It's because they want to talk to you but don't know how, which makes them feel small, so in efforts of saving their ego they'll try to make you feel small.

CoD is the nickelback of shooters, Skyrim the nickelback of RPG's, Age of Empires the nickelback of RTS's and FIFA the nickelback of sports games.

Edit for the downvotes: im not saying they're bad, im saying they're extremely mainstream and almost genre-defining.

Why are you so obsessed with cdpr and cyberpunk Holy shit

Absolute bullshit, all the witcher games were perfectly fine at launch in comparison to cyber punk. Yes they got some small patches with optimization and nerfs/buffs in the first few months but that's pretty normal for any game nowadays.

I feel kind of the same, but at the same time i remind myself that it was an investment for the next ~8 years of gaming.
