Would you say drums are not an instrument? They purely provide percussion after all, just like a rapper.
Drums are the instrument indeed, but how many rappers can play them or program anything more interesting that the simplest beat pattern? Don't be mistaken, playing drums in not easy at all as it requires supreme limb independence.

Quoting your post as an excuse to post one of my favorite rap songs which criticizes the aforementioned vice and violence which is often glorified in 'gangsta rap':
The message was solid but I wasn't impressed by his flow.

I was referring to their voice and speech as percussive instrument, which it is. Singing is melody and percussion, rap is focused on the latter. Of course the most important part is the rhyme scheme and its delivery (sadly lacking in modern rap), which you could argue is mostly rhythmic poetry, but to deny rap as musical genre is mostly a sign of your bias, rather than any rational reasoning.

Sure the complexity in rap is shifted from the instrumental to the verse and fitting it on the bars, but it is still very much music.

Is this retard comparing a game to real life?
are these retards so delusional and aboard the hype train that think this game greatly emulates RL?

Alright now, the game officially wants female monsters audience, such focus on customization and crafting warpaints rivaling Desnai Fairies is right up their alley. Where are hot husbandos tho? Not enough focused, tsk tsk.

Only major title this year I'm willing to shell out full price.... only if the Codex approves though.

But how can one know if the Codex approves when it has become so divided and toxic?

I can cover the expense from the CDPR shares, though I'm not convinced if I want to.
The only reason to do it is convenience as it's sure the game is going to be buggy as fuck and have a 50GB day 1 patch.

As an additional observation, since we've already touched on this kinda gruesome topic, I also don't get why so many NPCs are shown to have unilateral prosthetics, that only makes sense in the case of accidental trauma. Otherwise, if you're talking about "performance enhancement", why would someone only replace their left arm? In all fairness to CDPR, Eidos Montreal made a similar mistake with their NPC design, though their notion of augmentation as a widespread fashion trend was shaky ground to begin with.

Human arm is for love, and metal arm is for hate.

Masturbation is single-player sex already. And multiplayer is for fags anyway.

Also, if you have a hacking minigame where you see your fingers or a masturbation mini-game in Cyberpunk, then selecting the color of your fingernails would also be visually relevant.

So when the mods gonna move this thread to General Gaming. :smug:
Immediately after they move the threads devoted to Alpha Protocol and Disco Elysium. :M
There is one problem with that:

Compare that with this (the picture is on the previous page):

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in Night City [...]
They don't even bother pretending it's an RPG anymore.

If first person, coloring the nails is actually a thing you would see more in first person than you would in third person, right?

People have already forgotten that in DA:I they could select the color of the border of their iris, and that was a 3rd person game.

Also it read "RPG" on its box. The difference with CP77 is that no one remembers DA:I or talks about it. The company that made it died after its next game.

I bet CP77 will outdo Witcher 3 and will be genre defining for another 5 years at least. Now that I've unleashed a wave of butthurt I'll sit back and enjoy.

Just like Democratic People's Republic of North Korea. You know it because it's in the name.

Kill or incapacitate 300 enemies using ranged weapons.
In case you were wondering if CDPR managed to learn how to design a game without hours of filler combat.
