He made it pretty clear which he preferred. Cyberpunk 2077 looks to have finally completed its redemption arc with the launch of the 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty DLC. While its disaster of a launch turned many off the game, the recent changes had players returning in droves. Asmongold\u2019s own coverage of the game\u2019s initial controversies had him swear off it before a single playthrough. He recently caused a stir discussing Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s \u201cdomination\u201d of Starfield and it looks like he convinced himself to give it a shot. Asmongold hasn\u2019t made a big secret of his distaste for Starfield and his first hours in Cyberpunk 2077 seem to have cemented it further. In a recent stream of Cyberpunk 2077, he gave his initial thoughts on the game and how it compared to Bethesda\u2019s RPG. Asmongold gives his take on Cyberpunk 2077 After prying himself away from a 10-hour Cyberpunk 2077 session, Asmongold\u2019s first impression was a succinct \u201cstraight-up motherf**king wow.\u201d He elaborated further on just what had gripped him about the dystopian world. \u201cStarfield convinced me that I didn\u2019t like stories in games and maybe I do,\u201d Asmongold began. \u201cI just don\u2019t like s**tty ones.\u201d The way Cyberpunk 2077 delivered its narrative was a big plus for the streamer. \u201cThis game has a certain amount of edge and grit to it that makes it really compelling and I like that a lot,\u201d he explained. Asmongold went on to praise how CD Projekt RED was able to turn Cyberpunk 2077 around. \u201cYou can\u2019t polish a turd but if you\u2019ve got some scuffed a** game and there\u2019s underneath it, a level of quality, then it\u2019s fine,\u201d He said before qualifying. \u201cThere are some games that just fundamentally suck d**k, and you\u2019re not gonna unsuck that d**k. It\u2019s gonna be like that forever.\u201d While he hasn\u2019t completed a playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077, Asmongold did say he thinks that the game\u2019s intro is \u201con the same level as Final Fantasy 16.\u201d High praise for a man who had Square Enix\u2019s latest addition to the franchise on his GOTY list.
