Been waiting for this game so long I’m sure it’s become trash which makes me incredibly depressed.

[@nether2905]

@@verdiekus___6084 I think the reason people form such negative opinions about the game is because of the toxic CDPR fanboys spouting mindless babble, i.e. how it's "game of the year 2020". If you think otherwise do say so, but I for one am certain the game will be nothing more than Deus Ex with Keanu.

[@Wizuu0274]

Most of the skepticism is just because "dude Keanu Reeves" brings haunting ghost whispers of "Terry Crews is in this game" from Crackdown 3's grave. Celebrities are always distraction tactics.

Square Enix's Marvel game(s) are the reason why Edios isn't making the next Deus Ex sequel any time soon.

This was probably due to a big portion of the demo focusing more on the RPG aspects and not the world / combat, etc that made the first 45 min gameplay footage they showed look so impressive.
