As someone else mentioned, the microtransactions existing put it in a bad light to start

My main issue however is just how UTTERLY UNPLAYABLE it was for most people’s systems on launch. The number of crashes and performance issues rivaled that of even Cyberpunk, and I still regularly play Cyberpunk. it was a complete and total disaster for many many people, and while it’s likely fixed by now it was such a struggle and headache to get through that I’ll likely never finish it.

I think they’ve tainted the name enough already, it’s a bit too late IMO

Yet another unfortunately botched Sequel to a fantastic and immersive first game
