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.
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.
There’s definitely something hilarious and sad about all of this.
