He's trolling with the same old song everywhere...

4 hour long games,

There's nothing wrong with this.

games that are pretty much just fucking movies in disguise with little actual gameplay etc.

Like The Witchers?

Ok, I get the cinematic bit, with all the cutscenes and flavour QTEs, but you cannot say there isn't plenty of gameplay in TWitchers.

It's pretty shallow though. Witcher 1 = drink potions, apply oils, use appropriate style, play rhythm game with little variation for the most part. Witcher 2= Slash slash roll.

There's also a lot of walking and looting.

Ehh... I could give the same shallow argument for practically all favourite Codexian games. There isn't anything really intelectual in the *gameplay*, unless you go for some supreme simulationist strategies. KISS, bro, KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid.

What matters is that it was enjoyable, fast paced and fun - an essence of an Action RPG. With all the Supreme Uber Enhanced Edition around they patched the gameplay as hard as they could. This is a lot more than I can say about e.g. MotB gameplay which is and forever will be a gigantic clusterfuck.

Why single out MotB?

Titstrailer is understandable concidering they need to get that modern crowd to drool about the game... but if they instead would make a CGI version of this video by placing Mike's voice cover on some dude walking under the rain talking himself with that music, that would be the true cyberpunk trailer.

Mrowak i respect your view..don't you find it a bit disappointing however that this will be all this gets to be? an actiony game with an RPG-resembling character generator? Could have been so, so much more..in depth, and in longevity play-time wise. Forget Project Red for just an instant, and consider the Cyberpunk theme alone.
Then come bck here and enjoy yourself some actiony titty trailer..sour innit?

Dude, have you ever seen a Cyberpunk 2020 manual?

Yes. But that does't mean you absolutely have to use that exact feature for marketing your game.

Mike gives the term Cybernegro a whole new meaning. Still not convinced, though. CD Projekt flat out sucks at gameplay.
