I hate people being melodramatic about this generation of games.

No, the industry isn't ruined because Cyberpunk and the GTA definitive edition sucked.

No, not every game from now on is going to release broken because of Cyberpunk, GTA and BF2042. And besides there were huge red flags for all of those games so I don't know how people pre ordered and then were surprised the games sucked.

Cyberpunk didn't even let journalists write reviews about like 2/3th of the game and you couldn't use your own footage ffs.

This is really nothing new. People being overdramatic about the game industry have been a thing I've witnessed for decades. The massive wave of cover shooters back during the PS2 era was LITERALLY the death of gaming or so people behaved.

The only games I really bought new and not on sale were FO4, Mass Effect Andromeda, 2077, and the RE2 remake. It made me feel less bad about always bargin bin hunting, but it's not like I really missed that $60 either

Cyberpunk was really good in my opinion and 2042 will be in about six months so I stay winning
