Holy shit! Wasn't JFK shot while in his vehicle, and not in his own office. Damn!

I wasn't insisting that people were right to expect a gta. Certainly, I wasn't. That's the reason I enjoyed cyberpunk 2077 despite it's issues. But, CDPR fanboys did, a large part of the fanbase did. They expected a open world action - adventure RPG that would rival GTA. When you have fansboys like them spreading that CDPR is gonna deliver next gta, you are bound to set up as their competitor. I was aware of CDPR's track record, I was just expecting a good story driven game and I was satisfied, didn't blow my mind but still a good game.

Even if we ignore that the CP 2077 wasn't going to be a competitor to GTA, the game had insanely high expectations. The expectations sky-rocketed when Keanu reeves involvement in the game was revealed.

Even CDPR devs understood that meeting high expectations were impossible. When April 18 2020 announcement date announced, the devs thought that the management were insane to announce such an early date for the game.

For ex. Recently leslie benzies [Ex-R* North head], left R* in 2013 and started making his new game called everywhere and recently started showcasing the game. In every interview about the game, he insists that the game is not gta and vastly different from that. He understands that going against gta is tough task. Many fans who have made up their mind that this will be next gta, But him insisting this is not gta will certainly helps with the marketing for his game in the long run, because he is making a different type of open world. He doesn't want his game to be overhyped or compared to gta. CDPR didn't do any of this, They were riding the hype, the game was overhyped, most people were expecting a gta.

Even if they were wrong in expecting a gta, they were atleast right in expecting a quality product. Like it or not, Cyberpunk 2077 was broken on launch. I disagree on your point about quality between RDR 2 and Cyberpunk 2077, RDR 2 was running perfectly on the consoles it was advertised for, Sony didn't remove RDR 2 from their store for several months. It is the highest rated playstation 4 game. Unfortunately the same isn't true for Cyberpunk 2077, even CDPR themselves ignored the last gen version of the game to concentrate on present gen consoles. If you are gonna advertise a game for a platform make sure that it runs well on that platofrm. Like it or not, Cyberpunk 2077's launch was buggy, featuring technical issues such as poor stability/crashes, AI bugs in NPCs, and severe visual problems that made the game nearly unplayable. A lot of Cyberpunk 2077’s initial player base was understandably thrown off, and thus quickly gave up on the game after seeing the state it was in. You might love the game for what it is, but so many people do not share same opinion as you.

It would definitely lower sales though

When GameStop offered me $25 for it I should have known better. It was above the usual .03 offerings for all of the other games.

It's certainly not easy, I'm sure of that- with the recent closure of the 3DS eshop, we've seen 3DS games soar in price, so I can't imagine what many GameCube games are going for these days. Back around 2016 when I sold my copy of Shantae, the "last game" I needed for my "Collection" was a game that the seller wouldn't sell for less than $700- that's when I realized that I'd never be able to continue buying retro games at those kinds of prices. Good luck to you in getting them back, friend!

Legend of Zelda

Every game except for the first 2 and BOTW is a reskinned Ocarina of time or Link to the past with a gimmick

Death mountain covered in snow does little for me, I want brand new mountains and hills, not changed biomes.

My girlfriend LOVED the Reignited Trilogy. Unfortunately there's no game that scratches the same itch for her. She doesn't like Yooka Laylee and she said Crash Bandicoot looks too fast-paced for her. And well...what other similar PS4 games are there?

It's not relaxing when I lose. It's not relaxing if I win either...

These new shows suck so much. They’re nothing like they used to be. No fun, no fanfare, just glorified movie trailers for two hours broken up by “World Premiere” and “World Exclusive” stingers.

These events used to be a celebration of gaming. Now they’re a soulless corporate shell of what they used to be.

Oh, I had the original Halo for some time but was persuaded to trade it in when I was so bad at playing it! Looking back, perhaps the Warthog vehicle wasn't so difficult to operate, but those are both indeed great games that I'm sorry you regret selling.

I respect you opinion but I definetly disagree.

Madden

It’s like buying the same Zelda game every year except the bosses have different names.

Yeah it really bothered me..hell it still does. I’ve been slowly building back my collection though thankfully.

it's not just about that.

it begins with the buttonlayout that's now used in those games, over how armor works up until storytelling and environmental design.

It peaked with 3

I love mass effect, but yeah.

World of Warcraft

Not everyone likes the button-timing roll-mashing mayhem. I don't care for it most of the time.

Because the interwebs thrives on extremes. Always has.

Everything is going to be exaggerated, so good games almost automatically become great and mediocre games become bad. Sometimes it takes a little while but it always seems inevitable. Nobody wants to talk about the average game very much but if you can get some extremely vocal people exaggerating how good or bad something is, that elicits plenty of response...and the tactic rarely fails.

But what about the President Evil?

They forgot the part about this game being the lifelong dream of a dead disabled relative. And something about dogs

How did you break it if someone already did it 15 years ago

It is the year 2023, and some people still don't know how to take screenshots.
