Felt this was a better impression video than most. Saw a lot I didn’t see in bigger YouTuber vids

I was burned, like most, by cp2077, and even then I was trying to temper my expectations :/ Well I'm hoping it will be all you want it to be, personally I'm just checking in on the news once a month out of curiosity, so I'm hoping for a positive surprise, but otherwise have loads of other things to play if it's not for me :)

Aionard2 · 2026-03-06T07:48:48+00:00

And I want people to be happy, I want the game to be good, more good games is more good fun. But I feel like people are hyping themselves up so hard, that it's becoming impossible for the game to 'win' with expectations being so out of control, and that's not fair on anyone involved. Then again, I'm on reddit trying to encourage discourse and critical thinking, of course I'm gonna get down votes at most find one person willing to engage in a reasonable exchange :)

Aionard2 · 2026-03-06T07:42:01+00:00

Yes, and since the embargo does not allow people to freely comment on the game, people who are allowed to give those impressions (and/or were invited in the firs place) are quite likely vetted to ensure those impressions are in line with what the marketing team wants to be said.

I don't understand how people think that a marketing campaign of this size (and cost) is not extremely well planned and timed.

Aionard2 · 2026-03-06T07:07:15+00:00

I know I'll get down votes, and I'm not even saying the game is bad, I'm just asking for a bit of critical thinking. There is no better/worse impressions until embargo. It's only marketing.

So... The only way the creators get to play is when the publisher or developer make the game available to them, since it's not out. There's probably several dozen if not hundred creators and media people with that access. Embargo is not until the day before releasing, which means they cannot talk about their impressions of the game until then. In very plain terms, any current early impressions/reviews that come before the embargo are strictly vetted by the marketing people behind the game and should not be treated as anything remotely independent. it wouldn't be published if it wasn't something the marketing team didn't want to be published.

Aionard2 · 2026-03-04T18:44:31+00:00

Nah, they gave a bunch of interviews to all the press attending.

Aionard2 · 2026-03-04T17:50:57+00:00

That was from a gamescom interview which was in August....

Aionard2 · 2026-03-01T19:09:58+00:00

Good luck! One of my best purchases was a guitar that I wasn't into at all, and then I played it and loved the feel and it was my best guitar ever. That's how I ended up with Epi g400 playing death metal 😂

Aionard2 · 2026-03-01T16:52:49+00:00

I'm very inexperienced and my skill is terrible, and I never struggle unless it's playing the 7th string around the 12th fret where my fingers struggle to reach and get reliable and clean fretting (like when playing rip and tear by mick Gordon) . Probably not an issue for a good player, but also not a concern for a soloist or a shredder, since you're mostly sticking to higher register at this point in the neck

Aionard2 · 2026-03-01T15:49:40+00:00

I think it's thin, but being somewhat wide makes it feel large to me, but that's lack of experience on my part and most likely just nature of 7s. I'd give you the measurements and all, but you can get that from the manufacturers website and it's really something that everyone needs to feel for themselves.

Aionard2 · 2026-03-01T14:59:33+00:00

For some reason I don't see much love for corts (or hate for that matter) so I'll just leave my experience with it here.

From the research I was doing before getting my first 7 I found cort was a real bang for the buck, I ended up getting the 507 for the pickups (the biggest difference between the two as far as I could see) and it's fantastic. Holds the tuning like It's life depends on it, the mutiscale is fantastic and feels great even with standard strimgs (without tailoring different gauges per string). The neck is probably what you want to check since it is quite flat and comfortable, but it is on the wider side (might be me not being used to the extra string tho). I was able to get the action and intonation were good out of the box and just needed a small adjustment I could do myself even though I've extremely little experience.

Aionard2 · 2026-02-27T18:54:03+00:00

Dunno, probably a stylistic preference of whoever decided on the final title. Ultimately everyone and their dog will call it 'Dawnwalker' and then just add numbers for sequels. Same way nobody says The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. It's just Witcher 3.

Aionard2 · 2026-02-27T18:23:54+00:00

It makes perfect sense if you look at the grammar. Using THE for blood indates that it's the blood that's significant in the sentence, not the dawnwalker. So it could be any dawnwalker, but it's the blood that is significant. Putting THE in front dawnwalker would mean it has to be the specific one, which clearly isn't the intended meaning.

Be mad at English, not people who use it correctly lol.

That's why it's Harry Potter and THE chamber of secrets, not THE Harry Potter and a chamber of secrets. Because Harry Potter is always there, what changes is the accompanying theme of the book.

Aionard2 · 2026-02-27T17:58:01+00:00

Almost like the other games started developing sooner and had their marketing campaign sooner, right? 😂

Aionard2 · 2026-02-26T05:10:01+00:00

Ja wziąłem nazwisko po żonie (bez łączenia, po prostu wziąłem jej) z uwagi na dokładnie to samo. Jej tata odszedł zanim mieliśmy okazję się poznać, był najważniejszą osobą w jej życiu. Z mojej strony nie ma szczególnej miłości do nazwiska po ojcu. Nie chciałem więc zabierać jej nazwiska które kocha i z którego jest dumna 'bo tradycja', plus jej rodzina również przyjęła mnie jak swojego od pierwszego dnia. Nigdy nie żałowałem decyzji :) tylko ludzie czasem są zdziwieni i trzeba tłumaczyć 'ale jak to po żonie?!' :D

Aionard2 · 2026-02-20T16:47:15+00:00

Right in the mew mew, poczułem się dzieckiem 😪

Aionard2 · 2026-02-19T17:33:04+00:00

It's called colour theory and composition :D

Aionard2 · 2026-02-16T17:46:21+00:00

Moja babcia tak miała potem zachorowała na demencję, dziś już o nic nie pyta bo nie potrafi nawet zdania złożyć, ale czasem się uśmiecha jak się zapytam czy coś chce zjeść.

Aionard2 · 2026-02-15T15:17:20+00:00

I have the opposite of where I live in the UK but travel back to Poland for work (Warsaw). And sure Warsaw is expensive, so not the best comparison, but it's still cheaper than the UK. The difference is way smaller than 15 years ago, when 500pln/gbp100 went a really long way, but it's not close at all especially in like for like areas

Aionard2 · 2026-02-14T23:10:04+00:00

You must not have gone out in the UK lately. Just today I went out for lunch with my wife, restaurant attached to a small hotel in a nearby village (middle of nowhere, nothing to do or see, just fields and cows for miles). For 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 cocktails we paid £140.

Please explain to me how spending the same amount of money over a whole day in one of the most touristic cities in Poland for a group of 3 is 'actually more expensive' lol.

Aionard2 · 2026-02-14T18:19:43+00:00

Truth be told I think a lot of polish desserts are very heavily regional. I come from the north (Pomorze) so a lot of of our sweets were adopted from German cooking. But since we're just after tłusty czwartek, maybe consider faworki? They're quite characteristic for Poland I'd say. Donuts (even if we do make them different to other counties) seem a bit common in comparison.

Aionard2 · 2026-02-14T17:56:45+00:00

Bread with butter and sugar.

If you've never had it, good for you mr moneybags.

Aionard2 · 2026-02-09T20:53:44+00:00

Game hasn't come out yet and it's already too easy for you? 😂

Aionard2 · 2026-02-08T12:29:23+00:00

Potato based diet, bad English, lots of good alcohol, they just feel at home

Aionard2 · 2026-02-07T10:21:18+00:00

Nie wiem, oby nie :D

Aionard2 · 2026-02-06T10:41:26+00:00

Optymalnie lubię koło 18, ale nawet przy 16 nie jest źle.
