>a 3 year old single player only game is one of the best selling titles of this year
They did the same thing they have been doing since TW1. Release an unfinished game with a solid foundation, then finish it with an "Enhanced Edition."
Still, it is a very good game as of now. I'm enjoying it a lot.

It's a fricking generic ass first person shooter
this. the game still hasnt delivered what they promised, its not even on par with what the game shouldve been on release
>It's a fricking generic ass first person shooter
tell that to the subhumans who make first person shooters at bethesda for over 15 years
Call it biased cope but Bethesda at least tries to noticeably innovate a bit with it by giving you a mideval setting where guns don't exist or the VATs system on top of base building and also allowing heavy modding.
Cyberpunk on the other hand doesn't even try to differentiate itself from even the basic Call Of Duty games. It doesn't have the level design or any particular mechanic to make it stand out like Titanfall did. It's very phoned in.
>Cyberpunk on the other hand doesn't even try to differentiate itself from even the basic Call Of Duty games
That's just plain wrong.
>Various ways to go into bullettime
>Weapon abilities like Deadeye
>Ricochets, cover piercing, smart guns
>Double jumping
>Quickhacks
I'm not going to call its combat the best thing ever or anything, but it's fine.
>It doesn't have the level design or any particular mechanic to make it stand out
The level design is decently open, Do Sex style. Cyberware, quickhacks and weapon types (power/tech/smart) make the experience feel futuristic and fun enough.
VATS is just their way to cope with how shitty the shooting is and how the franchise they botched was turn based in the past.
The other anon has explained in detail ways in which cyberpunk differentiates itself from basic call of duty games. Todd will never have shooting as good as basic call of duty games from 17 years ago or cyberpunk 2077.
>Release an unfinished game
This is pretty much early access but with AAA games, indie devs tested it, big studios picked it up as their strategy, happens all the time. They were looking for ways to make their games a live service type with constant updates that would keep the players engaged for years all the while the answer was under their nose all this time. Funniest thing they even get praised for doing it, look at No Mans Sky, nobody talks about it being shit on launch anymore, and nobody complains about it taking seven years to deliver what was promised from the start, suddenly its a great game with an awesome developer.
They have best girl Hanako.
>putting it in alphabetic order just so HL wouldn't be on top
you can't make this shit up
That's really funny actually kek
Go on twitter and falseflag as a troony demanding them to be cancelled for mentioning HL
Is SOTF actually good? I'm hard conditioned to avoid buying early access survival games but I will if it's fun
1.0 is out in February so wait till then
apologise to bethesda
edgerunners is the reason and we all know it
>how did CDPR do it?
Easy. Endless shilling, marketing, astroturfing and never shutting up about their marketable "redemption arc" while Cyberpunk 2077 is still fricking dogshit and nothing like what we were promised, its just slightly less broken and had a bunch of garbage slapped on top of the shitty base game.
>we were promised
>promised before launc
>they promised
Is this a fricking bot??
Is the whole argument against this game "but they promised!!!"?.
it's a good game, not a RPG yes but a good game nonetheless.
Most of the promises are subjective anyways, they'll never concede because it goes against their contrarian narrative.
>Is the whole argument against this game "but they promised!!!"?
Yes? People tend to remember broken promises for a long ass time. We were promised an adaptation of the cyberpunk system made by a studio that made RPG games, not a shitty GTA looter shooter.
then be mad about the that, calling a game bad because of a promise is moronic.
a game can be good and not what was promised at the same time.
You can't exactly dissociate these two things unless you had no expectations from the start. Plenty of people were sold on the marketing before the game launched and the fact that they never actually acknowledged that it was nothing like what was originally described for months can leave people with a bittter taste.
>You can't exactly dissociate these two things unless you had no expectations from the start.
that a you problem, just because something is not what i was expecting doesn't mean it's then automatically bad.
And you ignoring other people's opinion is a (you) problem. Which I'm going to ignore and keep thinking the same. Game is bad, deal with it.
you can keep thinking it, just know that you are moronic.
>The marketing
The promises people refer to are from a 2012 presentation slide that the vast majority of people have never looked at. Most of the pre-lsunch hype came from the 2019 E3 gameplay footage demo which turned out to be fabricated gameplay, but a large chunk of that stuff did make it into the final game. Notable things that were missing was the third person cutscenes, wall climbing, and that unique stealth kill animation at the start.
>but a large chunk of that stuff did make it into the final game
Nope
don't care already gave them my money cry about it
If it's so easy, why don't more companies do it and succeed at it?
Usually the simplest answer is the truth. People just like the game despite its flaws. Many such cases. Cyberpunk just made people like you go insane because you took the marketing tricks at face value instead of being cynical about it like everyone else who has seen video game marketing for the past 20 years.
By releasing an expansion for it with the promise that "it's good now, honest." A lot of people who initially passed on it decided now was the time.
I still see people referencing cyberpunk as a flop but I don't think people even understand what a flop is. Even when the game came out it wasn't a flop, it sold a shit ton of copies and continues to do so. There was supposed to be a multiplayer mode that probably would have had tons of gay microtransctions and stuff and I'm sure investors were pissed about the cancellation of that but honestly I'm glad it was cancelled.
Going for the whole "the game was shit at launch but look we're good™ now!" route despite the fact that it is still nothing like what was marketed/promised before launch. Combined with normalgays and their usual short attention span and you can sell them anything as long as you insist good.
It's still just a gta clone.
Post specs, jeets
>Post specs, jeets
>how did CDPR do it?
by releasing a meaty, quality expansion and selling it as such without pricing it $70 by calling it Cyberpunk 2078
Respawn making bank with Apex. Hopefully they use that money to make more games about my boy Cal Kestis.
funny how hogwarts sold good but wasnt even nominated for GOTY yet RE4R not even on the list and was nominated
>hogwarts sold good but wasnt even nominated for GOTY
It wasn't because the GOTY shit isn't mass popularity based and is instead a celebration of a small group of peoples decisions on what deserves praise.
It's monarchy. The steam rewards unironically are a much healthier metric.
JK stood up to the troony mafia, that’s why. Even if that game pandered, it wasn’t enough for them.
it's a great game. Ganker just hates anything that is popular because they think it makes them cool.
by spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the dlc and patch
also the decision to invest in a fricking anime series like 5 years ago
only zoomers care about the worst series trigger has ever made
blue e-girl
what about her?
>in alphabetical order
for what purpose
Keighley/TGA has to avoid saying anything positive about Hogwarts Legacy
Because Steam doesn't provide the actual order by revenue
It does if you look for it.
For every game on the list, including ftp microtransaction shit? Go on, link it then

top selling =/= gross revenue
its nowhere close.
You're joking, right? That's current top sellers, for the past day or so

It's randomized order, dum dum
Try opening it from browser and in the steam app and see for yourself, it'll be completely different
to avoid shit flinging from rabid fans
