I just shake my head at all these YouTubers who are going on and on about what their dream options will be in terms of "romancing" in this game.
About things they'll say and how they'll behave, etc.
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but I have yet to see a preview from someone with a balanced life who doesn't go on about this.
Don't know about anyone else but a preview from someone like that would more suit the other elements I'm interested in.
I take it you've never been to the old bioware forums then, or tumblr in it's glory days.
going apeshit which terrible character to bang is par the course, not even the worst weebshit waifufags are that bad (all they really want it to headpat a pure animu girl)
Not to derail, but I have always hated the idea that somehow Hello games redeemed themselves after "fixing" No Man's Sky after years of patches and DLC. Sean Murray lied to people's faces, faked footage, when on national television, and made up shit. This wasn't a case of a developer having to make some hard choices and scale back their ambitions and cut a ton of stuff in a desperate last attempt to get something published, these devs were caught lying about major features from some of the earliest presentations
Imagine Audi sells you a car and talks about how great it and how many gizmos it has. You buy the car and are shocked to find that they have only given you the chassis, but don't worry! Audi engineers will come round every fortnight to add more parts so that in a year or two, you have a car similar to the one you wanted. Imagine everyone on the internet then starts praising Audi because "at least they didn't leave you with the chassis and run off with your money".
The games industry is one the most fucked, immoral, and anti-consumer industries and the only reason it got this way is because "gamers" are retards that will consume any grey mediocre slop as long as there is a big enough hype train and praise companies as heroes because they at least used some spit before fucking them
Rant over.
>car analogy
if everyone would buy shit, especially videogames, based on rational decisions instead of hype, the market would implode. that's why car analogies never fucking work,
especially with video games, because most people don't buy something that costs several thousand dollars on a whim.
should we hold video games to a higher standard? definitely, but when you can buy that literally disposable shit for cheap and it's gets patched day 1 via forced online, good luck with that. context matters.
it's easy to blame todd's kouhai sean murray when everybody everywhere hyped themselves up so hard with "NMS will rival star citizen in scope and features" - by a 10 guy indie studio that did mobile tier games before. fuck half the shit reddit claimed after NMS launch "sean murray totally lied about" was stuff he either never said or never gave a clear answer about, and stuff that gets cut or postponed constantly, for various reasons, hardly ever gets communicated, not even by global companies with a dedicated marketing department and the funds to shill it everywhere. that's why I give that nerdy guy out of this depth that just wants to make a game, and ultimately delivered what he promised and more at no additional cost, some slack.
at some point you have to wonder if people don't
want to get shit on, because you'd expect at some point they'd learn when companies constantly take your money and run. how's darkspore these days? and star citizen still rakes in cash hand over fist and a big reason this thread exists is to laugh at the people that think cp2077 will be the game to end all games where they'll spend the rest of their life in.
