How-o abauto datto-o

Game has many faults but the narrative isn't one of them. I love the oppressing feeling, that you are fucked no matter what. The game hammers the point that you are a broken thing and easily discarded, not just about you but about many other characters as well, for example like evalyn and jackie. This is not a hero power fantasy self-insert as in 99% of rpgs. Can anyone give me another example where an RPG made you feel so powerless against your own inevitable demise no matter how much you thrash against your fate?

 

[Curratum]

A class action lawsuit because a save file breaks? I swear, some people...

 

[wyes gull]

Damn, Dotcom still hasn't committed suicide via 3 shots to the back of the head? Surprising.

If nothing else, the bugs give the sense that god hates you and wants you to die.

Have you played this Japanese game called Dark Souls?

you said it wasn't cyber, I say it is.

Purely based on your assumption that AI "may be" categorized as a part of "cybernetics" therefore if AI involved then it is cyber. I don't think that's how it works mate.

"I had my law firm look into the publisher terms and there is no indication that the playtime is limited......If CDPR is not providing a save file patch the firm will start work on a class action lawsuit"

I find that highly unlikely.

Also wasted time, eh? I'm surprised they're not going for emotional damages.

I mean, that's why it's "I say it is."

Not "it is."

I find that highly unlikely.

Beyond unlikely, it's not a limit on playtime it's a bug with how it tracks crafting items. Stupid, yes, and people are clearly in the right being pissed off if they've been effected by it. It's not even the first time a game has had save file corruption that was fixed in a patch.

Wasn't save file size an issue in Fallout 4/Skyrim?

I think it's screwed up a few games. There was an issue with Pathfinder Kingmaker and save sizes that resulted in infinite loading screens IIRC.

cdpr need few pointers from underrail devs how to handle 100MB+ save files

 

[Hellion]

70 hours in, having finished the main story as well as many sidequests/gigs, and constantly crafting stuff and upgrading my items, and my save files are barely 4.5 mb max. These faggots must have seriously exploited the duplicate item glitch in order to reach the limit so easily.

 

[Gerrard]

I'm still waiting for the braindance sequence leading to the Skyrim opening montage.

Bladerunner was being retroactively called part of the cyberpunk genre 20 odd years ago when I was writing long essays on the subject at university.

"Retroactively" is the keyword here. The Internet unfortunately unlocked the door to all sorts of disturbing historical revisionism, even in popular culture. As someone who watched that movie in theaters back in the 80's and was a fan for years, it really frustrates me arguing about what it was or wasn't with people who most likely weren't even born back then. The word cyberpunk, no matter when it was first coined, had never been used in popular culture before the 90's, and nobody ever described these movies as "cyberpunk" back in the 80's, nobody had even heard of that word in those days, possibly other than the readers of some obscure scifi novel no one else cared about. Blade Runner's influence on today's cyberpunk genre is pretty obvious, but it's entirely stylistic and superficial. In terms of the story, it has nothing to with "cyberpunk".

Digital Foundry is diligently shilling us RTX. After the Hardware Unboxed debacle where an Nvidia rep wrote an email saying they will cut the channel off from sending reference cards because Hardware Unboxed is not shilling RTX hard enough, videos like this take on a new meaning:

All genre labels are applied retroactively because they have to exist first and then be named. Do agree with you that the idea of 'cyberpunk' wasn't in general use for a fair while after key moments in the genre's evolution. If I'd critique one thing in particular about your argument here it's that you're trying to turn cyberpunk into its name defining the genre whereas the whole point of cyberpunk was a backlash against the big space operas of the seventies and earlier, all empires and galaxies far far away - Asimov and Heinlein as much as Lucas, to refocus on the stories of individuals living within systems (rather than overthrowing them). The technology part isn't defined by needing the prefix 'cyber' but in examining how technology would/could be used by the individual - the transhumanism aspects over building a death star just to progress the story.

There's a mission in this that's a guy literally hiding behind 7 proxies. Considering I can't even hack the first one because the minigame doesn't give me a target code and goes "Succeeded" and yet the mission log keeps insisting that I have to hack it (even though I technically did), I'd say hiding behind a single proxy works, let alone 7.

MYTH CONFIRMED

Exactly.

No one fucking cares what was or was not described as something in your childhood. "Cyberpunk" may just as well be used as a synonim for "futuristic dystopia", as long as the meaning is correctly transferred in communication it makes no difference what term you used. If anyone is anal enough to argue about definitions, that's their problem. Meanings evolve because language is not static, because the people who use it are not static.

You watched Blade Runner in theathers in the 80s? Congratulations! But I'm the evil mr. Millenial who is coming to rewrite history and take away your golden experiences, muahahah! Retarded hipster.

I'm sorry I criticised your favourite game, didn't know you got mental problems(I only suspected)

Given that all of those ratings except one are in the same thread, he might just honestly consider them retarded, y'know?
