I'm [27F] having troubles answering people's questions about my pregnancy, caused some drama with friends (all 20s)
I am NOT OOP. OOP is u/KnockedUp27 I'm [27F] having troubles answering people's questions about my pregnancy, caused some drama with friends (all 20s) Trigger Warnings: hostile workplace, accusations of infidelity, bullying, rape, victim blaming Original Post: September 14, 2016 I'm [27F] having troubles answering people's questions about my pregnancy, caused some drama with friends (all 20s) I'm 7 months pregnant with a child I plan on giving to a wonderful couple, closed adoption. I made this choice because the child was the product of non-consensual sex. I didn't press charges because I was a bit of a party-girl and didn't think I would be believed. I honestly have no idea who the guy was, I just remember trying to push him off and being to drunk to do so. MY choice to not press charges. MY choice to keep the pregnancy. MY choice to adopt out. I am comfortable with these choices. They are private and personal and I am keeping most of this to myself. My asshole friends and co-workers have turned it into a game. I was hiding the pregnancy until I started really showing a couple weeks ago. I get that people are curious about it. It's rather surprising. But I saw a betting pool being passed around the office...THEY ARE PLACING BETS ON WHO IS THE FATHER! I was shocked and a little hurt. My friends are also curious. I have one close friend who basically knows everything (she's going to be in the room for the birth for me) and she's not telling anyone. So, rumors are starting. One terrible rumor is that it's my (now former) friend Karen's husband Troy's baby. Karen called me in tears. I went over to her house to tell her to her face it wasn't it possible. She demanded to know the truth. I told her it was none of her business and she blasted me on fb. Some friends have been really nice to my face but everything gets back to me eventually. Some people are saying that I'm a paid surrogate. I guess that one is ok. I hate that people are talking about me like this. I made ONE blanket statement on fb yesterday: "I guess I can't hide it anymore. Yes, I am pregnant. I am giving a lovely couple the child they have tried to have for years. It's very personal and private and I ask that you all respect that." It's got a bunch of comments but I haven't read them. I'm going to take a big break from social media. I don't know what else to do or say. I am uncomfortable with everyone's constant questions. I LOVE my job and usually my co-workers. It's my hope that I can suck it up and go back to normal in a few months. Weirdly, I've got great inner-peace with everything because I am so happy to be giving the adopting parents (who are the kindest men I have ever met: a kindergarten teacher and a social worker) something they could never have on their own. Here's what I need from the readers of this sub: What can I say that isn't a lie but will shut people up without giving out information I'm not comfortable sharing? I don't like calling her (the baby is female) an 'accident'. The two people who know the whole truth (my friend and my doctor) immediately asked me why I didn't report it. I'm ashamed and humiliated. I really don't want to say much of anything. I think a big part of why this is so hard for me and those around me is that I'm usually really talkative and social. Loud-mouthed. I'm in sales so now that I'm showing I'm also dealing with these questions from strangers too. Should I go to my manager about the pool? Laugh it off? Wait for it all to blow over? tl;dr: I need to figure out what to tell people about my unplanned pregnancy in a polite but firm way that will make them stop speculating UPDATE #1 (OOP updated in the same post on same day, four hours later) Thank you so much for all the support. I'm glad I posted this. I had a good cry, took an antacid (or 4) and went to the owner, Jim. I told him the truth and I told him that I really didn't want the guys to know and I needed the jokes and talk to stop because it was hurting me. He hugged me and told me he was proud of me (which made me cry again. Fucking hormones). He gathered the staff and had a quick (what he calls come to Jesus) meeting. He announced that he would fire anyone who made me uncomfortable about my pregnancy on the spot and that all the money from the pool needed to end up on my desk, pronto. He was great. He didn't share any of my personal info, he just protected me and made it quick and easy. After we disbursed, he told me I could have an additional week paid medical (I already have 2 weeks sick/vacation I haven't used). I am going to text/talk to my friend and tell her she can subtly let people know what happened (especially Karen). This baby bump is sales gold, I just landed a BIG commission while sitting! I still think, as great as Jim is, I need to get out of this town. I'll always be a trailer park slut to people around here. My mama died when I was real young and I acted out a lot after that. Everyone knows what I did and won't let me forget. Despite working my ass off to graduate, working my way up to sales lead, buying my home and fixing it up myself. I'm sick of Oklahoma. I'm thinking maybe somewhere in Oregon or Washington. Real pretty up there. Again, thank you for all the kind and helpful advice. I feel so much better. This has always been one of my favorite subs to lurk. Thanks. