After reading some of the questions in that IGN video above ("are Life Paths equal to three distinct playthroughs", "is driving like Gran Turismo", "can you enter every building" etc), I think the main reason the game will receive any sort of flak/backlash is because of people's unreasonably high expectations and hype after all that time. It will end up being simply "fine/good" and people will hate it because it wasn't the mostest amazingest gamest everest.

Provided it is playable and non-buggy, of course.

Nah, CDPR did everything they could to secure those sweet GTA shekels in their marketing, now watch how console players(the majority) start flinging shit when they see how shitty the game looks and plays. Dead city with the same 4 braindead copypasted pedestrians roaming the streets. You can't cause havoc and have fun in a typical GTA fashion, everything is slow as fuck and buggy and junky.
Just wait and see

It's CoD shekels if anything, the real GTA crowd plays in third-person only while all the game's marketing makes strong effort to emphasis the CoD-like first person bombastic narrative.

There were no dialogue choices that would suggest you can be anything but an edgy asshole, some neutral ones at best, but seeing how the actual spoken dialogue has little to do with what you pick that's left to be seen.

Is the PS4 version censored or is it that way on all platforms?

Oh wow, censorship like this is major decline.

Not that PS5 users have earned anything less, FPS with controllers is all kinds of Ass.

SONY has become a bit pussified of late.

Doesn't the PS5 monitor everything players are saying through voice chat and issue bans if "innapropriate language" is detected?

I have some gripes with the quality of writing for edgy dialogue lines but don't act holier than thou guys, you look like complete jackasses.

Could be on all platforms and not just on the PS4, that PC video has that not look of final game disclaimer on top and the car interior was changed a bit too. I'm going to assume it's just the Poles being huge pussies again and that it won't be there on PC either until things are confirmed. I'm going to laugh my ass off if this cope that it's just on the soystation turns out to be false.

Cynical don't-give-a-flying-fuck attitude of JC Denton hasn't been surpassed yet. Notice how he didn't try to sound EDGY and over the top - just deadfaced delivery in a lieu of "I was never properly trained in its operation"

No-no-no, you don't get it. Locals act like the mere fact of edge in CP2077 is a huge turn off. Only two persons questioned the delivery of lines. One in this, the other outside of this thread.
Besides, acting cynical on purpose can be greatly written too, you don't have to mimic JC.

... seeing how the actual spoken dialogue has little to do with what you pick that's left to be seen.

This has annoyed me from the first videos they have shown. Why show a concrete line if your character is saying something else anyway? This is the first thing I would want to have modded if it's possible. And restoration of things like the poster in case CPR is cool enough to have the original texture hidden somewhere in the game files ;)!

Yes. Makes me think of Fallout 4 and Alpha Protocol which had a similar approach, though here it doesn't seem quite as shit as in F4.

There, another two who have managed to miss Witcher 3 for five years since release and 25 mln copies sold.
