So what are your predictions as to how it will turn out?
If I had to bet, it will be like Witcher 3 on launch: competant, polished and very flawed, with a story that won't be too special. However, once again, because the rest of the industry is dogshit by comparison it will once again become the most underraterino best gamerino evar in the eyes of consoomers, despite it being only above average in a less shitty world.
Tbh part of me wants to see it bomb as an overproduced mess so the "gamers" would realize all companies are shit.
Also there is zero chance the end result will be worth the unpaid crunch hours of the actual programmers.

Cyberpunk is probably the most egregious example of spectacle media I've seen so far; it's supposed to show a neoliberal dystopia where people have basically given up on trying to stand up to corporations and they are free to fuck up the planet completely, and yet the only thing gamerz can focus on and is advertised by CDPR is the cool shiny guns and cool neon lights. I doubt that they'll even show anything that is too bad inside the game or something that gets gamers to question their own reality like Deus Ex did.
>>

 No.1862

>>1860
Ehh… While I do not believe it won't be that damning of neoliberalism as cyberpunk shit should, I think its just marketing being retarded as always. This is the same industry that advertised Dragon Age: Origins by playing deathmetal over the battle cutscene. Thus I'd still say its worth being hopefull about the plot at least a tad.

>Style over substance.
>Attitude is everything.
>Always take it to the Edge.

Apparently "Cyberpunk™" as a RPG has always been an aesthetic spectacle. I suppose its my fault for being excited about the first cyberpunk video game ever wow! without realizing that. It seems the only 3 factions are Corp, Street Kid, and Nomad and they are all oriented around individualism and buying cool toys.

The creator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pondsmith seems like he kind of sucks and to me tabletop RPGs like this are about overcharging for artbooks, abusing intellectual property, and marketing to create repeat customers. Cyberpunk to these people is only the same level Steampunk or Mecha Anime, its just a gimmick to sell merchandise.

The worst part is that this will be so many peoples first introduction to cyberpunk that it will reimagine the genre in the public consciousnesses, the same way Anarchy or Punk is seen as chaos and being mad at your parents.

>>1882
I think at this point it is guarnteed to do big numbers knowing how much hype it created, the question is weather it will flop post release like that do it yourself toy from the movie Beaver.
On a sidenote the gameplay seems alright. Its not 3rd person shit like GTA at least, and with all the ebin cyberpunk tech it could have a pretty cool combat system. However a big issue for me is that all the trailers focus hard on combat, which might be an issue for an RPG thats set in a more modern setting where it would make a lot of sence for a "pacifist" playstyle to exist. I feel that as a story experiance, the game won't be any good, and just replicate the Witcher 3 model where there are no really complex choices appart from stuff like "which one of these 2 dudes do you support?".

Yes cyberpunk always seems to me like anti-capitalist without being socialist.
>>

 No.1918

In spite of people complaining about 2077 showing a genre being stripped from its ideology, I think even classic cyberpunk often hardly qualifies as leftist.
The construction of the setting in Blade Runner seems to reflect some anti-capitalist attitudes but those rarely come to forefront during the story itself.
AKIRA is certainly open to conservative if not fascistic interpretations, portraying a world of degenerated social mores and corrupt elites that is opposed on the one hand by a ruthless military strongman and on the other by a "resistance" of ambiguous politics that turns out to be led by one of the corrupt elites.
The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell have little to do with capitalism as far as I can tell.
I haven't read Neuromancer.
Sure there's RoboCop and Deus Ex, but the point is that anti-capitalism isn't as inherent to the genre as everyone says.

Having an already set character with only 3 backstory is already a big no for me. Pissed me off that I can’t even name the character (V?!? Seriously?!?). Fuck I miss the days of Arcanum or even Jagged Alliance where I can make my character’s backstory.
>>

 No.1921

>>1919
Well, in theory a story with a preset character isn't that bad, and can turn out really strong (like Disco Elysium, or the guy from new Deus Ex games for a more AAA example). However I doubt they will bother to make the character in Cyberpunk to be an integral part, and thus it might end up being just a bland empty spot that might get a unique dialogue option once in a while with differing background.
Also, if you want a recent game that allows picking a backstory I'd recommend Tyranny, probably one of the best games last decade imo.

Can someone explain why the fuck there is so much hype about this game? It's just a shooter rpg that will likely have an above-average story in a meh setting. So… its like the new DeusEx. Not to mention that, at least according to marketing, it will not have things that truly make a good rpg like, idk, pacifist options that aren't just ebin smg pew pew or a fully personalized main character. The only explanation I can see is that it was made by witcherino devs.