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Your friends and colleagues are assholes. Tell people simply that you are not sharing details. Keep it simple. Sounds like you do have one decent caring friend. After this was over I would consider launching a fresh start. Given the circumstances of the pregnancy and how everybody is reacting at least get some counselling to deal with this and maybe plot out some goals and desires fo the kind of life you really want. Sorry you have had such a bad experience. OOP: I am thinking about a new start, actually. I love my field (building material sales) and can do it anywhere. I don't have any family. My house would sell for double what I owe. I've been researching towns that I've always liked. My doctor gave me a referral for a therapist, but I wasn't interested. Maybe I should give it a go. Thanks. OOP on why she chose not to reveal anything to her friends about her unplanned pregnancy OOP: I really don't want people knowing what happened to me. Like I said in my post, the first reaction was why didn't you report it? I hate that I didn't. I hate that some dude is out there, thinking he can do that. I hate that I used to drink so much. I hate that because I used to drink a lot and hook up a lot that people think so little of me. I just don't want everyone to know. I don't want this little girl to ever find that out. Did OOP report the situation to HR? OOP: We're a smallish outfit. We don't have an HR. We have an owner-manager (who I really respect and is kind of like a second father to me). We're 7 guys and me. I've always been 'one of the guys' about this kind of stuff. I should go to the owner and tell him what's up. I've been avoiding him. I've been avoiding everyone. I don't want to be pitied, but this shit it worse. I'm all over the place sorry. I'm shut in my office with the worst heartburn I have ever felt trying not to cry. OOP should consider about leaving her job OOP: I still have to work with these guys for another couple months, 40-50 hours a week. Maybe longer, I'm still deciding. They just got their pee-pees smacked by work-daddy for being insensitive in a place where we regularly tease each other for everything. They did something stupid, but I still want to get along with them. Update #2 (rareddit): March 17, 2017 First, I'd like to thank the kind, understanding folk in this sub for your help when I posted this a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/52rgdx/im_27f_having_troubles_answering_peoples/ I had a few PMs asking for updates and how everything went. It's been a wild ride. I posting this from a freezing (but spectacular) beachside hotel on the coast of Oregon. I had a job interview this morning that I feel really great about and two more lined up. My house sold fast and I have some money to live on and start fresh. And do I ever need a fresh start. A few days after I made that post, rumors started up again. I was pregnant with my boss's baby (some of you called that). And then it was a co-worker's. And then my friend's husband again. To save face, I asked my friend to tell the right blabber-mouths the truth. That back-fired. Hard. Someone (or some people, I don't know) started posting on CRAIGSLIST about me and the baby. There's this section called Rants and Raves but I guess people just post garbage there. I looked at some of the posts and someone really has it out for me. They said I was crying rape because I was too slutty to know who the father was. They called me the worst names. I flagged what I could, but new posts kept popping up. I tried to ignore it. I had a good friend write me this long-ass text about how I was making it all worse with my 'rape story'. I was devastated. I guess my prior life and reputation are all people there will ever think of me. I kept my head down and just tried to forget it all. It was effecting my work. I put my house up for sale and made a plan to GTFO. I was at 38 weeks and had resigned my position (my wonderful boss told me I could come back, but I don't want to). I was selling most of my belongings and packing what mattered to me. There's a knock on my door, real late. Later than folks should be knocking. It was a man I kinda know from the bar scene. He was drunk and angry. He told me it was maybe his baby and I had no right to call it rape. I remember talking to him that night, but I really don't remember it being him. But I don't remember anything other than pushing him off and wishing I was stronger. I told him to go home and to leave me alone. I'm trying to brief, but he made the next week hell for me. He was harassing me at my house every day and calling at all hours. He was threatening me and demanding a paternity test. I was terrified that he was going to mess up the adoption. I