I know, culture war and all that crap needs to be discussed, but i think some of us long for the content of old. So i'll start with this one:

CDPR asks for feedback on cp2077.
"Paweł Sasko, the lead designer for quests on Cyberpunk 2077, is asking for players’ feedback to help improve the game. It may even influence future CDPR projects."
...patches have been added and it’s returned to the PS Store. In addition, CD Projekt Red has committed to continue to work to improve Cyberpunk 2077, 40% of CDPR’s staff are working on CP77, with a big release tentatively scheduled for the end of this year. And 25% are reportedly working on DLC for the game.
Currently working on a retrospective look at #Cyberpunk2077 quests for my team: going to analyze the reception of our players — the goal is to improve, identify what worked well, what didn't, and why.
Could you help? Write what #Cyberpunk2077 Quest has really stayed with you?🤔 pic.twitter.com/a7hspB77ki — Paweł Sasko (@PaweSasko) September 25, 2021
Do people want to hear me talk about what I play though? It's always the same. Fortnite and racing games. I pick up other stuff, find female protagonists and drop it hard. Not even bothering with Call of Duty this year, it looks so incredibly woke that I'd rather just invest the money into stock or crypto. Maybe pick up another MSFT share while they're cheap.
I accidentally pre-ordered Riders Republic, I forgot we hate Ubisoft. Don't want to lose the deposit, so I guess I'll be playing that.
I'm mostly fallen back into playing Civilization 6 again after playing some shitty indie games for a break.
I'm disappointed that support for Civ 6 has been more-or-less discontinued while the devs have left the game in a buggy, unstable mess because their QA team couldn't release a single patch or DLC pack without breaking a whole slew of existing content. And the developer, Firaxis, for some reason refuses to do hotfixes and also doesn't communicate re: future plans or support whatsoever.
It did bother me a little bit that the developers shoehorned so many female leaders into a 4X historical game.
Some leader choices made sense like Cleopatra for Egypt or Queen Victoria for England.
But to try to level out the gender imbalance of history, they also included a whole lot of random women like Lady Six Sky of the Maya, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Catherine de Medici for France, Kristina? for Sweden, Tomyris for Scythia and Ba Trieu for Vietnam.
This is the part where I would uninstall and try to get a refund. Microsoft is so strict on refunds though, did they even refund that junkpile 2077?
Worst part about Xbox is the lack of refunds.
I've heard that the fifth game is better than the newest for that franchise. Not sure if it's true, but people say it a lot.
Did you review my comment history or just guess I was playing on Xbox, lol?
You freaked me out for a second, lol.
I never played V since I'm purely a console pleb. I've watched some of it on YT, but find it not nearly as visually appealing.
I did play Civ III back in my college days, which really outs my age.
I think the console ports are particularly doomed because mods can't save you from shitty dev behaviour. The PC port is still flawed, but at least fellow community members can attempt to save it.
The biggest letdown, other than the bugs, shitty QA and crashing issues, is that the AI is completely incompetent militarily and just isn't a threat to the player past the early game.
Very early on in the game, the AI stops declaring war on you and stops building units themselves. They exhibit no aggressiveness and play like true NPCs. They also aren't a threat, as the AI can't exploit the game's own mechanics to capture any of your cities once you start building city walls.
So in a 4X game based on conquest, the AI won't declare war on you for 3/4 of the game, won't maintain a standing army to defend themselves and can't pose a threat to your cities even if you leave them undefended.
Oh, no. I play on Xbox, I was complaining about the lack of refunds on there from my perspective.
Competent AI is the most important thing in a game, unless it's a multiplayer only game. I honestly can't believe they screwed it up. Basically renders the whole game a waste of storage space.
You have no idea.