If the leaks are anything to go by, it's going to be pretty standard FPS RPG that won't innovate anywhere. The shooting seems standard for a FPS and the netrunner hacking is similar to Watchdogs. The enemy AI seems terrible, there's quite a bit of animation jank, and it's pretty obvious CDPR has no experience with vehicles. It'll also need bug fixes in its first few months.
It's overrated and overhyped in the sense that people think this game will transform the industry/genre when it won't, at all, but for people who like the genre it seems like will be perfectly satisfactory. People keep comparing to GTA when it's more like Fallout.

So I did a quick tour of the internet to see what's being said:
-As expected with the marketing campaign the game is hyped at skyrim and no man's sky levels on reddit
-I did a quick stop at this forsaken place called /v/ and something like 95% of the posts about this game contain the word "tranny"
-Stupidpol also seems obsessed by the transgender question in video games, Marx would be proud…
-The game is acclaimed by the press despite seemingly having numerous bugs.
-Thus capital G gamers are currently taking part in an harassment campaign against reviewers who graded the game with less than 10/10
-The leaks are not looking good, I'll post them so you can judge by yourself

And as for actually having them, there is no point in dogging on about that either - 90% of the "cid-heteronormative" population that makes up the majority of people ALSO do not have human rights. I would even say that most trans people (who can only truly exist in the West where they can get their meds and surgery and lib-validation) are far better off than literally any ordinary person in Africa, India or any other exploited Third-World country.

The ussr had a pretty good oil industry in the 80s when this was made. And then the price of oil went down.

Also, europe, or the European economic community (including japan and the uk) are basically the top superpower/superpowers in this universe, to the point where even the corporations don't mess with it's citizens or government.

Human rights is a meme. You don’t have to be /pol/ to reject such a concept in favor of abolishing capitalism. In which is also the abolition of identities as a cure for alienation. You can be anything you want because in the end does it really matter what body you inhabit when your economic reality remains the same? Everyone should be gender fluid and separating trans people when sex change operation is now easier than ever is just stupid. See Thailand where some people change their sex multiple times based on their mood and preferences.

So I guess CP2077 takes the second place after Dragon Age Origins for a serious game that has both male and female genitals present.

On a serious note, who the hell asked for this? Not that I am complaining, I don't really care, but like, that was probably quite a bit of effort spent there.

This text about the soviet union from the cyberpunk fandom wiki is the most cursed and retarded shit you will ever read

>The communists decided to change all that during the October Revolution of 1917, which was fought between the tsarist army and two rivaling revolutionary forces. The Menshewiks propagated a more western approach and, though they were superior in numbers, were subsequently put down by the Bolshewiks. The latter were lead by one Lenin, who took his name from a tsarist work concentration camp near the Lena river.

>Lenin's rule was as iron-fisted and paranoid as could be. Some of his many accomplishments were the socializing of all business, the murdering of all tsarists he could get hold of, as well as many critics of his regime. To better control the various minorities within his realm, he instituted a series of resettling programs. His plan was to move Russians into the minorities' territories to split up the homogeneous population. Other minorities didn't fare as well. Hundreds of thousands of royalists, farmers and intellectuals died in his concentration camps.

>His methods were used to lesser (or greater) extent by all of his successors up to Gorbachev. All of the old men had gone paranoid by the time they reached their positions. The years of political infighting, backstabbing and intrigues took its toll on them. Not that this differs much from western leaders. When Gorbachev assumed power, the economic break- down of the Soviet Union was already more than apparent He knew that things would have to be changed if the USSR was to survive. One of his bolder steps was to reinstitute private ownership. Thus he set the base for economic growth.

I think the game is pretty much so obviously Left leaning that it seems like people are looking for it to be hidden. I mean, in the first two hour of wandering around town I've found:

-A cop having a conversation with his partner that it is not their job to protect civilians against rampaging cyborgs.

-A Gig where corrupt cops have hired a Fixer to kill one of the few honest cops in the city. If you check her folder, her captain has folded because he can't go against the system by accusing fellow cops of corruption.

-The police murdering gang members
indiscriminately and getting hailed as heroes for it.

-The fact that all of the gangs in Night City pay the police tribute and you can rob them.

-The cops will gun you down if you approach them too closely.

-T-Bone says that cyberpsychos aren't necessarily evil and there's treatment for them but the cops portray them as horrifying murderers that need to be put down.