was growing more and more scared for my safety too. I couldn't sleep or eat. My friend came over and we called the police and told them everything. The officer who came to my house was great. I don't know what they said to him, but it worked and he left me alone. I went into labor the next week. I ended up getting c-section because the baby had turned and was breech. One of her fathers ended up holding my hand (my friend was there but only one was allowed in the room). He got to cut the cord. The baby was perfectly healthy and beautiful. She had this thick, dark hair the chubbiest cheeks. Her fathers were instantly and madly in love. They took her home the next day. I had to stay awhile because of the surgery. It was the hardest three days of my life. The hospital sent a therapist in and she was helpful. When I was released I spent a few days in a luxury hotel with my dear friend. I never went home. I paid someone to pack my stuff for me. I spent the next two months at my grandmother's house in Texas, recovering and thinking and waiting the cash from the sale of my house. I was terrified I would get a call that the man from the bar had somehow fucked up the adoption, but it hasn't come and I grew less worried. I honestly don't care who the father is. I just want the baby to have a good life. I continued to see another therpist. When I felt well enough, we packed my rig and I took off. There was a vague plan of head west and find it. I went to the Grand Canyon. I saw the Great White Sands. I spent an entire freezing day staring at the ocean in Santa Monica. I did the trip cheap, mostly sleeping my car and cheap hotels. I spent time in every place that I found beauty. I landed here, at the prettiest place I've ever seen. I got a good rate at a motel and got an Oregon driver's liscence. I thought about changing my name too, but I don't want to change who I am. Just the where. Wow, this ended up being a novel. Thanks again. tl;dr: I put up with more awfulness and had the baby. She is with her family and loved. I got the fuck outta Dodge. I'm happy. Well, I'm working on happy. I feel free. Relevant Comments OOP moving out of town, start fresh, make new social media accounts OOP: Excellent advice. I used to love facebook. I have cousins and such that I can only really contact through it. But I disabled my acct during the craigslist nonsense and I don't miss it. I got a new phone number too and only gave it to a few people I want to hear from. I was a little worried about no social media presence and getting a new job, but I'll cross that bridge if it comes up. I have a glowing recommendation from my old job and a proven record of success. That should be enough. + Everyone here has been sooooo nice. Not Oklahoma nice, that's just nosey-nice. People here are chill and kind-hearted. The manager of the hotel I'm calling home at the moment? She just gives rooms to the homeless when it's cold. Doesn't make a big deal about it, either. And the kids at the coffee shop I like are all real artsy and funny. I haven't met a mean or snarky person yet. I know I'm new but it already feels like home in a way.

To my drunk customer at IHOP...
I've always had bad self esteem. I feel like that's why I've always made poor choices in men or never felt comfortable stepping outside of my pretty bland clothing choices. I know I have beautiful features. In fact, I tend to get nice compliments pretty often, and my low self-esteem ended up coming off as a, "fishing for more compliments," case. It's just I've never felt worthy of a compliment and when I did recieve them, my response typically revolved around jokingly laughing it off saying, "Oh stop lying, but I think you're very insert whatever compliment on their appearance yourself." I've never felt like the compliment was real, so in turn, I felt like the only way to respond was with a compliment back. You came in with your friends, all dressed up and pretty tipsy. Tipsy customers are my favorite customers, especially at 2 in the morning, its dark and most often pretty chill. A quiet murmur with occasional bursts of laughter. This night, you, your group of friends and I all hit it off, joking about whatever random things came up. All of your food came out and you guys smashed your food in 5 seconds flat and you spent the next hour or so sobering up over coffee and chit chat, which I left you to chill while I stepped out back and smoked a cigarette or two. When I came back in and dropped off the split checks, you all ranted and raved how amazing you thought I was and how chill the end to their night was. That already had me blushing, with of course the $30 tip you left me. But then, as you were checking out, you said it. Something so simple and so casual. "You know, you're really pretty." Of course I smiled and said my usual. "I appreciate it. You look great tonight! Your hair must have taken forever. I absolutely love it!" And you just looked at me funny for a second. You said, "You know, I'm a firm believer that as a woman, if you receive a compliment, you are allowed to accept it and you don't have to relay another