Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

[PeeveTheSheev]

Oh, so Carolyn Petit is behind that controversy... That explains everything. He saw that the 3D model in that fake ad looked like a woman so he's reminded that he will never pass as a woman.

To be fair, what inane 'controversy' over nothing isn't kicked off by an Eldritch Abomination-tier troon nowadays?

Haven't seen anything about how preferences work regarding genital options in this game yet.

Still its not major loss, Judy somehow looks much worse in the actual game than she did in her initial reveal.

I hate how every "cyberpunk" girl in this game look like they would shoot for Suicide Girls and Joanna Angel when they aren't on screen.

Another stream which seems to be running higer graphics settings than Spiff, commentary not as fun tho.

Isn't this realism in cyberpunk setting?

Isn't this realism in cyberpunk setting?

Is it? In a world of nearly endless and cheap body augmentation wouldn't the average person be exceptionally beautiful rather than exceptionally ugly?

 

[ThatOneLurker]

Source on that?

This is what I've found.

Some old Intel on the game and broken promises.

Plenty more. Yong Yea has complete coverage on most of the development cycle.

I don't know, I tend to think like the Major in GitS, if you live in a cybernetic body, why not pick a hot model?

- There is no happy ending. You have no path to freedom.

To be honest it makes sense. Only transhumanists retards think that putting your brain in a robot frame is a utopia. There's no freedom in a setting where corporations own everything.

Oh, I misinterpreted the original intent. I thought that @Miller was complaining that the women in game look too much like the goth/punk -girls you see in Burning Angel videos, not that they would be ugly.

You guys got owned lmao

There's no site URL plug in this screenshot. That anime avatar has an account.

Since Kojimbo is in the game, he will probably shill for it.

I meant both, that they're ugly and covered with tattoos, like some ugly model that you would find on Burning Angel (don't get me wrong, those sites used to have hot models, now the only requirement is ugly tattoos).

And the reality is definitely somewhere in the middle: It won't be dead in a year and it is not great.

I legitimately had more fun with Red Alarm on the Virtual Boy than with most (not all) VR games. I know they tried to make a new VR Descent game but that was over thinking it. They just need to port the original Descent to VR at a higher resolution. Or fuck it; port Red Alarm, wireframe models and all.

There's a VR VB emulator if you haven't seen it. It's definitely worth checking out. It presents layers at varying depths like a puppet show set, I didn't try it with red alarm but it's amazing with Mario clash and Wario land.

Found this for the Michael does life thread

Holy shit, this game might need a month of patching

Calling it now : they're using BSP and their implementation is bugged, specifically the part involving portal generation or casting through portals, and within a week it'll be fixed and all the pop-in and lod model bugs will disappear in a single patch. I bet it fixes at least one major crash bug as well. Shame it won't fix the myriad other issues but at least it'll be playable.

E: At some point people were recommending Sleeping Dogs and I completely agree with that recommendation. If anyone wants it on the cheap it's $2.50 right now for the definitive edition and totally worth the time.

Oh no doubt, but his playlist for the time being is the most concise catalog of information I've been able to find for the game and all references to past versions of the game, and trouble with production.

If you want a peak behind the curtain, I think his is the best for it.

* I say she but the hairline is making me think it's actually a troon.

The hairline says "he" but the titline says "she".

We all know this is a glitchy mess but did it still sell like crazy anyway?

Or are we looking at a bona fide flop all around?

 

[Noideawhattopick]

Just watched a livestream of someone on YouTube playing it.
I have to say it looks really quite interesting. I might pick it up on Ps5 next year

It won't end up like No Man's Sky. I can promise you that. Too many people have been waiting too long, and the early reviews haven't been hard enough on it to suddenly flip criticism.

Also, CDPR started backpedalling on what features would be in the game over a year ago, which definitely helped soften the blow.

Early launch PC stream:

 

[The Last Stand]

Trans people are proportionately among the most at-risk targets of hate crimes in the United States. The ultimate result is this: Transphobes treatCyberpunk 2077 as yet another fight in their greater culture war. CD Projekt Red profits at the expense of their trans critics. No matter what the critics say, the reactionaries will respond with cruel dismissal at best and violent hatred at worst. This is why the transphobia perpetuated in-game is being called violent -- because it ultimately perpetuates the hateful bigotry that begets anti-trans violence.

So it's ultimately a dyspostian world for trans people?

Trans people aren't happy, the core audience isn't happy, the game is broken.

I'd like to blame the pandemic for this undercooked, forced product but this has been a recurring pattern in the AAA gaming industry recently.

It won't end up like No Man's Sky. I can promise you that. Too many people have been waiting too long, and the early reviews haven't been hard enough on it to suddenly flip criticism.

No Man's Sky initially flopped because of lack of transparency and ambition from Sony to an indie studio. Sean Murray was the hype man but he talked more than he could deliver.

There is no way it's going to flop.
It's been top seller in Steam for months, even during big sales during which its price stayed the same, it managed to be in the top 10.
Unless there is an absolutely stupid amount of refunds they'll make money on it.
If it turns out to be an average game as it seems to be so far, it'll just be forgotten in a few months like that new RPG from Obsidian which was so mundane and average I can't remember its name instead of being treated like the absolute disaster that was No Man's Sky. There will be no reason to make this game better because no one will care.

I agree for the most part but Outerworlds was nowhere NEAR as highly anticipated as Cyberpunk. This game has been hyped up for almost eight years now.
