The desire of males to play the role of females in video games stems from the lack of a strong male role model in their lives.

Well, you can't play as Goro, so...
I got the impression it was his magnum opus, wanting to create medieval life as true to life as possible. I understand there were others on the team, but the reason it was going to have this "life simulation" was become of him. But maybe you are right though, considering what he has made and thinks about Cyberpunk. Maybe the game would have been enough just to have basic static AI like in Witcher 3 that gives you an impression of having a lived in city.
Don't remember if it was, perhaps. I just remember it was great fun, especially in co-op. Expansion was even better.
It didnt because Bethesda was still in the cute puppy stage with the mainstream. "Oh look its peeing on the rug again, how adorable!"
They lost that with Fallout 76 release and got widely roasted.
Very interested to see the result from the next big release, depending how bugged it is.
Actually true.romance expansion DLC
Someone posted some female streamers reactions to that line on 4ch, and they were all like - "Yeah daddy Smasher! I'll be your piece of fuckable meat!"
Got a link by any chance?
Both of them look like way greater quantity than a cut of meat, though sadly not fuckable.
Unless you have a packet of flour on hand, so you can sprinkle it over them, push their bellies and insert wherever you hear a "Poof!" sound is coming from.

400 years ago they would be considered prime lvl poontang.
Wow yeah, imagine. It would have a deep and complex open world full of diverse and interesting encounters. None of this Farcry bandit camp nonsense!
Just like MGSV!
Oh wait...

I've been hearing this excuse for over 15 years and it's an absolute lie. You aren't looking at the video game character's ass, for one reason being that this game is FIRST PERSON, you are self-inserting as a female because you have autogynephile tendencies.
Except by that time Bethesda was one of the oldest surviving Western developers, with almost 20 years in the business.
20 years of making the same exact game.
The quest title is "Killing in the Name", and it apparently requires you to have progressed through the side-quests in which you meet Kerry Eurodyne and assemble Johnny's old band for one last gig, as only through this will you meet Nancy (a.k.a. Bes Isis) who will properly initiate this quest.
The actual quest simply consists of following a quest marker to a few locations, until you finally trace your target to its origin.
Amusing dialogue, though.
Hah, great quest title. RATM have always been extremely leftist.
They are obviously thirsty for a real man and tired of the submissive soyboys.

'cept Mafia 1 has one of the best police A.I. and as such, best thrilling police chases in history of vidya... In fact there's a separate sandbox mode in Mafia 1 to go do wild shit when you're done with the story. No such thing in CP2077, 'cause MUH IMMERSIVENESS!
'cept Shenmue's sandbox is filled with good shit detracting from main story and progression system that encourages exploring (martial arts mastering). And SII has more enterable interiors.
Cyberpunk 2077 is just isn't there in the same league, it's old light roleplay FPS poles planned to make to cover up possible Witcher 3 financial failure (gaming was different back then) but now set in a big ass city, that's it.

People really did have too high expectations. The marketing worked but set CDPR up to fail - of course, their own executive mismanagement didn't help. People created an impossible game (the best parts of GTA + Deus Ex + Dishonored + FO:NV + Mass Effect + TW3) in their heads.
High expectations my ass. CDPR is to blame here.
Good points. I guess I was more saying I don't see it as particularly bad, rather than it being particularly good. It's fine. I'd take its inventory and map system over a loooooot over other games, where it's all controller friendly lists and shit. But yeah, far from perfect, fair enough.
It's a mix. Anyone who expected a New Vegas type game was kidding themselves considering how Witcher 3 was designed. This is a very similar game to that one, and exactly what people should have expected. That said, the lack of story in most side content and little C&C is different from Witcher, and that's where CDPR mislead people.
I agree that in terms of mouse features it's pretty decent, it's more on the keyboard side where the UI problem for m/k is.
The main problem with the interface for me is that you can't press <your assigned key, I use TAB> to go into main in-game menu, and the same to come out; you can't press I to go into inventory and I to go out, J to go into inventory and J to go out, M to go into map and M to go out, while at the same time you can't recall any of those from anywhere (i.e. you can't be in Inventory and click M for map). You have to drill down and drill back up with escs.
That's huge for a PC player, because it means tons of clicks that are totally unnecessary.
The other problem is in terms of the UI's art design - it's kind of messy visually, eyestrain-inducing, and the relative importance of things doesn't stand out very well. The effect is that you never really get used to the menu, it never becomes a familiar friend you know well. It's almost like a total stranger every time you open it, and you have to peer at it to figure it out de novo every time you open it. (I exaggerate for effect ofc, by the time you've played around 40 hours or so, muscle memory starts to kick in, but it should do so long before that.)
The final big problem with the UI is that you can't tag favourites or exempt things from selling. Even with the best will in the world, this leads to the occasional mis-click where you lose something you meant to keep.