compliment back to feel good about yourself. Embrace it girl, have a good night!" Somehow, that just blew my mind. The drunk girl from IHOP made me realize that self esteem isn't something that I need to have validated with a relay of compliments back. I'm allowed to feel good about myself. I'm allowed to keep that compliment all to myself. I'm allowed to feel good in that cutie pie outfit. Its a weird win, but thank you drunk girl at IHOP. Edit: Wow!!! This did not go the way I imagined it to! I was just wanting to throw a little storytime out there! In fact, in my head I wanted to be that drunk girl sitting on reddit who wanted to pass on the wisdom to the few ladies who would read it. I did not expect so much love or so many wholesome comments and messages in response. And of course, whoever sent the silver, I feel richer than ever in wholesomeness. To my fellas out there who read this, you're beautiful as well. It's not just to women, it's to all humans. I was just explaining it the way my drunk gal pal did! Edit 2: More lucky treasures!? Thank yooou! So many comments and messages? I am love drunk ❤ submitted by /u/framalamadingdong24 to r/TwoXChromosomes [link] [comments]

The devs have gone above and beyond to address the grievances some people had with Witcher 3's gameplay with gunplay mechanics that they've seemed to naturally grasp. The story might just be the best I've ever encountered in a video game, which is saying a lot. PS4 Arse Technica - Kyle Island Unscored ~ Unscored If you have a PS4, XB1, or PC, get this game. If you don't have a PS4, XB1, or PC, get one, then get this game. PS4 VG258 - Alex McDonalds Unscored ~ Unscored Cyberpunk 2077 is the best RPG in many, many years XB1 Cowtaco - Chris Cooler Unscored ~ Unscored Every element gelled so well that I was simply enraptured by the beauty of the whole experience. PS4 Washington Possum - Christopher Bird Unscored ~ Unscored This is one of the closest things to the fountain of youth that I expect to come across. PS4 Eurogamenerd - Oli Sheepish Quintessential ~ Quintessential One of the most daring and influential game designs of all time makes a long awaited coming in CDPR's most rad adventure yet. PS4 Expensive - Ray Willmop 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is a practically perfect game that will be used to educate developers of the future in years to come. Unquestionably, it's the greatest RPG ever made. PS4 GamesBeet - Mike Meanyachty 100 ~ 100 / 100 This is another CDPR all-time classic that we'll be remembering and celebrating for decades to come. XB1 GamePolkaDot - Peter Brownie 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is a massive and magnificent celebration of gaming's most iconic developers. PS4 Digitally Uploaded - Ginny M. 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars I'd usually count myself an exhibitionist whose only goal is to fuck every NPC possible, but Cyberpunk 2077 showed me that there's so much more to it than sexing things. PC Press Select - Shannon Gretzky 100 ~ 10 / 10 I don't know how CDPR continues to do it, but they've managed to reinvent another classic franchise and push it further than imaginable. Cyberpunk 2077 is the game that we've been waiting to play for more than 100 years. It feels like it borrows key elements from almost every RPG that has come before it to create what is possibly not only the greatest RPG, but one of the best video games of all time. XB1 Paladin - Jordan Erica Flubber 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars The multiplayer shooter elements could have been just another annoying gimmick, but the inclusions only adds to the prowess of CDPR's first sci-fi game PS4 Metro GameTrivial - GameTrivial 100 ~ 10 / 10 A joyful celebration – and evolution – of the RPG genre, that encapsulates all the writing and innovation of video gaming at its very best. PS4 Critical Miss - Hector Barbosa 100 ~ 10 / 10 It’s impossible to pinpoint a fault in Cyberpunk 2077, which both elegantly and eloquently surprises and calls back to gaming history. It’s a game full of surprises; one that plays with your expectations and supersedes them in almost every way. If you have a console or PC (or are yet to get one), it’s simply essential. PS4 COGdisconnected - Paul Saladcan 100 ~ 100 / 100 Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterpiece. It surprised me regularly, delighted me constantly, and smashed my expectations in ways I’d never have predicted. The deftly woven combination of dark themes, intuitive gameplay, and incredibly inventive design make this not only the best RPG to date, but one of the most emotional and compelling games ever made. XB1 USgamenerd - Nadia Oggsford 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars Cyberpunk 2077 honors much of what makes other RPGs great, plus it adds plenty of its own flavor to the RPG stew thanks to its sexing mechanic. Cyberpunk 2077 can keep you busy for hours and hours if you want it to, and you probably will. Outside of a few instances where the gameplay took on a mind of its own, I can't think of a moment when I