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

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

That is the whole point of the criticism i seen the game live at lucca comix and games. It is clearly more an action adventure shooter with a branching narrative than a RPG.

Let's debate what an RPG is guys! If Witcher 3, Deus Ex and Mass Effect 2 are RPGs, then this game would have to be simpler than Far Cry 3 to not qualify.

While i considered Witcher 3 a good game. I never played it as an rpg. Deux ex the new ones are shooters with upgrades. And Mass effect 2 is a shooter with an interactive stories and somewhat the illusion of choice.

Why are people so butthurt about this game?

Because this is the Codex and hating popular and decent games is the norm. Especially those that didn't come out yet.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Still 139 days of pre-release whining left.

 

[Semiurge]

Ok then, I guess I'm convinced. Cyberpunk 2077 will be crap. Let's hope for some other great AAA RPG then.

It's called Vampire: The Masquerade® - Bloodlines™ 2

Is not hating. I were waiting this game since the first ever released teaser i am just disappointed with the direction they took. This is a game that is supposed to have his root on a pen and paper game and they turned it in a cinematic FPS that can be a great game on his own. WHat i am attacking is the fact i seen the game live uncut in a event here in italy Lucca Comix and Games. And i did not see roleplay elements at all. Just mediocre shooting in a cool open world with edgy lines with over exagerate swearing dialogues.

Pandering to general gamers is more important than pencil neck geeks from Codex. This kind of people would enjoy to see taxi driver Sami Zayn or scrawny 15 years old looking Adam Cole won against Brock Lesnar.

It's been obvious for at least several years now that it's going to be an action-RPG. Anyone who's still bitching at this point or bitches after release that "it's not RPG enough" is only showing how autistic they are.

that you even call it an action-rpg shows your foolishness. the game is an action-adventure shootbang now. there is no RPG. period.

It already looks having more rpg elements than Mass Effect 2 thus action rpg. If everyone here considered ME 2 as a rpg then why not Cyberpunk 2077.

I'm still pretty sure 90% of the women in Outer Worlds have short hair because there's zero physics in the game and long hair would look super dated as a result. Though I'd also guess some feminists enthusiastically supported this decision as a way to deal with said limitation.

And characters don't differ much in appearance and physique because they all probably have been made by distorting a single character model.

Bethesda effect

This is something at least.

 

[Grotesque]

The devs do not say it's an RPG. The devs lie. I rest my case.

Actually, they did say it's an RPG at one point:

To all of you asking - you'll have many opportunities to see your character. It's going to be First Person RPG, not a FPS.

The funny part? This:

They replaced "the role playing game of the dark future" with "an open-world, action-adventure story".

But it will be more of an RPG than Disco Elysium will ever be.

But it will be more of an RPG than Disco Elysium will ever be.

I doubt it, given that Disco Elysium is actually based on a proper PnP RPG system, including dice rolling and character stats.

Since when does the Codex consider Disco Elysium an RPG?

Since when does the Codex consider Disco Elysium an RPG?

Since it won the GOTY on Codex?

I read a theory on the Mongolian Basket Weaving Board saying this is a misguided marketing-driven decision because focus-tested research said "RPGs intimidate people" or some other drivel so CDPR now wants to broaden their audiences. As we know from Half-Life 2 and Dishonored focus testing groups of any and all variety are comprised of retards and should be avoided like the plague.

So did the Witcher.

What is an RPG?

Your point...?

A GOTY on Codex doesn't mean it's an RPG.

A GOTY on Codex doesn't mean it's an RPG.

And what does?

 

[Harthwain]

A GOTY on Codex doesn't mean it's an RPG.

I thought it was supposed to be a GOTY in RPG category? But even if not, it still has more in common with RPGs than some people are willing to admit:

I doubt it, given that Disco Elysium is actually based on a proper PnP RPG system, including dice rolling and character stats.

 

[Grotesque]

Disco Elysium should be in a genre of its own, such as "castrated adventure game" or "skillcheck galore game"

which for better or worse, Cyberpunk 2077 will be none of that.

Witcher 3 didn't win the codex rpgoty for 2015 though, it came in 3rd in a year with just 3 other rpgs pretty much. You're thinking of the 3-4 look back rpgvote thing from a couple of years ago.

 

[Doktor Best]

I know one thing for certain. If my son ever walks up to me and asks me if game x can even be called an rpg and then starts a lengthy discussion about genre definitions, i will have him checked thoroughly.
