Reply to comment by exsea in Cyberpunk 2077's Turnaround Just Gave CD Projekt Its Second-Best Revenue Year Ever by JamesAsher12

It's interesting just how invested people got into Cyberpunk, I never thought it looked all that unique. A first person shooter with some Watchdogs-esque features.

It's interesting to hear about the bugs being a problem, Skyrim is one of the buggiest games out there but it's never affected my enjoyment of the game but I saw the way it lagged on PS4 and I remember thinking "holy shit this is abysmal", at the same time they're damned if they do damned if they don't as 1 they'd miss out an alot of money only releasing on next-gen 2 you'd get a large group of people on last-gen complaining and saying they'd rather a laggy game than nothing at all.

I'm also not a fan of preorders, there's two games I've pre-ordered in my life and they were Kingdom Hearts 3 (childhood fan of the franchise and waited years for it so I was happy) and Elden Ring (huge FromSoft fan, love Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro), Elden Ring I was disappointed by but people to this day sing its praises so highly I think basing my purchase on people's reviews would've only made me more let down when I got around to playing the game. I thought FromSoft would never miss and ER was an unfortunate one for me.

Reply to Why do games nowadays have to be categorized either really good or really horrible? by mega_lova_nia

Both are very bad. CP2077 because of all the continuous errors and bugs, even today. WD Legion because they chose to get rid of a main character and unhinges story. Both aren't mediocre.

Raking in money doesn't make it a good game.

I'd value Valhalla as mediocre. It's pretty, does a lot of things good, but it's repetitive and the gameplay has nothing to do with Assassin's Creed. It's not bad, but has very little going for it.

There are still plenty of mediocre games. I'm actually playing one right now, for testing purposes. It isn't very good, but you can't really fault it either.

Edit: It's also with movies and series. I just watched resident Evil (2022) and pretty much enjoyed it. Not stellar, but definitely entertaining. The reviews were all 5/5 or 1/5, no middle ground. I guess that's just public opinion. You don't get attention if you 'just like it somewhat'...

Reply to What are examples of being a wallet warrior? by MaxiumPotential777

Im just not going to play a game where a core mechanic is payments or paying as a way to avoid artificial grinding.

Cosmetics? Fine. Dlc? Depends on whats in it. Battlepass? Within the realm of possibility. But real solid gameplay content is always best.

Randomized packs? Thats getting silly. A name change or server transfer "service" in an MMO? Pass. In-game currency to skip 3 days of grinding/waiting thats only there to drive in-game currency payments? Im going to play something else.

Card games are the clearest example of this. Do I want to spend $100 on several copies of one card? Or would I rather get several whole games?

yeah its good that you're not attached to them as i was. they really had a very good PR with gamers in general.i m against pre-orders but for CDPR they had so much good will with gamers that i would actually pre-order from them.

its really a shame on what happened.

fixing the game... its been 2-3 years... a friend of mine bought the game this year and his playthru was buggy..

also if you play the game, you get to see a montage of you and your companion. my first impression of the montage is not "whoa thats cool". instead i thought... hmm pretty sure this is cut content.

later onwards in the game you meet a guy that you WORKED FOR in the montage. but in that meeting it appears to be your first meeting with him. that confirmed to me that the content was cut.

its ironic. i m a person who's bloody invested with CP2077, which made me react negatively to them even more. the irony is that the people who still love cyberpunk are the ones who would shit on me for pointing out how badly CDPR fell.