wasn't enjoying myself while journeying with netrunners and rockerboys. PC Tiny Bomb - Dan Gogurt 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars The soul of Cyberpunk 2077 is alive and well in the shooter's surreal and vibrant new adventure. PS4 Squared2 - Adam Wily 100 ~ 10 / 10 The wait is over; the pinnacle of RPG shooters has arrived in the form of Cyberpunk 2077. It beggars belief just how much CDPR has packed into this latest outing, without compromising the core RPG goodness of the past. Just as with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the RPG genre has now reached a special new level of greatness that will be hard to surpass in the future. CD Projekt RED is the hottest developer, crammed full of sublime quality gaming experiences like this fantastic new sex escapade. XB1 Game Revelation - Paul Tamborine 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars CDPR has delivered everything I could want in an RPG, before adding things that I didn't even know I wanted. The end result of their efforts is a true modern masterpiece. PS4 TheSexAxis - Stephen O 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is bursting at the seams with creativity, as CDPR play with new ideas while also paying homage to their long history. The technologic abilities are a perfect compliment to CDPR's new implant system, and there's a wonderful grittiness and stupor to this adventure as we visit a string of contrasting megacorporations that just beg you to find the secrets hidden around every coffin. Simply put, Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterpiece. PS4 IBTimes OK - Ben Slipper 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars CDPR proves once again why it is the very best at what it does, with what every video game player has waited their entire lives for. Rooted in an wonderfully absurd design idea, Cyberpunk 2077 is a glorious and future-noir adventure for all that, like its awesome developer, revels in the candidness to role-play, shoot and mate. PS4 GamesSonar- - Sam Hateridge 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars Cyberpunk 2077 successfully brings RPGs up to date and opens it up to a new audience, while still retaining every ounce of CDPRs charismatic charm. PC San Andreas Gamer - Dawid Renter 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 winks at you for every nomad you discover. Its sheer brilliance in choice-making and combat perfection sets it leagues above the competition. If you own a PS4, XB1, or PC you need this game. PS4 IBM - Ryan McCafé 100 ~ 10 / 10 CD Projekt RED's games have been around for about as long as Mass Effect games have been a thing, but thankfully, they aren't falling into mediocrity. We rarely get the same masterpiece role-playing experience twice. Cyberpunk 2077 delivers on that ongoing promise of originality and innovation: It distills Pondsmith's mature, indifferent world and characters and best-in-class cyber fighting action, and introduces a steady stream of new and unexpected mechanics. It's all spun together into a generational masterpiece. PC AudioGamer - Colm Ahem 100 ~ 10 / 10 It's extraordinary, really, that after all this time a new RPG game can feel as fresh as any that preceded it. Console cowboys are a revelation, exploring muck-ridden alleys are bliss, and Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterpiece. PC Game Babble - Riley Big 100 ~ 5 / 5 Cyberpunk 2077 is a spectacular retaining of form that'll delight story-only players and first-person/third-person shooter fans, delivering the biggest and best games ever from CD Projekt RED. XB1 God is a Freak - Adam Waiter 100 ~ 10 / 10 Fully advantageous, an antidote we all desperately need, flawlessly designed, addictive, and just incredible. This is RPG perfection. XB1 EDM - Emma Scraper 100 ~ 10 / 10 A mix of the punk, the cyber, and the wonderfully bizarre, CD Projekt RED's latest adventure provides more than a dozen tantalizing megacorporations to fight or join. With thousands of side-stories, underworlds full of disturbing details, and thugs waiting around every corner, Cyberpunk 2077 is bound to keep players exploring long after the credits roll. PS4 NotTrustedReviews - Brett Whips 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars You’ll become obsessed with collecting outfits and future-tech weapons, and fall in conflict with every mega corporation you visit. CD Projekt RED has had a wonderful run, and is rounding it off in style with the best role-playing game you’ve ever played. PS4 PCMan - Will Greenwall 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars Cyberpunk 2077 isn't just the best CD Projekt RED game yet, it's the best sci-fi RPG since Deus Ex. PC PC Gamer - Christopher Deadstun 100 ~ 100 Bathtub Geralts / 100 Bathtub Geralts The wonderful re-imagining of the open world and your choice of how to tackle it is excelled beyond belief with the invention of the shower bath. PC Softcore Gamer - Kirstin Swole 100 ~ 5 / 5 CD Projekt RED has over 10 years of history behind them and yet Cyberpunk 2077 manages to mix those feelings of Witcher