I find this reddit thread relevant and wish people would have to sign such a form before p(l)aying.
How the RPG mechanic impacts the other gameplay mechanics (including gunplay) is an important consideration for me.

Life is so boring when you are intelligent. I was saying it's going to be good from the start, and it is.

Meanwhile, the cyberpunk aestethic connoiseurs and the npc density experts maintained that:

"The game isn't dark enough"

"It's a shooter, not an RPG. OMG, here is a screenshot of their twitter where it says action adventure game, I got mad analytical skills!!"

"Herp-derp, streets are not crowded"

"The music is something-or-another, not cyberpunk, sci-fi nigger simulator"

Refuted on all accounts.

Big surprise, CDPR know how to make games better than the "experts" commenting from the sidelines.

I still imagine it will be quite a buggy mess at release, but it will get there.
lol. Wtf. That's an impressive level of cock-sucking. Dad will be proud!

It is not a AAA shooter with deep gunplay mechanics and intuitive aiming.
This is an RPG, with guns in it.

It is not a high spec driving/racing game with dynamic drifting and G-force physics.
This is an RPG, with driving in it.

It is not a dating simulator with softcore porn.
This is an RPG, with sex in it.

It is not a stealth game built entirely around the mechanic.
It is an RPG, with stealth in it.


"Remember, everything in this game is shit because it's an RPG, so don't complain you pleb!!"

Then you see their "rpg" elements like +1% to evasion (like in this latest trailer) and turns out the rpg part is shit too.

So when all the elements in the game are shit what you do? Consume!

I feel like I am in crazyland. Are people still putting RPGs down for having non-perfect FPS-combat?

Did we not go over this already like 20 years ago with Morrowind?

Morrowind was fantastic yeah? wtf is going on.

Why is everybody so enthusiastic? This combat looks like some slow garbage.

Deus Ex and Shock 2 had garbage gunplay too, and these games are undisputable classics.

With Deus Ex people forget about it since nobody ever plays full rambo, due to the actual gunplay being 100% avoidable thanks to all the much more fun stealth tools, and on the highest difficulty level direct combat is really undesirable due to the lethality. The horrible gunplay is basically punishment for not playing the game right.

I kind of doubt this will be the case with Cyberpunk, unless it has shit like the tranquilizer crossbow or riot prod, but who knows.

cyberpunk will be this generations arcanum and if you disagree you are completely clueless about everything related to video games and should just give me steam credit to play video games in your stead tbh

Yeah that last Trailer was great, I admit it got me hyped, Ima wait for opinions in the first week before deciding when to get and for how much first though.

I see all of you sneaky bastards. Raking in the KKK with shitposts about crowd size, "what is an RPG" and outrage over cybercocks, just to switch stance in the last days before release in order to be on the right side of history.

the people whinging about the quest log on social media are hilarious. they seriously want a WoW style quest log and system in the game where you can smash everything out in a certain order and get your loot and XP... imagine getting them to play an old game that doesn't even put a dot on the map for you
