I just like playing kideo games.

You are correct gamer, wtf are all these non gamers doing in this gaming thread go collect stamps or some shit

I'm talking Cyberpunk breh, none of this ree shit 

[kingv]

Being objectified with unrealistic body representation is like a sign that trans women are being treated like  cis women

Kind of crazy CPR leaned into this part so heavily because this game is going to get criticism from both sides on the issue. The right will go apeshit over normalizing gender fluidity and a segment of the left over how they are represented.

I grew up on 90s edgelord games marketing so can’t really get to upset over it either way, but understand her point.

They are currently the darlings of the "own the libs" gaming community;  I'm not seeing anyone I'd call a conservative criticizing the game. 

They leaned into it because there's not really any financial harm for them either way, there's no way any real "boycott" is going to have an effect.

The trump stuff might overshadow it, but a game with a dick and boob slider seems like red meat for some congressman from like Alabama to pretend to be really mad about.

[Nintex]

I get the feeling they put those sliders in there because they're big reddit fans and just waiting for headlines like
"Caught my (23f) boyfriend (26m) selecting a phallus in something called Cybercop 207 and I'm panicking!"

"Got Cyberpunk 2077 and a new Xbox for Christmas my conservative family did not expect to see THIS!"

"Should I be worried that my(32f) husband (34m) only wants to play Cyberpunk 2077 with big boobs?"

[MMaRsu]

Oh yeah I was thinking of that   

[Don Rumata]

MMarsu was a cunt for posting the photo, but the article is just the same arguments being proposed for months, there can be no nuance to it, because the game isn't out, and it's all based on assumptions, many loaded with non-sensical leaps in logic.

It's just another spin off of recent art "critique" where everything gets interpreted only through their most basic didactic value, it's got legitimacy mostly because of the inherent seriousness of the themes (yes, LGBT issues are important), but nuance is exactly what it's missing.

That said, i do believe CDPR mostly wants to sell their billion dollars game, i'm not claiming they're on a noble crusade, but the more you go down the article the shakier it gets.

Also fuck you riotous to making me read it. 

[Nintex]

Also fuck you riotous to making me read it. 

Yeah whatever you do don't read beyond the headline when you see Polygon or god forbid 'THE VERGE'

[BIONIC]

Imagine reading in 2020.

[Great Rumbler]

Imagine reading a Polygon article when you could be playing Cyberpunk as a hot lady with a huge cyberhog.

[El Babua]

As an aside I'm glad we actually got an RPG that evolved dialogue systems and writing with Disco Elysium and a crazy Sci-Fi story with terrifying undertones regarding our current technological trajectory with 13 Sentinels.

The need to put any additional expectations or hype on this as the next evolution of gaming is completely gone and I can just enjoy this as a stupid first person Katana swinging game with occasional dialogue

Got you covered, bro.

 

[Mr Gilhaney]

Disco Elysium can not be praised enough. Easily in my top 5 games of all times, and they did so without any combat or real gameplay mechanics other than talking. Sensational. Would hope other devs would get inspired, but doubt they can re-create anything close to it.

[mormapope]

Can't wait to play Disco Elysium on game pass sometime next year 

Based on a spoiler thread, Cyberpunk is looking like a great game that plays and runs well. I think some people on the internet will be disappointed, as they created a game in their heads instead of paying attention to what CDPR was going for.

Cyberpunk is looking like a more decision driven RPG GTA with a great story. The radio stations in the game are apparently varied and great. Which anything but GTA usually fucks up quite easily.

[headwalk]

to be faithful to its hyper-corporate dystopia, cyberpunk should be exploiting every element of identity that we are currently sensitive to to its most grotesque and profit driven extreme, setting the entire internet on fire in the process.

they're being gentle by comparison.

[kingv]

It sounds fairly rpg’ish to me. I saw a leak of perks and it looked like there are tons of them.

But all the people that got it early are the worst leakers ever so far and haven’t given a ton of detail.

[Human Snorenado]

I think Cyberpunk will end up being pretty damn good but maaaaaaaaan Disco Elysium is probably top 3, top 5 all time for me. Whereas I expect Cyberpunk to settle in Witcher 3 territory- great and in conversation for best game of a gen or whatever but not in my top tier of all time.

[Don Rumata]

The greatness of Witcher 3 came mostly from the production values and world building (even in a literal sense, their crafting of the world map) giving a strong sense of place and atmosphere.
Then some pretty decent/fun writing when it came to the dialog and side quests (the main quests was sort of bland, tbh).

It wasn't a great RPG or action game as far as depth of systems, balance, combat etc. and the same was true for Witcher 2.

I'm not sure how CDPR rose to GOD developer status with, essentially, one game, but i think the expectations did go off the charts a bit.
I think CP2077 will play it off in the same areas, with a better emphasis on role play, but i don't expect that aspect to tread any new ground at all.
That said, at that level of fidelity, they do play in their own league, when it comes to RPGs.

just a few bugs on Xbox One S:

I hope they never patch this, just leave last generation like this:

You mean you don’t consume freedom fries by shoving them up your ass after teleporting them through your nostrils? 

[Pissy F Benny]

If the rumours are to be believed benji doesn’t waste even a single crumb

[Transhuman]

So does the fact the review embargo is in effect until 3 days before launch indicate the game sucks? Or is that just the norm now for games? I admit i'm out of depth in this area.

