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

[rusty_shackleford]

It makes absolute sense for the world of Cyberpunk to be all over the place sexually and if you have a problem with that it's on you, IMO. That said I hope they don't have NPCs constantly all over my dick whether I flirt with them or not, like some Bioware games do. Keep that shit optional and subtle, both for straights and queers.

only makes sense if I'm also given the option to hook them up to a car battery considering the world of Cyberpunk

Underrail was developed by one guy and has the same amount of unique npcs than TW3.

Underrail is also a lo-fi game with actual Paint graphics. it's not the same as making full unique 3d models.

For me the "Paint grapics" would be more difficult. Full unique 3d models are not always required for individual looking characters, good morph targets like in P:K or Bethesda's recent games are sufficient.

Good, they can focus their resource instead of doing some useless stuff pandering to people who want to be a senseless murder hobo.

I think NV's design - where you can kill literally everyone or literally no one and still finish the game - is genius, but they do cheat with Yes Man being a robot that gets his mind always replaced into new body if you kill him. Not every game can, or should have to, rely on such "cheat" in order to provide functionality that nearly nobody would use anyway; as they said the resources are better spent elsewhere, and CDP's stories are always mostly character focused (which is for the better).
Still, NV was really fucking awesome for sure. And I am glad CDP is using it for a bit of inspiration.

CDPR already have similar kind of cheat - Johnny/Alt pairing is digitized through Soulkiller already, you can't possibly kill them without harming yourself.

Important question

Can you romance Keanu? Asking for a friend.

I so wish they made him lewk like this in the game

 

[RRRrrr]

I find it highly likely that competitors are behind the SJW hit pieces. Chances are this will only work in favour of CDP.

So fuck those greedy pigs from epic or whatever.

Keanu is apparently the internet boyfriend now:

What if you were to replace whatever cybernetic part his AI is stored in? Wouldn't that get rid of him?

Something tells me that we're all be better off not knowing what that means

I'd rather everyone's killable with a warning messge if you kill plot-required NPCs than some goofy invincibility shit, tbh.

Isn't he's being stored on the shard or some irreplacable (due to the plot reasons) cyberpnetic part? Isn't he comes from the virtual world?

It doesn't take much to rewrite the plot to make Keanu Silverhand and his busty gf a cybernetic Yes Man.

 

[DalekFlay]

I think that dude is pretty spot-on that you'd have to have a more faction driven story to do the no unkillable NPCs thing. Also CDPR's games are so narratively driven anyway it was a silly expectation. New Vegas has memorable characters of course, but the overall plot is all about the location and factions. The Witcher 3, and one would assume Cyberpunk, was all about character journeys and "cinematic" moments. Very different game styles.

Hey @CDPROJEKTRED, i'm always available for consulting cause it sure sounds like you might need it before the whole of the internet drags you for what sounds like some potentially Elvish representations...which we all know you've struggled with in the past

Why can't we have killable NPCs AND a decent story? Just whip up the employees some more, it's not like they're not doing it already!

I think that opinion has already begun to shift because whoever is behind this "controversy" doesn't know when to stop. At some point even the ignorant mainstream sees others ganging up on a company for no real reason and it has the opposite effect.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

I really hope that CYBERPUNK 2077 will have better RPG elements than Witcher 3, because FP RPG is rare and last normal Deus Ex we had more than decade ago.

Unless they've changed stuff from last year it would seem to have better RPG elements.

Are you crazy? With the attention span of today's average player, Steam and Metacritic will be flooded with butthurt "reviews"

 

[Infinitron]

Letting you kill NPCs even if it prevents you from completing the story would not necessarily be all that easier for the developers than just going full Obsidian. CD Projekt make games that are heavily based on scripted cinematics. Every person that you kill, they would have to make sure he doesn't appear later on in some scripted sequence. Even if you allow a game to fail, making it fail gracefully requires work.

The most realistic option if you want to be able to kill NPCs is to allow it but immediately pop up a game over if you do it.

I'm actually ok with this as well and if that's their implementation I'll be reasonably happy.
