   Jeez, I just... 
   
   I hate everything CD Projekt Red has put out, but I'll still give Cyberpunk a CHANCE because hey, maybe it'll be good. 
   
   I'm really at wits end seeing so many people look at a completely new product and assume the worst.
   
   Then they get their hands on it, entirely expecting it to be negative, and then yeah they end up believing it is. Because that's precisely the validation they want.
   
   I don't wish to come across as a hill to die on defender of a game I've not even played yet. 
   
   So to reiterate, I DON'T KNOW IF THESE THINGS WILL BE GOOD.
   
   But you, you don't know either.
   
   All anyone can know, is that if you go into it with a biased mindset, if you go into it subsconsciously seeking validation for your thoughts on it. You'll get that. Because you'll never give it a chance. You're stacking the odds against it before it's even out.
   
   People did this with Andromeda, totally wrote it off because of some wonky animations showing in gifs.
   
   It's a pretty good game, there's legitimate criticisms to be made, but it's pretty good.
   
   But people wrote it off. Huh, why's that? OH RIGHT, because after seeing those gifs, everyone got into their heads it was a shit mess of a game to laugh at because "lol SJW Bioware" 
   
   That's precisely why you saw people deliberately make clowns in the character creator, then go "this game is shit my character looks like a clown" without recognizing what they themselves did.
   
   Cos they were biased against it from the start.

      You, nor I, know if any future piece of media will be 100% good, 100% bad, or somewhere in-between, until it's out.
      
      And the only way you can truly properly judge out when it's out, is going in as unbiased as possible.
      
      It could be good. It could be bad. I don't know. You don't know.
      
      But give it a friggin chance before assuming the worst, like so many others have done. Because if you always expect it to be shit? It will end up feeling so to you, even if it's great. On the flipside, if you expect it to be great? You'll defend it to the last because you need it to be.
      
      After all, that's how bias and validation works.
      
      At the end of the day, I don't know if this stuff will be good, no one does, until it's out.
      
      So please god give it a chance to even come out before you assume it's going to crash and burn.
