Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

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

+1. When I first heard about the series and saw that it was about a magic swordsman with white hair and amnesia, I dismissed it as the poor man's Final Fantasy.

As predicted, the PS4 image falls apart on LoDs and blur.
Bruh I CAN'T LOAD!

Funny, I once tried to read up on Wikipedia what Final Fantasy is about. I couldn't make any sense of it and just decided it's some unknowable jap logic like with some endless anime series.

JRPGs, not even once.

The first game is about a D&D party putting an end to a time loop, THE FIRST GAME on NES. so you're kinda not far off lol

Dante doesn't have amnesia, so he's only mostly a ripoff.

If you want to talk about Geralt being a ripoff, then he's a ripoff of Elric.

fair enough, Vergil forgot he got a son so I guess he counts more for that cliche anyway.

Geralt is straight though.

Let's just cut to the chase and conclude that every grumpy flawed hero who Initially Didn't Want To Get Involved In This Shit (tm) is a ripoff of Homer's Achilles.

He didn't forget. Who would claim Nero as their own?

Could be worse tbh, could be the Ninja theory twins.

The question for me is, are modern action RPGs even comprehensible by audience which has not tried Witcher 3. It's the next step in the evolution of Action RPGs after Skyrim.

 

[Silverfish]

Not until Starfield.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Serious question - is anything even known about Starfield?

See that moon over there? You can climb it.

It's more real than realms beyond at least

It will be on Xbox Game Pass.

Neither good fps nor good rpg, not even a GTA clone.

But it will be good (at least what fans of the genre consider good) interactive movie, and thus, it will be a success. Didn't Twitcher 3 teach you anything?

I'll almost certainly buy it, but the inclusion of levelled bullet sponge enemies, scaling loot, level gated items, "street cred" gating weapon purchases are major turn offs for me.

Speaking of street cred, what on earth are they smoking with that? Purchases are usually gated by how much money you can give the vendor, not that+ how badass you are. Really bad system.

It's going to be a good interactive movie. Saying anything more is overhyping it. Make your decisions with that knowledge, mate.

Skyrim and Fallout 3/NV were the reason why I didn't even look at The Witcher 3. I don't have enough time to roam around an open world like that anymore ! I hope that Cyberpunk is a little more constrained and deeper, like e.g. Bloodlines...

 

[S.torch]

interactive movie.

You repeated the same term like three or four times already in the last few pages. You like it, but there is no need to flood with it. Mostly because it means nothing.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

On a different note, any ideas on when it'll be available for preload on Steam? Infinitron?

 

[Robber Baron]

Why even bother with preloads? By the time they decrypt you'll download the game twice
