Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Semiurge]

I say fuck the retrowave and go for glorious Basil Poledouris type industrial score.

Combined score by Einstürzende Neubauten, John Foxx and Gary Numan. Gamerkidz won't know them though but CD Projekt already stated that their games are not for kids anyway

 

[Echo Mirage]

From the linked invester call above it sounds like they don't have a lot of confidence in the November release date either. But the talk of the new consoles and the extra interest in launch titles pretty much confirms the reason for the delay.

But still, the lack of confidence tells me there has to be some serious drama behind the scenes.

This game will either be very good or a total dumpster fire in any case we win if its option 1 we get a good game to play if its option 2 we get another meme generator.

 

[GhostCow]

Just cancel the game altogether.

What the fuck else am I going to use to test out ray tracing on my 3000 series card?

Art through adversity and all that, let's hope

With cyberpunk being so rooted in the 80's, heavy metal is the only acceptable option. Picture it, folks. It's the middle of the night and you're driving through the rain-slicked, neon hellscape of a futuristic megapolis and this fucking banger kicks in on the radio:

Just cancel the game altogether.

No. I want to see how far the genital customization marketing gimmick actually goes. I'm holding out hope that I can modify my wang to fire bullets.

 

[Dodo1610]

Cancel it?
Are you mad this the only AAA game around that can be played through with stealth and no kills.

So you have then only three good songs: ZNS, Underpass and Cars. You can also add Anne Clark for two aditional songs: Our Darkness and Sleeper in Metropolis.

 

[Machocruz]

How are the radio stations going to be like? In just 57 years, no one listens to classical anymore for some reason?

 

[Egosphere]

Did they keep the same writers as they had on W3 + expansions?

 

[Egosphere]

That's two no ratings. Well .. fuck

 

[Zer0wing]

Did they keep the same writers as they had on W3 + expansions?

If I remember correctly, this game is written by Twitcher 2 writers.

 

[Danikas]

Did they keep the same writers as they had on W3 + expansions?

Most of the writers are in the company since the times of Witcher 1 and Witcher 2. This is the story director for example

This is the lead writer:

[Dodo1610]

From what I have heard from glassdoor reviews, leaks, journalists etc are the writers especially the lead ones are among the privileged people within CDP. So they have the least reason to actually leave. Though how many of the normal quest or dialogue writers are still left I really do not know.

​

Oh and now the obligatory Dark Horse tie-in comic

Nadia, an assistant EMT for a privately-owned business known as Trauma Team International, is the sole survivor of a failed rescue mission turned shootout. After she agrees to continue work for an upcoming extraction mission, Nadia and her new team find themselves in an even more dangerous and life-threatening situation

Everytime they delay the game they announce a tide of new merch.



Edit: I think the Perturbator tweet either got moved or deleted. I don't use Twatter so I can't tell.

This is the most disignineous marketing practice ever witnessed. That CP2077 artbook announced a while ago also got postponed to No Nut November.

This is the most disingenuous marketing practice since the last one.

 

[Zer0wing]

This is the most disingenuous marketing practice since the last one.

It's a downhill spiral of disingineousness, assaulting the new low with each such episode. CD Projekt Red so far taking the Bioware path, not Rockstar.

 

[Semiurge]

So you have then only three good songs: ZNS, Underpass and Cars.

Not existing songs, a completely new instrumental score. The rest of that sentence sounds like you think only hit singles must be good, when it usually is the complete opposite with practically anyone with a modicum of talent. Singles are promotional meal tickets. There's nothing wrong with those song examples though, it's just that there's so much more to discover.

Now look at my signature and count 2 and 2 together and try to figure out why this is retarded what you you have written.
Do you think that i do not own Metamatic, Halber Mensch and Pleasure Princliple? I will state that Gary Numan was not so bad the last 20 years and i like him and his music more than in the 80s-00s and he has turned quite into a Icon.
The song Cars would fit quite well especially revamped like the Fear Factory version:

Blixa Bargeld on the other hand was only exceptional with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds:

[Grotesque]

this thread devolved into every schmuck flaunting their music fetish sustained by a good dose of ego trip down the Asperger's lane.

Would you rather discuss games? what a loser.

I have to admit I didn't notice it before, but there's no need to turn this into some pissing contest just because I said I don't like Carpenter Brut.

 

[Darkzone]

I have to admit I didn't notice it before, but there's no need to turn this into some pissing contest just because I said I don't like Carpenter Brut.

That pissing contests are a good thing is the attitude of true martial artists. As the saying goes: Knives are sharpened against each other. I prolonged our discussion in the hope i learn something new from you. Also i thrive on conflict, because it is in my blood.
You don't have to like Carpenter Brut and nobody can force you to. And it is not about what you like, but it is about how you argument for it.

 

[Semiurge]

And it is not about what you like, but it is about how you argument for it.

Riiiiiight....

I could go into detail about why it would be cool if the game only featured artists that I like, but what's the point when artistic tastes are so subjectively personal and any attempts at conversion are usually fruitless? In other words, unless you are surrounded by others with the same tastes, you can only lose. You yourself may be the example of what happens when personal tastes are "at war", you are trying to bait me to start a flamewar over music in video games. I may not like CD Projekt's choices but at least they make some sense from their point of view.
