Dropped this, just boring as fuck. The polacks seem to do presentation well but the actual gameplay is monotonous, damage numbers? Fucking do one lol.
Pretty enough game but offers nothing, gameplay-wise.
you're supposed to play it for the OST, the shooting is just a screensaver

Nobody wants a monitor blasting sunlight level brightness into their eyes, you dumb motherfucker. The number of brightness levels available has not changed in decades.
"No, I must utilize the full range of brightness in every scene!"
Everything boils down to dumb devs as previously stated.

This is totally how human eyes work and not a shitty chinkphone camera.

That... is not what HDR looks like in play. Screenshots taken always look like dogshit in HDR mode due to... I have no idea. Reasons.
I don't know what made you think this screenshot was taken with HDR.

Phantom Liberty felt like someone putting me in front of the TV and forcefully rotating my head as I watch his machinima movie, filmed on a go-pro camera, all after having advertised that I'm buying a videogame.

We will see the damage in Cyberpunk 2078 or whatever the fuck it will be called. Its kinda shitty because the setting is a pool of violence and degeneracy, there is no space for the lets do something clean corpo shit style.
At the bright side they already set on fire the Keanu Reeves card together with Idris Elba, so they will have to come with a proper plot for the next game instead of a magic schizo friend in a chip and a doomsday device that will eat your ass regardless.

Wasn't HDR for normal monitors added to HL2 decades ago
So apparently CDPR hired Sweet Baby to do some writing work for them? It's over guys

Links or proof please? I noticed nothing out of the ordinary, I even almost overlooked the trans person ;).

One of my favorite neo noir movies is Prince of the City. I really see Cyberpunk going successfully into that level of darkness, psychological drama and moral ambiguity. When I draw the line about 2077, it still seems way too safe, not with how its story looks on paper, but with how it's executed.

Evelyn's fate and the memory-wiped sex slaves was the darkest that CP77 went in my view, while still having quality exposition. Rivers' storyline and the mayor candidate storyline, I would rate at the Deus Ex quest level. All those stiff animations, and having to watch them in a free camera first person perspective, destroyed the interactive movie feels and the emotional impact for me. Witcher 3 did conversations better, and they should have gone withe the same approach.
