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.

    Look, buddy, seriously, if you have a friend circle that harasses you into a playing a game that they know you don’t like, and / or your PC can’t run … and they do not listen to your criticisms, which, while I personally think they are a bit overblown and hyperbolic, but they are nonetheless specific and detailed…

    What that means is your ‘friends’ are not your friends, they are trolling you, they are bullies, they are assholes, they don’t care to listen to you, they amuse themselves by provoking you.

    An actual friend would not pressure you to do things they know you don’t want to do, its… its not a situation like ‘you should stop smoking’ or ‘you should get at least a moderate level of regular excercise’ where that kind of insistence comes from a place of caring about your health.

    You don’t need to like this game, but you also don’t need to take out this level of frustration on everyone who does like this game, nor do you need to keep simping to an abusive ‘friend’ group of assholes who fuck with you for fun.

    EDIT:

    Also, if it is the case that you have a lower spec PC by ‘modern gaming standards’, frankly thats nothing to be ashamed of, modern GPUs are stupidly expensive in comparison to just 5 years ago, and theres nothing wrong with being mad that many newer games have absurd requirements that basically require you to be pretty darn finan financially well off to afford easily.

    There’s nothing wrong with lower spec gaming, gaming should be for everyone, there are tons of amazing games that run on lower spec kit, the economy is fucked, fuck the corpos, fuck classism, etc.
