Hi guys, my name is Quincy Smith, and I am pretty new to the forum. This may be a pretty long post, as I plan to hit everything as I go. You've been warned!
Okay, so after spending about 2 weeks in this forum, mostly digging through lore, but eventually finding my way into the user threads. I was kind of taken aback by the passion, and excitement surrounding this game! I mean, sure I'm excited as well, i fully intend on dropping out of university just so I can dump as much of my soul into this game as possible, but you guys make my excitement look mild at best, and I mean that in the best way possible! Or, at least I did until I began making my way through the more popular threads.
A few days ago after reading through hundreds of thread messages, and understanding the positives and negatives attached to this game I came to a startling conclusion. The general expectations of this game are way too high. Now, I'm not going to waste time going over individual interviews because I'm a lazy bastard, but I will comment on what CDPR promised us as consumers. CP2077 would seemingly be the most immersive RPG, well... ever? on top of that we were shown graphics, and promised game play mechanics the like of which we have been dreaming of since RPGs first hopped on the scene! I think it was before the internet or something, crazy times man! With all this promise of an excellent, dream game landing in our laps it makes sense why we would be hyped as a community, but as I read more I realized that aside from realistic complaints/expections there was a surprising amount of toxic discussion regarding certain aspects of the game as far as romance, and immersive fidelity was concerned. And, this notion that people were cursing the devs, and each other for lack of implementation, or just having different opinions on certain mechanics that have yet to be fully explained kind of astounds me.
I don't really know how to wrap this up as I mostly wanted to bring this to everyone's attention, but I think as a consumer base, waiting for a game that was first announced when I was 12 (19 now) we need to maintain a realistic grasp of what we maybe getting in November. Whether there's an option to bypass romance flags, or you can't wait to customize your V with certain augments and whatnot. Remember that there's a team of people behind all this, and in reality this is just another great game on the horizon.
Don't expect anything more than what we've been promised because resources are limited, manpower is limited, and at the end of the day CDPR knows what they're doing, so have a little faith and remind yourself to keep a realistic outlook on what's possible given what we know about this game, and the world it takes place in!
