i gave cyberpunk2077 another shot after hating it at launch because multiple people pestered me about it for two years. i was repeatedly told of my lengthy list of criticisms, “they fixed all that, it’s like a totally different game now”.

10 hours later it’s clear that they’re either:

a) delusional b) liars c) literally cannot hear criticism of the game being spoken aloud

because that shit was 99% identical to at launch, bugs included. the difference between the game that people keep describing to me and the game in front of me is so stark that i’m fucking baffled. it’s like it’s a cult or something.

    See, you’re using inflammatory language. You’re framing your subjective experience as objective fact by using such definitive language. If you softened this up just a touch by saying things like “I didn’t like the dialog”, “I thought Keanu Reeves performance was cringe”, “I think a 9 is too high of a score for this game”, your thoughts would not only be more well received, you’d invite follow up questions like “what made you dislike Reeves’ performance?” and then we could have an actual discussion about it, instead of just collectively shouting at walls.
