76 was an ongoing clownshow for a while, but Cyberpunk also had the most hype/good faith behind it leading up to launch. CDPR were held to the highest levels of god tier developer for people, especially trying to play up the "we're just like you guys, average joes!" despite growing into a larger company. And Cyberpunk looked great from all leadings up to it (outside of the cringe marketing quasi-transphobic stuff). And then it all blew up in their faces, even if it did ultimately make them money. They completely shot their golden reputation.

XIV works too, can't really argue against that point

Sonic 06 had the most hype going into launch. Its easy to forget that 15 years later and one of the worst games of all time.

But 06 had ridiculous hype that it was gonna save Sonic as well as be the perfect start to a new generation (PS3 launch Title). It was only weeks before release that leaks came and some hopes faltered. But even lowered hopes couldnt prepare for the finished product.
