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.
first off, nickelback is the most popular band in the world, and there’s a million and ten valid reasons their music sucks.
second, all of my experience having hot takes about popular video games tells me that question actually means “it hurts my feelings you said bad things about a thing i like, tell me a thing you like so i can say bad things about it to get back at you”.
I have absolutely no clue how you’re determining that but id guess with whatever metric you’re using it hasnt been the case since at least 2008 - and even then, probably only in the top 50 in the US only
Not even in the top 100 today
… Maybe this person actually is from an alternate timeline or dimension.
I doubt that statistic.
