I have zero worries that I'll enjoy it. I enjoyed all of their games so far except the online shit. "The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior" and all that.
Not gonna preorder though, because there is no reason whatsoever to do so.

Edit: There is an obnoxious amount of hype for this game though, every-fucking-where. Shit is gonna be hard to top.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
I will. My guess is that it will be a decent to good game just like The Witcher games. TW2<TW1<TW3.

Remove the Ubishit design of The Witcher 3, and I don't think I will have very negative feelings about Cyberpunk.

I agree. I think it will be a pretty good open world shooter and maybe a decent or even good action RPG, but that won't be good enough for the hype. There will be a hundred articles within a week about it being disappointing for this reason or that, and a thousand Codex posts about how bad it is. Shit this hyped has to be fucking amazing to even be considered okay.

I have used my Jedi powers to have them visit my mother in Law for a few days :dance:
The first two weeks of December is when I'll have the house to myself to put in the most hours before I'm gone for the holidays.

Hopefully there is a way to change damage values to get rid of bullet sponges. FO4 was unplayable for me until I installed one of those "realistic damage" mods. If I snipe someone then he should instantly eat dirt.

There needs to be a balance between RPGness (stats and equipment and levels mattering) and FPS skill. Game is utterly trivialized if you can kill every enemy by shooting them in the head with a sniper rifle.

If you make the shooting less accurate, or have more recoil, or more weapon sway, people will bitch about the gun system being broken because they have a certain expectation of "point-click-hit" drilled into them from years of FPS games.

It's just simpler and easier to make enemies that absorb more bullets than they possibly could IRL because it's cyberpunk and you can just say they have metal skin and what not. People will always prefer bullet spongey enemies because it allows them to pew pew more with "fun" accurate shooting rather than wildly missing because they didn't level up sway.

No, bullet sponge enemies are utter shit, especially in shooter combat. I've modded every game like that to lower health: New Vegas, F3, F4, etc. The RPG stuff should come through in other ways, abilities, access to weapons, etc, never in the actual shooting system.

Bullshit, the reality is the opposite, everyone hate sponge enemies regardless of how shooting is done.

Game is so dark that the box art is a black mirror.

IRL bullet sponges are the worst.

- nigger activates Sneaking
- nigger consumes Crack
- nigger fails Sneaking check
- male pig uses Yell
- nigger resists Yell
- female pig uses Taser
- niggers is hit for 5 damage
- nigger is stunned for one turn
- male pig uses Yell
- nigger resists Yell
- nigger activates Sprint
- nigger hits female pig for 100 mechanical damage
- female pig armor absorbs 100 damage
- female pig is hit for 0 damage
- male pig activates Rapid Fire
- nigger is hit for 125 damage
- male pig activates Rapid Fire
- nigger is hit for 98 damage
- nigger dies

The nigger character had no chances. Despite a huge HP pool he was outnumbered and his melee skill was too low to kill even one pig. He should have used Decapitate or Crippling Strike attack, but this still wouldn't have helped him to survive.
