Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

That was pretty disappointing.

Apparently the 10 minute gameplay collage was the 50 minute gameplay demo at e3 but hacked up. The gameplay looked pretty meh again.

They very clearly removed the "controversial" bits from e3 as they were notably absent and they even had Mike Pondsmith on camera for 5 or 10 minutes talking about the voodoo boys and animals gangs. More or less hitting the same points as his twitter respons to that controversy.

Actually new stuff we saw in the demo. We saw some very Syndicate-esque quick hacking (the remake) and a weird letter matching hacking mini-game. We saw a tiny bit of the bike and most importantly the character sheet or rather...the perk system from the witcher for about 10 seconds. From what i could tell each perk will have a "score" and the stats will dictate what the total sum of your perk "score" for that type of perk will be. So if you have your Cool at 8 the score sum of all the Cool related perks cannot surpass 8. The character stats don't seem to have any other value.
Also there was somekind of basic melee system. There was definitely some kind of parrying going on.

Well, you can't really tell if it's meh or not. It was interrupted and skipped too much to really get a good idea of the gameplay.
 
The gender controversy has me feeling...mixed.

Like I understand where they're coming from, but feel like them "removing gender" will just confuse people more than anything. Hell, even Shovel Knight, another game that recently added a "third pronoun set" still lets you just choose male or female

Was there? I skipped through it so I can't say for certain but I'd guess it's more likely they just have a parry as part of the melee kill move or whatever.

It didn't look like it improved since the first vido, thus "meh"

I don't see what's so bad about there not being an gender option. It's not too far-fetched for the line between genders to thin out in a world where cybernetic augmentation is a common occurrence, but you can still customize the character to look obviously male or female anyway.

I disagree. If I can't play a fat neckbeard dude wearing a trenchcoat cutting niggas with a samurai sword, it's no cyber future I want.

It's sort of fun in RPGs when some characters treat you differently depending on what you play as, and CDPR making things like that makes it seem like that won't be the case in the game. It's not a dealbreaker by any means.

Isn't it funny how these "based polish developers" are very blatantly kowtowing to SJW talking points? Haven't seen any epic gamers point that out yet.

Also you could play a psycho troon with a magnum dong as far back as Saints Row 2. Between that, the Sons of Samedi, the Ronin and the Hot Coffee-esque minigame that game would stirr up so much shit today.

I found it kinda concerning how controlled and neutered this demo is at this point if the game.

Also am I hallucinating or is Keanu's character textures kinda downgraded there?

Right now, this just turned from "absolute preorder" to "wait and see"

Same. I've been excited about this game since forever and now it feels like there are subtle changes being put in place to capitulate to the twenty troon cunts that whine and clamor. They really seemed above that pandering bullshit. They've got more money than god - why apologize, ever?
