• I am fully ready to be down voted for, but Cyberpunk 2077.

    I finally got around to trying it out a little after Phantom Liberty came out and the game itself had all of the updates, so I thought it would be the best time to try it out.

    I just couldn’t get into it. I got so tired of the constant stopping my progress for dialogue and that God forsaken fast forwarding mechanic that I feel they just put there to mock me.

    The game itself is just fine, but I don’t understand why everyone is now calling it one of the greatest games of recent times.

    • It’s my favorite game, but that’s because it does a very good job of immersing me in the world, characters, and story. I can see how if you just want to get to the next bit of gameplay it would be annoying, but I really like to soak up a game and feel like I’m living another life in it, so it’s perfect for me.

      Spoilers?: My biggest gripe too…I finished it, and the ending I chose felt like a 20 min long unskippable cut scene. Never mind the actual 20min long unskippable cut scene in the middle.

      Most overrated game of the last 5 years. Technical failure, sold on lies, bugs upon bugs, illusion of choice, horrible combat and an empty world.

    • Absolutely. Got it for Xmas one year, played until there was a god awful fuck scene that was…really something, and unexpected. Like, ok, I get that there are people that this is their only sexual outlet but can you fucking warn a guy?

      It really reminded me of an updated Perfect Dark (360 version), which was…just stupid.

      I’m told I didn’t even get out of the tutorial even though I played it for a good while. A lot of the dialog between the player character and whatever the first guy’s name is felt like they were written by people who had only a vague idea of what the other person was saying.
