Really? That sounds kind of lame. Sounds like they kind of copied Borderlands there.
How much grinding is there?

None or alot. Dude, it's The Witcher. Your level is 70-80% of combat stats, and you can do just main quests, main quests and side quests or all of the shitty dots-on-the-map content. If you've played TW3, you know the drill

Jesus Christ, I guess they somehow fucking turned it around. More anime tie in shows coming.

The only grinding you'll be forced to do is to recycle your weapons every now and then whenever you eventually reach your carrying weight. I don't think I've ever actually crafted or bought a weapon in any of my playthroughs and I think I have like 150 hours into the game, I just grab whatever the enemies drop

Most of the power in mid to late game comes from those legendary upgrades that provide absurd abilities. Like making every assault rifle bullet proc a full damage hack. At least that was how it was on release, I haven't played since that time.

Really interesting interview about creation of edgerunners. It took them around 6 years total. Actual production around 3-4 years. Writting was mainly done by Creative director of Cyberpunk2077 and narrative lead which both left CDPR for blizzard in 2018 and now are both creative director and narrative lead for Diablo IV. Script was written by Trigger. They spend shitload of time to get theme right.

Its about everything from shopping ideas in japan to studios without any knowledge on how to make anyme etc.

Started watching Edgerunners. Going just by the first episode - visuals are neat, voice acting is ok (English dub) and the soundtrack is great. Does feel like it's trying too hard to fit into it as much stuff from the game as possible though.

Well, it probably helps that the "shitty pornographic cartoon" in terms of quality is still leagues ahead of anything this shiny turd of a game has to offer, even after two years of sparse and inconsequential updates.
It only makes me feel even more disappointed in what the game turned out to be like. Great waste for a great setting.

What blows my mind is that they had a choice between Production I.G (GITS much) and TRIGGER. They knew TRIGGER was very opinionated and that they would be a bitch to work with, but they still chose them because Production I.G's attention was divided by many projects while TRIGGER would focus only on them.

There are plenty of tie ins that fizzled out completely. I mean witcher had anime that didn't do shit.
It's quality of something that decides that rather than just doing something.

If you watch interview i posted they put up outstanding amount of work to get it right.
Something probably that wasn't done on Witcher netflix show considering how shite it was.


Also from same interview. Netflix wasn't producer of show. They made whole thing on their own dime and only aproached Netflix so that it can be easily streamed to people. If they wouldn't find anyone willing to help them market it they would just release it all on youtube for free.

They chose TRIGGER precisely because they had some tough opinions on their work. It was signal that they cared about project and they saw potential in it.

If that's true then they made a fucking stupid decision here. Why give Netflix exclusive rights for this when it's not even the most popular streaming platform for this type of content?

After playing Cyberpunk 2077 some more, I am souring on it a bit. It's still not terrible or anything, but a few major issues besides the obvious ones:

1. The fucking bosses are beyond annoying. Sasquatch, Oda, etc. In a game where I assume most people will play ranged firearms characters, the bosses are all these melee types that run after you. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem since firearms kill assholes running at you, which is their whole point... but in CP2077, the bosses have retarded levels of health, regen, etc. I can put 20 straight headshots into Oda's head on Very Difficult, and it barely lowers his health, which he then regens in 2 seconds. What is the point of this shit design? I just looked up an online solution where you can hide from him while he deaggroes, and then take him down from behind twice to win the fight.

2. Braindances. I originally thought this might be a cool feature along the lines of analyzing tapes in Rising Sun/Disclosure. But instead, it's just a much more annoying version of scanning walls for button pixels. 3 channels of scanning for some very specific crap in 3D. Ugh.

3. General hand holding. Holy crap, every mission, there are cookie trails, exact instructions, people calling in and telling you what to do, literally no thinking required. This kind of stuff really kills modern gaming.

It took 6 years to make peak mediocrity? The anime industry is fucked.

That makes it even worse, because they most likely were willing to throw more money at it than Netflix does at their shows.

I didn’t actually write that, some mod went in and edited “anim_” to that. I thought Edgerunners was good.

Edit: Kek they set up a word filter that changes anim_ to anime
