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.

    Nah, the general reaction has been calling you out for acting like a child and arguing in bad faith. You’re crying about “tone policing” when half of the comments on this post are you complaining about the reaction people are having to the words you are typing.

    You completely dismiss people who disagree with you and in the same breath cry about how nobody is taking your arguments in good faith. It isn’t emotional retaliation or tone policing to point out that every response from you is a shallow complaint about how some part of the game is dogshit, incompetent slop, or just “bad” and your singular response to people who actually bothered to give a nuanced opinion has been “oh well I must be in a completely different version of reality then because it is objectively bad”.

      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 i’m frustrated at feeling incredibly misled by fans of the game grossly overstating and out right misrepresenting the amount and kind of work that’s been done to the game, and dogging me about playing a game i was quite clear about not liking and why (and it’s not about bugs).

      you’re all whining about me telling you what not to like when the meme is about feeling like it wasn’t 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 wasn’t enjoying it because i was doing it wrong.

      the meme is literally about being frustrated at feeling like it’s not allowed to not engage with a popular thing that you don’t find enjoyable. yeah i’m gonna react poorly to essays in my inbox about how i’m a liar for saying i saw a bug and demanding specs and telling me i’m stupid and shit.