That's not even touching into the massive homelessness problem, the fact real food is almost impossible to get, and the environmental hellhole of the Badlands plus the fact "Real Water" costs 30 dollars. There's a sign outside my apartment talking about how your tap water is probably toxic so don't drink it—BUY WATER INSTEAD.

Played for an hour or two and I kinda get this vibe as well. MC feels like an idiot akin to the "cool future" meme, seeing fucked up shit, coming from a fucked up background but still keeping this retarded Avengers tier quipy spunky atitude about becoming a bigshot.

Now, from what I saw from the trailers, I think the MC gets absolutely fucked at some point. And, if I had trust in the devs (which I don't really do due to the "we be apolitical" shit), I'd guess that this event would change that attitude, or at least open up character paths other than "grr I revange" / "welp Imma grind back to the top".

Also, the setting it self deffinetly seems anti-capitalist, or at the very least anti-corporate, which in all honesty is the same struggle. However I also kinda fear that the wider point of the setting isn't even about corporations being bad, and that its just a staple they took because its the trope of the setting, but that instead it will just be one big loveletter about how cool and epic transhumanism is. And in that case, bravo CDPR, you just recreated a shittier version of Deus Ex Human Revolution.

Oh and the combat feels dogshit. Just why the fuck did they add RPG combat system to a setting with guns? I remember that Sseth quote about FO4 being "like Witcher… with guns, or Skyrim… with gameplay" and in all honesty this fits even more perfectly for CP. When you pick Hard and it takes like 5-8 direct double-barrel shotty rounds to the head to kill a grunt, its really not a good look. I think even Bioshock Infinate, which was panned for being bulletsponge on high difficulties, wasn't this bad. And to tie back in to the new Deus Exes, how come those can have good RPG-like combat systems in cyberpunk esque setting, but CP can't?

>>6693
Saw just before hitting reply. Yea, setting absolutely feels anti-capitalist, but as I say in this post, I feel as if that is all just capitalist realism about which you won't be able to do fuck all, and neither will your MC cares about it.

To add a few notes of anti-cap shit I found:

I don't really think this presents as anticapitalist to the average person. A lot of people will just think that the cops are good and people are bad because they are scum and deserve it. The anticapitalist messages seem cartoony and trivialized.

Jackie says somewhere in the beginning to V that you have to watch out for yourself and somewhere I read that the creator literally said "its not about saving the world its about saving yourself'. This is actually pretty key to cyberpunk, where the MC is often a criminal and the arc is about them "making it" through willpower and being really cool despite their situation. Its like some chosen one mary sue great man of history shit. Corporations are bad because really smart dudes are in charge of them and they are mean and so a really smart dude comes along with a personal vendetta and takes them down but changes nothing about the global economic structure.

Intensely disappointing that theres no option to start a communist revolution, but I realized a few days ago that the whole cyberpunk genre was dead on arrival and never intended to or even tried to deal with economic problems. Its always been hyped up individualist idealism on steroids. Self insert hero fantasy garbo.

Looking at it without expecting a meaningful plot, it does seem fun, and self aware in a 80s cartoon kind of way, but Silverhands being an idealist tool is kind of grating and bothers me.

Yeah the lead writer did an interview for some German game website and he said that the whole setting of the game is "where the End Of History really is the end" or something to that effect. Essentially Capital has won, and at this point all you can do is bear witness and try and carve out whatever nice life ye can (which makes sense considering cyberpunk came out of the writings of disaffected 60's radicals who saw the wave break like John Brunner or William Gibson)

For some reason it was an early CDPR stated goal for the game that it would be “uncompromisingly adult oriented” or something. I think they actually didn’t intend for this to be an edgy 90s kind of DOOM thing, though I could be wrong. It seemed like early on they wanted the Cyberpunk setting to actually be somewhat faithful to the subject matter and have serious social commentary integrated into the game. I was under the impression this was coming from a “we want to make a masterpiece” place. But the genitals feel very superficial, so I’m not sure what the thought process ultimately was behind them. I feel like this was supposed to be a bit of a trans humanist cyborg thing, but it seems like a lot of shit had to be dialed back. They were clearly a bit overwhelmed with their targets, and I can see why. The city is massive and very detailed, it must have taken them ages to put it together. The fall back to being a mission based action adventure like GTA or Ubisoft stuff seems to suggest that they decided they had to abandon whatever vision they had of a really dynamic RPG setting so that they could focus on crafting a couple of linear storylines and the entire setting itself.

