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.

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.

CYBERPUNK INFOS GATHERED FROM JOURNOS:
• There are no loading screens aside from the initial load time
• You can kill civilians - both in and out of vehicles
• Waste someone near a cop or local gang - or cause enough trouble and the law/local gang will deal with you...harshly
• Movement is a lot smoother than in The Witcher 3
• The player is nearly always in control of the camera, even during dialogue scenes
• There is a lot of dialogue
• It is nothing like Grand Theft Auto [aesthetically and structure]. This is an RPG
• There are a ton of customization options
• You can choose between a circumcised and non-circumcised penis
• You can get through the entire game without killing anyone
• One of the quests has 7 different outcomes
• The more you use a weapon, the more you can specialize in it
• You can skip time to pass time for quests
• 1 real time hour = 8 in-game hours
• There are no loading screens for fast-travel
• Other than the initial load, there is a brief load when V sleeps
• Combat feels more like Destiny
• Game ran smoothly, but bugs were present
• Quests had a lot of optional tasks that change the outcome
• You don't feel like the centre of the universe
• Companions are actually useful in combat
• Characters weren't heard speaking any repeated lines of dialogue
• Your UI is determined by what enhancements you have equipped and by your Life Path
• There are a lot of likeable characters in the game; it's definitely less "edgy" than previous demos
• The side characters are very interesting
The open-world is stunning. Everyone gushes about the world design, atmosphere and retro-future, lived-in look and feel of it
• The game doles out a lot of interesting lore while being very subtle and casual with it
• There are no lore dumps given to the player - everything is experienced or sought-out by the player
• The world is very well fleshed out and believable
• Due to the changing allegiances of characters; you feel suspicious about every single character you meet

• There are a TON of cybernetics to equip and use as well as enhancements for them
• A lot of focus on verticality
• There is fall damage
• There are children in the game. You cannot kill them
• When selecting Corpo as your Life Path, you begin the game at Arasaka Tower
• When selecting Nomad as your Life Path, you begin in the Badlands
• When selecting Street Kid as your Life Path, you begin in a bar in Night City
• When the tutorial ends, it's 6 years later and it starts where the E3 2018 gameplay demo began; with the "No Future" elevator

• You can talk to everyone - even NPC's
• You can get side-missions from NPC's
• Lots of NPC's in the Watson area - the city feels alive
• Parris didn't like the handling of the Quadra V-Tech - he said it was too sensitive. The dev said they are still working on that

• Yorinobu Arasaka has the Johnny Silverhand chip
• Gun Shops can offer you missions
• The weather effects are stunning
• The lighting effects are next-level
• The Maelstrom Flathead mission played similar to the old demo - except that Royce isn't given the chip and he shot him in the head, so no boss fight since...he's dead. The original Maelstrom gang leader is in the building somewhere
• if you don't intervene when Jackie is arguing with the Maelstrom ganger, shit goes down early
• There is a roaming CyberPsycho NPC killing police with a high-powered sniper rifle
• The streaming hands-on had lag and streaming issues - which is to be expected
• Night City is HUGE
• 4 hours is beyond barely scratching the surface
• Lots of reviewers just watched the world and found it mesmerizing
• The No-Tell Motel is in the game
• There are so many choices and options that it feels overwhelming; before you learn to take things in stride
• During melee - you have an attack button, a dodge button and a block button. If you time your block at the moment of impact, you will perform a counterattack. This applies to swords and knives as well
• The music is amazing - both the score and the music on the radio stations
• It really feels like playing a tabletop RPG, in terms of the player's freedom of choice, character creation, options available, mission choices/consequences and stat management
• Choices feel meaningful and not just fluff. There is a palpable weight to your choices

• Blessing Adeoye Jr. thinks the game might get delayed again.

• There are upwards of a dozen radio stations [12+]

• Vehicles all have unique interiors
• None of the bugs experienced were severe and should be fixed before launch
• The gunplay wasn't as impressive as it could be, as their character was just starting out and at a low level
• Cutscenes are in real-time and you can interact with them at all times - even changing the many possible outcomes based on your actions and observations
• There is a "Metriod-esque" trope at the start, where after the tutorial if flashes 6 years later and all your Cyberware and abilities are stripped away; forcing you to start from scratch
• No official confirmation of a photo mode
• RTX is a game changer with reflections and lighting - especially at night
• Sound effects are cinematic in quality - the game has a very expensive sound design
• There is a very Japanese/Blade Runner style side street with electrical cables hanging above you between the buildings and rows of vendors and noodle bars
• You can watch commercials on TV
• You still can't customize your apartment
• Every building you enter is insanely detailed
• Your jaw will drop when you see the Skill Perk Tree - it is like a humongous spider web - far larger than the Attribute Tree shown last year
• Auto-Aim can be toggled on and off. It was set to "On" for everyone's hands-on experience
• You can steal cars, trucks and motorcycles - even shooting the driver and then taking the vehicle
• You can no longer select a wardrobe item off a hanger from the closet in your apartment. That is done via the character equipment menu. You can see your clothes in the closet -

• You can take enemy weapons and use them
• Although after the tutorial players could do whatever they wanted, they were confined to Watson.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
