Does it even matter that it's not about something substantial? It's less than a month from release (hopefully). They kept a lot of shit under wraps for 7 or however many years, might as well continue to do so and let everybody experience it fresh. Games get too much promo material these days, there's basically zero surprises left.

That logic could work when the surprises are good but what if they are not?.. Are you seriously buying games at release not knowing anything about them?.

Yeah I kinda agree with this, I really like diving into a game completely blind.

The issue is that what they HAVE shown so far makes this game look like GTA with augments. If they showed nothing, a la Elder Scrolls, that'd be one thing, but this ain't that. What they've shown is so... zany. It just doesn't feel like it has that classic cyberpunk vibe.

I'm hoping that they are saving all the best stuff, as you say. But it's asking a lot to keep the faith at this point, especially when it's been confirmed that they've not learned many of the lessons we hoped they would from TW3. Levelled enemies for example are in. Looter-shooter-style loot like the shitty system that plagued DOS2, that's in.

Meh.

That's why it's called a surprise, you absolute dolt.

.. Are you seriously buying games at release not knowing anything about them?.

I mean, I would like to, sure. Like I said, it's difficult to not know anything about a game these days, but I don't need promo material, reviews and opinions for every purchase I make. Barring some obvious disaster, there are certain things I just get because I'm intereset in the idea/premise/whatever. Like, over half of the people ITT are gonna buy the game, no matter what.

Eh, I'm just letting it happen. If it's great, then great. If it's not, than it's back to Yakuza 7, which has been an absolute blast so far. Also a game I bought without watching/reading any material.[/QUOTE]

Are you seriously buying games at release not knowing anything about them?.

No, but I'm sort of willing to extend CDPR some good faith on what they've shown so far, they're one of the few studios who still have credit with me thanks to their past Witcher games. So I'm relatively confident I'll enjoy CBP 2077, but it's still vexing not seeing some more pre-release gameplay meat to be able to adjust my expectations accordingly. 'Cause as it stands, I'm still not clear whether I'll be getting something that wants to be Open-World-Deus Ex or Oblivion-With-Guns-With-Neons.

 

[Naraya]

Oblivion-With-Guns-With-Neons

Gimme!

 

[Comrade Goby]

Damn hype building back up!!!!! If they delay again, there will be death

You'll get GTA with dialog choices, dick customization and cybernetic prosthetics.

Finally. The real reason for the delay. CDPR crunched those devs so they could add custom teeth and nails , a totally worth addition to a first persona only RPG.

The truth is actually worse... we have to wait for them to get this game to run on shitty consoles.
At least nails and teeth would be tiny improvement.. instead of just making PC players wait.. just cause..

Gonna make a buck-tooth transsexual witch with long nails.

Oh i know the truh. It sucks. They should've already released the game for PC then later release for consoles, lot of games already have a full year console exclusivity and still sell well..

 

[Neuromancer]

They didn't translate the "funny stuff" in the first paragraph:

Did you know...

that in our character editor, you can choose your gender/sex independent of the sexual characteristics?

 

[Zer0wing]

Reflections in this game are done in a traditional PC-centric (and that's where X1/PS4 stutter and hang first) way of re-rendering the scenes from a reflection's side so you can see your character in a puddle, so I guess that counts...

I dunno... At least some of the shit that they've been promising, such as NPC routines and interior exploration, sounds closer to the Bethesda Game™ approach than to Saints Row's less interesting cousin. Certainly The Witcher 3's spatial construction had a bit more in common with GTA than with Skyrim and CDPR have referenced Rockstar as a point of reference for their studio before, but there's a possibility they'll be pushing things further this time around. They've certainly has plenty of time to do it...

That might be wishful thinking on my part, I grant you. At the end of the day, I'd rather have Fallout 4 with dick customisation than GTA with dick customisation.

 

[Semiurge]

But I’d be remiss to ignore all the reasons not to be excited for Cyberpunk 2077.

The world is still reeling under the weight of the covid-19 pandemic. There are more Americans out of work right now than at any point in the country’s history, with no relief in sight. Our health care system is an inherently evil institution that forces people to ration life-saving medications like insulin and choose suicide over suffering with untreated mental illness.

As I’m writing this, it looks very likely that Joe Biden will be our next president. But it’s clear that the worst people aren’t going away just because a new old white man is sitting behind the Resolute desk—well, at least not this old white man. Our government is fundamentally broken in a way that necessitates radical change rather than incremental electorialism.

The harsh truth is that, for the reasons listed above and more, a lot of people simply won’t be able to buy Cyberpunk 2077, regardless of supply. Or if they can, concerns over increasing austerity in the United States and the growing threat of widespread political violence supersede any enthusiasm about being able to give your female V a robo cock or the ability to drive around in deserts that almost put Mad Max the game(2015) to shame. That’s not to say you can’t be excited for those things—I certainly am, on some level—but there’s an irrefutable level of privilege attached to the ability to simply tune out the world as it burns around you.

Won't that rabble just STFU

So they want Trump to be put in prison, not in this lifetime. Why? Because he's better than them despite being a clown. He's a billionaire who got elected president, let's see any of them do the same.

And besides, the rabble who can't afford Cyberpunk will steal it anyway or get the money by mugging innocent taxpayers.

People have called this GTA + Deus Ex and I don't get why that's supposed to be a bad thing.

Because GTA is fucking garbage and so are the new Deus Ex games

I've thought about roleplaying a twitch mod myself.

[TheChickenKing]

I'm primarily concerned about the general gamefeel. They've not shown a ton of current, unedited gameplay, and what they have briefly shown in trailers looks very stiff and just kind of off. I'm sure the story, writing, and production values will all be top notch but I'm currently trying to slog through Red Dead Redemption 2 which has those three things in abundance. It also has shooter mechanics from Xbox 360 launch titles. I'm getting real sick of games that look pretty and have great cinematics and play like crap, an opinion that is incredibly brave and unique around here, I'm sure.

There is only one Deus Ex game

 

[Ol' Willy]

An appropriate soundtrack for this game, considering its chargen options

GTA:V/GTA:O is the closest thing to game adaptation of Cyberpunk 2020 core gameplaywise, the second step being adapting the damn rpg system. That's why CP2077 is so damn GTA-vibing.
