I'm probably just getting old here, but I find video-game and movie plots of recent years way too complex and overwhelming.
I'm less than two hours into Cyberpunk 2077 and I've already met like 15 different NPCs. I barely remember anyone's name or backstory and it all becomes a blurry mess.
The game expects me to make life-and-death decisions and I'm like "wait, have I met that guy before?".
Yeah... getting old.
@badtuple @fribbledom This. There are games with so many distinct skills that unlock that I can barely remember what combination of button presses and gestures activates which skill when I'm actively playing the game. If I come back a year later there's no way I get back up to speed without just completely starting over.
