The number of people who are already upset by this game who will still purchase the game and play it so that they can complain about it, is going to be a lot, I think.

There's equally exploitative ads about heterosexuals and that's a main part of literally the main theme and message of the game

If you're so sure of that, why are you getting the game?

Games can have flaws and be good games I know this is heterodoxy for some of the thread regulars but I believe in my heart of heart for this to be possible.

my take on it is that content existing doesn't mean the developers are endorsing that point of view

like GTA games have some legitimately terrible poo poo, its kind of hard to portray a lovely hosed up world without problematic themes

i guess it depends on whether you believe they were trying to make a joke at the expense of trans people, or trying to create stuff that fits in the world

kinda reminds me of poo poo like this personally

https://twitter.com/TheEpicDept/status/1333864567877881856

these people are dumb loving dipshits and while cultural criticism is cool and good, we need to gate keep that poo poo. like as a history major, everyone i sorta like in history(majority have been dead for at least half a century) are problamtic at best by todays standards on some level. same with books from long dead authors. outside JK rowling gently caress that rear end in a top hat.

also the thread there is back. mods basicaly will have some message in the OT saying that CDPR has issues(which is reasonable) and some people got probed and temp banned,.


Wolfsheim posted:

Hoping this impacts CDPR just as much as the several articles about the GTAV torture sequence affected Rockstar

whats funny about that scene is the whole torture scene proves it doesn't work. no matter how long you do it, everyone at the house is innocent and its just the not CIA or whatever trying to justfy some gently caress up they did or whatever. like yeah its still gross as gently caress and i think 4 is better than 5 but lol.

i mean. its clear the world is a rotten hellscape and poo poo. like yeah its gross but its supposed to be gross and i am pretty sure the artist is LGBTQ. so idk. i am guessing transgender folks are just accepted in cyberpunk because its corpo hellscape that believes everyone can be exploited equally and in extreame ways. idk whatever.

Funny thing about the torture sequence is showing it was hosed up...because goddamn Trevor was bugged by it. If something bothers Trevor then you know it’s pretty hosed up or it’s related to a meth deal going wrong.

the whole setting is about how lovely capitalism is. you don't need Johnny Silveraces to turn a chair around and sit in it backwards and say directly to the PC, "hey gang, we have a lot of fun around here, but the reason this exploitative ad is here is because it's an example of how capitalism exploits people and identities to sell products. it's bad actually"

Note: the last thing I want this to come off as is "why are people upset about this?" because there are valid arguments for why it's offensive and there's no need to silence any irl trans voices who feel strongly about it.

This is a wild way to take "the struggles of this community will not be addressed in any shape way or form" clearly the only way to do this is to look at the camera and say transphobia is bad.

The only person I know of, referenced in this thread at least, who finished the game beelined the main quest and engaged in minimal side content. Perhaps what you're looking for is off the beaten path? We won't know until we actually get to play the game ourselves instead of vicariously through other people and, arguably, their agendas.

Honestly it’s kind of shocking that a game that could be construed to be Anti-Capitalists would come from Poland of all places. I wouldn’t be shocked if there isn’t also critiques of socialism/Marxism. That I guess beyond Nomads...does anything akin to that even still exist in the CP2077* world?

its the same poo poo plus them stretching poo poo about the voodoo boys when they actuall speak real haitian creole and are played by hatian actors and such, some of this feels really streatchy at times and i am someone who does agree that CDPR probably does need to do better with stuff but folks acting like the voice-gender thing is a clear showing of them being alt right chuds seems dumb to me, like it sucks but most people don't know the ins and outs of being a trans person, i sure as hell don't and i doubt a billion dollar game does either fully. do i think they should have way more LGBTQ consultants and poo poo. sure. but i dont think that folks and CDPR are rubbing their hands together and laughing at the thought of a trans person being sad/distressed over the game.

no. nomads sorta probably know about marxism and philosophies/etc in general because they still have actual schools and beliefs. cyberpunk is basicaly 2000AD universe but they pump up the consumerism/tone some stuff down and its less about facist goverment and more about corpos ruling everything. i think pondsmith is pretty lefty in general so i think he has some overview of it.

The pistol tree someone posted looks interesting. It seems like rifle/sniper is all about crouching/cover shooting while handguns are the run and gun option. You can fire on the move better, dodge, and can get temporary defense buffs. Presumably the shotun/lmg tree on Body is also run and gun but maybe it's shotgun for moving and lmg for firing from cover.

Is there an explicit cover system?
