Does this āthis sucks but it worked so weāll see more in the futureā concept make Cyberpunk 2077 the Trump of video games?
This sounds like a prompt from the IC cast.

To be honest I donāt think we have any data if it āworkedā or not. The hype for the game was huge based off of the success of Witcher 3, CD Projectās reputation as the last consumer friendly videogames company and Keanu Reevesā involvement. Itās a AAA game with a huge budget and gamers love that - that fact alone builds hype in this industry. The hype was huge before the controversies and itās still huge after them, so what we can say is that they got away with it; who can tell if it actually did them any good, though? Or more good than the alternatives.
I also donāt know if people are really cognizant of what kind of game this is - if the hype is because people donāt know it or because they know. Itās not an FPS, itās not an action game: itās a slow-ass classical RPG. Itās not GTA. You will go hours or even the whole game without shooting anyone unless youāre actively looking for fights. Youāll talk and listen a lot and make choices and thatās the biggest part of the game. If the first 16 hours of the game are representative of the whole experience, at least!

idk if this is as fresh as that article makes it sound, marketing to the worst most toxic fans has been a staple of US gaming advertising since the 90s? CDPR just hasnāt moved past it and their shitty fans are rewarding them for it

Preload is available on Steam now. Itās 57.3 GB. Wonder how big the day 1 patch is going to be! Iām guessing about 70 more gigs lol
I havenāt watched an IGN review in years and, uh, they still really arenāt any good. These 10 minute reviews tell you just about nothing. Like, from what the reviewer is saying my takeaway from this is that the gameās like a mix of Deus Ex and the Blade Runner point and click game (all the many different endings it had), only with loads of bugs. Other than that I have no clue. They apparently think the missions and stories are good and I couldnāt tell you why. What exactly makes them good? Who the fuck knowsā¦
You can finish the main quest in 20 hours and see 6 different endings in 45 hours, so thatās a relief. I wonāt have to invest a 100+ hours just to get to a conclusion, if I donāt want to.
Also, there are some hilariously bad lines in this review

complaining about traditional review press which only exists in shambling zombie form nowadays is wasted effort,
but they absolutely understand what ālots of bugsā means in software projects this large and should be able to convey to their audience, āthese animation and scripting bugs will likely be sorted by the day 1 patchā or āit looks like there are months of bugfixes neededā
Itās only been this way for fifteen years

Yeah, Iām none the wiser and I sort of regret giving them however many fractions of a cent they get from my click/view.
Iām looking forward to the cool YouTube channels covering this game in depth, however, some months down the line
I was so disappointed to learn that āpenis 1ā and āpenis 2ā are just cut and uncut.

The build up to this game is incredible. Itās like waiting around for Christmas and not knowing if all the presents are full of steaming turds or not
Iām almost hoping for a Mass Effect Andromeda situation because I wasnāt part of that and the bugs Iāve seen in videos were the most hilarious ones Iāve ever seen in my life. That would also make the 9 from IGN all the more embarrassing
Couldnāt they have made a foreskin slider for that, seriously CDPR, youāre slipping. How am I supposed to get immersed if I canāt set exactly how much of my foreskin is missing/how much of an anteater I have in my pants
Circumcision is basically antiquepunk and it will still be around in 2077 so thatās appropriate

So a Washington Post review says the shooting just feels right and itās like Destiny with a story. Also, Keanu Reeves steals every scene heās in. Both of which are the complete opposite of what IGN said (shooting needs time to really click, Keanu is more wooden than the rest of the cast.)
So, now is a good time to stop reading reviews.

I shudder to think of the ways it is ālike Destinyā and the rubric where it gets the qualifier āwith a story.ā Any olā story.

Haha I think I dunked on Destiny there by accident because I misremembered what I had read just minutes before. The actual quote is "If youāve ever wished a game like āDestinyā offered a deeper, proper role-playing experience, [ā¦]ā