Another thing. It seems like the trivialization of radicalism is really strong. Johnny silverhands says he "died for his ideals" not even ideology, just ideals, but what are his ideals? V says when johnny is in his head hes angry and hates everyone, he nukes a corpo building and then gets captured, where an arisaka tech tells him her husband died in the building. Why is this asshole nuking random civilians? because hes angry? It doesn't even make sense and has no material basis in reality, its literally just terrorism happens because people are selfish, bad, stupid and angrily lash out. People are meming about terrorists being freedom fighters, but they aren't portrayed that way, they are just as unhinged psychos that got bored or jealous of other people success. Bad guys are evil because they like to be mean, crime happens because criminals like doing crimes. Anticapitalism is portrayed as an aesthetic style that comes off as reckless and immature, like a liberal that thinks anarchy is when everything is chaotic, and anarchists just want to bomb things to cause chaos because they are antisocial nihilists. Non-marxist critique of anarchism is fucking retarded and damages communism by extension. Extreme levels of capitalist realism.

I think this game represents the overload of aaa formula of handcrafted open worlds, cutscenes and setpieces, heavy narrative with shallow writing that pretends to be not shallow, that collapses under its own weight. It's telling that in 8 years of crunching they delivered something that is for all intents and purposes a rather mediocre experience. The only cool thing about it are the real time dialogues/polylogues with free movement, everything else mediocre. Cyberpunk 2077 does not deliver, and it really couldn't have. Too big, too bloated, too ambitious and then too scaled down from that ambition.

Share your funniest bugs please.
I'll start:
>When using the mirror, my character loses their arms (as in they are just gone in the mirror image) and gets stripped naked, then, after a few seconds, the arms and clothes pop back on
>Get softlocked while using the scan function to hack a camera. Game seems to assume I'm in the scan mode, so everything is slowed down to a crawl and I can't use shit.
>When in the first mission in the butcher shop, when I pick up the target from the bath, she starts flipping jaggedly in my arms, meanwhile my character legs are stuck in the animation for sitting by the bathtub pose so I just float around with a glitching naked body in hands
>The section where you drive back home fails to render the shit it wants to show you in time, so I get stuck for 2 minutes at the cross section where the Corpocops are supposed to blow up some criminals. Its empty, and then they just randomly pop in and explode
>Same happens at the bridge checkpoint. Jack starts talking to an officer, but she isn't there. Then the whole police blockade just pops in
>When driving past the blockade, the car just plows through a wrongly placed police tank
>Finally, the hell ride finishes with the car phasing through the car lot gate that failed to open
>When in the car with the fat black guy, he randomly stops moving his lips during dialogue, then starts back up again.
>Walking around the street and enter a building by phasing through its doors. They later pop in fully and I can enter exit properly
>Probably an issue on my end, but most passers by in more crowded environments look like melted Ken dolls since their textures aren't there.

So, while we shit on the game, I do kinda want to give CDPR credit for creating a setting that is so fucking repulsive. I know people who found Witcher to be an awful setting that genuinely made them depressed, I know people who had the same with Disco Elysium or Pathologic. But I personally never got touched as much as by this piece of shit of a world. At least in all those other settings there is hope, or at the very least some sort of humanity still left in between the shit. But Cloud City is just so fucking awful compared to anything else. I literally don't see anything good in it, fucking nothing. Nothing worth fighting for, nothing worth saving, no fucking future. Just crass, loud shit, unappealing in any fucking way. The only thing in the least not totally awful are the redneck nomads who at least live outside the fucked system. Don't know if I'll bother finishing the game, but shit… I just hope there is some sort of "nuke everything", or, may I dream, a vid related ending.

Had no expectations of this game and didn't buy into the hype, but I have been aware that it's been in development for nearly a decade. I've only played the very first bit so far.

I don't condemn it for "just" being a competent RPG, but there are some definite cracks that are beginning to show right away.

Namely, the whole "origins" thing. Don't do origins if you aren't willing to commit to them. I'm already beginning to feel that the game is going to assume you have the "Streetkid" background except for specific HAVE I MENTIONED I'M A NOMAD TODAY or HAVE I MENTIONED I'M CORPORATE TODAY moments. I picked nomad because I incorrectly assumed that the game would have you asking a bunch of dumb questions that a person who grew up in Night City should already know. Instead, V seems to be intimately familiar with Night City. I know if the montage thing, Jackie introduced me to his friends, but that's doesn't explain why I'm apparently old friends with the local back alley cybernetics doctor. And one of the very first quests the game gives you says that it's a tradition in Night City that when a kid comes of age, their father gifts them a gun, but since my dad was shitty he didn't do that so someone else is going to give me my gift gun. Except my father isn't shitty, he's dead. A part of the Nomad background heavily implies that the reason why you left your Nomad clan and are headed to Night City is because you're broken up over the death of your family. And here I am, first set of quests in, shitting on my dead dad for not participating in a Night City tradition despite the fact that he was supposed to have been *a Nomad*. I know it's not the biggest thing, but in 8 years you'd think they could have at least given your origin a couple of custom texts for the first quests.

