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, āthey fixed all that, itās like a totally different game nowā.
10 hours later itās clear that theyāre 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 iām fucking baffled. itās like itās a cult or something.
iāve said multiple times throughout this thread that the bugs are far from my only complaint now, nor were they at launch. yes the bugs have been fixed, the bugs were not what was causing the poor experience. people who i described my experience to swore up and down to me that the game is different now, and it was so similar an experience overall as to be identically poor for broadly the same set of reasons. i have people in this thread calling me a liar about the bugs i experienced, meanwhile i literally have a person who rates the game as a favorite sitting next to me playing the game on a steam deck calling bullshit on those comments. the general reaction here has mostly been emotional retaliation, tone policing, and disingenuous gaslighting like your pedantic essay about how iām a liar because of things you decided that i said.

i must be in a different version of reality because the person sitting next to me playing the game on their steam deck right now is calling bullshit on a steam deck user in this thread calling me a liar about the bugs i mentioned seeing, and i have in fact engaged with multiple people here and come to some amount of consensus about at least a half dozen specific complaints i listed.
the meme is about how iām frustrated at feeling incredibly misled by fans of the game grossly overstating and out right misrepresenting the amount and kind of work thatās been done to the game, and dogging me about playing a game i was quite clear about not liking and why (and itās not about bugs).
youāre all whining about me telling you what not to like when the meme is about feeling like it wasnāt good enough that i played and disliked it once already. i have 40 hours in that game because of being made to feel like i wasnāt enjoying it because i was doing it wrong.
the meme is literally about being frustrated at feeling like itās not allowed to not engage with a popular thing that you donāt find enjoyable. yeah iām gonna react poorly to essays in my inbox about how iām a liar for saying i saw a bug and demanding specs and telling me iām stupid and shit.

See over on my instance we have a rule / practice where one person just says āDisengageā and then after that, is expected that those two people will not communicate with each other for the next 12 to 24 hrs.
Why do we do this?
Because sometimes people get really heated, or feel very attacked, and thats basically a safety valve for that, where both can do a sort of gentlemanās truce, realizing that they are succumbing to their emotions and should probably both cool off a bit, so as to not be foolish or cruel.
ā¦ But you just keep arguing with everyone in this thread!
Theā¦ the things you wrote are still there, we can still read them!
I highly doubt that any actual specific person who convinced to replay this game you donāt likeā¦ are any of the people in this thread.
What is to be gained from making a fool of yourself amongst strangers?
Why do you insist on trying to āwinā this?
Because youā¦ you have āa personā, sitting next to you with a Steam Deck, egging you on to keep embarassing yourself?
This person is not your friend.
You are now just throwing out, wildly incorrectly, all the bad psychology vocab words you ālearnedā from TikTok.
You may also note that I never called you āstupidā or āa liarā.
You invented that in your head.
Go read what I wrote again.
Actually read it.
What I said was that you are being emotional and irrational.
Those are not the same thing as āstupidā or āa liarā.
Everyone gets emotional and irrational sometimes, thats just part of being human, smart people, stupid people, liars and those honest to a fault, they all can become irrational and overly emotional in certain circumstances.
You are conflating things, concepts, you are conflating individual people in this thread into one gigantic enemy collective hivemind, you are panicking.
This is what a highly emotional person does when they feel they are under attack.
Please, disengage, there is no good that can come from your continued stubbornness.
