Iymarra posted:As someone else has said, ACG was supposed to get review code but per his twitter, he has now been told that's not happening. He may cover it after release, but he's going to be looking at other games. And it isn't like they are 'filtering' reviewers that aren't positive to them, ACG gave his maximum recommendation to TW3.

On the subject of clickbait edginess, I added this article to the FAQ: https://www.pcgamer.com/theres-way-more-of-the-witcher-3-in-cyberpunk-2077-than-youve-been-told/ Not sure what CDPR (or whoever is in charge over it) are doing with the review codes. It feels like they're holding their cards way too close to their chest. Back Hack posted:I know everyone is joking around, but I hope everyone just drops making comments about the genital options, I've seen way too many thread devolve from being parody to being serious, aka every Bioware thread. Everything gets extremely creepy real fast after that. When people start hypothesizing about the taste of cyber-sweat we'll know we've gone too far. chaosapiant posted:I saw it brought up right before the last thread was closed, but Deus Ex Mankind Divided is an absolutely fantastic game, and probably overall the best Deus Ex game, at least mechanically. It annoyed me immensely at the time the way Square Enix just dropped the franchise, but yeah it's a pretty good Deus Ex. Bust Rodd posted:OP is really well designed and cool but can you wrap some of those images in [timg] tags please? They are so huge they dont fit on my gigantic monitor. Do they break the tables? Because that shouldn't be happening anymore (thanks Jeff). Pirate Jet posted:HEALTH is in it too, as the band Window Weather. caldrax posted:And Sophie, and some other names have been announced that I promptly forgot because I didn't recognize them.

I said come in! posted:It was my understanding that ResetEra is banning all discussion of this game? People were sharing in the last thread that they (resetera) actually hate this game because of a few things about it that they find offensively problematic. No some people on resetera want it banned from the board but most don’t care. It’s more like if every 4 or 3rd post was vorik but way more angry and weirdly personal. exquisite tea posted:Resetera is horrible for being every galaxy-brained take you've ever read on twitter about video games condensed into an internet forum, not exactly for being corporate shills. They are that too. Spuckuk posted:Honestly, same. People hyping this up to be some sort of all defining perfect gaming experience are on a Star Citizen level of self deception* I think it will be witcher 3 level but with deus ex type gameplay and some clunky stuff. coolusername posted:Oh that's exactly the sort of information I wanted about whether it was more Witcher 3 or more GTA.

Blue Raider posted:I’ve got 56gb of something CP77 on my Series X right now. I don’t know exactly what, but that’s way more than the nominal preorder download. Same here. I wonder if it’s a build all patched up, but I kind of doubt it, because wouldn’t that potentially lead to unintended problems as opposed to just applying the patches vs creating a new build and getting it certified? We know that at least for disc copies that there is a 43gb patch and a Day one patch. I have to imagine they’ve given those to reviewers or at least builds with them already applied. Edit: Apparently that 43 gb is a disc copying info. That said clearly journalists have some build with the day one patch as we’ve seen comments from people who haven’t been playing the comedy build.

Bust Rodd posted:lmao at people playing a stat based video game and complaining that their level 1 character with no skills or items is bad at stuff. i swear some of the whining is coming from folks who have never played video games. This sort of thing also happened with The Division games, where they combined rpg elements with an action shooter. People were angry that the enemies in the game were bullet sponges and you couldn't just one shot headshot everything. I think people see guns and immediately think in terms of FPS mechanics only. Also, kinda on the same topic, I see sniper rifles as a skill but most of the combat I've seen in any videos seems to be pretty close range. Wondering if there's any use for long range rifles.

To be fair, Division‘s enemies ARE bullet sponge-y to extreme, even by looter games standards. On top of the devs caving to the chuds by balancing the whole game around a couple min/maxed gimmicks builds to point using anything else makes the game the game an unfun slog.

