In the gamer spaces I've been before the launch, everyone have this "siege" mentality where they preemptively assumes that any kind of criticism must have come from "journos" and SJWs who wants to tear down the game for not conforming to an "agenda". Like the whole epilepsy thing where capital Gs lost their shit to a benign advisory.
Browsing the cyberpunk sub is a treat. still going to pirate it tho
Well if you have a friend group that is all excited to play it, you really do get left behind for conversation. I didn't play Red Dead Redemption 2 and for months afterwords my friends would talk about that game and I'd play on my phone.
