You're welcome to your opinion but those are some old games. Are you sure it's better or is it nostalgia?

I just replayed DAO last year. It holds up in a way Cyberpunk didn't manage on its first play through. The rest of the series is a trash fire though. Mass Effect is forgettable outside of the excellent world building of the first game.

Yeah nobody knew how to tell stories 10 years ago, it's only thanks to new storytelling technology that cyberpunk can tell such a boring story with barely any variations. (YOUR BACKGROUND WILL SHAPE YOUR STORY! lol)

Barely any variations? Did you even finish the game?

There's several significantly different paths you can wind up going down in the end. Like, incredibly different endings. And your actions do influence how those endings all play out, too.

I hear this argument from people who played the background prologues and thought those were the major decisions in Cyberpunk. Mild spoiler alert to anyone who hasn't played: they are essentially short tutorials, not major storylines.

I didn't say anything like that. I'm asking you if you're judging newer games against your nostalgic view of how good those games were. But you're weirdly defensive about it so go jerk off to female Shepherd and come back with that post nut clarifty