There's a LOT of misinformation bouncing around about this game now as people get desperate for clicks. I've seen 2 websites with information on "Cyberpunk 2077 Classes" (there are no classes in this game) coolusername posted:No, what I want IS it to be like, a modern Witcher iii The advertising is NOT saying that, so If you're constantly hearing that maybe reconsider who your friends are? Literally none of CDPR's trailers have talked about sexy tits and rear end. Zero. There's been like 10 trailers. Yes, lots of people online are talking about tits and rear end, but they're also going for clickbait and sex is scandalous. Spuckuk posted:Honestly, same. People hyping this up to be some sort of all defining perfect gaming experience are on a Star Citizen level of self deception* Has anybody in this thread or the previous thread suggested anything like this? It seems like a pointless strawman and yet we keep talking about it over and over. Lets just, stop worrying about some fictional gamer that may not even exist?

NumptyScrub posted:There are different weapon mod types: This is mostly right, but I don't think you'll be able to mod a Power Weapon into a Tech weapon, they're fundamentally different. Its more like you find a Tech Pistol and mod it to have Ricochet bullets, or you sell it and buy a Power Pistol and then mod it to have armor piercing bullets.

Does (light attribute spoilers mb not even a real spoiler but jic) "Blades" up katana damage or just mantis blade damage? Is it melee damage that makes katanas better? Or does "Blades" and "Melee" affect katana damage in different ways? Is this even known? I've been avoiding spoilers like the plague but I'm trying to get my build planning out of the way

Turin Turambar posted:Do you consider The Witcher 3 a Cheeto-dusted neckbeard gamer oriented game? I mean, speaking for myself: yes. It's aimed at the same audience as W1 and 2 except that audience is getting older and, despite all efforts to the contrary, actually procreating. It's a different take on the outcast power fantasy, except this time instead of being a gruff-voiced dour outcast who gets to kill monsters and sleep with big-breasted powerful sorceresses, you're a gruff-voiced dour outcast who gets to kill monsters and sleep with big-breasted powerful sorceresses while trying to find his daughter. There's a reason 'bad witcher dads' is a meme in the thread. It's a good game with some good parts and a great look at Eastern European mythology in fiction, but at a character or story level, it didn't say anything new.

Dapper_Swindler posted:https://streamable.com/3jprvx This looks really good. I do kinda wish V was un-voiced so we could have a ton more dialogue options. Even the illusion of choice is better than no choice at all. Some situations in Cyberpunk 2077 definitely seem to give you a lot of dialogue options (some based on your skills) but it does seems like other times you get the Mass Effect / Fallout style "do you say yes, no, or sarcastic yes?" which I'm rather not fond of in RPGs. I guess Disco Elysium's writing has just ruined other RPGs for me in a way

cheesetriangles posted:Someone leak a fem V and male partner sex scene to balance things out. leak fem V banging male V, you cowards  sean10mm posted:You're being wierdly literal, a bunch of the promotional material has featured footage of doing shots, taking pills and what looks like scenes in a strip club. Yeah, the marketing has very much been "Future GTA feat. Keanu Reeves" and I totally get that: they are trying to sell more copies than Witcher 3. They are taking a run at massive, established AAA-studios that have, ironically, been trying to copy CDPR's games for years...CDPR trying to poach some of those players from the Rockstar/Ubisoft machine is the easiest way to grow their own numbers. If that demographic is then surprised by a game that is actually good, well: GOTY.  Also, for the PC/Console crowd: looks like you'd need a 2070S or 2080 to match settings on a PS5. Not a 1:1 comparison, and it may get better after the optimization patch next year, but a good guage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9LgfTr517c

I don't know, looking at reviews like https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ga...e/1100-6484602/ where it talks about how there's tits everywhere, etc. If it's all just going to be male gazey edgy bullshit like that appealing to the thirsty Cheeto-dusted neckbeard gamer demographic I'm not going to be able to enjoy it. Which really sucks. I'm hoping it's not actually as bad as it seems? Did you not even read all of the article you bring up here? Even putting aside that the article itself is specifically about the sex things in the game, there are parts that are pretty extremely not male gaze bullshit pointed out within that article.
