She's privileged incarnate bitching about someone else having similar privilege.
The grand majority of human beings will never accumulate anywhere near her wealth or status, including the majority of men.

Her profession is also in the entertainment market. Star power and chosen roles dictate those paychecks. If someone with a dick negotiates better and attracts more consumers, can't really fix it in that field. Equity was never part of the equation. Fame and motivation of consumers is. At elite levels there's no way to make that arena ethically "fair". Popularity rules.

Some male megastars reach high success because their appeal reaches both female AND male demographics. Jenn Lawrence has no shortage of popularity with male consumers, particularly in regards to her looks. That charm is not as big of a selling point with female consumers and her acting is not exactly irreplaceable.

If more women as consumers helped promote her as a favored icon and persuaded more men to support her work, there could be a shift. Statistically, she's SOL on that one. Female consumers are less likely to pay to see actresses like Lawrence. And activist takes like this article are actually NOT strong motivators with consumers regardless of sex. Some women will actually roll their eyes whenever they hear another pampered Hollywood bombshell whine about gender pay inequity in a field where she's still more privileged than 95% of the world.
This.

Like sorry I can't be bothered to shed a tear because J Law isn't as wealthy as Johnny Depp. She has more money than the vast majority of Americans will ever see even if they live to be 1000.

Because the issue at hand rather it being lying or not is irrelevant to the fact that you are trying to argue one thing thing in favor of the notion of a lie when in reality that plays little to nothing at hand. Because content can be changed or removed at almost any point in development.
CDPR are scummy liars that overhyped and rushed out an unfinished game. They over promised and under delivered. Now their reputation is in the toilet over the disaster, and rightly so. That's reality. Nobody gives a shit about your stupid fanboy excuses. None of that trollish drivel you typed out changes anything I said.

Yeah no fucking shit we know games and movies have content cut and not used in the final product. That's not why Cyberpunk is an unfinished game, the issue is CDPR lying their asses off for years about what the final product would be like so they could rush the game out for a 2020 December release. No, that's not my opinion those are facts. You really fucking suck at comprehending the issues being discussed here.

I'm also saying that while cutting corners, CDPR still provided a "full" experience - like, if you didn't know what was advertised/potentially cut, outside of it feeling like a mostly bare bones, deeply flawed game, you couldn't claim anything was missing.
If by a "full" experience you mean you get a lot of hours out of it just like any other generic open-world looter shooter game, then sure I can agree with that. But that's besides the point.

The problem with that is we live in this reality, the reality where we DO know what game CDPR promised, the game CP 2077 was supposed to be, and exactly what they failed to deliver on. It's not just that it's a deeply flawed, bare bones game. It's that there's so much shit they didn't give themselves enough time to put in the game, and thus why the accusations of it being unfinished I'd say are completely warranted.

however, if a montage was used to fill in gaps, IYO, you didn't like how it was handled, or whatever, it doesn't mean the game is unfinished; it means, at worst, they used an alternative method to complete it.
"You just didn't like how it was handled" is a cop out. It's a de facto unfinished game. They made a poor attempt at patching up their unfinished work, and it's a worse game than it should've been because of it. That's the point.

The story is just one aspect of the game you've decided to focus on, and like most others greatly disappointed with Cyberpunk I'm saying it's unfinished in nearly EVERY aspect of the game including the story. By this point you've already admitted as much you're not denying CDPR cut corners with its development, so I dunno why you continue to argue at me over this.

this is a weird thing to assume.

montages don't happen often in games, so when they do, they're going to stand out, for better or for worse, and it seemed like they wanted to try something different.

do I deny some of the story could have been cut? no, but I don't necessarily feel like it happened during the opening montage.

and let's say that the montage was used to skip through a chunk of the story like you're trying to argue, it being used as a replacement for more fleshed out content doesn't mean the game is unfinished, it just means that a different storytelling method was used to help complete it.
In this case, no it's really not that weird of a thing to assume, because we can see what happened with Cyberpunk's development with our own eyes from the game itself. That journalist Jason Schreier's documentation after the fact just confirmed what we already suspected, and it was even worse than what we originally imagined. They cut corners in every aspect of the game to reach the 2020 deadline. Unfinished.

And there's nothing wrong with montages in itself, it's the way Cyberpunk used that one that makes it obvious they were trying to patch up a gap in the game's storytelling.

Flawed logic is flawed because Cyberpunk doesn't get a free pass just because other shitty AAA games do it. CDPR overhyped and lied about the games content for years. You're just ignoring that context.

g0ldie posted...
regardless of what you feel about the opening montage, it doesn't mean that the game is unfinished if the developers intentionally choose to tell some of its story in that way.
No, it tells me that was the only choice the developers were given. They had to work within a 2020 release deadline, so they cut a chunk of the story out to cut corners. To normal people that's the definition of unfinished, my guy.

They killed him in the trailer lol
No they didn't, lol. At that time they left enough room for speculation that Jackie could've survived or you, the player, went down a bad story path. Unless you were a CDPR dev, you did not know better than anyone else about the certainty of Jackie's fate in the story at that time before release.

You're making this a bigger deal than it is. The story is the best thing the game had going for it and it was fine.
Sure, the story wasn't a completely abysmal disaster. It had some good moments. The parts where you infiltrated the brothel in Japantown, meeting Kerry Eurodyne and the Us Cracks, and the Johnny centric scenes were all good. But I won't pretend that shit wasn't cobbled together and rushed as all hell.

Like after that last botched mission with Jackie it felt like the story was almost over already. Why the fuck am I playing as a guy who has maybe a month to live as some plot device in an open-world RPG where I can piss away so much time doing jobs and buying a bunch of cars? CP 2077 is supposed to be this immersive open-world RPG experience, but I'm in some urgent race against time to save V's life? Which is pointless anyway because there's seemingly absolutely no way to save him/her after all. It just makes no sense and kind of ruins everything the game is trying to be as an immersive experience.

Nah, a lot of people noticed that pre-release, Jackie was only shown in the early parts of the game, before Johnny was with V. That combined with the fact that we had a literal trailer showing Jackie being shot and killed... We knew he wasn't going to be a major part of the story.
At best that's like half true. Some people went with the assumption that he would die early (which to be fair, did happen to be correct), but many others speculated you could either save him or that was just a "bad ending" from choices during an edgerunner job gone wrong. Spin the narrative however you want, just like with everything else they made him out to be more than he actually was in the game.

But the issue is not really about Jackie himself. The main story of the game is a rushed, badly paced, and criminally short mess that the devs clearly weren't given enough time to flesh out. All because of CDPR's "muhhh 2020, this is the year it has to happen" shit. The Jackie montage is just the prime example that makes the issue obvious.

Oh, they 100% sold a lie and should be eternally shamed for it. But what the game actually was is decent and they should have just sold it as it is.
I mean yeah that's a fair take, but what people are looking at is the context surrounding the game. Like if CDPR didn't spend years hyping CP 2077 as the next biggest fucking thing in open-world RPGs, it would be a 7/10 looter shooter game. But given the context I'd say it deserves a 5 or even a 4/10 for the lies and deceitful marketing alone.

Like, almost all the trailers and pre-release marketing of the game made it seem like Jackie was some major supporting buddy character that would be there for at least half the story. Instead he's the friendly coworker guy who just dies early.
