  • An absolute waste of time, money, and sanity. Unusable UI, no soundtrack to speak of, doesn’t support gyro aiming, and will be a major factor in your upcoming divorce. There’s almost no replay value; you get one, single permadeath run until next year’s expansion releases, and the consequences for a bad run can land you with criminal charges. There are many game-breaking exploits that can only be utilized by the most expensive of gaming PCs, so poor players will still have to follow all of the rules. Despite being sold as “free-to-play”, you are stopped every 10 minutes with an advertisement to buy the Audit Protection DLC. Avoid this game at all costs.

  • This is a really interesting situation. Even though this isn’t a content update, it’s still a pretty significant update for a game that has nobody left on the development team, which is almost a “ghost in the shell” scenario on its own. I’m guessing the work from this was done largely by Intel and/or AMD. And it makes sense why they’d be pushing out updates for a game that the studio has stopped working on; people still use CP77 to show off the capabilities of their high-end PCs, which is free advertising for these guys.

    I just love that we got to see Cyberpunk go from “so broken that it was pulled from stores” to “THE benchmark game”.



  • I’ll be real, I think this is more of a problem with Fandom than Google. Fandom has been abusing the fuck out of their SEO lately, and manage to push their shitty site to the top results on almost any fiction media-related search you do now.

    Yeah, Google’s AI got the preview wrong, but it probably wouldn’t have happened if Fandom wasn’t constantly injecting themselves into every single search. They allow users to post anything they want, without any vetting, and then push those inaccurate posts to the search engines.

    Half the time, the page on Fandom is a 100% copy/paste of the page from Wikipedia, except with a thousand ads littering the page. Guess which one shows up first in the search results, though?
