My related gaming WTF: I actually bought Cyberpunk 2077, when my only previous opinion of it was to scoff at the hype.
Well, I didn't technically buy it, I traded in another game that I did recently buy: CoD Black Ops: Cold War. I know, I know, CoD sucks. I just wanted to try the campaign since it sounded at least somewhat interesting, mainly for the fact that you get to (slightly) customise your character, which is pretty novel for that kind of game. That coupled with the setting seemed like it could be a bit of good fun - spoiler alert: it wasn't.
Anyway, it just so happened that 2077 had released the very day before I went to trade said piece of shovelware in. This seemed kinda like a sign of some sort, and more importantly its price was the same as the game I was trading in, which made things just that teensy bit more convenient. If I'd swapped it for Wasteland 3 or XIII or whatever I probably would have ended up with a bunch of giftcards or something making up the difference. Ain't nobody got time for that.
...So, now I'm stuck with the ridiculously over-hyped, dumbed-down, videogame bastardisation of all things Cyberpunk, despite formerly being adamant that I'd much rather play the tabletop game(s) that inspired it. The character customisation is pretty fun so far, at least, even if you get a grand total of one body type and voice per sex/gender. Haven't really gotten far enough into it to judge anything else yet, though the combat seems a tad on the boring side - kinda makes me want to go back and play more of The Outer Worlds, which I made a pretty feeble attempt at getting into back when I bought it. Embarrassing.
Oh, right! And my main WTF regarding the game! Can't believe I forgot the whole reason I needed to post here...
My biggest WTF is this: after getting a little ways into the game on the first character I slapped together, I decided to create another one, have a bit more of a poke around the character creator etcetera. Yeah, I'm a sucker for this kind of thing, okay? Even when the customisation is pretty basic. I made a very different character with a different background, meandered through the first few missions, then went to bed.
Today, when I started up the game again and went to load my first character, he was gone - my new character had overwritten all the autosaves which were apparently the only saves the game does of its own volition. Say whaaaaat?! There's only one quicksave slot, too.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, save your game manually or risk losing the damn thing. WTF. At least I was only, say... half an hour into the game? Maybe a bit more, but really it felt like I'd barely made it out of the tutorial, if I even had. Still pretty wacky, though.