There is the hype but I really knew what I was getting into, got bored in the end with Cyberbug not because this fails to be a GTA game or doesnt have factions like F:NV or doesnt have the level design of Dishonored. I'm not a big fan of GTA so this argument this game needed to be riddled with minigames is moot for me, I also would like to factions being in but it isnt a deal breaker for them to not be in, would truly love the Dishonored level design but I knew I was getting an open world game, not even the police not working on a functional way was deal breaker.
Most normies roast the game for not being UberGTA that has it all (seriously, the real culprit here is CDPR for lying), my main problem with the game isnt that, while the basic gameplay is enjoyable, it is that, basic gameplay. If you have a huge world and you dont throw some spins on this gameplay formula here and there to keep it fresh, it will soon become so incredible repetitive that the player will wish for suicide, you know, most games have challenge, progression curves, Cyberbug doesnt have one, you dont need to learn much and there isnt much to overcome. Invading a Maelstrom gang hideout on the begining of the game is the same as invading a Six street house in Santo Domingo, 60 hours later. That is bad design, independent of hype or not.
Man, there isnt a progression of challenge and complexity at all, I mean, a little but very, very little. The game doesnt evolve or change scenery. Take other popamole that Ubisoft spit out once a year, if they can achieve it, CDPR could do it much better with 8 fucking years right?
I mean, on Ass Creed, you start raiding some little shitholes but by the end of the game, you are raiding huge forts, some main missions are absolutely huge, with you raiding intricate palaces, stealing ships on the middle of the ocean, raiding the pyramids or the Lighthouse of Alexandria, there are unique mercenaries that hunt you down and etc, the gameplay is ultra popamole basic but Ubisoft games for the more retarded they are in gameplay design, they use their settings for their missions. Where are the missions to invade Biotechnica, Militech, Kirochi installations? I invaded all the dingy bars of Night City and they all look the same. Where are the missions where you see the Black Wall again? Other digital ghosts beyond Alt? Help dolls from slavery? Where you work with another hacker? That is more than busting some ganger ass? When you arent busting gangers, you are just watching the game fellate Keanu Reeves all the time. I get it game, you really like Keanu Reeves, please, stop it.
I mean, even the Witcher 3, their previous game, they kept you from falling in complete boredom by changes in circunstances and places from Velen to Skelliga. It is so obvious for me that they finished the main path (more probably rush it because the game is really missing yet another act and the main quest is short as fuck) then they saw the huge open world and just gone with "let's fill the place with Far Cry outposts" or we dont meet the 2020 deadline. Also, all gangs only have different attires but they arent much different in terms of behavior and strenghts what is crucial to keep combat fresh, gameplay changing with each gang having different strenghts and different enemy types is something so basic that I dunno why isnt there. Man, I was so starved for real content that when I found the Ai gun, I was amused, then I looked in the map and that little thing was surrounded with so much bs.
I dunno, having some Maelstrom ganger replacing his leg with spider legs, walking around the place on all surfaces including roofs or having a high threat Maelstrom with a tank chassis with threads for legs, have some Maelstrom with a shield for an arm, would do a hell of a job to make them memorable and hit home that cyberpunk uneaseness with transhumanism. This lame open world isnt helped by the main quest with that formulaic Mcguffin bullshit, fake urgency and non stop worshipping of Keanu Reeves.
