I hope they show some gameplay footage. I think people are starved for information and bored, therefore they're jumping on dumb poo poo.

I don't think that guy speaks for literally every member of cd projekt red, but like, yeah, I do think whoever was at the controls of that PR account is probably a jackass? Why would working for a company that disagrees with him prevent him from being a shithead? And even if he didn't think it meant anything, it's not like just going 'oh popular meme' changes the meaning of the words. And also, it's not like there's some massive coalition of 'good people' on one side and 'bad people' on the other, it's totally possible to denounce gamergate and alt-right types and also hate trans people. Which, again, I am not accusing literally every member of cdpr of, but the one guy who typed that stupid meme into the word box? Yeah, maybe.

I'm not saying it's the worst crime ever visited upon that segment of society, just that it's a lovely thing to put out there and it probably made a lot of people feel crappy, especially people who put a lot of faith in CDPR, which, well, there are a lot of people who've put a lot of faith in CDPR. Deleting the tweet and issuing an apology is the extent of what CDPR can do at this point, really, but it isn't going to fix that change in perception. And again, I don't think every employee of CDPR or CDPR itself endorses that messaging at all, just that, well, someone with the keys to their PR account decided to make it look like they did.

I'm also not saying that CDPR should be burned to the ground, that any other employees should be insulted or fired or whatever besides the one guy who decided it was a good look. But people's frustration and annoyance and desire to just go 'gently caress it' is totally understandable.

They did tell them to gently caress off a few times in the past I think. In one of the waypoint articles they talked about how the game is inherently political.

People exist in the world and you can't separate these things, especially on twitter, from the times we live in.

Your "pretty popular meme" was always a transphobic attack, turning the other cheek and trying to tough it out has brought us to things like this:

These are adults talking about a twelve year old girl. These are people trying to defend their lives, you can't look at these statements in a vacuum.

I don't think internet memes have no real world effect or that they are separate, I think it's not fair to jump to the worst conclusions about cd projekt based on one incident that is most likely a misunderstanding (for which they should apologize since they clearly recognize it now the tweet is gone).

The nuclear option of 'not buying a video game'

I'm sorry to say but not buying a thing is the worst thing you can do to a company who wants you to buy a thing.

I imagine it was "as soon as someone with a brain noticed it".

Yeah but it's not like it really, hurts, anything. I would bet my life savings that this game turns an at least decent profit no matter what they decide to tweet or say about it. it's a big release by a big company with one of the most popular games of the past decade in their portfolio. And it will probably be a good game, but I doubt it'll be so good that someone who doesn't play it will be missing out on anything besides a good video game. It isn't going to be a transcendental experience that reshapes humanity's view of the world.

So if the company still makes a profit, and you can totally live your life not playing it, it doesn't hurt anything or anyone to go 'yeah, gently caress this,' and not buy it. So I'd really hesitate to call that a nuclear option or an extreme reaction. And even if the game doesn't turn a profit, somehow, it's not like that's a moral failing on your part for not buying it. Corporations aren't charities.

Poland is going through some weird poo poo right now, over night they’ve gone from a democratic country with fundamental human rights for all people to a religious oligarchy that actively encourages discrimination against people the State considers “undesirables.”

I don’t think it’s right condemn the company because one shithead felt embolden by local politics, the individual yes, but not the whole company.


Man, right off the bat, they have a lot pistol options, or at the least very a robust mod system that allows weapons look distinct from one another.

I’m guessing the guys in the first person perspective shot are probably maelstrom because nobody sane would do that to their face.

I’ve been looking to get kinda caught up on the original game, other than Madqueen Show and Outstar is there any good YouTube channels to follow, also any channel that shows the original game with people that aren’t really boring to watch, only the thing IGN (I think) did with Mike Pondsmith as GM has been amusing to watch.

I just hope the enemies aren't too spongey.

The division was a good idea but from what i hear they have damage numbers? End of the division put me off because it was just lumping round after round into a dudes head.

As insane as it would be i was hoping for the hyper lethality of the tabletop where 8 points of damage immediately crushed and destroys a limb and puts you into mortal wound shock.

It's a very odd system where you cant dump points into health, and every noc has the same track of health. The boss guy is tough because he has expensive armor that doesnt slow his reflexes or augs that make him stronger and the chipped skills to do kung fu all over you, but if you break his armor down a pistol to the head is just about as lethal as it would be to you.

Instead of a health bar it's a series of health stages, unharmed, wounded and impaired, and then like 5 different levels of dying differentiated by how dying you are.

It's very not videogamey
