Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

So, disliking CEOs and other bureaucratic fucks that are conveniently hypocrite and have no principles turns into a Twitter SJW, ok buddy, whatever you say buddy.

No matter what you say I'm not planning paying for most games, including this clone of GTA 5.

In other words: "I'm as cancerous as twitter with their cancel culture and I'll hold people's past actions against them forever and fucking ever."

I too judge games based on a 300p video of pre-release last-gen console ports.

It has been clear for a while that the console versions are a mess and that the machines are just straight up not capable of running the game, I mean it fucking failed certification for christs sake and that usually means either the game does not run or is bricking consoles.

And just to point out that there is no new-gen version yet, footage from PS5 is just the PS4 game hastily thrown together to get it running on the new hardware.

As for the PC version, which is the actual game as intended, the console versions literally existing just to trick Sony and Microsoft into paying for their advertising, It a fucking AAA game of course its going to be a bug ridden mess, what idiot thinks otherwise.

Everyone knows not to buy AAA at launch and anyone that does gets everything they deserve, add on the fact that this is an open-world rpg with branching story paths, its going to be basically unplayable for 3 months.

None of this is to defend CDPR, or suggest any of this is right or fair, or to say that charging however much new games cost nowadays for something that barely works is anything but bullshit, but to say that writing the game off as shit because of this is hopelessly premature.

If in june/july of next year you show me high-end pc footage of a fully patched game still being a glitched mess, then I will write it off, but more likley I will be able to pick this up + dlc for about £20 in 18 months and have a good time.

I hate apple and their minimalism that all other companies want to be, but going to the oposite extreme where you can't tell if this is cyberpunk 2077 or WoW is just as fucking bad, there's a reason any WoW player worth their salt have to put on a thousand UI modifiers to play properly and that reason is shit UI design, and no amount of 4k ULTRA HD 4080p resolution atomic powered LED screen is gonna save your game from looking like the windows XP pipe screensaver

Ok but why is this game so... bland? You can do so much fun shit with cyberpunk, make a stylish world, have a unique amazing artstyle, think of what the fashion and slang can be, design technology interestingly, etc etc. Gibson's bridge trilogy is more stylish, and it's literally books, no visuals. I'm not even touching on gameplay and story, idk how those will work out in the full game.

I don’t know what happened between the first trailer and the actual game trailer, but they definitely changed the atmosphere and design of it all.

I admit that I’m an old school 80s/90s lover with Ghost in the Shell and Neuromancer. You don’t have to make everything doom, gloom, and no sun because you make it Cyberpunk but with synthwave, Miami beaches, and retro Americana or something out of Bladerunner 2049. But the whole game for that not to be in this game just feels way too fucking odd. I think the marketing just made it look really gay and bland.

The Bridge Trilogy is amazing. The fact the Golden Bridge in it is literally a city of its own with shoddy infrastructure and the divide between rich and poor literally defining whether you live or die on the main streets...
