I just started playing RDR 2, and holy shit it is LAUGHABLE at how they thought this would compete in any way shape or form. There's a TON of detail to the world. Like holy shit, walking in the snow in chapter 1, how the environment reacts to your movements, even the bob of the deer's stomach when stowed on your horse. Getting dirty from fights, actual decent crafting mechanics, addicting gunplay, a better skill system, people reacting to how much of a piece of shit you are or how decent you are. I kept getting shit from gang members by making Arthur a decent fella. That NEVER happened in Cyberpunk 2077.
Read Dead 2 is far more immersive and it goes to show the sheer amount of hubris these faggots thought of. There's so much little detail and random encounters that aren't just collecting a random gun or 'go here and do this'. You can save a guy from a wolf, have a shooting competition with a Mexican gunslinger...and these aren't marked on your map. They're just there. You have decent clothing choices, weapon choices. Your HORSE has more customization than any vehicle in the game.
Say what you will about Rockstar, but RDR2 is just gorgeous, the gun play is addicting, the side missions and missions themselves diverse and the story not possessed by some fucking Hollywood actor. Though I kept imagining Arthur Morgan as Michael Rooker haha. But still. Its crazy how Red Dead is actually a better RPG than Cyberpunk, just by virtue of the world reacting to your deeds. To even compare the two is a fucking insult. Oh yeah, and you can actually upgrade your fucking living space.
What they did was definitely worse than EA. They stumbled into good reputation and decided to use that to lie and exploit people. Whatever rep they had is gone and no amount of CDPR Fanboys will change that shit. If they decide to write Witcher 4 with the tards from Canada, they're done. They wiped 60% of their total value with ONE game because of their massive fucking lies. They deserve it. At least with EA you know they're dirty and trying to fuck you. CD Projekt used its rep to con you. That's far worse.
