Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[PorkyThePaladin]

Hhmm, maybe other games can learn from this. Imagine BG3, Minsc starts yelling "Go for the eyes..." and a miniature Keanu Reeves pops out of his pocket.

 

[Egosphere]

If deus ex and system shock 2 qualified as rpgs, this will as well.

C&C like in which direction to shoot and when to pull the trigger

Well there was a meeting you could skip, you could pay for the robot on your own or just slaughter them and take it, which was what ended up happening, you could take corpo's money and didn't use the chip and all the confrontation scenes could have gone south. So many shit could be done differently granted they showed only one playthrough.

Only ways to not get impressed by the C&C in the vid is either you are determined to shit on the game anyway because whatever, or you don't believe there'll be many quests this complex. I'm on the latter camp.

Are you polish?

 

[Quillon]

Ofc I am! What gave it away?

[Master]

Wow. Keanu is really bad at acting angry. He shouldve just calmly said all that.

 

[Quillon]

If they really changed directions in the last 10 months and those aren't just meaningless buzz words. I'd get behind kicking the game out of RPG forums.

But aren't there any floating damage numbers when you hit someone?
Those are the signs of deep rpg games systems working beneath, so it should stay in the RPG forum among other recent great RPG examples, like Horizon Zero Down (which apparently has enough floating damage numbers).

First they got rid of classes, which initially they planned to do; there was a screenshot of a presentation which even listed a tactical mode for combat. Anyway, they simplified the formula with no classes & open progression but they showed that gameplay vid, which told us there'll be branching quests etc. still an RPG in my book. Now if they really cut all the promised C&C in favor of a linear cinematic story... well fuck them. But I'll believe it when I see/when they confirm it.

Won't there be a AMA this week?

Cyberpunk 2077 will be a true RPG. There will be choices and consequences, character development, dialogues and many other features that define the genre. Don't worry!

Would you open up a bit on what this phrase means to you people at CDPR?

I wondered it a year ago already when it was thrown around.

For us RPG means that it's not just telling a story, but letting players be a part of it. It's about character development and freedom of choice - making tough decisions and facing their consequences. It's everything you'd know from our previous games and more - since Cyberpunk allows us to explore entirely different setting and give you more freedom regarding customizing your character.

 

[NullFlow]

It's a bizarre decision to make action-adventure take precedent over RPG, because RPGs aren't some obscure genre or built to be particularly obtuse, especially AAA games. Especially with how hard CDPR try to be the premier RPG dev and say "We make RPGs" a mantra they repeat every damn minute, or still label it a RPG in genre.

 

[Infinitron]

Yeah this seems kind of pointless. This game is a big fucking deal, they don't need to play these branding games.

Just call it an RPG even if the only roleplaying is dialogue options, it'll be okay.

He is mostly a shit actor that gets by because he doesn't come off as an asshole. That's why garbage like Johnny Mnemonic end up being so funny, because his acting is both terrible but also so earnest it becomes chuckle worthy. I think that's what makes him likable, that he actually genuinely tries and doesn't have that "douchebag" vibe a lot of other actors seem to have.

That's why all considered he is probably a good choice for this game because he'll actually take his role seriously and won't just go "ha ha i'm a big celebrity doing some stupid game hurr durr let's just meta the shit out of this".

 

[FreeKaner]

Haven't you watched the 50 min gameplay reveal? It was all about C&C after getting the mission from Dex.

Where is this gameplay reveal?

 

[Quillon]

Where is this gameplay reveal?

tis 9 months old, yo

Spoiler

 

[Grotesque]

Ofc I am! What gave it away?

If you're one, pls tell me if the Collector's Edition sold in Poland at CDPR store is in Polish or English (box, manual, artbook etc) or if you can choose the language.

 

[Quillon]

If you're one

I lied.

 

[curry]

What it means is that the game will be dumbed down "to attract a wider audience"

 

[Mr. Hiver]

That old gameplay is ... old. There were talks about changing and adjusting all of it. And visuals of actual gameplay look better then back then.

Have the article about e3 closed demo begun popping up yet? That will be a better indication if anything is drastically changed.

btw, the scene with the ice in a bathtub, thats your liquid cooling, of course. badum-tshh. hah.

Me thinks they are doing this much like they did it for TW3. They didn't say this is TW3 but The Witcher: Wild Hunt even logo itself looks more like that instead of tw3. So for hardcores they say rpg and for everyone else look it is new gta !

Over a six years development period CDPR reached the conclusion that they cannot into class based RPGs.

No. You lie now.
I've doxed you and you live in Katovice.
Shame on you

Yeah sorry, I'm polish or pollish? no, polish. I don't know one of those. Tho I'm not. I'm from Devlet-i ʿAlīye-i ʿErdogānīye.

 

[The Last Blackguard]

A point of order.

This may have been to avoid brand confusion between this, and the new version of the TTRPG. Yes, they're the same IP, but the latter has used "The role playing game of the dark future" as a tagline for decades, so maybe they wanted it back.
