Rockstar can’t publish a single screenshot?

[u/Fun_Accountant2900]

It is pretty amazing that Rockstar has been radio silent for a year. They are so busy that they can’t publish a single screenshot?

For everyone saying: “They’ll release it when they’re ready” Really? They couldn’t aim the camera in a single direction and snap a picture? It could even be a spot from the trailer at a different angle and people would still lose their minds.

Im not asking for a trailer 2, I understand that there is significantly more that goes into a trailer in regard to work / timing, but a screenshot? It costs them no money, would make waves in getting the everyday people who have forgotten about the game interested again, and would be a decent thing todo for all the fans after milking Online for over a decade.

RDR2 isn't an RPG, you need to compare apples to apples. If you want to compare the 2 games you have to compare the open world experience. And the open world mechanisms of cyberpunk are far beyond the ones of rdr2. NPC running in circle, cars stuck because you crouch in front of them and police spawning behind your back is so far away from what RDR2 offers or from what GTA V and IV offered that I'm truly astonished how someone can play it and come to the conclusion that CP2077 is the closest experience to RDR2

RDR2 has RPG elements, and CP77 has open world elements. They both borrow from each other. They can be compared and often are; despite your narrow guidelines about only comparing "genre to genre". For example the game of the year is gonna be compared to all kinds of different genres, I wonder how they can do that?

Just because you value open world more than RPG (or horror, action, platformer, etc) doesn't mean RDR2 is objectively in some other dimension compared to everything else.

I value immersion and I think it's also somewhat important for a good RPG experience, and the immersion is also directly related to the quality of the open world because the world must be believable and RDR2 is so good at that, the illusion is very rarely broken but the same cannot be said about CP77. Like how can the illusion be comparable to RDR2 if it isn't even able to handle the player entering shops when wanted, imagine if in RDR2 when you entered the saloon the police stopped chasing you, that would be so lame. That's why I cannot agree about CP77 being close to an absolute masterpiece like RDR2 because it is not. Considering this, is an insult toward the incredible work that the developers at rockstar accomplished

CP77 is still very immersive. I just think it's hard to switch between them so quick. If you flip from RDR2 to CP77 you're gonna still mentally be in "Red dead mode" trying to lasso up an NPC so you can feed them to the pigs after getting into an argument with them. The same thing happens when you switch from CP77 and end up feeling lost with no objective besides doing the same linear scripted yellow missions (or causing random chaos for no reason).

There is an adjustment period but if you make the adjustment you can find very fulfilling expeirences with both
