If the game breaks I will just pretend it's all a matrix simulation in my head canon

well, for me, i don't care if the story and gameplay are bad, or if the game shoots out of the playstation and hits my cat, as long as I can purchase and play it that's good enough for me

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:What days were those lol? I sure as hell can't think of any jankless times in gaming. The good old days when you just plugged the cart into the system and it just worked. Like Final Fantasy 6, where the evade stat doesn't do anything and Relm's Sketch can cause the entire game to crash and delete all of your data.

CottonWolf posted:No. But equally, if you complain about wine not being bread, you're not wrong, it's not, but it's also not a very useful criticism. The question is, are they finding bad on its own terms, or is it that they wanted the game to be something else entirely? I don't think that's what happening in the reviews I've read this evening - Vice, Polygon, etc - and it's also true that this apparently very narrow IP shares its name with an entire literary genre. I know people are griping about the lengthy intro to the Polygon article (which I think is understandable for a trans person to want to write), but the real meat of the review isn't that, but that it's a game that thinks it's genuinely cool and edgy but takes its source material from the actual 80's and so feels dated, clunky, and a bit racist, just like your dad. There's nothing stopping them using that setting in a smarter way. edit: not YOUR dad CottonWolf. I've never met your dad.

For the former it probably isn't immediately apparent and for the latter the game can be safely given a terrible review.

Dapper_Swindler posted:again. pondsmiths cyberpunk isnt gibson and co. its 2000AD but made by an american. critics don't seem to understand that. too each their own but the universe itself was never nuanced and much like shadowrun never had a storyline per say. Critics disappointed to find game is not Mamoru Oshii's Cyberpunk 2077

VanillaGorilla posted:Actually from the reviews I've read, it seems like the strong points are the same strong points from TW3 - good main characters, for the most part, and good main/side quest design. A lot of the world design and activities seem to have not evolved a lot from TW3. It's big and often pretty, but it's not necessarily a world that is good at being a living/breathing/dynamic place. thats sounds about right. people including me were expect a bigger jump in quest design, when they basicaly stuck to what worked, wish they had taken more risks but i could see them looking at biowares various risky ventures and saying "nah".

one thing that I'm getting from the more well-considered writing out there today is that the game is far less cynical than its marketing has made it out to be. I'm probably going to give it a shot because of that

(And to put my cards on the table, I'm both a fan of the IP and thought that the Polygon review was good.) In many ways, it sounds like CP2077 has made mistakes that the newest version of the tabletop game hasn't in how it's handled these issues, but I'll wait till I've played the game next year to make a full judgement on that.

One overall very positive review said the engine was seemingly already buckling under the strain of trying to keep up with the ambitions of the game as it was, making an even more elaborate quest structure would have probably literally set a PS4 on fire

My main concern is that the gunplay would be bad given that it's a new thing for CDPR but I've not seen anyone say that. Is gameplay good, bugs bad a good summary of the reviews so far?

If I can get 60fps+ with at 1440p with RT and DLSS, I'll be fine. This type of style needs proper reflections and global illumination. And my transparent PVC jacket and hotpants need to refract properly.

I’d much rather a story be future noir and heist fiction than some naval gazing rumination on the nature of man or identity or whatever some reviewers are complaining about. The latter sounds like a loving slog in a shooter rpg.

Turin Turambar posted:https://twitter.com/SkillUpYT/status/1335999302812925954 I initially thought that they were only blocking live streaming of the game until Wednesday, in order to stop leaked console play from popping up all over Twitch and Youtube. But not letting actual reviewers they sent advance copies to to use their own footage is hilarious. CDPR has zero faith in their own game.

I am not sure if Bioware's ventures and whatnot faced the problem that they became too ambitious. Rather, most people seem to wish Bioware stuck with what mostly worked.

The latter sounds like a loving slog in a shooter rpg. It has its place, I do like those kinds of themes in Deus Ex. But futuristic heist game sounds way more fun to me. At the end of the day I don't even care about the "nature of man" and all that crap, if I could replace my dumb fleshy body with cyborg parts today I would be on the waiting list immediately (assuming I could afford it  )
