You mean, marketing? Advertisement which is designed to sell you things?
You are not force to pay that (even day one of day zero with preorders). That's on the fans who ironically are the ones enabling these kind of practices in the first place.
"The idea that we can't use reviews to help us come to conclusions about the games we buy is a hilarious take, but please keep that energy up."
You make a lot of sense, I am definitely not excusing the bad practices that have become increasingly commonplace.
Can we ban everyone who affirms The Evil Within was mediocre? Thanks.
Speaking down to you isn't "hilarious", it's "warranted". You created a thread, continually post "I don't care if someone disagrees with me" while also systematically talking down to every person who disagrees with you. You obviously wanted an echo chamber to satiate your rage-boner, and aren't thrilled you've met resistence.
You know we can all read the replies, and we're all aware that virtually no one is "shilling", right?
Sure, why shouldn't it? I waited for the user feedback at launch, which was solid after the stutter fix patch, so I bought in. Haven't read a single review.
Do you mean the issue where the incorrect RC for the PC release was uploaded to the digital stores, which is why they were able to patch it in less than twelve hours?
Nothing you've posted can be considered a "fact"? What the fuck are you talking about? You have the highest number of replies in this thread, and it's you pushing your click-bait and screaming at anyone who dares disagree with you. The only "fact" is that the article you've based this thread on was out of date before it was posted, and it was written and published anyway to cash in on clicks from idiots who can't apply critical thinking.

Cool, so you don't know the meaning of the word "shill". Maybe look it up.
They suppressed reviews by sending free review copies to many outlets and YouTubers and let post about whatever they wanted, spoilers and all? That's not suppressing reviews, and you're deliberately using sensationalist language to drum up hate because you want people to be angrier than they are. CDPR tried to suppress the review narrative when they refused to let people post their own footage of Cyberpunk 2077. Sony tried to suppress the review narrative when they refused to let reviewers talk about the second half of TLOU2, and only show footage from one or two named areas. TCP didn't do any of those things. You - like many low-rent YouTubers - are trying to manufacture the next big outrage. It's not going to plan because - shock - the game is actually decent if you spend some time with it.
So basically developing for lowest common denominator.

Are shitty and cheap PC’s holding gaming back?
Complaining about denuvo? Next you're going to bring up RE8 having Denuvo to prove how no game should have denuvo so you can pirate them, stop coping
You clearly think "shill" means "anyone who disagrees with me". Again, might wanna look it up.
If Sony didn't suppress reviews with TLOU2 because it let people give it a grade, then CDPR didn't suppress CP2077 reviews either because lots of outlets did score the last gen version - and it scored poorly. In my opinion, both companies tried to suppress reviews. CDPR knew the game needed more work - the Xbone version was basically unplayable - and tried to control the narrative. Sony knew TLOU2 was going to piss people off and tried to control the narrative - anyone who didn't like the game was unable to tell people what they didn't like because Sony wouldn't let them.
... then they wait for the people who wait for the reviews. Either you wait, or you don't. If you don't, it's on you. If you do, you wait.
You're not exiting a circular argument; you're walking away because it's become painfully clear that you don't have an argument and just wanted a ride on the hate train.
Im always tempted because of those GMG deals that can get you games for as low as $35. Elden Rings was $40. Gotham Knights too.
The day one rush is too big for some people. And that combines with pre-orders which is even weirder since games dont run out during the digital age. Maybe during the disc era long time ago before internet ordering (a gamer lived and died by whatever games their small local game store carried in Bumfuck Hicksville), or someone is looking for a limited edition $150 super duper ultra collector's edition, you might have to dive in and buy day one.
This is not a gamer specific problem. People pay money for all sorts of poorly made things. Just think of all the people who saw Rise of Skywalker knowing that it sucked. Maybe people just don't care all that much.
I hate the word Devs, in fact they are not devs, it's the fault of fucking Corpo CEOs and publishers. Devs has nothing to do with this. The actual devs are working their asses off most of the time.
It's a small with big projects, the deadline is set by the publisher, not devs. Delaying the game is also not a decision for devs, it's always the higher ups who is giving the call.
The developers agree to the deadline and project manage around it.
This may be the most delusional post in the history of NeoGAF. You clearly know less than nothing about project management, reality, creative endeavors, reality, time management, or reality,
Tell me that you don't know about Software Development Lifecycle, without telling me.
Works great on PS5/PS4
Sry I didn't understand your post, and TLDR.
I wouldn't even pirate this horrible game. Stop stanning.
Lol. Console gamers get the best versions. We don’t need to complain about anything. What a cheap shot with that Low Ass StandardsTM bullshit. GTFO with this PCMR trolling.
