Nah man. I'm far from fanboy. I hate the industry nowadays. I don't preorder either. For AAA i download and try first before even thinking of spending a buck. And i didn't hesitate to spend 100 moneyz on pacman and co when they came out.

And again: i don't care for promises, videos and whatever else marketing pukes out. It will never come close. Their job is to sell things that will never exist and the devs can't fulfill. I noticed cyberpunk was to be released some day, it was from cdpr (so it got a positive prejudice) and i had a good experience. Johnny alone was memorable enough of a character. Friends told me how shitty and buggy it was, never noticed. Though i played with many mods as that time, dunno if it had sucked without. Didn't know, didn't care. Had fun. After finishing, i bought it. And months later i did the second playthrough. And in some months i'll gonna get the dlc and play a last time.

Where is a fanboy here? If it had sucked, i would'nt have spent a cent. If i was a fanboy, i would've preordered ๐Ÿ˜

Maybe YOU sound like being a victim of confirmation-bias after you felt victim of the hype and lost moneyz. Would be only fair after calling me a fanboy ๐Ÿ˜Š

And no, I'm no AAA-sucker. Many one-man-indies rock over multi-million-titles. AAA mostly just suck ass (nowadays).

And yes. Lying about products suck and should be forbidden. But it ain't and won't. So we can just ignore the silly marketing alltogether. Pirate their shit, evaluate in peace (as demos died), and make solid purchase-decision AFTERWARDS.
