lying to their investors and releasing a completely broken game? Very confused on how it’s considered “bitching”. And yea I’ve played the entire game completely.

I still remember them posting the specs for cyberpunk. It said recommended was a gtx 1060.. recommended usually means 1080p at 60fps and high or max. little do people know.. recommended was for much lower performance lol. pic.twitter.com/eNeLRdIuWa

Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t deserve to be on this list.
Not just because it’s unfinished, but the RPG elements are mediocre at best.
And it’s not like there’s a shortage of good RPGs released since Dec 2020 👇
– Omori
– Atelier Ryza 2
– Bravely Default 2
– Neo: TWEWY
– The Ascent https://t.co/n4SrAUiHY6— Burhan 🎮 (@BurhanPlays) November 17, 2021
The Game Awards is a massive joke and you cannot convince me otherwise. How did Cyberpunk 2077 get in over games like MH Stories 2, Yakuza 7 and Bravely Default II?! 😂😂 https://t.co/zdyi0tcTlT

TBH this makes it not really a show that’s “for the fans” and more of a show that’s “for the developers and relationships with companies”. Which is an unfortunate turn. I’m someone that genuinely liked Cyberpunk 2077 but it’s botched launch and PR handling shouldn’t be accepted.

How the hell did Cyberpunk 2077 get nominated for best RPG. That game hardly had any RP on it.

I don’t understand these people who made these choices. No Returnal for GOTY and Cyberpunk 2077 for best RPG. I smell bullsh*t pic.twitter.com/FMlQE9Ol0I

It won’t win, it was a pretty weak year for RPGs, Cyberpunk 2077 probably barely got in.

This is a pic of myself looking at Cyberpunk 2077 chillin on my desk for over a goddamn year since its still a buggy mess on consoles.
Don’t thank me, criminal scum. You didn’t deserve that nom. https://t.co/JA1lFS92ch pic.twitter.com/NlyRsPoSVE

okay but how does Cyberpunk 2077 gets nominated as best RPG over Neo TWEWY, Fuga: Melodies of Steel, and Deltarune cpt. 2?
Oh right money.

because those people don’t know sh*t about games . Cyberpunk 2077 is anything . But an RPG?Lol . It doesn’t matter what dialoge you choose,and your actions don’t impatct on the world . Only because this game has stats on weapons and armor doesn’t mean it’s an RPG .

…Cyberpunk 2077? Really?! I get the feeling someone REALLY is desperate to promote it & that’s why it’s on here in the first place.
Anyway, for those reading, I encourage you all to play NEO: The World Ends with You. It’s needs all the support & it’s a great game, too. https://t.co/JM7jWs6PcV

Needless to say, the gaming community did not look very favorably towards this game being added to the list of nominees for the best RPG game of the year.