[Pissy F Benny]

theyre usually the day before or day of release nowadays

for online focused games like say destiny most outlets won't drop a review until they've played the game on public servers

[Mr Gilhaney]

There's no real standard anymore it seems, not even within the same company. But makes sense if they want a patch to get out before lifting embargo.

Of bigger games this year, Ghost of Thushima was 3 days before recently as well, and demons souls wasnt even sent out (so obviously no reviews until after release), half life alyx was on the release day, death stranding 3 days before and same with AC:Valhalla. TLOU2 was a full week before though

[Pissy F Benny]

the main takeaway from reviews is knowing how generous a company is with their bribe monies

[kingv]

I don’t worry about it until it’s “on release day”. Then j get really suspect that the game is fundamentally broken in some way

[Great Rumbler]

My body is ready to be cyberpunked!

[Svejk]

Download shows to start in 3 days! 

That being said, I caved and just up and got the PS4 version (to play on PS5).  Bring on the glorious open world Cyberjank!!1!1! 

[MMaRsu]

Its 60fps on ps5 + ssd will help a lot

Footage seen above is without the day one patch I believe

[Nintex]

I expect I will really like this game but I think it's going to be uneven as that is was usually happens with games that are 8+ years in development.
Unless they rebooted the thing half way there's going to be some undercooked but also overcooked stuff in there.

The relatively small file size and some pre-release/leaked footage kinda hints that the assets won't all be up to 2020 standards compared to the same locales and scenes they keep using for their marketing.

[Mr Gilhaney]

I expect I will really like this game but I think it's going to be uneven as that is was usually happens with games that are 8+ years in development.

Do remember that it didn't really go into full development until 2016. Being in pre production for years while another game is being finished (or well, the witcher dlc), isn't that unusual.

Not to say it won't be uneven as fuck, because it is euro jank. 

[team filler]

so excited for this all inclusive game

Metacritic has hit 91/100 but likely won't hold.

There's bugs... tons of them... from the UI, to cutcsenes and everything in between.
And as I expected the whole thing at times collapses under its own weight and complexity.

EUROJANK 2077

[mormapope]

https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/cyberpunk-2077-review/1900-6417622/?ftag=CAD-03-10abf8b

The Good
There's plenty of flexibility in the RPG mechanics to build a character to suit your desired playstyle

Quickhacking combat is satisfying to execute and turns combat scenarios into elaborate puzzles


Side quests and characters provide the most interesting and human moments in the game

Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand adds dimension to nearly every quest, forcing you to rethink your decision-making instincts


The Bad
There's so much to do that isn't meaningful, so a lot of it ends up feeling superfluous

Superficial and often "edgy" aesthetic choices often have no real purpose, which makes them grating rather than adding anything relevant to the world


The incorporation of different cultures and backgrounds is wildly inconsistent, from good to inaccurate to downright offensive

The main story doesn't cohere with the rest of the game, with an urgency that's at odds with everything else

Technical issues, from visual bugs to full-on crashes, are so pervasive that it's impossible to ignore

Kallie played Cyberpunk 2077 for 50 hours, completing a variety of side quests and character arcs as well as one ending for the main story. She played a female Nomad V and specialized in hacking. Review code was provided by CD Projekt Red.

7/10

 

This reviewer is about to get a swath of threats and rage from the incel army.

Sounds like if bugs bother you and you were expecting something with a ton of depth, it's an alright game. Otherwise, it sounds pretty great.

[thetylerrob]

I remember her hardcore fangirling for that last shitty Pokémon game and she gave it a 9. So I’m not too worried about her score. PCGamer though....

[Coffee Dog]

The worst parts of the game are a couple billboards and it's buggy as shit  sounding bretty ok

[headwalk]

sounds like a eurojank masterpiece.

Isnt it just the day one patch isnt even here yet?

" The incorporation of different cultures and backgrounds is wildly inconsistent, from good to inaccurate to downright offensive"

Fuck right off 

Fuck off with your Apu is racist bullshit too

Goddamn Americans always fucking up shit for the rest of us

luv me over ambition
luv me bugs
'ate cultural sensitivity

simple as

[Kestastrophe]

The way the graphics bug out to how frequent it crashes, is just full of the exaggerated swagger of eurojank

Watching the first person fucking, with your big dicked cyborggirl getting rammed.

Any new Keanu downgrade pics?

[mormapope]

Any new Keanu downgrade pics?

If anything, he seems to be a highlight of the game and prominent throughout. Which is pretty surprising to me.

Are the basics janky or is the game solid other than bugs?

Bugs will get fixed but nothing outside of re-writing the core game can fix true euro-jank like Kingdom Come.

General bugs and crashing. I don't think questlines or gameplay bugs are too bad.

[thetylerrob]

 It turns out this game is just porn???

[tiesto]

If Witcher is any precedent, I'm sure an enhanced edition will come out next year... think I'll wait on that one, as bugs are a bit of a turnoff for me tbh.

[BIONIC]

I too enjoy satire of objectification.

Gamers worldwide will play Cyberpunk and the way in which corporations use and objectify us will finally be exposed.

Why the fuck they want cultural sensitive from ads in a fucking cyberpunk game.