Also, not a fan of the fact that they introduce the city in a montage. I'm guessing that's what they use to get you on the same track as the other origins, but why even have Nomad as an origin if you're going to do this little to acknowledge it? Just make Streetkid the standard opening if that's what you're going with.

But in general, the game should really let you get to know Jackie a bit more, especially since I'm getting strong "this guy is going to get murdered to make me angry" vibes from him.

Hasn't ruined the game or anything for me. Just a bit odd that things like this would be missing in a game that's been in development for nearly a decade.

Doesn't bother me that V is basically his own character that you get a few options with like Geralt, though, like I said before, I wish there was a Nomad V that was less familiar with Night City and more familiar with vehicles, scavenging and smuggling.

I think CDPR is exposing that they have a workflow issue or something. There is a deep issue in the game. Like, I actually enjoy it tbh. I think the setting is cool, and sure it is just a typical action adventure open world thing, but it is pretty and there is a lot of flavor text attached to quests and some of the text dump items to give you some more details about the setting. But it is clear this game is jank in a way I assumed CDPR would avoid because of their rising profile since Witcher 3. Someone on 4chan pointed out that they don’t think the cars have real AI. I don’t think they do either, they have predetermined paths and if anything fucks with the paths, they seem to just stop in the road. Like, GTA cars have clear AI. This game in general has very weak AI. The pedestrians are retarded. The combat is serviceable, but it is your basic AI taking cover and shooting. It seems like it isn’t totally rare for an AI to just stop responding while crouching behind cover.

RDR 2 is a simple game in the sense that it is basically just go here shoot that punch this guy etc., but I don’t think it does it in the jank way that Cyberpunk does it right now. Rockstar clearly spend time on polishing their games. Sure, GTA games are staples of bug compilations, but I don’t think most people feel like it is a lack of polish, it is just because bugs are essentially unavoidable in games of this size. GTA bugs are treated as almost a treat, but Cyberpunk’s bugs feels like they transcend even just the bugs themselves. The games normal systems feel like bugs. When you see a street of cowering pedestrians in the same crouched pose just endlessly doing the same animation in synchronization, it feels like something went wrong. But of course I don’t think anything went wrong, I think the AI is just kind of garbage.

But on the flip side, the AI in RDR2 feels about as good as it could be. It feels responsive and dynamic. It is still a dull machine, it still repeats a set of animations or audio or it rag dolls in a controlled way or whatever, but it keeps up the theme park illusion of being in the American west. Cyberpunk’s city is clearly beautiful with a lot of labor out into it, but the way it responds to the player’s presence just feels kind of slapped together.

not to be all 'i told you so' but they really really shot themselves in the dick during development. It was obvious this would be the outcome the second they said it would be released for console. It should have been PC only. This was the biggest compromise and clearly fucked them hard. Setting aside the fact that its a parody of anticapitalism, the actual game play is fun, but all the interactive open world ray tracing procedural npc shit was absolutely never going to work on a console. They managed to piss off console owners and PC in the process by making neither one what they advertised.

It does remind me quite a lot of STALKER on release so I'm hoping we get some kind of 'Lost Alpha' style mod that brings in flying cars and persistent NPC AI in 10 years.

I think they ended up choosing the worst scenario there. Cyberpunk is basically a PS4 and Xbox One game, even though it runs like garbage on those consoles. The PS5 and Xbox X don’t have a native version yet, all the console players are using backwards compatibility to play. So CDPR released a new game for the old consoles and the PC, which seems to indicate they weren’t done optimizing for the new consoles yet because they were focusing on getting it working for the old ones (which failed clearly). It’s almost the worst case scenario. PC doesn’t seem like it was prioritized, it seems like they prioritized the old consoles but then with the generation shift and the new Nvidia cards looming they tried to bulk up the game’s tech so it wasn’t falling behind. So the game feels like a mixed bag. The city looks great and I think RT lighting does add to the whole aesthetic, but seems like a lot of other shit was just left to suffer.

