Watched that trailer!

So the first thing every single npc character in that trailer is a complete caricature. Every single person in there is designed to scream their role at you 20 yards away to the extreme. Politician? Extra greasy and seedy. Punk? More spikes!

8000 choices for your face that no one will see ever. Ever ever ever.

I have 1 Street Cred and 7 Perk points.

There is a minigame with a ghost squid.

I am making one of four dialogue choices.

I'm shooting a pistol and the guy flies backwards.

There are many many cutscenes. A lot of badly animated uncanny valley dudes are moving their lips and then some make gestures to indicate they are sighing.

This game looks like it takes itself very seriously.





Wow this product looks like hot garbage. Derivative and shallow. This is the best they had to show? This is their trailer? Fuck me and the state of the industry these days. I mean I keep hearing about this, there's hype oh cyberpunk oh cyberpunk. So far it looks like a boring pile of shit.

Oh no I have some chip in my head with information and oh wow something something big bad guy and then the real bad guy and now I'm a god. I bet that's the entire plot.

edit: what's their budget? Looks HUGE! Keanu? I'm going to watch another trailer or something, I can't believe it's this bad from that one alone.

This without the parade raininess. Nothing about this game raised any flags in my head of "omg that looks so innovative and fun hype hype hype". What is it that looks so appealing about this game? That you can change the size of your char's dick?

I guess if it's a less cancerous GTA V that could be fun but nobody could know that yet.

Cyberpunk is a PC game and not a multi-platform game. Heard it here first.

That's refreshing that it's not the other way around

Yes. Representation is important to gamers.

Ah, worth a single playthrough then it sits in the hidden section of steam collecting digital dust. Probably better to just watch the cutscenes montage that will be on Youtube in a few days to get the story.

[magnetaress]

this game has so much hype, i will not be buying it for 20 more years

This game is going to be friggen awesome, but they are notorious for patching a great game, into AN AMAZING GAME, so I am going to hold off for a few months at least. Unless someone sends me it for Christmas.

To me, the innovation in this game is that its story looks like I'd watch a TV series about it, instead of something stupid like 1 dimensional warrior or MALE clone (drake), of FEMALE clone (laura croft), of Indiana Jones.

The most innovative thing you can do in video games IMO at this point is, stop making the same stupid stories, in the same stupid worlds, with the same stupid characters that would get less than -5 stars if a movie reviewer or TV reviewer were to critique it.

That is the innovation games need.

Really was a fan of Control for that reason. Id watch that in a theater if it was a movie trailer.

What games need is gameplay. I have played DoD:Source since 2005, that game has ZERO story. What they need to do is cease making games and start making Anime or Pixar films.

mblake is a dickhole but qft. The problem is story games appeal to these bourgeois "gamers" who are "finally getting into 'gaming'". Who tend to have more disposable income, be too shallow to appreciate competitive games, and think a graphical RL Stein choose your own adventure with garbage writing is innovative for some fucking reason. ESpecially because they can finally get gaymarried in a videogame, wow, like you couldn't do that in EQ except better in 1999. They get some sense of achievement or coolness from finally joining the hip young gamer crowd. I despise these peasants. Their heads are totally full of nonsense. I can't explain enjoying these poorly written story games any other way.

It's netflix style consumption. Gotta be always consuming something "new", even though there's tons of past masterpieces and it is obvious that the media space is totally off the rails and producing almost nothing of value presently. It's a matter of identity to them.

And the truth? Representation really does matter to this "gamers" and markets incredibly well, and the market for sucking in these types will stay larger than actual gaming, which remains niche, forever. There are more stupids than smarts, and the mainstreaming of gaming means we're set back 40 years now. All we can look forward to is hopeful saturation and the development of niche companies interested in competitive gaming in the vein of HLMod shooters with a "medium" (compared to huge cutsceney voiceacted projects, but not shoestring) budgets. Right now that space is totally unfilled and it sucks dick.

anyway no VR support. sounds like it turned out shitty. Called it!

I'll be spending this weekend's gamertime having fun playing VR skyrim, which is for me the first time I ever found the game playable. and it's fun, complete and semi-unbuggy, since I waited 10 years. I even have a wang slider modded in, altho I play a wamon. Newest game I've enjoyed, unless Terraria (no story, best game of decade) came out after it, I forget.

[Thulian]

i thought it came out already

[Evia]

It did. Apparently its pretty bug ridden which shouldn't surprise anyone considering all the pushback release dates.
