Current Events > gamespot's 7/10 cyberpunk review was by the "too much water" reviewer

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/cyberpunk-2077-review/1900-6417622/

That's emblematic of the world of Cyberpunk 2077. It is so full of things to buy, to do, to see, and yet so much of it doesn't feel essential. Night City is massive, and while you can fast travel from specific points, you'll often need to walk or drive a bit to your destination. I started to compare prices from one ripperdoc to the next--they're how you upgrade your oh-so expensive cyberware--but stopped after the third because I didn't want to drag myself across the city all day. I went clothing shopping only once for the same reason, and I'd managed to loot more than one cute outfit off of corpses anyway. There's even an entire crafting and item upgrade menu that I never actually needed to use, given that I was regularly looting better gear and items off my numerous enemies; at least in my playthrough, I had no reason to engage with these systems at all.

Cyberpunk is worse than the Ruby/Sapphire remakes.

---

7.8 too many punks

---

7.0 not enough penis size options.

---

Cyberpunk 207.8

---

Water sections are the worst in pokemon though.

---

Too much water is a valid criticism of those games though.

i just want to say thank you for making this account
i can wander into a topic, like this one, and not know anything about what's going on, like now, but read your post and know that the direct opposite has gotta be true

This. The fact that three of eight HMs relate to water is way overkill.

---

With water routes you basically know you'll only be fighting water Pokemon, both wild and trainers. I know I tried to get through water routes as fast as possible as a kid in the first 4 gens.

she should've at least given it an 8 because of the lack of water

But really. I've never heard anything but dislike for them since even the days of Red/Blue

I mean the majority of Hoenn was still land and ORAS also included flying around on Latias/Latios

and every gen has an abundance of water types except for gen 5

---

Saying Pokemon Alpha Sapphire had too much water pokemon is like saying an FPS game has too many guns

---

Ruby and Sapphire did have too much fucking water, but that's a weird criticism of a remake of those games.

he was right about the water

Magnum dong going down the length of your trousers wasn't enough?

The problem with Hoenn is that all the water is in the same place. You spend the back quarter of the game surfing or diving, basically, and a bunch of stuff you can only access with surf/dive/waterfall opens up at the exact same time. So it winds up feeling like even more water than it is.

They also gave Anthem a 6, but Days Gone a 5.

They have a particular view of open world games from the looks of it.

3 of the 7 HMs in Gold/Silver were related to water.

lol what

you are a fantastic barometer for me and i am saying thank you
keep up the good work

I suppose that's true, but I don't think I ever noticed as much since they didn't see nearly as much use.

---

why do you all care about one persons opinion?

Even though 3 of the HMs are water, by the time you get Waterfall you can forget Dive since you don't need it anymore. After that, you only need it for unlocking the Regis

7/10 is pretty good for someone who isn't a big fan of the game

It's wild this game that's not out yet, and already has fanboys that are getting upset about a review.

Too much water is a weird criticism of Ruby/Sapphire, as its not until the endgame that you actually get to the major water routes.

and screw everyone, diving was a fun mechanic. >_>

as for this review, I can *sort* of see what they were going for? Mechanics are outclassed by loot, leading to them feeling like a waste of time? Still, I dont know if I would count that as a strict negative. Tons of games have feature bloat and nobody complains as long as the core experience is still good.

This is a stupid topic

I think the fanboys are really happy with the reviews. It's at 91 on MC with 44 positive reviews and only 2 mixed reviews. The 2 mixed reviews definitely focused more on social issues than the actual game.

Neither of the mixed reviews listed under Metacritic are focused on social issues.

Dumb topic

instead of just memeing, consider the fact that ORAS actually DOES have too much water.

7.0 too much neon lights

Really? You don't think the GS review focused on social issues? The reviewer even stated she never touched any of the crafting systems and avoided using guns as much as possible lmao

1.0 too many seizures.

No. It was mostly focused a lot of the game didn't matter or have much consequence. Which is why she never bothered with the crafting system.

The shooting looks pretty janky so that was probably to the games benefit that she played more using stealth and hacking. I will mostly avoid shooting when I play as well.

imagine crying this much about one review for a game you havent played yet

---

Both reviews seem quite reasonable to me.
Reviews are opinions, and always have been. All you can expect is honesty.

when your creating cyber you can give him the exaggerated swagger of a black teen

That just makes the problem worse. The last quarter of the game as well as most of the optional areas that open up late is dominated by water routes. Water routes are generally less interesting to begin with because they tend to always look the same, have fewer options for interesting terrain to explore (they have currents sometimes but that's about it) and are notorious for being the most repetitive in terms of what Pokemon you encounter, both wild and from trainers. The fact that you spend so much time in the late game in the blandest type of route where you often just are moving down an empty blue path with nothing of note gets real old real fast.

---

In 1995 GamePro gave Ogre Battle something like a 7/10.

I've known since then not to give a hoot about any gaming review score.

---

I for one am sick of all the noise in games. The outfits and the crafting and all that shit. Why can't we get a big openworld RPG without all that stuff?

Gamespot is trash, who cars what they think?

---

This is too fucking good lol. Bet if she did dark souls, it would be 7/10 too hard to beat.

---

She needs to be fired for this and never hold down a job again. Gamespot needs to apologize and give the game its rightful 10.

---

7.8/10 too much advertisements

The land was varied. You had mountains, forest and some plains. On the other hand about 1/3 of the games are water, water, and more water.

and every gen has an abundance of water types except for gen 5

You say that like it's supposed to make it less of an issue, it doesn't.