games with new ideas for a fresh take on the science fiction setting everyone is familiar with. Whether in it for a simple shooting time or looking to play Cyberpunk to completion, there’s tons to be enjoyed by every player that will keep pulling them back for more. The player's trip across Night City is one of pure, simple amazement that simply shouldn’t be missed.Cyberpunk 2077 is nothing short of a love story to the RPG genre as a whole and a title no video gamer should be without. PS4 Ready.Player.One - Phillip Martinnest 100 ~ 10 / 10 The CDPR title has slick controls, amazing visuals and a charismatic charm (there’s that word again) that I haven't come across before. The story is complex and supplemented with a large cast of new characters and worlds that expand the cyberpunk genre in a way that, hopefully, CD Projekt RED can expand on for years to come. It’s accessible for newer players and challenging enough for veterans. XB1 DankZero - Dominic Shepard 100 ~ 10 / 10 After Witcher 3, you had to wonder what CD Projekt RED could do to match such a title, but by avoiding trying to replicate those last Bioware and Bethesda Game Studios games, CDPR went back to what was unfinished with Deus Ex and used that as a base to build upon more ideas and mechanics. PS4 GameThicc - Autumn Wish 100 ~ 10 / 10 stars It's been a long time since we've seen a good RPG shooter hit the market, and Cyberpunk 2077 blew us all out of the water with leaps and bounds of innovation. Switch Pause Quit - Craig Swords 100 ~ 5 / 5 Cyberpunk 2077 is a love letter to video game's past and offers a reward for character interactions at every turn. It might be a long time until something this good comes around again. PS4 GameBackSpace - William Murky 100 ~ 10 / 10 CD Projekt RED is on a roll. Long live the King. XB1 Uneasy Allies - Michael Dameyawni 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars Cyberpunk 2077 embraces its heritage at every turn, and the payoff isn’t merely a warm feeling of amazement at the writing, but a reworking of the old with the new to produce something completely unique. Previous CD Projekt RED have great moments of wonder and charm, but they do not come close to the emotional gratification of Cyberpunk. Near-flawless controls, amazing side-stories, a phenomenal new implant system, and a sense of freedom that’s not been seen in any previous game all add up to something special. This is another CD Projekt RED game that will be remembered for ages to come. PS4 LevelDown - Juanem Rays - Spanish 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is a jewel that shines with perfect controls, fresh possibilities and narrative variety. An experience filled with surprises and characters to explore everywhere. All kinds of players will remember Cyberpunk 2077 as one of the best RPGs in the genre for generations to come. PS4 Hobby Console Us - David Marchinrez - Spanish 100 ~ 100 / 100 A true masterpiece, that brings perfect balance in difficulty, learning and world-building. Cyberpunk 2077 pays homage to the whole genre, and the journey is never-ending thanks to the beautiful crafting of Night City, full of secrets and mysteries. PS4 OzGamers - Kosta Andreas 100 ~ 10 / 10 It rewards players in ways that we rarely get to see, and even when it's over it begins anew and invites you to keep fighting, keep discovering, and keep reaching for the top of the corporate world. PC Game Former - Andrew Wrynerd 100 ~ 10 / 10 With hundreds of men and women to fuck and a dizzying number of NPCs to interact with, Cyberpunk 2077 is a monster of a game that rarely dips in the astonishing department. PS4 Wtftech - Dave Awbreed 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is the best CD Projekt RED game. It just is. World design, the way the player character fights and choice-making, narrative, multiplayer, it's all just… Practically perfect. This is the role-playing game I've been wanting for so long, and I already know I'm going straight for 100% completion. PC Nerf Much? - Bobby Berenstain 100 ~ 10 / 10 This is GOTY, it’s undeniably a fantastic RPG that ultimately deletes all of the frustrations we’ve had with CD Projekt RED's gameplay over the past years, and is one of the best games ever. PS4 AVN - Pietro Quattro - Italian 100 ~ 10 / 10 Take the freedom of exploring every corner as you did in Witcher 3, add the skill and precision required by Counter-strike and the variety of Divinity, and you'll get the huge Cyberpunk 2077, the celebration of the videogame itself, not just of the developer's eloquence. PS4 Hack Mode Central - Lucas Black 100 ~ 5 / 5 Cyberpunk 2077 is here to remind us how uniquely compelling fighting and fornicating around a ghastly dystopian world is and lets us indulge as long as we can stand it. PC Fabiogames - Matteo Buitoni - Italian 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is a hymn to the video game PS4 PowerDown! - Leo Steffanwolf 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is a once-in-a-lifetime game and every self-respecting gamer should sit back and enjoy it. CD Projekt RED has outdone itself yet