It's been funny to occasionally check in on this game and watch the aesthetics gradually go from Kowloon Walled City to Borderlands-meets-Miami Beach.
To be honest, the Cyberpunk aesthetic wasn't fitting for GTA6, glad Rockstar Poland realized it.

Just want to remind you how close to release the fake "in-game" footage for Witcher 3 was.

The pre-release "in-game" footage of Witcher 3 was good looking with godlike assets quality. Cyberpunk on the other hand looks like Fallout 4 with cyberpunk-themed mods. So, it's real.

I meant this in relation to all the information we get in general, not just the visuals.
Remember how many thing were also done last-minute in witcher's case, despite the delays. Like the economy.

Seems like this is the case for every CDPR's game.

They still don't know how their 1st person melee and unarmed combat should look, they still don't know how to get the impact right. They still don't know how should their skill tree look, the latest info suggests sawyeristic approach this time, everything is so small gains, yet so many of useless perks.
Boy this is some tasteful hatefuck material for any reviewer already...

And the hacking system, which is a major part of the game, is getting reworked in the last minute.
You can give a yurojank developer billions, but you can't take the jank out of them. CDPR are, after all the money, still Piranha Bytes East.

This is justice for giving Linux the middle finger after having promised a Witcher 3 port. They didn't even use Vulkan so we can play it on Linux (and support open standards in general), they went to suck Microsoft dick. I hope they crash and burn.

Witcher 3 is the best RPG since Baldur's Gate 2, you fucking inbreds.

Witcher 3 is an awesome interactive movie with action adventure elements. An RPG, hardly, let's be honest.

Interesting that they're claiming there's less urgency in the game. They want you to walk around and explore the city at a more leisurely pace (basically LARPing). Some people are going to hate this, but I think it's cool.

(insert joke about Crispy's long-known preferences here)

So? I don't get your confusion. Let me explain in simple terms:

I am not your typical codexer pretentious edgelord. I have nothing against interactive movies when they are quality interactive movies and the subject interests me, like the Witcher franchise.

That's not really fair to Piranha Bytes considering that cdpr still hasn't made a game that's even as good as Gothic 3 or Risen 3

It seems to now be a scifi version of having a grimoire, memorized spells and mana.

At least the remote hacking thing...

I wish microsoft would buy Cdprojekt, make it Xbox exclusive. See you fuckers going on about how that's unfair because the ps5 is such a superior platform.

I haven't seen any consoletards(or worse: PSfags) around here tho.

They are hiding in the high grass.
