Hello hello hello, Polish trannies and other residents atop of mount copium. Also hello to my fellow travelers on the loltrain. The leaks are getting larger and release is right around the corner and it is now obvious to everyone that the Donut was right all along. This is your final warning, I don't want you to kill yourselves on release day, you still have time to play Sabotain. The enemies are less bullet spongy there and it doesn't look like a cross between Fallout 4, Outer Worlds and Saints Row. So hurry up and cancel your pre-order and download Sabotain, it's your only chance. Don't OD on the Polish transexual cringepill.
Best thing to do is just to play Deus Ex.
I'm replaying it right now and it is fucking fantastic.

No, it's not. I actually played Sabotain, for several hours. If you are praising this game, you have absolutely no right to mock Cyberpunk 2077 and its unfinished ness.

For fuck sake, the very first second of Sabotain starts with a sound sample stolen from Blade Runner.

I'll repeat what I said before on this subject. People make games. Correct. But people have expectations. I as a consumer have expectations if you wish to see my money. I don't care how hard you worked. Give me a good product. I'm not your friend. CDPR is not your friend. They are a corporate entity that is currently bleeding employees and might end up sold and hollowed out next year. (oops, spoilers.) If you produce a creative work that is bad people have a right to complain. The onus is on the PRODUCT MAKER not the consumer. I am paying them. Not the other way around. If they do not meet my standards I have no desire to buy their product or pretend they're my friend. When Devs themselves openly laugh at and mock their audience whilst refusing to actually play any games themselves out of a inane idea that they know better than YOU.

Let me let you in to an open secret of game dev. You as a consumer are not important. For a publically traded company. The only thing that matters is stocks. That's how they make the majority of their money. You as consumers are a smokescreen. At best a facilitator by buying the game of stocks going up or down. The average developer sees you as a necessary evil they can't wait to cut out as part of The Great Reset.

I don't get what everybody is complaining about? seems like CDPR succeeded in achieving a truly dystopic setting. Imagine walking through the city and suddenly you glitch out of existence. The horror, the horror...

You can actually kill baddies with one headshot there
Incredible features from 2004, but Deus Ex also had this thing where you shot enemies in the head and they died back in 2000. I wonder when Poland will catch up.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I will admit that the car physics are about on par with CP77 though.

Are they (entertaiment industry in general) retarded? How do they believe their value grows if they serve nothing but shit for their customers they sell their shitty games to?

That excuse sounded much better when they did it for STALKER.

Such is life in the Zone.
Except STALKER is labor of love despite all shit encoded in the engine. Not desire to move stonks price a little.

If a game sells decently, stocks go up. If it sells badly or there is bad PR stocks go down.

The quality of the game in question is irrelevant to this equation. Marketing and braindead sheep being told what to buy matters the most. What a consumer thinks is irrelevent as long as stocks are sold. As long as money from stocks keeps changing hands over and over. And with the plandemic in full swing the NWO have already decided who's allowed to make a profit and who isn't. What we're dealing with in society is a form of socialism for the wealthy so they can maintain their life styles whilst everyone else fights for the scraps. Wealth simply goes around the circle of the rich. Who don't even need to make a real profit. So long as their mates keep buying and selling the stocks, trading, and then repeating.

This one is gonna be a weird one for journos indeed. On one hand, they perceive it as transphobic, and CDPR shafted them for influencers. On the other hand, gamer chuds seem to hate what they're seeing of CP2077, and there's nothing journos love more than claiming a game is a masterpiece when the public hates it.

Stalker was made by a team largely inexperienced in FPS games, was overly ambitious and had budget times and times less than CP77 has. And still, it is a masterpiece. And what CP77 will be? A brightly packaged turd with Keany mug stamped all over the place.

Of course one day this comes crashing down, but by then a lot of shitty games have been hyped and sold, and a lot of champagne & caviar has been consumed. We'll think about it when the time comes and migrate our investments elsewhere.
