How would the star rating solve anything? From the content of the piece we can guess it’s probably 3/5? That’s about the score I’d give it so far anyways. Very average score. And? It’s still very middle of the road, not enough to justify the hype, but not actually bad enough to be hateable.

Yeah, I actually cite Louis CK’s as one of the better apologies.

Cyberpunk (the genre, and the game) is directly out of 80s concerns of corporations getting too powerful, influencing the government, and ultimately surpassing the government.

The original PSA doesn’t make the claim, presumably it’s different enough that it’s coincidence. Just a really really bad one. Which makes sense if other reviewers haven’t caught on, it’s not really a widespread thing that was on anyone’s mind.

The draw is the ability to go anywhere. To have complete freedom. Not that we should HAVE to go everywhere, just that it’s an option.

Reluctantly Yes.

From what I remember from the sourcebook, I believe it fell, then got rebuilt badly, which, yes, puts it exactly in line with Mad Max (possibly closer to Fallout really which also borrows heavily from Mad Max).

I don’t need high fantasy, I need the depth of stories that high fantasy seemingly enables that Cyberpunk struggles with.

Some of this is problems I had with the TTRPG. While the world is flashy and cool, the depth in storytelling (if at all present) is very different from what you’d get even from a deep traditional fantasy setting.

All the ones I’ve played have been... fine? They’re basically just the same game, but on the PC, no extra features but like, they worked flawlessly? Supports various resolutions and screen sizes and doesn’t crash.

Sigh, everyone is going back to NMS, but I’m more reminded of the Fallout 4 situation. If you had ANY interest in the game, you HAD to play the game immediately, as people are going to be either accidently, or intentionally spoiling everything.

The only online games I’ve played this year are Fallout 76 and Read Dead Online, neither of which have cross platform online.

Mobile GOTY* fwiw. The bar is significantly lower.

Devil’s advocate would say that the size and scope of it for mobile game is pretty enormous. I mean, it’s literally a ‘full’ PS4 game, on your phone, for free. Couple that with the ability to hide behind every “well I didn’t spend money”, and it’s a pretty safe defensible choice.

After playing since launch, and even spending some amount of money on the game, I’ve finally just dropped it.

I find myself saving dead/beaten laptops, just incase something is salvagable out of them, or if they have useable parts for other engineering projects.

Consoles sit in storage. As time goes on I just accumulate them.

I remember when the big Xbox 360 ban wave happened for modded consoles, and they all ended up at Gamestop. Good times. /s

Ah, so this is just playable dad’s then? Because I was already writing a list of every JRPG with an absent/abusive/genocidal father figure before I ran out of paper and decided to actually read the transcript.

How quickly we forget the PS3
