But how much is it about the hard work vs the combination of discounts and lower (realistic) expectations?
This....
Once you remove any anticipation of it being actual deep RPG and it becomes this weird borderlands clone for $5, it becomes easier to be like, sure good job. lol
At this point, we just need to wait till Rockstar or Bethesda make something like this as they can pull it off as they've already done titles like this. I mean, look at even Starfield's trailers and walkthroughs, it sounds like Starfield is showing what the game will be at release and CP2077 is either making shit up or showing you what they "thought" the game would be like at release or something.
I'm doubtful when they are talking the different factions and groups in the game and what you can be in the game, that its merely talking about fucking "lore", they sound like for sure, 100% they are saying that is what Starfield is as they have no history of lying over such things, where if that same trailer is done by CDPR.......yea who knows how much of that is even real and how much of it later will be dismissed as "lore".
So maybe people can accept what it is more now post launch, then what they kept hyping up, lying about and claiming for years. Can anyone even blame RPG fans? The idea of joining a guild isn't some fucking wild thing, so when they are talking about "sTreeT kiDz" and "cOrpRO" what the fuck is the point of saying any of that if it adds next to nothing to the game outside of a different opening?
When CDPR tells you this, have doubts, they are fucking liars and aiming to lead folks to believe its MORE then what it really is.
When Bethesda tells you this, they have a history of really fucking doing it....thus we just hear it like "oh like thieves guild?"
I can't blame consumers for thinking this mind you, folks made it sound like CDPR was going to destroy Bethesda in the RPG department and when the dust settled, this is more like a really bad Borderlands clone lol
This game had the greatest F up launch in history of games
lol TRUTH! I've never seen something like this, from numerous false claims to tons of stripped content, lawsuits, being removed from PSN to all those Yellow Screen apologizes. Its even more odd as, how sorry can they even be, they till this day still have many trailers up of content that doesn't exist in the game, basically marketing something that doesn't exist as they are promoting it. So how sorry are they really if they are still using that content on their Youtube channel? smh
People really just want to continue hating on a game they don't have to play and it's weird
lol sure, but with the thread being about how the people perceive this game, I'd argue many that dislike it, have a lot to do with actually playing it in the first place and seeing its not what they marketed it to be lol
The game was marketed like it was fallout New Vegas regarding quest choice and solutions. Then after the first mission every thing is one route .
They put their entire budget into the first mission to lure you in.
This 10000%. Even the footage of Jackie is merely a montage, but why show that in a trailer leading people to believe THOSE EVENTS AS THEY HAPPEN are in the game?
While playing it, i was shocked to see that as its clear they aimed to deceive people about that whole thing and its not like some wild twist happens in the story to do this mind you. For a trailer, I get it, they want to show PARTS of the game, unbeknownst to all of us, that shit LITERALLY was what it shows in the game lol It was like, ok....why are we not actually just doing those parts? Why is all that just rushed thru some video? lol
It feels like they were making a different game, had footage cause it was incomplete and was like "fuck it, turn it into a montage" lol
Anything after the first 4 missions just feels like a Borderlands clone lol
