Can I also play as a fat trap?
That's a requirement for their target audience, tumblr, and you can't expect all the hambeast dangerhairs they have on the development team to go unrepresented, can you?

As for the demo, as others have said, it looks exceptionally "meh", it's just a flashier Deus Ex with none of the emergent gameplay, every path you can take was carefully handcrafted by the developers and there is no room for the player to do stupid shit like stick a bunch of grenades on a wall to climb over it.

They better pray the writing justifies the hype, because I'm not exactly excited about Da Hood 2077: A Lesser Deus Ex Ripoff.

EDIT: And Infinitron, stop being butthurt, the game looks like another attempt to make a Deus Ex game, just with 80s neon instead of 90s tinfoil. It might be good, but so far it just looks like another immersive sim with a lazy attempt at non-linearity.

If this goes how it looks...

Body: controls 4 skills
Reflexes: controls 3 skills
Cool: controls 3 skills
Intelligence: controls 1 skill
Technical: controls 1 skill

The fuck is that balance?

Also, where is my anti-transhumanist build option wherein I take no enhancements and lead a rebellion of fleshbags against cyborg scum?

two = plenty to these potato fucks?

Maybe they meant that this is the n-th time when you have to make a choice...? :lol:

Grab the Codex by the pussy Pathfinder: Wrath
What's the point of showing a heavily edited gameplay while the game is less than a year away? there are no more major conferences except TGA until release. This is disappointing.

The combat looks floaty and unpolished.

At this point it's most likely that Dying Light 2 will have a deeper narrative than Cyberpunk.

Meh~ Even graphics look worse than last year. And since CD Projekt certainly can't balance their games there is barely anything to look forward to.

Also why do they keep showing daytime in Night City?
Also why were there so many black people?
Also why were there no Asian & Brown people?

God! I hope Mankind Divided gets a sequel. That game deserves/needs one. Fckn SquareEnix...

God I love the edge in this forum. Everything is meh :D

That said I am not a huge fan of this form of trailer, but I guess change compared to previous one is warranted. Hopefully they will do one like they did for Witcher 3, the gameplay overview one.

Gunplay being wack and kinda shit isn't surprising at all, considering combat design has always been this company's weak point.

Oh it's press X to hack, and you only get the really dumb looking minigame for the important stuff, not big surprise.
Also I kinda expected that sasquach trying to hack you would promp a counterhack minigame like in Near Tomato but I guess the enemies can press X to hack too.

It looks far better than expected, frankly. It seems quick and responsive, enemies have a clear hit feedback where bullet land, aiming at different spots seem to give different results and the visuals aren't half bad either.

I won't say "everything is great" before playing it, but I don't think I could mention a single RPG-FPS who presented itself better in this sense.
I mean, did you ever go back to the original Deux Ex to look at what a piece of shit it seems as a pure FPS?

Make the Codex Great Again! Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. I helped put crap in Monomyth
normal people: I'm not sure this is an RPG anymore, they don't really show multiple ways of doing a quest or any significant roleplaying.
cdpr shills: it's totally an RPG, just wait for more footage. stop being negative.
cdpr: hey check out this cool video with lots of popamole action and explosions!
cdpr shills: holy fuck this game is amazing! this is going to be so fucking good.. unnnnnngggghhhhhh give it to me CDPR DADDY GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!
normal people: it looks like an action game or a first person GTA..
cdpr: no this is a highly customizable and immersive RPG with plenty of player agency
cdpr shills: SEE, CDPR SAYS IT IS AN RPG SO IT MUST BE AN RPG, CDPR WOULDN'T LIE!
normal people: companies lie or omit truths all the time when marketing a product to people
cdpr shills: MAYBE IN FUCKING AMERICA BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THAT IN GLORIOUS POLAND YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!! CDPR ARE CRPG GODS, JUST LOOK AT WITCHER 3!
