I am fully ready to be down voted for, but Cyberpunk 2077.
I finally got around to trying it out a little after Phantom Liberty came out and the game itself had all of the updates, so I thought it would be the best time to try it out.
I just couldn't get into it. I got so tired of the constant stopping my progress for dialogue and that God forsaken fast forwarding mechanic that I feel they just put there to mock me.
The game itself is just fine, but I don't understand why everyone is now calling it one of the greatest games of recent times.
It's my favorite game, but that's because it does a very good job of immersing me in the world, characters, and story. I can see how if you just want to get to the next bit of gameplay it would be annoying, but I really like to soak up a game and feel like I'm living another life in it, so it's perfect for me.
Spoilers?: My biggest gripe too..I finished it, and the ending I chose felt like a 20 min long unskippable cut scene. Never mind the actual 20min long unskippable cut scene in the middle.
Heavy on cyberpunk. Don’t get the hype. Vague mission instructions, horrible driving control, and just an overall boring game to me.
I'm told I didn't even get out of the tutorial even though I played it for a good while. A lot of the dialog between the player character and whatever the first guy's name is felt like they were written by people who had only a vague idea of what the other person was saying.
"We have to keep moving! Let's stop here." :|
Most overrated game of the last 5 years. Technical failure, sold on lies, bugs upon bugs, illusion of choice, horrible combat and an empty world.
Ive got 300+ hours in Cyberpunk and I've not encountered a single bug. I did play it after the Phantom Liberty release though so all bugs were ironed out by then.
And get out of here with the horrible combat part. You can do so many builds in Cyberpunk that are all viable. I get that lots of people were really disappointed with it's initial release but the combat in the game is top notch now.
This may sound weird but I never expected myself to find hacking into a security cam system and killing every enemy inside a building through the cameras while sitting on top of wall outside, to be so much fun. And that's the netrunner build which is arguably the most passive build in the game.
You wanna have some air dashing sword slashing op shit, play with a sandy.
Or play a build in which getting damaged from your own grenades gives you damage res so you're flying all around the area, jumping throwing down a grenade, and then shooting everything with an assault rifle.
That's just 3 builds - then there's smart weapons, there's sandy + pistols, there's berserk build, blunt weapon build (best weapon is a dildo.) You can literally spend a thousand hours on the combat without repeating a build.
Guy comes into a thread about overhyped games that people didn’t like, and tries to argue people’s opinions are wrong.
I also could not get into the game. It felt like a slog to get through for me. The idea of playing it over and over to try out different builds feels like torture.
You are welcome to your opinion, but you’ve come in hot to a discussion about games that people didn’t like. Which games did you bounce off that other people seem to enjoy?
I mean I replied to someone who obviously didn't play it after the bugs were fixed in the phantom liberty update. There are genuine complaints about cyberpunk but bugs, nah. Not anymore at least.
And for me Undertale, KCD, Civilization series, and really most indie platformers. I don't like shitty graphics.
You mean you don't like certain artstyles. Because them games have better graphical fidelity than Cyberpunk, they are just not chasing "realistic" features.
Yes Undertale truly is a pioneer in graphical fidelity lmao I do love me some 8-bit graphical fidelity
It does? It's pixel art sure, but the quality is higher, it's crisp.
Cyberpunk 2077 is blurry, with weird ass checkerboard rendering. It uses lots of approximation techniques. You can't disable the forced TAA in game, you have to modify ini files or use mods. And if you disable it you get a whole bunch of new problems.
Cyberpunk 2077 suffers deferred rendering, relying on TAA or DLSS (hello ghosting). Developers chose to trade quality for detail. Sure you get more light bounces, more realistic reflections, but you also get a worse overall image.
It's not thinking, its just facts. If you are happy with the look of Cyberpunk 2077, then thats fine, no need to get defensive. But the other games certainly dont have "shitty graphics", they just dont have the style you like.
You most likely have encountered a bug, more than one even, it's just not been impactful enough for you to care or remember. They have ironed it out a lot since though, so most of the major ones have probably all gone.
I'm glad you can enjoy it though, that's great! Sounds like you have had a good time.
Yea I love cyberpunk. The lore alone makes it top 3 of all time for me.
Absolutely. Got it for Xmas one year, played until there was a god awful fuck scene that was....really something, and unexpected. Like, ok, I get that there are people that this is their only sexual outlet but can you fucking warn a guy?
It really reminded me of an updated Perfect Dark (360 version), which was....just stupid.
