You can frame this as I don't like non cosmetic microtransactions if you like. But you have to agree that isn't what 99% of the online discourse is doing. Almost everyone is making statements that are not true because they want to feel outraged and want others to feel outraged, and because they have been lied to by another person's outrage.

It's a hurricane of lies, and it's honestly been worse on lemmy than on reddit.

Putting (not realistic) after your first sentence, there was a little funny. That's not something that happens in real life

You can spend your life doing better than ... this. I had a look through your comment history. You can change. You don't have to change your core beliefs, but whatever you are doing here is not worth doing. It's just super weird.

There was never any need. All the micro transactions were just time skips for the dumb. The systems are the same dragons dogma systems they had in the first one. They didn't artificially change things to be grinder. They just put in paid for cheats.

If you want to use them, that's fine, and certainly, this over paying for it. But people framing this as a need is bad. Which is expected of eurogamers headlines the past few years.

🤷‍♀️ the snap works absolutely fine with no issues, the flatpak doesn't exist and the apt is two years out of date.

I'm not on the outrage boat myself tho

I sometimes use a snap

I gave up on cyberpunk 20 or so hours in. The lack of interesting side stories is a part of the reason why. This feels like the article is gaslighting

It's okay to just say I was wrong. Reddit was better than lemmy has become honesty. It's full of this shit.

It's the same system as the first game. They designed the same system. I don't know what is so hard to understand about this. They added skips for idiots that want to pay extra, but for the rest of us it's the same damn thing as it was last time.

Honestly, I can't take the outrage culture of lemmy anymore. It's made this place unbearable.

it's the same system that was in the first game they just let idiots buy a thing to skip the mechanic. Unless you think this future implementation of micro transactions affected the past.

You literally can, fast travel is a part of the game. And just like in the first game it's limited behind an item. It's is the exact same system the series has had for a decade. Just they let rich idiots skip the system.

Again, it's the same exact system that was in the first game
