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.

    Because you’re taking it out on all of us because a few people pissed you off, you haven’t clarified what pisses you off

    i’ve repeatedly clarified that i’m pissed that i was outright lied to by fans of the game who apparently did not hear a single thing i said about why i didn’t enjoy it (in calm polite subjective terms, and only when they brought the game up to try to sell me on it yet again) and insisted repeatedly that all my complaints had been addressed, and pestered me to “give it another chance”.

    nor shared your specs.

    i don’t know why you want my specs because it’s (mostly) not about the game performance, everyone has bugs and memory leaks and while annoying af it’s not a dealbreaker to me.

    And neither here nor there but while you think you’re being counter culture by bitching about the game

    i don’t think i’m “counter” anything, i’m just being genuine and that’s a sin when you don’t feel the “correct” way. you’re projecting.

    it was so popular to shit on this game while it was being fixed, that it was common to have your opinions.

    and yet back then all i did was leave my thumbs-down review and didn’t think about it again for years. i laid aside my opinion because i trusted in my friends, and landed on the same opinion after trying the “fixed” version expecting a better experience. almost like i’m not some dipshit on a hate bandwagon the way you’re so eager to cast me.

    So you actually just sound like every other normie who shouted at fans for liking it.

    sorry, i flat out don’t believe this happened.

    I get why people kept telling you to try it, you probably complained this loud day one and wanted you to experience it fixed up.

    it was more like they brought it up and i said i played at launch and didn’t like it and briefly summed up the reasons why and they took every opportunity to badger me about playing it for a year afterward. again you’re projecting a narrative onto me so you can dismiss me about it.

    stop being so antagonistic out the gate. And don’t act like you didn’t want this debate, acting high and mighty. You’re a milquetoast rebel without a cause.

    things i wish the game would let me say to johnny silverhand. also lmao more projection.

      you literally can say that to silverhand, congrats on jokingly stumbling upon the entire point of his character

      but continue explaining why it’s everyone else’s problem that you don’t like a video game

        the “lampshading how hacky and bad my story is makes it clever and self-aware actually” trope is the entire conceit of the game’s central character?

        that’s hilarious and sad, everything i learn about the parts of the game i haven’t played make it sound like it gets so much worse.