By god Jack, imagine if all the CP77 manhours and budget was put into a game that intentionally limited itself to the graphics of Pillars of Eternity.

But really though, why the fuck did this cult of ebin graphixs and big open empty worlds came to be? For the longest time non-MMO RPG's were collections of labyrinths connected with a string and it was great. Obviously cool graphics are nice, but its a sisyphian task to do it in a modern-sized open world. And it would seem that the return to the old, more linear, but at the same time kinda more free formula of dungeoncrawl design, would simply create a far better gameplay experiance. Like lets look at Dragon Age 3. The game was panned for its use of lazy and pointless open world system. However we look at the games two main DLC's which both were a return to formula dungeon-esque, and we see just how well this old model can really shine in modern times. Oh and lets not forget that Disco Elysium, probably the best RPG(B) to date, managed to use only like what? 5 buildings, one background image of a factory and a few shacks without feeling the very least crammed?

Hence I put the (B) for book there. Also I really don't think that gameplay should have priority in RPG's. In DE's case adding anything would probably fuck up the game. Better be bare instead of draging along a shitty boring gameplay chore, like let's say Pyre did (sorry for the folks who like combat in Pyre btw, and also to some extent at least it make sense lore wise for it to be there, problem is that it sucks).
Just in general its hard to balance story with gameplay. Probably the only really successful way to do it is by full integration of the two, say like the Sunless games or Cultist Sim. Sure, its not too bad when the games are set in a kore action-friendly setting, like the Witcher, but if you want to do anything in a more civilized setting your options suddenly become very limited. Pretty sure all non-military themed games set in more modern times either fall into the categories of bureaucracy simulators (Papers Please) or secret service / heist shit.

GTA being one of the most profitable entertainment products of all time, and technological advancement making it easier to just quickly churn out open worlds. So same as any trend, really.
But I do feel like with Cyberpunk specifically there's a make-believe aspect of "I want to live in a cool cyberpunk world!". It's interesting to contrast with games like Disco Elysium which are very much about exploring (not necessarily literal spatial exploring but, say, exploring different options in a conversation) to find new and interesting things, whereas Cyberpunk seems almost unique in how thoroughly familiar it wants to be, at least as far as I can tell. It's much more about emulating a particular experience than working as a conventional game (something which stimulates you by challenging your skills) or, dare I say, a work of art (something which you admire for its design, beauty, cleverness, etc).
All of which is to say: Cyberpunk approaches the open world genre as the closest thing we currently have to an escapist ideal of video games, which is apparently its main appeal, although it seems to fumble that by not being particularly interactive and breaking down in verisimilitude very quickly.
I never got the impression that any of the hype about Cyberpunk was around exploring to find cool details, or interacting with interesting story elements, or even just having satisfying combat and other conventional gameplay. It always seemed about how well it could create the illusion of a cyberpunk world for you to immerse yourself in and act like a part of.

But games aren't movies nor books. We can evaluate Disco Elysium as interactive fiction and it's arguably superb.

That is undoubtedly debatable. While people disagree on the definition of games all the time, I think a particularly consistent definition that separates games (basketball) from other activities (simply throwing an inflated rubber ball around) is that a game is a test of skill for the purpose of entertainment. Tabletop role-playing scenarios have a big problem testing skill because the DM can change the rules at their whim at any moment. In this environment it is impossible for the participants to hone their skills because the skills being tested at any moment are subject to flux. Tabletop role-playing is undoubtably exciting and surprising and can be good fun with friends, but whether it actually functions as a game is open for debate.

well instead of a fucking spastic argument about games in totality instead lets talk about video games. a visual novel is as much a video game as DOOM Eternal and that is because video games are interactive mediums to explore and understand within the mechanics allotted to the player. Sometimes that is through dialog, sometimes through exploration, sometimes shooty-shooty bang-bang. Understanding how your actions changes your place in the virtual world is how you learn how to "play" games - sometimes its learning how to master movement to get places, sometimes its learning about the world's scarcities and what exchanges are worth making, sometimes its learning what weapon enemies are weak to, or sometimes its learning where your anime waifu goes to after school hours.

They certainly imply skill don't they? In fact here's an interesting case study: in the early 20th century in the United States there were all sorts of major regulatory battles over pinball. Authorities considered them to be gambling and wanted them tightly regulated. Pinball manufacturers got around this by inventing the flippers and insisting that their machines were now games instead of pure gambling.

