yeah it the primary thing driving my excitement for silkworm. the controls are already polished to a mirror shine so giving you a character that's even *more* mobile and acrobatic is going to be incredible

finished cyberpunk, actually really enjoyed it overall

compared to FO:NV, I think there were probably less bugs in terms of dialogue/character/quest triggers. the main bugs I saw were tons of whacky stuff related to vehicles (I got the "briefly naked t-pose while riding a motorcycle" one a couple of times) and HUD elements getting stuck onscreen sometimes. oh and enemy death animations being all messed up when you take them out with your hacking powers. The combat is definitely way better than FO3 or FO:NV but not amazing or anything.

car driving controls felt terrible, but the first motorcycle you get actually feels okay. I ended up kind of enjoying driving around between missions using that thing.

more environment detail than witcher 3 I think (been a few years since I played it), but I also feel like there were a lot less sidequests unless I missed a bunch. i thought most of the voice acting and writing was pretty decent except for johnny being a bad fit for keanu reeves and panam's bizarre awkward phrasing. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

panam skipped a lot of contractions and I was trying to figure out if that was stylistic, like maybe nomads speak other languages that dont use them, or if it's awkward writing

the best glitchy hacking animation is when you zap someone and they don't fall down until you walk close. so theres five people just hunching midaim as you pop through crates, then they whoop slip down like they stepped on a banana peel when you reach them

the coyote is the only car i like. otherwise it's the akira knockoff or jackies bike

I REALLY REALLY WANT AN MT-32 OR COMPATIBIBBLE OSRRY FOR SHOUTNIGN BUT THASTÄ IT.

Also I got to thinking, playing some ZX Santorum games, the Commodore 64 had a huge advantage in every way but the best thing about it was the sort of weird colour palette. I just love it. (And obviously the sound was better than on competitors but that goes without saying.) Those... is "muted" the word? Hues.

i was trying to figure out the same thing, but the other nomads don't really talk like that it it doesn't seem to suit the rest of the way she talks. I had a weird theory that maybe some of the lines went right from machine translation from polish straight to the recording booth without being checked or something

Mods please change my name to "Tooter Skeleton" TIA.


I'm at the last mission in cyberpunk but am doing a load of side stuff and there is some mad poo poo hidden behind some of the generic looking map quests. Like the guy with the grenade for a face, I have no idea what was going on there.

Also i haven't upgraded a tech rifle I got in like mission 3 and it still virtually 1 shots things through walls.

The driving is terrible though and I feel like the actual cyberware is just kind of dull because you dont/can't upgrade it much (unless you have loads of body) and have to go round every ripper in the city to actually see what's in stock.

i was curious and looked it up and that guy is apparently from a 90s brazilian cyberpunk fan site and a recent podcast series they run, so they pull bits like that from all over for flavor

not that it's terribly niche, but i like that some cigarettes are yeheyuans from gibsons sprawl stories, especially since theres no ads for them so its only something you'll find on a table or discarded as you're walking

The platforming looks insanely janky in that, it isn't at all clear what is and isn't something you can interact with. glad games have got better at this!

The glasses in bars etc. Are all the blade runner glasses I think. Or very similar without infringing.

which might mean the drinking animation is wrong actually because I have a pair and you can't drink out of the long edge because it's flat and you'll just spill it, you have to hold the glass at an angle and drink from the corner
