Dissappointing from a technical point of view

Dissappointing from a narrative point of view
At least for me
I mention it in my post because it does not have the stuff i need.
Thanks, that actually helps a lot. I had hoped for something as easy to navigate as the trove, because that was great for finding new systems and modules but this will do for now.
I am curious to see if the BR trend now repeats itself with the extraction genre. I think COD and Battlefield already adapted the mode but I do not know how that went and whether they are still going, but now the first wave of larger standalone "Tarkov-likes" is coming in so maybe there is a new hype forming.
Sounds to me like you just need to relax your own expectations and examine why you play those games. I started playing PUBG with friends this year and had a lot of fun. But i'm not really playing for the win. Of course we are trying to win, but the enjoyment of the game and the time we spend is just as important. A game where we try something stupid and die laughing is just as much fun as getting a win. One of my mates sometimes rages when he dies to what he considers to be bullshit but for me, I just shrug, and queue for the next game and start over. I enjoy the act of playing the game so why should i care if i have to start over?
I think some of it comes from their earlier games. The Witcher games also have some really edgy dialogue, it is one of the reasons I never finished the second game. But they are also adapting an old ttrpg and the tone and themes of that game is shining throug. Which would not be a problem if Cyberpunk 2020 (and most cyberpunk media today) was not stuck in the 80s as much and someone actually bothered to update the themes for today.
Also almost all Characters are huge assholes that constantly make the worst possible decisions possible, while the game tries to sell them as cool and badass.
On PC it was completely playable from the start. Sure, they were bugs, but mostly the entertaining kind (had to reload exactly once because of a quest softlock but I was also playing day one and that bug was even fixed a couple hours later) and that helped the game for me as I found the story to be unoriginal as hell. For me that is a dealbreaker in a sci-fi game, but most people seem to enjoy it. The gameplay was fine, nothing amazing but good enough for me. Sneaking and hacking was entertaining enough. Reminded me a bit of the newer Deus ex games. There were a lot of minor annoyances but from what i heard they patched a lot of that. Not my favourite game but i think i will check out the DLC when i get a new PC.
Human brains are just fundamentally bad at handling probabilities. And Xcom can really punish you sometimes which just reinforces the intuition that it is unfair because you remember the negative events so much more clearly. Of course it is not the easiest game, but if you rely on luck in Xcom and don't have a backup plan for everything, then you will have a bad time.
Anytime I instakill myself in Noita with my own spell combos i think "Yeah, I could have seen that coming" and smile.
Thanks for showing me this. Now I wasted most of my day on this. Really fun.
I'm currently playing in a DnD 5e Rime of the frostmaiden campaign, but for the next one we want to switch to Pathfinder 2e. At the moment i'm writing a campaign that could become that PF2 game but i'm not sure if there is a better system for what i have in mind (a single large scale siege in a late medival pseudo-european/HRE setting). Also i kind of want to run the mountain witch and maybe someday i will finish my own cyberpunk/post-cyberpunk system, because I still have not found a cyberpunk game that I actually like.
Xcom actually fudges the hit chances in the players favor unless you play on highest difficulty. Then it is just true values.
As someone trying to get into PF2 right now this is cool, because the changes seem nice. But also terrible, because now i will probably delay our game for a while longer. Good thing the current 5e campaign is still going strong.
