i miss when gta v sent like one preview to game informer, had like three trailers and then was out. now we got this game that had this cool trailer that hooked everybody, but is now showing off keanu reeves, all the celebrity musical guests, hanging out with elon musk on twitter, has the office references in it. it's like its been redditfied or something.

Like it still could be good, but man, what a terrible direction the marketing went in

    I don't even know what Cyberpunk is about and I'm a, ugh, g*mer. I mean all I know is their famous trailer and some gameplay that I didn't even watched fully because it didn't seem that good to me, I dunno. All I know is that you can see this game as "Ancap hell" because society fucking sucks ass, everyone is left "on their own" or something, I dunno.

    I'm kinda done being excited for games. I remember how excited I was when L4D came out, playing hours and hours on the Demo, then came Mount and Blade Bannerlord which took them years to release (super hyped about that one, still haven't played one single minute of it) and a little known game called East vs West, a Hearts of Iron-like Cold War game, amazing game, small group of developers which paid a lot of attention to the community... but Paradox decided to stop all development on the game years ago. I became a doomer, I almost stopped caring about new titles. To add fuel to the fire, I'm a huge oldschool Battlefield fan, BF1942, BF2 and BF2142 are, to me, the best ones, not because these games were 32v32 online games without any shit grind or anything but because the modding community was insanely good both on 1942 (Forgotten Hope) and 2 (Forgotten Hope 2, Project Reality), EA decided to take a huge shit on the community by releasing Bad Company 1 & 2, BF3, BF4 and so on without any modding support, felt like a complete downgrade no matter how "good" these games might be, no mods = no fun for me.

    That's when I became disappointed with the g*ming industry, I literally stopped caring, I became immune to "hype" or whatever, it's dogshit, all of it. Of course Jim Sterling added more fuel to the fire and now I absolutely despise the industry for what it is, Capitalism.

    And now lootboxes haha, fuck this shit. I will pirate the shit out of Cyberpunk, they deserve it after the crunch thing. Fuck them.

        Yeah, not many people remember East vs West I think. It had great potential imo, we need a HoI game set on the Cold War -- Cuba annexes Florida baby!