Don’t get me wrong. I love that game to death, a true diamond in the ruff. But the game lacked a lot of polish and I always feel that Troika intended to do much more with it but they lacked the time and resources to do so. Many maps just lacked npcs and make the extremely strong story and world underwhelming. For instance, the two only cities of the high and dark elves are somehow only as big as the first human town you encountered. Which just makes no sense because previously, throughout the game they’ve been orchestrating a huge continent wide conspiracy and sending thousands of assassins after you and your crew.

A lot of people were worried that a big privately owned gaming corporation wouldn't be able to do justice to the inherently anti-capitalist message of the Cyberpunk genre, well look who's laughing now! We have:

-Labor overworked and exploited, made to work under intense pressure and hours to most efficiently pump out the game as soon as possible because the executives wrote a check the dev team couldn't cash by dropping the announcement way too early

-Duplicitious marketing teams outright lying about a product with impunity, effectively fooling consumers into buying a product they wouldn't get with misleading advertising

-Similarly, the advertising aimed to create sort of a cult of personality around the game largely relying on the team's good reputation from the Witcher- this is a subtle point that a lot of you might not meet me on, but the purpose of the advertising wasn't to sell the game, but to capture the audience and appeal to one of the most degrading facets of late stage capitalism- Consumer Culture has almost taken over the identity of the modern individual, meaning we make an identity out of the media we consume, it becomes who we are instead of what we enjoy and subsumes our social relationships with the world around us- anyone who's ever been on Tinder knows this, it's really quite sad seeing people who can't think of anything to say about themselves except that they like The Office and one particular song.

-A product explicitly betraying it's own philosophy of 'it'll be ready when it's ready' because the corporate team no doubt wanted to squeeze it in 1. Before Christmas, and 2. Before the PS4 and XB1's life cycle was outmoded by the next gen of consoles. They knew it wasn't ready, but shipped it anyway because muh line.

It's quite funny that in this debacle, the game has made an amazing point about how thoroughly Capitalism corrupts, commodifies, and destroys art, and how the interests of the corporate bourgeoisie are inherently antithetical to the interests and creative vision of those who create it. However the fact is that Capitalism necessitates cooperation between those two in the creation of art, and like everything that's sold on a market, the interests of capital always win because they by definition have the money and the power to decide. And their financial interests come first, the integrity of the art is a distant second if even that.

Most poignantly of course this game paints this picture on the real life canvas of the gaming industry, but this process applies to all popular culture including movies, tv, and even sports. Everything original and creative will be captured, sanded down until nothing authentic remains, and spit back out as the corpos see fit. And it doesn't stop there, Capitalism in ALL ventures is fundamentally defined by a neverending, mindlessly destructive pursuit of acceleration and growth- this is a non-negotiable part of Capitalism, because that's literally what capital means, money that begets more money. Capital will always prefer to crunch their employees, shovel out the product before it's ideal release date, cut away all the rough edges that make something unique to appeal to the lowest common denominator, market their product as dazzlingly as possible, and treat both the worker and the consumer as numbers in an equation or cattle on the feed instead of people with interests as a class.

What is the message of Cyberpunk in this moment? Art is just another theater of the class war. Someone should make a game about that.

You're as good as one, being unpaid is even worse, how pathetic.
Let's pick just one thesis of your misrepresentations of original arguments, as picking them all is too much work for such a baby like you.
>i get killed when I stay stupid shit
The original argument does not complain about being "killed when I say stupid shit". See. the game was advertised as an RPG. A good example of which in recent years is Fallout New Vegas, where you are presented with branching dialogue with multiple choices leading to multiple ways to finish a quest, be it main or side. We see none of this here. The game only presents a single option for advancing the story thorugh dialogue, there are no choices to be made, when you are presented with some choice, there is only one right option, how is this good? It's lazy and uncreative. None of the events leading out to the ending matter at all because you literally pick the ending of your chosing after the final boss. Background of the character doesn't matter, the things he's done don't matter, the role playing part is non-existent. Such was the complaint that many users have, especially those that came genuinely expecting an RPG. Verstehen?
The rest of the greentext is just as much of a disingenuous handwaving as this. And you, apparently, didn't even play the game.

I said the politics are shallow, which they are. They could have made a believable story where characters are driven by reality, and disagree with me, and that would be fine, but instead they let an angsty 12 year old write the plot. You can even have a magic or fantasy elements that aren't real and the characters will still be good if they relate to real peoples needs and desires. Instead we got Ready Player One.

