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

[AwesomeButton]

What really interest me if there is anything left of 2018 promise of verticality? I wouldn't be surprised If the apartment complex on which V lives will be the only mega building you can actually enter.

Alanah Pearce said there are enough options to explore the environment vertically.

 

[Grotesque]

Something curious in the video was how rare women with big boobs were. You would think that in a world where body extension and upgrades are ubiquitous more women would have customized these parts.

Do you know what a drag is having big breasts? It's a fuckin nightmare for the back.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Oh yes, women I know have told me in detail. What's your point - that given free choice and a low price for putting implants most women wouldn't increase their size, and some would decrease it? If yes, then I doubt that.

 

[Grotesque]

 

[Rahdulan]

Graphics definitely being reigned in like Witcher 3's were,

Dude are you serious?

2018

2020

Interesting to see these images making rounds on the Mongolian Basket Weaving board and people can't believe it.

I'll believe it when I see it

Dod you know what a drag is having big breasts? It's a fuckin nightmare for the back.

Indeed, that's one of the reasons why certain other parts are more important than tits.

 

[frajaq]

25 min of gameplay with no commentary. Unfortunately video quality is kinda bad

 

[Child of Malkav]

Oh yes, women I know have told me in detail. What's your point - that given free choice and a low price for putting implants most women wouldn't increase their size, and some would decrease it? If yes, then I doubt that.

We have a tennis player who went through a surgery to decrease her breast size so that she can be more mobile on the playing field so, yes, this is actually a thing, although an exception.

CYBERPUNK INFOS NOT GATHERED FROM JOURNOS:

The combat AI doesn't use cover in ranged combat, and makes pretty stupid moves in melee combat

 

[luj1]

I don't think all that effort put into audiovisual design is wasted or superficial. You can clearly see that the game oozes cyberpunk atmosphere

You wouldn't know cyberpunk if it bit you on the arse mate. There is no punk here, it's in name only.

Well Mike Pondsmith seems to disagree, but i am sure you have a better grasp on what the genre is about than he does. Let me guess: More rain and trench coats, less sunshine?

More actual cyberpunk, less contemporary futurism. More punk, less cyber.

Pondsmith sold the rights to CD, so yeah, it really doesn't matter what he thinks. He gave them the steering wheel. Just like these other creatively bankrupt geezers I'm sure everything is blowing his mind right now. Obviously he has a very good chemistry with CD since he thinks dice are boring and wouldn't work in a video game anyway.

Man if only the game was set in a world where there are cybernetic enhancements for people's bodies and you can augment your back to support more weight easily.

"• You can choose between a circumcised and non-circumcised penis"

This right here is GAME OF THE MOTHERFUGGEN YEAR MATERIAL, BOYOS, Get the award ready come november.

Being a circumcised dude, THIS is what really speaks to me as a RPG Game Player

I identify as a circumcised dickhead, so I will use the player character as a roleplaying vehicle for my actual character.

 

[The_Sloth_Sleeps]

Seriously, does anyone really care about this game? Its 3D!!!

 

[InD_ImaginE]

The game is short of full modding support to become a full porn game

 

[Child of Malkav]

Will it have mod support?

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Will it have mod support?

Considering TW3 I doubt it. TW2 did has its own toolkit but it was the kind that was too advanced for most people to use.

TW3, as far as I know, doesn't support modding natively. I doubt CP2077 will. At most, you will have texture replacer and heavy number tweaks like in TW3. Some TW3 mods did alter gameplay quite significantly (changing the potion drinking to TW2 preparation style, changing effect of some signs IIRC) through methods I am not sure of, but do not expect "new content" mods like in Bethesda games.

I feel a little silly explaining this as if it is some very apocryphal "insight from the world of women", but:
Women today increase their boobs, occasionally to unrealistic proportions. They also inject hyaluronic acid, usually into their lips because they believe this makes them more beautiful. These two aren't a secret to anybody. I guess it's also not a secret that very often they do these and other "enhancements" on the false assumption that this is what they "lack" for men in general or for a specific man to consider them attractive.

My point is that the amount of things women do in a non-Cyberpunk reality, which cost them money and cause them discomfort is already quite impressive, so that I expected to see them going a lot more crazy in an environment which gives them these opportunities for physical self-"upgrade" which the Cyberpunk setting gives them.

Speaking specifically of big boobs and back pain - compare this with how many women go through the trouble of wearing high heels without possessing the necesseary legs strength, and as a result they walk funny, constantly risk stumbling and injury, get overtired and so on. It's very inconvenient, it's very inappropriate because they lack the strength, but they still do it because it makes them more attractive.

P.S. Don't get me started on the horrible things they do to their hair - essentially burning it with chemicals so they can later dye the dead hairs in a different color. Most of them don't even understand what they are doing to their hair.

They said there is a boob slider, so perhaps at least female V will have big honkers if we so desire.

 

[TemplarGR]

• Cyberpunk 2077 is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Revolution on steroids

Sold.

I know we've seen pretty much nothing yet, but the NPCs I saw felt rather samey in terms of body type. See for example the three basketball jocks. The feeling of variety is resulting from the clothing, but it's a deception.

Regarding V's boobs, I'm sure the PC body model will be unique and much different from the NPCs models.

Circumcision is self mutilation, it is WRONG and it severely destroys the potential for sexual pleasure. Poor boi.

I guess they have several body types for men and women both - like small, average, and steroids big. And everything else is just cosmetics to make it feel different. It's telling they don't really allow for body customisation, only parts of it.
