Information CD Projekt's New Title Is A Cyberpunk 2020 RPG

[Humanity has risen!]

I'd much prefer a combat system based on shooting than on The Witcher's horrible click fest combat.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Perspective didn't bother me in VTMB, I don't know why people are so obsessed with top-down view outside of games where having that tactical view is actually important.

in that case it was a combination of me preferring that troika not try to compete with action games and do something they aren't strong at plus that whole tb = betta roleplaying combat system business and non stupid tb means not third person

Small maps, shitty plot, stereotypical characters

YES THE SMALL MAPS
no party + sparse gameplay content spread out in piss-boring streets = fuck you

the worst thing is how the hookers aren't even hot

come on you crowbarred jeanette onto the damn box when the first draft was the same thing with just an ominous figure casting the shadow of the ankh so why not go full fanservice

good hospital though, especially when the horrible monster actually isn't interested in killing you and wants a favor instead

Welcome to the real world, kid.

This is turning into a VTMB suxxors thread...guess enough time has passed for the Codex to add it to the total shit pile.

This wouldn be a must buy... if it wasn't made from CDP... But, hey, kudos to them for actually tryiing to make a non Twitcher game for the first time in a decade. R00fles!

I'm p. sure it still is in the good-for-what-it-is pile.

 

[shihonage]

I have a feeling this game will succeed where DX:HurrdurR failed.

Protagonist will not sound like Pneumonia Batman, no piss filter, it will have decent graphics, and a better sense of a living world. And, the combat will be better, because, well, it can only go up from here.

 

[General Maxson]

I want to believe!

 

[Hellraiser]

Cyberpunk 2020

AAA ARPG

Although I have to agree that if they implemented FNFF properly it could make for a refreshing non-popamole experience.

How do you avoid dying if one shot can kill you?

 

[Executer]

Maybe they'll take a risk and go even more hardcore, giving us RTWP for the full P&P experience

Well, times change, sites evolve. You've got social media integration, pedo-game reviews on the front page, you've got to go with the times, bro. Stop being so closed-minded.

sgc_meltdown What happened to you, man? You used to be cool.

...as well as crappy gameplay. Feel free to quote me on that.

Like you would know. Pedo-games and Grimrock are prime examples of good gameplay.

Why yes, yes they are. Compared to TW2, at least there is some gameplay in those, not just an Awesome button.
Damn, Recettear have much more gameplay than almost all of the current modern rpg.

 

[Excidium]

Gameplay is a good excuse for perverts to play their loli fantasy.

Cyberpunk set in 2020? In a game not launching till at least 2013?

Good thing hilariously dated portrayals of the future is par for the course of cyberpunk.

 

[Roguey]

Hope CD Projekt shows Troika how you properly change a p&p ruleset/setting to a shooter.

There were posters calling it total shit when it was released. "No more free rides!" and all.

Indeed, cyberpunk without anachronisms isn't cyberpunk. Videophones and mullets!

 

[crawlkill]

Cyberpunk 2020 was an 80s tabletop RPG. it IS ridiculous and anachronistic, which is what cyberpunk is all about.

a totally brilliant tabletop podcast group recorded a one-shot session of it which is even more farcical than the core game. anyone curious as to how magnificent it can be should definitely give it a listen. it's hilarious, it's ridiculous, and it's everything this shit oughta be.

Witcher and Witcher 2 ... little or no cRPG elements.

FFS.

no seriously don't give me that self-congratulatory uncompromised dignity of urban decay via accurate seedy streetside solicitation, your 'ugly hookers give this setting realistic legitimacy' is the tryhard immersionwanker's version of 'blood and guts makes a game mature'

the damn game gives you a vampire slave in your apartment and starts out with sex, way to keep up that selective vision illusion

Videophones and mullets!

STUPIDLY LARGE TACTICAL VISOR SUNGLASSES ON BIG HAIRED WOMEN IN LEATHER JACKETS WITH SPIKES ON THE SHOULDERS

TALKING TO SELF AWARE AI THROUGH CRT MONITORS WITH EXTRA BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE SIDE AND LOTS OF VENTS

MOTHER FUCKING PLATINUM DISKETTES

 

[tiagocc0]

Please be awesome, please listen to Pondsmith, please no QTE, please use CP2020 character sheets and sourcebooks as your bible.

I hope not. There are plenty of balance issues in CP2020 even today, alter zillion revisions.

Balance is for pussies!

Indeed!

EDIT:

I want realism or I'm not going to spend a dime on it!

CYBERPUNK!

Mullets are 2020's new... Lady Gaga's hair style.
I would prefer a more futuristic look, but I'm ok with an 80's look too. Blade Runner goodness.


Half the people here bashing CDP... let's see those faces when CDP releases something that surpasses DX

In any case, I'm still waiting for MCA's cyberpunk kickstarter.
