Okay so you’re in like, middle school. Got it. Have fun with your internet temper tantrum then.

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”.

There’s definitely something hilarious and sad about all of this.

you literally can say that to silverhand, congrats on jokingly stumbling upon the entire point of his character

but continue explaining why it’s everyone else’s problem that you don’t like a video game

as if i’m too stupid to know the difference between “actually bad” and “just not for me”

yeah, imagine that

not a strawman but go off king

I was literally just going by your quote, so not so much strawmanning as trying to make sense of your immature whining about how everything about the game sucks and CDPR are incompetent and the voice acting is bad anime dub levels.

the graphics are secretly bad too, turn off the stupid amount of post processing that’s left on even on “low” settings and it looks like hot fucking garbage

Regardless, if your point was “when you turn the graphical settings to the lowest possible levels it looks like ass” then my bad for misinterpreting you but that still seems like a ridiculously hollow criticsm.

everyone wants to strawman the fuck out of me for having a bad time with a game they like

You have not responded to anyone who has taken you seriously with anything other than “I must exist in some alternate universe because it’s actually terrible” so I dunno, maybe people aren’t taking you seriously for self-evident reasons?

It’s crazy how the only one acting like some weirdo cultist and harassing others for their opinions in this thread is you. You pass your opinions as fact and act like anyone who disagrees is some iPad kid who doesn’t have the same standards as you do. And it’s not like you actually have anything meaningful to say, just CDPR sucks lol fanbois amirite?

Gameplay is bad. Mechanics are bad. Graphics are secretly bad (if you turn everything to the lowest setting and use mods/.ini tweaks to disable post-processing effects even further)

I don’t know how anyone who reads anything you’ve posted here could take anything you have to say seriously. You can’t even articulate your own opinions without acting like a child. Nobody who enjoys the game should waste their time trying to have a discussion with you about it and that’s clear.

Enjoy shouting into the void and the affirmation that comes with it.

I know a few cops too.

The problem with ‘good cop’ logic is that after a while it becomes a distinction without a difference because of what you just described. Eventually the system grinds them down and they either quit or accept it for what it is.

So maybe the more accurate sentiment would be “cops either quit with their principles intact or fall in line because the system doesn’t allow ‘good cops’ to stay that way” but it’s a little bit clunkier than the shorthand.

It’s certainly the best RPG ever written and one of the coolest RPG systems of all time, easily my favorite and it’s not particularly close. I think the point about it not being fun is extremely subjective.

It’s not a AAA blockbuster with action-driven gameplay but there’s more than enough entertainment and intrigue to get you through multiple replays in my experience.

Considering it crashed multiple digital storefronts the minute it launched, had hundreds of thousands of players on Steam within an hour, and had been one of the most hyped game launches in years I think it’s safe to say this wasn’t a huge factor. Not that it doesn’t help.

And the $20 price tag is in the same boat, I know plenty of people (myself included) who would’ve paid double without hesitation considering the good will Team Cherry has earned from their first game.

Maybe a bit mundane but I think the reason the game is an enormous success is because it’s a sequel to one of the best games of the last decade. That and the developers were able to pour their passion into it instead of having to force it out before it was finished with a bunch of predatory monetization garbage.

Really dig the air cooling setup on this one.

Don’t forget a box of those Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, I’m tired of oatmeal for breakfast.

Great, now I have to duck when I walk in the chat.
