How am I the worst type of fan for complaining about false advertising when you mention death threats? I'm not even a fan. They couldn't even deliver on the game being a fucking RPG.
So yes, I do want them to stop working on this flaming dog pile and give the RPG genre another shot so I can maybe get something close to what they told me I was buying. I've never contacted any of the devs about this, I haven't led any hate campaigns, I am just bitter about being grossly mislead, and you're the one blowing that criticism out of the water.
Fuck off, every time they delayed the game I was happy because they were giving the game the time it needed. What they released wasn't even close. I replay it in almost its entirety every year to let them prove me wrong, and it's still shallow, buggy, and just plain boring. You're making completely baseless accusations without knowing a damn thing about me. I'm just sick of people apologizing for a scam.
The people who say "this game is good now" are usually the exact same people that were saying "this game runs fine and is everything I wanted" on release, the people who hate it have just moved on for the most part. This is the first I've heard anything about this game since its anime patch, and the devs are abandoning it, so it doesn't sound very popular outside of its echo chambers.
That's fucking insane that they say they're finally finished with the game and you twist the menaing into that.
The game was playable on release but sure, pretty buggy. I ran into some funny ones but never one that broke the game so hard it made me throw a tantrum. The game is good now and it was solid back then. I don't get how you find it to be shallow. The story is compelling, the gameplay is compelling, you yourself admit to playing through it entirely periodically.
The game isn't and wasn't a scam Lol. The work put into a game like this, something CDPR has never done, is pretty big. Their big claim to fame is the Witcher series, a third person RPG. They changed perspective to first person and changed it into a shooter. They broke new ground as a studio and you're giving them shit because it wasn't everything you hoped it would be?
I don't talk to people about how much I love CP2077, but when people give it shit back to back and refuse to cut it slack for being what it is? A game Bethesda could have dropped but with a better story, better dialog, better characters, just a better game in general when they've never made a game like this.. I don't get it.
It's like getting pissed that Nintendo didn't make a good Silent Hill themed game. All they've ever known is rainbows and bright colors. Turning mistakes into malice is in itself, malicious.
