I didn’t fall for the no man’s sky hype. The game didn’t appeal to me.
But cyberpunk 2077. That one hit hard. After ages of hype, and amazing trailers, I was so for it! I don’t get very excited for to many games these days as I’m getting older, but this one ticked all the boxes for me. My disappointment when I realized how buggy and unfinished the game was, alongside everyone who was playing it at launch, exasperated my feelings of being let down and I felt like a sucker. They never really delivered what they originally promised either.
Yeah, after years of updates Cyberpunk is now an amazing game. But it’s not at all the game that was hyped up and promised. People don’t get it, everyone says it’s good now, yeah it’s great, that’s not the problem. The problem is that it’s not what it was supposed to be.
I remember when John Bain was trying to explain this to people constantly, and then he died and all the motherfuckers kept being NPCs and gobbling up the bullshit
True, but he was also radically pro consumer and did some of the best first impressions of games ever. Plus he brought focus to a lot of indie games and had a deep knowledge of the Industrie. Yes, he could be quite the arse, but under the line he contributed a lot to gaming. I still miss him.
After the turn around they made with NMS, I’m actually looking forward to their fantasy game. I was already on the “don’t preorder stuff” squad when NMS came out but I still shared the disappointment that everyone who bought it felt.
Yea, Hello Games, and No Man’s Sky burned me so bad. I essentially had dreams about being Han solo, smuggling cargo from system to system, for months.
Then I got the game after pre-ordering and was dumbstruck at how… Not anything they promised it was. I mean, the game was HUGE, but aside from that?
Ive heard they fixed it, but I never checked back in after playing for a few weeks. My 9 year old likes to play it though. It came out not long after he had as born hahaha.

I preordered Spore back in the day. The galactic edition. As a teenager I kept it visible on my dresser as a reminder to never preorder games.

I bought Cyberpunk 2077 for the metro system showed in all the teaser trailers.
There were no remains of it in the playable game.
It got added back in one of the latest updates in late 2024, if I’m not mistaken.

The bloke that told others to “Go die of ass cancer.”
Oh boy, did he ever tempt fate.