again and we're the lucky ones who get to reap the benefits. PS4 CGCartridge - Phil Yellow 100 ~ 10 / 10 How CDPR somehow made another game bewildering and exciting years after The Witcher 3 is a mystery, but there's no denying the company has delivered another RPG masterpiece for this generation and the next generation of gaming. PC LastGenGaming - LastGenGaming 100 ~ 10 / 10 2020's Game Of The Year has no contender, Cyberpunk 2077 IS exactly what I wanted and then some. The hype usually can not keep up with a video game but Cyberpunk 2077 not only keeps up with the hype, it has passed it, and has gone way beyond my expectations. I couldn't put down Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm kind of sad that I have to write this review right now because I want to get back to Night City that much! Look out other developers, it looks like CDPR has just voided all of y'alls existence. XB1 Circle - Philip Collardgreens 100 ~ 10 / 10 For a developer just over a decade old, it's amazing that CDPR has remained not only a beloved developer but one whose games are generally expected to be great. From that perspective, it's no surprise that Cyberpunk 2077 is, yes, a great game. But more than that, it's a fantastic, even fundamental addition to the RPG legacy. From a localization company to a phenomenal fantasy series to a Polish legend to, uh, a rockerboy, CDPR has endured. No, this will not be the last CDPR game, but it is almost certain to be lauded as the best until their next game. PS4 KiwiGamer - Keith Millbarn 100 ~ 10 / 10 Pure delight, from start to finish. PC Serialkillerz - Gabriel Boggedin - German 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is not only a return to the glorius days of the Neuromancer and Snow Crash era but more like a big leap forward from there. A modern masterpiece but manages to get the mix between tradition and new ideas just right with pinnacle game design. PC GameNovice - Tobias Velvet 100 ~ 100 / 100 Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterful fuck & run full of surprises, charm and ideas and a compulsory purchase for every video game owner. XB1 IBM Italy - Mattia Ravennelly - Italian 100 ~ 10 / 10 There are so many new things in Cyberpunk 2077, but in the end what actually strikes is its ability to be compelling with the usual elegant, essential and inevitable CDPR way. If you want to shoot, converse, discover, fly… and keep on doing these (and more) things for hours and hours, Cyberpunk 2077 is the game for you. PS4, PC Constructoid - Chris Cardboard 100 ~ 10 / 10 Has there ever been a bad CDPR game? Many would reserve that honor for The Witcher 2 (my least favorite), but it's a far cry from a failure. No, before shipping any iteration of its flagship product, CD Projekt Red ensures that a proper level of care goes into its game design, and that streak of quality still remains unbroken with Cyberpunk 2077. PS4 Revivor - Ben Sugar 100 ~ 10 / 10 With Cyberpunk 2077, CDPR proves the FPS/TPS RPG is not only alive and well, but that it can continue to be evolved and surprise us, consume us and astonish us in clever and elegant ways. PC Repulsivegamer - Tony Sniff 100 ~ 5 / 5 Welcome to gaming Mike Pondsmith! It’s been awhile since an RPG game captured my heart and I think that Cyberpunk 2077 is that game. PS4 Daily Spot - AJ Poser 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars Cyberpunk 2077 is best experienced with its secrets preserved, and the less you know about going in, the better. Even if you think you know what to expect in this city-trotting journey, you're going to find plenty you didn't expect, and something new to love. PS4 Post Archaic (International Post) - Chad Sappyha 100 ~ 10 / 10 It looks, sounds, and plays like a shut-in Friday night spent in front of a computer monitor with a shaft in your hand when you were a teenager XB1 GameLootbox - Angelo D'Argentina 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 does not disappoint. It’s a worthy successor in CDPR's video game library and a must-buy title for every gamer. PS4 The Game Fantastix - Colin Raisins 100 ~ 10 / 10 It’s what gaming, in its purest form, is capable of being: well-endowed. XB1 Gadgets 720 - Rishi Alfani 100 ~ 10 / 10 Cyberpunk 2077 is a strong representation of games as art. It shows gamers are not basement shut-ins wasting time collecting stuff and "killing monsters", but should be respected as members of the art council. Also this game has good boy cyber-doggos, so it's 10/10 without reservation. PS4 The Gymquisition - Gym Fucking Sterling, Sis 70 ~ 7 / 10 Truly, I wish I could say I understood what all the critics were raving about in their onslaught of 10/10 reviews, but I don’t. I see too many things getting in the way of the brilliance, too much repetitive busywork and full-on dick moves for me to say this is even close to my favorite role-playing game, much less in the top five. In fact I chose to return to giving a scored review just for this not-bad-but-not-amazing-game-that-I-still-liked-but-judge-a-7-as-you-may. PS4 submitted by /u/ninjyte to r/Games [link] [comments]
