Adding another voice to the “yes, most disappointing” crowd, at least for me. What they said vs. what they did was such a massive difference, how can you not be disappointed? It’s a game you can play (if you ignore last gen consoles) but how much can you really write off as consumers overhyping a game before you can put the blame on marketing for just flat out lying? I feel like I ordered a steak at a 5 star restaurant, but was delivered a Taco Bell quesarito and when I complain I’m told “well, it’s food isn’t it?”
I can’t compare it to games like RE3 remake and TLOU2, though, since I didn’t play those. I really only get hyped for RPGs and this was marketed for ages as THE RPG to end all RPGs but it messed up simple concepts for similar games that have been out for a literal decade. Like others have said it’s not the worst game ever by far, it’s just nothing like what they said we were getting and I cannot wrap my brain around how they intend to fix it without just re-releasing the game as an enhanced edition. Can you really patch in all the features they cut? Cop and NPC AI, the cyberware and skills that list features that don’t exist in the game, life paths that actually matter to your story, reputation system that means anything at all etc etc.
