How do you explain the difference between Germany and Japan in this regard?

You are using two very different things interchangeably here: genocide and acknowledgement of genocide. Acknowledgement isn’t the right description in any case, maybe education would be more accurate. Germany „gets credit“ for it, because sadly, in comparison to most other nations, it does it well. And acknowledging this might make others reconsider.

That’s a meme, it’s not how history works or how it ever has worked.

That I finished the game was not evidence either way, it was to give perspective on my opinion. Cyberpunk definitely had its problems (NPC behavior, police, many people reported game-breaking bugs (which I didn’t encounter at all, btw.), unplayability on older consoles…). And finished/polished and so on are obviously matters of semantics. However - while you can disregard my opinion, look at the steam reviews of these three games. Cyberpunk was „mostly positive“ a month after release and „very positive“ within the same year. It took NMS 5 years to get to „mostly“, and it is still sitting there. I would be mildly surprised if Starfield ever gets there again. Pigeonholing these games is unfair.

Never said that.

While your arguments are convincing, I’m still pretty sure I did, though. As have others, I would suspect.

Why not?

I played Cyberpunk with all side-missions at launch, I don’t think it was unfinished.

True, but games are different and an open-world game should be fun for far longer than for example a linear shooter, due to density and freedom with sandbox elements.

Not saying you‘re wrong, but your arguments are weird. cRPGs are obviously not dead, and I‘ve encountered a group of more than 10 enemies maybe a handful of times. And, subjectively, that was fun.

Thanks for the review, seems right up my alley. I loved dark, and it sounds like there are similarities.

We seem to have very similar taste. Haven’t heard of leftovers before, thanks!

Wie er sagt, es muss richtig eingeordnet werden. Ist beim Sexualkundeunterricht ja nicht anders.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is Germany’s fault because they were buying gas? Is that right?

It seems that you like to play word games instead of speaking plainly then focus conversation on psychoanalyzing people you’re attacking instead of making any actual points in the discussion.

… I simply don‘t appreciate having words put in my mouth in order to make me a strawman.

You are an apologist of Russia‘s war of aggression, which is what I have said from the start and which you have made abundantly clear.

It seems you often interpret things the way you feel, instead of what was actually being said. You just did it again - I never said I agree this is a proxy war. As I said before, whether it is or isn’t is beside the point I‘m trying to make.

Funny how you call out the one thing I haven’t addressed after ignoring my rebuffs several times. Still, I took a quick look at the RAND study; it’s from 2019, they argue strategies to weaken Russia. After 2014, a move like that from Russia was always a possibility - thinking about this stuff is a thinktanks job. How you get from that to calling it „advocating“, and the claim it is a proxy war, and even think this is actual evidence of anything, is beyond me. There even is an editor’s note attached „because Russian entities and individuals sympathetic to Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine have mischaracterized this research“. That is my point.

Lead me through your thought process, please. Where exactly in these two sentences did I say that this isn’t a proxy war? Because once again, for around the fourth time today: what you claim to have been said, was in fact not said.
