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.

    Maybe for you, but I like it

    That’s why we have different games and genres

      i’m quite capable of determining when a piece of media is well made but just not for me in particular (like, let’s say rocket league is a really good and well made game that i just don’t care for, it has no appeal for me), and conversely when something that appeals to me is shit (goat simulator is outright bad but it’s funny and silly and i enjoy dicking around with it). it’s called being literate, you should try that instead of throwing up thought terminating cliches.

            It’s not that people can’t accept that, you keep defending yourself on people saying THEY enjoy it. Nobody is telling you you have to like it.

              Nobody is telling you you have to like it.

              a LOT of people heckled me for a long time about saying i didn’t like it when they asked if i’d played it, as if having played at launch invalidates any opinion i could possibly have because there were also more bugs. i think it’s reasonable to feel some kind of way about being dismissed and diminished and heckled and pressured into repeating a bad experience point for point, and then repeatedly told what an ignorant fool i am for landing on the same opinion as i had before. except now im mad that i had to endure it again just to validate not liking it to every fan of the game i know irl.

        I mean, clearly you are not and this thread is evidence of that lol. You’re raging against a game that a majority would agree is a 9/10, and lashing out at anyone who disagrees with you. That doesn’t make you some elite media connosieur that gets to arbitrarily decide what is good media, it mostly just makes you a whiny asshole. The majority consensus is that when Phantom Liberty launched, the game became one of the best RPGs ever made.

          “anybody who criticizes this game is a whiney asshole not worth listening to, therefore it must be good since everyone worth listening to enjoyed it” cult logic
