Computer games.

The single most cringey thing about gamers and gamer culture is the inability of a large portion of gamers to accept that a review is a personal opinion, actually that's probably a lie, eSport is easily the worst thing about gaming culture but aside from that gamers saltiness over reviews is the worst.

Id honestly love to have a job reviewing games, puts you in an amazing position to wum gamers 24/7.

A review is by nature subjective, but it has to still objectively review it as a video game and what it's intending to be.

There's been reviews of the PS5 lately that went off on a tangent politically about the pandemic and marked the console down as a result. Loads of game reviews have hefty political slants to them (one I read for Cyberpunk about the gangs in them etc. and, again, marked down as a result).

The standard really is low when it comes to the quality of reviewing, I don't think it's just salty gamers being irrational.

As for Cyberpunk, I have a feeling people are expecting a generational shift life-altering moment from it and will be disappointed. The hype is silly.
 
As someone mentioned before, Cyberpunk was so hyped that it will bring in fans from other genres that don’t understand the point of the game to begin with. There will legitimately be people expecting it to play like an FPS franchise, and those people will obviously be disappointed.

I don't think that's just reviewers though. Most people seem unable to detach political/social motivations from their opinions on things.
But I agree there are a lot of journalists who really force their values on games and it makes a mockery of it all, e.g.:

Ha hadn't seen that one, but yeah, there you go.

And I agree, it's not unique to video games - it's a disease the world over these days unfortunately.
 

In terms of cyberpunk.

What you have to take into account with cd project red is that they have a habit of starting from the beginning and learning as they go.

When they made the Witcher it was their first ever game. They learned how to make games as they went along so all of their passion made the Witcher 3 one of the best of the generation as a result.

So expect this with cyber punk. It won't be the best game ever as they have never made a fps before. But it will be very good none the less , and it will only get better if they go down sequel routes as they perfect their craft.
 
Played 3 hours of it last night, really enjoyed it. Got a 2000 word marketing report due in Uni next week, this game will put that at major risk.

Although I've somehow managed to create one ugly ass character. I'm scared of mirrors.

Good question, and one I can’t really put my finger on an answer for. Thought it does feel a bit classic Mass Effect with the talking - which isn’t a knock

The shooter-ing is almost like a proper successor to the Fallout games. Auto-lean mechanics and such.

Honestly the first person perspective is much better than I expected. Really immersive like.
