These forums are weird

[JamieRose]

Seems like a stark contrast of those inside the game. Everyone's so nice and positive, and the story generally seems to be well liked by the players.

Then I come here and it seems like every topic on the front page is just negative, angry, or bitter.

What's the deal?

Internet forums are like flypaper for jerks. This forum is no exception.

Because you have to be nice in game otherwise you get reported.

I mean classic forums like this one tend to attract more critical people, because otherwise there would be no point debatting, could just share fanart and praise XYZ. Which happens most of the time on sites like reddit atleast, it's just this forum in particular is also pretty much not moderated and thrives of controversy.

I'm not going to read this entire thread because there's only so much brain damage I can take in one day, but the short version is that these forums comprise a tiny, angry majority.

Tiny majority? Lol. Only catched that now. Already mentioned the weird statistic. Remember: if it makes money it's good! No complains allowed! Remember that about Diablo IV, TLoZ:TotK and the rest. Did Cyberpunk make buck? If so how dare people complained about it's bugs!!! It made money! And had players!!! Are people that actually think like this the reason the Pokemon games with backgrounds that would look embarrassing in 2004 were the fastest selling switch games?

i honestly dont know what vision you had for this game b4 shadowbringers shifted the game, but i can clearly see its coming from someone who honestly needs a break, lol a long one at that to be honest....wheather or not you care about awards, this game beat fortnite and apex on best ongoing game and best community support, so just because your vision of the game isnt shown in the game doesnt mean the game is doing horrible...the game is actually is keeping the same pace as the other xpacs where x.2-x.5 is where the xpac hoppers decide to do other things b4 the next xpac...and yea you think games like wow and apex have better support but i bet you, you barely seen the outcries apex legends had over the last 2 years with the biggest player drop last year since 2019 lol or pso2 where the game had to get remade since it was doing poorly after it dropped the ball on making a western port over 10 years after the fact lol so i get your anger towards the game and act like the game is "over" for you but i can clearly say its just you and maybe a few other forum pals who should just hang it up for good

you and i well know this "anger" is a tiny majority, lol also cyberpunk made enough buck to make a brand new xpac, so say what you will lol

after 10 years tho, the game should honestly start coasting on its success, games need to bow down for other games lol i dont see why people are mad over a game? i would be surprised if yoshi p was still producer and director in 5 years

Majority means: "the larger number or part of something" (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...glish/majority)

There is no such thing as a "tiny majority".

The rest of your rumble is just again the old "game made money and also awards!" as if how I LIKE the game has to be steered by those factors. Sorry that i am not a sheep. I don't follow what others think, i rather try products and come to my own conclusions. This seems to be alien to you. The fact that you made 2 posts here after this topic was dormant for 10 days shows who really is angry.

Cyberpunk was widely criticised by customers for false promises and outright deception during the marketing phase as well as a great many performance issues - particularly when it came to the PS4 version. To this day it remains the sole game I pursued a refund for due to how broken it was at launch.

That it was still able to fund an expansion and rework many aspects of the game is likely in large part due to their commitment to ESG policies and the financial benefits that come with doing so:

They certainly don't appear to have learned any lasting lessons, given that they're now attempting to shift blame towards customers over their own broken promises and the game's original missteps. A common issue in general across the board these days, unfortunately.

It's genuinely one of the few industries where certain consumers will tolerate (even celebrate) being fed swill over and over, and then spit out some "yo u mad over a game bruh", chins still covered in spittle, at customers who say the swill isn't good enough, especially when they're being charged for a gourmet meal. Granted, this situation isn't entirely organic market supply and demand, as per the post above mine.

I think that's all of enterntainment. A lot also just copy the opinion that is held by the majority. The big majority (because there is no other XD; imaging trying to invent the term 'tiny majority' to better suit your victimhood, anyways...) is a group some just want to be a part of. They like to be in.

I don't know if i mentioned this before or not but back in 2015 when Star Wars 7 was released multiple people i asked couldn't tell me if they liked the movie or not. Only after a few days passed and the majority had a wide spread opinion they could.
