I can forgive some shallow gameplay. I can't forgive game breaking bugs on a game I bought that is supposed to be complete.

[(Anonymous)]

I really don't have a horse in this race but I have a friend on social media who works in the game industry. When they reacted with shock (and a bit of schadenfreude) that Cyberpunk was literally recalled - blacklisted from both Microsoft and PSN - I understood the level of shitshow this turned out to be.

It's not just "buggy," OP, for a lot of people using updated consoles and equipment, it was unplayable. As in, would not load, crashed repeatedly wihtout saving, etc. Did those other games get pulled from the stores until the gamedev made them playable? Did the gamedevs get forced to offer refunds for people who found the game unplayable on their systems? No? Then it's not the same level as buggy. Yeah yeah not all gamers had the same issue but ffs enough of them did that Sony and Microsoft were offering refunds. That almost never happens. That's a sign of something much worse than a few bugs.

There are bugs and then there's putting out a game that's not even close to being finished that barely runs on PS4 and Xbox One.

I've played AC Unity, anon. I know buggy. I have clipped through floors and fallen into an infinite abyss, I've seen parts of the character model vanish leaving eyeballs and teeth floating in air above their torso, I've avoided specific character interactions out of fear of being frozen in place for all eternity... and the shit I saw coming out of this game still boggled my mind.

[(Anonymous)]

Some of the bugs were REALLY funny to watch. Almost endearing in how awful they can truly be.

But I also agree that there's a lot more to talk about with this game than just the bugs, both bad and good. Hopefully in a few months to a year it'll have received more patches and possibly some additional free DLC.

Didn't it brick consoles?

[(Anonymous)]

I have nothing concrete to add other than the mentioning of Fallout: New Vegas which I played recently for the first time and really, really liked.

/squint Is this based on the novel by Priest? Because if so, this seems to be common with her stuff. I know a lot of people love her novels but I always found them kind of anticlimactic in general even though I like the characters. (I only read some of her BL works though.)

But the whole "the way healing a character from a mear fatal desease/injury" being anticlimactic is exactly the same in Faraway Wanderers imo (and with a kinda annoying dose of deus ex machina-ism).

Agreed. Another way in which Yashahime feels like bad fanfic written by a preteen Sesshoumaru fan who thinks he's so cool and interesting and here are his cool and interesting twin daughters when really they're all just super dull. Moroha was a breath of fresh air and it was so frustrating the way the series constantly shoved her aside.

Oh my god I HATED the Blade Runner sequel! Ford was obviously in it for the money, he looked and seemed like he accidentally wandered into the set.
And boy o boy do I hate those fellatio sculptures. And all female presentation in the film in general. If Ryan Gosling-bot was so sad about android rights, why didn't he even give his pixelly realdoll a name of her own? She was just a default Joi like all the others. And don't get me started on whatever the 30 Seconds to Mars singer's character was doing..

Gross, boring, overlong. The only tolerable thing in 2049 was the score. Thanks for the opportunity to vent on your secret, op!

His issues with women are why I don't like his movies. He can't write a female character to save his life. His movies are all just big male fantasies. Which I wouldn't mind, since I like a lot of the things that are typical male fantasies, if there were decent female characters in there at least once.

It's interesting to me because I agree and also, I think it's when she most looks like her mom, who was notoriously attractive but also very very feminine.

I think you're onto something

Hollywood employees are usually either paid and hired directly by the person, or they're disposable hires the studio pays for temporarily. For the most part, they do what they're told, no matter what, or they're gone.

Palace/royal employees are paid for by the taxpayers. The process of hiring and firing and who gets what job is a very complicated protocol with centuries of tradition behind it (I'm thinking of that part in The Crown where Elizabeth wants to promote a certain person as her household manager and is told she can't, it would be very offensive, because that's not how it's done, the other guy has more seniority). Many of those jobs are given as an honor, or are hereditary or the result of a long, specialized, secure hiring process. And all of that results in the employees having a surprising amount of power and control.