The game itself is empty as hell dude. Most of the world is lifeless with no attempt at an AI whatsoever, even the cars only go on the same path over and over like the Truman Show. The world failed to even keep up a facsimile of a living one, the physics is all over the place. And the gameplay is shallow compared to most RPGs with the level design made with only aesthetic in mind. Which is clear the moment you try anything other than shooting guns and melees, it just not fit for a social or stealth at all.
The characters are juvenile and the writing just shows the clear weaknesses of the devs when doing anything other than the clear cut adaptation like Witcher as in multiple points the story and role playing went in completely opposite directions. The story somehow managed to be even more barebones than Deux Ex Human Revolution which is a goddam shame.
You enjoying it doesn’t stop it from a shallow RPG with even more shallow political message.

I don't care about politics in games unless there's an explicit political message and the devs are trying to push a certain ideology at a deeper level than surface. In that case, there are two options: if the politics are based, then good; if the politics are shit, fuck that game.

It's pretty good if you play it like it's Cyberwitcher since so many of the systems feel like they're pulled straight from W3
that said, main plot is all over the place and feels like parts got cut, Johnny is flat out annoying to deal with and kills Act 2,
Act 1 feels the best by far even with limited where you can go in the city, they really should have done a rags to riches to ruin focus with the backdrop being Arasaka and Miltech getting ready for the 5th Corporate War

how linear is this game? do you think we will be able to eventually mod the game engine to the point of our custom police AI (with functioning chase/bounty system instead of random spawn) and new quests? I read this is CDPR's own engine so it might take a while for people to figure out how to work with it but think there are some salvageable assets in there right?

or should we just import shits back to GTA

Okay so, I finally got round to playing it, I'm not impressed to be honest. If we disregard the terrible technical issues, it's a 7/10 I guess. The people saying it has a good story must be smoking crack, it's the most hackneyed and generic shit I could imagine. As for the gameplay, yes it has a severe problem with bulletsponges and doesn't flow well as a shooter. As others have said the hacking interface really sucks too.

It is definitely anti capitalist but it falls into all the typical issues and hypocrisies of 'commodified resistance'. Oh, and yes, I agree with the other posters that the world feels very shallow and empty. There is pretty stuff to look at but not much depth.

I finished it a couple of days ago. I found the sidequests to be more engaging than the main story and I think I got the bad ending because it was just depressing and not in a genre-conforming, thought-provoking way.

You're right, after playing more, the bullet sponging is not as bad once you get past Act 1, but I don't see how you think that's fine. It really makes for some unpleasant gameplay. When you have to put hundreds of rounds into someone, that is not good gunplay. I also fought a cyberpsycho that was marked as 'moderate' difficulty and I was there shooting them for like ten minutes to take them down, using the awful dodging mechanics the whole time.

It's only crashed a few times which is a pleasant surprise, and loading is pretty fast, it's the slowdowns/lag that is the real issue.

Nowhere near the end yet but so far as I've played, most decisions don't mean much but there are some times where you do have the opportunity to either be nice or be a big asshole. I would hope that being good to your friends and people in general would give you good boy points towards a better ending but we'll see.

Also, from what I can tell, there is going to be a pro Arasaka ending, a destroy Arasaka ending, and an ending which is neither where you just fuck off on your own.

So I finished the game and tbh the ending was pretty mediocre, almost all endings are made to be bitter sweet with like a sad yet more grown up version and a happy yet pointless question, the guy who hoped that the game was more about becoming a legend itt really got his wish, it's weird cause you really don't change anything in the end, the only political ending is one but the choices remain the same pretty much, it's more about V as a character and way less about night city, it's funny cause the game did try to make you think you can defeat mega corporations but you don't, wtvr happens you just live your life but your choices only affect the few freinds you have

Polish gaming studio CD Projekt SA jumped after reassuring investors that a patch for its bug-ridden Cyberpunk 2077 would hit the market this month.

In a video and blog post late on Wednesday, the publisher said it would release a new update toward the end of January and then a second patch “in the weeks after.” It promised to delay future content for Cyberpunk 2077 as it focuses on fixing bugs.

CD Projekt advanced as much as 11% on Thursday, the most since March, and closed 6% higher as short positions in the stock narrowed. Still, the company has lost almost 40% of its value since December’s peak and Markit data shows that shorts had surged to a record 10% of outstanding shares this month.

“Shorting CD Projekt finally turned more difficult as borrowing the stock became costly, and short covering was expected to provide the first signal for the shares to rebound after the slump,” Pawel Sugalski, a fund manager at Rockbridge TFI SA, said by email.

He sees investors starting to buy the stock again on hopes that Cyberpunk will return to Sony’s PlayStation store soon after release of its next patch.
