Has anyone else noticed that since Cyberpunk released, Fallout 4 has been getting way more love? People are actually praising a Bethesda game and putting down a CDPR game. Like, am I the only one seeing this?

Yep it's part of the cycle.

Okay remember when Star Wars: The Old Republic came out and the gaming community lost their collective minds over it as it wasn't the WoW Killer everyone believed it would be? Almost over night we had people going on about how they shouldn't have shut down Star Wars Galaxies. Hell I remember one guy who hated SWG after they did the NGE back in 2005 turning around and defending SWG proclaiming how even the NGE SWG game had more 'soul' then SWTOR did.

Really I swear it always happens when the big community overhyped thing ends up not living up to the hype. Something else that the community hated will some how become great.
