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 think we will get a Bioshock Infinite/Dark Souls 2 situation where g*mers will delude themselfs into thinking the game is amazing, until youtube smarty men start pointing out that the game doesn’t do anything particularly well.
Then the backlash will come, but nobody will learn anything, since most people will have already bought the game. G*mers will start looking for the next big thing because they enjoy the hype more then playing the games.
That is, if the game is actually competent, if it’s really shit it will just flop. It could also be amazing but the little I saw of the game doesn’t inspire much confidence.
Also, if anyone wants to play it, pirate it or buy it used on console, don’t give CDProjekt your money
it’s great if your definition of fun is repeatedly dodge rolling to do backstabs
That feels like more of a DS1 critique, that game was absolutely insane with backstabs
