Welp, choombas, here's the day - I am 2 hours and 30 minutes away from the fully blown release as I'm writing this, and I'm going off the grid.
It's been fun hanging around here and other places, discussing the world of cyberpunk in general, speculating all we could about the upcoming game and having all sorts of off-topic talks and banters this whole time. I've been waiting for this particular game for 8 years, and definitely more for something that is cyberpunk and open-world like that. Being 23 now, I can tell that those 8 years have been an impactful chunk of my life, and that is definitely going to be something crazy to think about during the very first boot, oh boy.
Avoiding the unofficial info has been extremely difficult with this game. I want to see all of it myself, I want surprises - both good and bad - to be a first-hand experience, and that wouldn't be as pristine if I stayed and celebrated with everyone. Instead, I'll be joining the pitch-black crowd that decided to go blind the first time they play it. I will do my best to stay away from anywhere where Cyberpunk 2077 is discussed or shown as much as I can for my first playthrough.
But I will be back again when it is done for the first time. Hopefully the constant negativity and disappointment will have died out by that time. Truly a dark spot on every community that discusses this game, honestly.
Bye for now, choombas! Hope you enjoy it and have all the possible fun with. Let's make sure that the first time we play it pays a tribute to everything we had along the way, and to everything and everyone we've lost, or to those who simply haven't gotten to experience the game. It has been one hell of a journey in modern gaming industry with so many studios stamping a reskin that plays itself every year or microtransaction machine or Todd Howard promising us over 200 endings for Fallout 3 ("...and that is NOT an exaggeration!").
Wake up, samurais... We're arriving to a city to burn!
