Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

A few minutes in gimp and I am now ready for holiday 2077, I ought to be freed up tonight just around the time the crying begins.
 
How would your player survive a nuke though that wrecks the entire city?

I think that they'll either choose a canon ending, or just have DLC as prequels/parallel stories (like in GTA IV).

In the later case, they could also have different playable characters, which could help buff out the plotline and universe.
theyll just do it the same way they did it in TW3. Its going to be a more expansive and contained side story that requires you to be mid to late game level that maybe brings you to an entire new area.
 
Girls and guys cream over Keanu, apparently. Or maybe just Redditors.
well, keanu had a sad life. and he's not one of the cunty celebs you'd usually expect, so part of it isn't completely unwarranted.

besides, CDPR being retarded and wasting him isn't really his fault.

DON'T VOTE FOR TRUMP
NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN

...

So even in a dystopia the TDS is still running strong?!

EDIT: other than that, the short film was actually bretty gud.

there's a point when TDS stops being cringy fun you can smirk about and just becomes sad. so is trump still running as a 120+ year old in 2077? might as well put in some "BUY WAR BONDS" or "FREE VIETNAM" for some popular references...

or it's some meta joke that trump loses the vote, comes back in 2024 so hard it became such a meme it's still valid in 2077? that could be fun, but I doubt they are that clever, plus no one would need to steal from the fucking cookie monster for that.

 
Interesting. Can you explain why that is a giveaway or why that kind of thing happens that way when wokeism infects a company? My mind fails to fill in the blanks there.
It's just the 'everyone's work is valuable' mantra writ large. Smaller departments like foley and music are generally handled by small teams or outsourced and they generally don't squabble over things externally, so what comes out of them is (mostly) consistent. Art though, you're going to need a LOT of people and in order to keep everything looking correct you need someone to create a very strict and verbose style guide and enforce it with an iron fist. If the guide doesn't get written or isn't strict enough that anyone can refer to it in relation to a particular piece of art and accept/reject it there's going to be drama and a shitty art lead is more likely to just accept the non-fitting work than contest it, especially if contesting it could lead to allegations of racism/sexism.

If you want to see what perfect on-model stylization looks like, check out Dragon Quest XI. Square Enix has the process down to a science.
If you want to see as bad as it can possibly get, ValiDate exists.

Side note: A lot of cut/unfitting art winds up in the game anyway even if it's not used. It's worth checking out the pages on tcrf.net for any of your favorites, there's some really funny/weird stuff left on discs and in roms sometimes. This model may or may not have been in Half Life 2 at one point, there's a constant edit-war to remove/readd it over the fact that it purportedly came from a source leak:

I've finished the prologue(?) and have woken the fuck up, samurai.

I recall there was discussion about the HUD looking cluttered, there are options to hide certain HUD markers(minimap, health/stamina, job tracker etc.) There's also an option to turn off damage numbers.

There are also options to turn off things like chromatic aberration, lens flare, motion blur. I kept them on and apart from the lens flare I haven't really noticed them, though it's good to be able to turn it off.

It's kind of dark. The scene where Vic's telling V that the chip is writing Johnny's mind over her's is pretty emotional. FemV's voice actress does a really good job.

Keanu just told me to kill myself.

He's like immediately an asshole. You try to leave your apartment and he just shoves you back, makes you hit your head repeatedly against the window. Misty gives you omega blockers to try and block him out, then when you go to take one he knocks them aside and starts mocking you.

You get to play as him pretty early, right after Dex shoots you. He plants the bomb at Arasaka tower and he nearly gets away but Adam Smasher fucks him up. He survives and gets taken away somewhere, where Saburo Arasaka uses Soulkiller on him.

Yorinobu strangles Saburo to death and you and Jackie get to watch. Jackie actually puts the Relic in his head first, but he puts it into your head as he dies. His death is pretty much what was in the E3 2019 trailer. Imagine spoiling your own game that early then spending over a year telling people "Oh no, he doesn't have to die." Unless there's some super complicated sequence of events you have to pull off I think his death is unavoidable.

So far I haven't encountered any gamebreaking bugs. A lot of visual ones, like textures taking their time to load properly, Takemura handing me an invisible gun, a floating phone. I parked my car on a slope and when I came back to it, it was half floating. One of the guys in Konpeki Plaza was glitching the fuck out and I thought I'd have to reload but I managed to fix it just by shooting him when he was standing still. EDIT: Your clothes also disappear sometimes. I was getting the Kiroshi implants installed and my pants disappeared, one time I looked in the mirror and I was a naked floating torso for a few seconds. Unequipping a jacket made the sleeves of my shirt disappear for a few seconds.

I'm enjoying it. The combat's fine, I like how the city looks, hopefully the bugs can be fixed by the day one patch.
 

OHHH NO NO NO NO

This really doesnt look like such a disaster , just the usual AAA being AAA but it would have been funny if it exploded for the worst. Doesn't even seem like its getting launch day review bombed since it has 99999 terabytes of patches.

In one of the Back to the future movies Trump was the president in the dystopian cyberpunk america. Cyberpunk has always been like that.

The japanese are the last hope tbh. They were fucking up hard for the entire ps3 era and trying to emulate western games but it looks like Japan devs are getting their shit back together. Might be my wishful thinking though.
 
In Fallout3 you die in the end of the main story line, but if you have DLC you are miraculously get dragged out and resurrected by the Brotherhood of Steel, so if they want DLC they cant pull a bigger ass-pull than that.
At least with broken steel they introduced the concept of someone other then you or steel chick setting off the contraption. Like a super mutant, who isn't hurt by the radiation.

Of course bethesda still treated it as a bad ending if you didn't kill yourself, because todd howard is a massive bitch.
 
theyll just do it the same way they did it in TW3. Its going to be a more expansive and contained side story that requires you to be mid to late game level that maybe brings you to an entire new area.
Pretty much this ^^

plus how long til CD sends an DMCA to Null?

if capcom did it, it ain't gonna be a surprise these clowns do it for clout
 
Heard the day one patch isn't out yet.

Has Anita Sarkeesian gave her opinion yet? Wish I could see the look on her face when she sees the collectible dildos and in game ads like Mr. Stud.

The thing is... having even Fawkes, Charon and Seargeant RL-3 to activate the project in the base game they don't can't shit and only saying bullshit crap to don't have freeroam mode after the main story. With the Broken Steel DLC even if you put the code you will survive.

At least a mod which i use keeps you the dying part if you activate the project yourself (technically a game over, without option of freeroaming). Using Sarah Lyons or the companions i mentioned gets you to the DLC without problems.
