However, the bulk of the pushback was to do with factors outside the game that will be forgotten, whereas with Cyberpunk it was mostly the games fault. This is why I feel TLoUII has a much better chance of improving its reputation than Cyberpunk. If people are still on about TLoUII in ten years, that says more about the people than the game.

The outside factors made it both more loved and hated at the same time. I can't think of many other things where the fans have turned a blind eye to criticism to the same degree, in particular about the things that were leaked. You couldn't dislike those things and be taken seriously because they were leaked in most places. So I suppose in some years we'll get a more accurate general view on it, which should be somewhere inbetween.

Of course, the people that dislike it are completely irrelevant when talking about its chances of being nomination. It's more about the people are liked it, and it felt like the game got an additional amount of support because a bunch of people played it with a subconscious agenda to defend it.
