    Or as I do:

    1. Watch videos of Cyberpunk
    2. Think of buying it
    3. Realize I still haven’t finished Mass Effect
    4. Never actually buy Cyberpunk.

    Currently I’m thinking of Baldur’s gate 3, but you know… I’ll probably get around to it in a few years.

      Buying any game after 3-5 years is the way to go. The bugs are fixed, patches are out, so mods are stable and most of the time you can find a sale where it costs 10-20€. And if you forget about it before that time, that means the game was not worth it

      You’re allowed to get another game even if you haven’t finished a previous one. You’re only here for like 80ish years so why not sample all that interests you?

        This is what I feel. I’ve finished ToTK and Baldurs Gate 3 once(so far…), but beyond that I haven’t finished a game in probably years. Hasn’t stopped me from having fun in tons of games over the years. I usually play for gameplay more than story anyways, with a couple exceptions.

      It’s not that great tbh. I spent maybe 6 hours in it and didn’t get hooked. With BG3 however, I’m at 60 hours and I can’t put it down

        Cyberpunk feels like it so much missed potential it almost made me sad playing it… The game is gorgeous and in many ways it really nails the cyberpunk feeling, which I’ve been very fond of since I was a kid so I would just love to be able to immerse myself in a game like this.

        However it keeps slapping me in the face with stupid things that break the immersion… Primarily the low effort CRPG item system, where each weapon and piece of clothing has random stats. So you find 10 identical looking guns but they all do different amount of damage and add some random elemental damage, which would’ve made more sense if they were magical weapons in a fantasy game… When I last played it I found an oversized dildo that does 4 times as much damage as my katana… And of course a tiny bikini can have better armour value than actual armour…

          LOL, seems like the devs decided to implement anime physics. More naked skin -> more armor. More weight -> faster machine. That’s why mechas are the fastest moving things know to man.

          It’s an RPG, dude. If you don’t like RPGs then don’t buy them. I know a lot of people want Cyberpunk to be a GTA game or any other thing, but it isn’t.

        Oh, I’ve been watching those videos with great interest. The bugs used to be very strong with this one. Fortunately, the devs managed to fix a lot of them, so it’s not quite as meme fuel as it was on day one. Buying it now probably doesn’t come with the legendary 600% buyer’s remorse booster.

          [Joke] Ugh, probably have to buy it as a microtransaction or whatever DLC crap. I hate when they take stuff out and try to sell it!
