I just had a premonition that CDPR are going to release CP2077 during E3 in the manner of showing off a cool new trailer which ends with the words "Release date... Out Now" Am I demented?

At the end of the day, they're in the enviable position that no matter what they do, however they launch, whatever plan they use or whatever fuckup happens, it won't matter because the game will be an instant platinum hit either way. I suppose that's why I was thinking "wouldn't it be cool if..." because this is one of the few cases where they could do it and it wouldn't matter.Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:...but if you think their marketing department isn't chomping at the bit to justify their budgets, welp... Pulling an "out now" stunt would provide an avenue to cut marketing costs. They only need a bare minimum anyway because the Hype is already at fever pitch right now from what, 3 or 4 trailers and videos? If they have anything near the quality level of The Witcher 3 on their hands the internet and word of mouth will market the game all by itself. I mean, I know really that it's not going to happen, it's just a cool "imagine if they did that" scenario, for such a huge game.

Yeah I generally have and follow my rules of "never preorder" and especially after No Man's Sky: "never buy into hype", but I've loved all three of the Witcher games and I like CDPR's business practices enough (what I've seen anyway - I'm sure someone could probably disabuse me of that by dredging something up but please don't, I have to believe there is some good in the world) that I don't mind breaking those rules for this game based on their proven track record. I'm planning on upgrading my PC for this game. I've been meaning to do it for about two years now and have been putting it off, so having this downloaded and ready to go on launch day on a newly upgraded system is something I'm quietly looking forward to. Plus being able to take part in all the week one discussion about the game at the same time everyone else is discovering it, which is something I rarely get to do since I usually wait for the first sale on most of the games I want to buy. Unless they happen to come out around payday and I'm drunk at my desk...

I think pre-ordering is like lots of things that you know you generally shouldn't do, which have good, well-established reasons why you shouldn't do them. It's okay to make an exception every once in a while for reasons that are to you, in that particular case, good reasons. As any veteran player of CDPR works will know, it's never black and white.

El_Elegante posted:Sounds like a compelling reason to play on an easy difficulty. No, disagree. Play on Death March right from the start. That first ghoul fight might kick your rear end a few times (I did it after 10 or so attempts), but once you've learned when to dodge and when to roll in that fight - which that difficulty setting will absolutely force you to do in order to win the fight - you'll be set for the rest of the game and even Death March gets too easy at some point. I say this as someone that hasn't yet done the DLCs. I hear they tweaked the difficulty to actually make the highest one as grueling as it should probably be expected to be. Cyberpunk will... or might... be cooler than Silksong. Argh then again... poo poo now I'm torn. They better not come out at the same time is all I can say.

I'd be happy with a city that's the area of an early GTA game like vice city, if having that is a tradeoff for literally every single building and skyscraper being fully explorable and unique. I'd rather that than a massive city full of blocks covered with beautiful textures of doors and storefronts you cant enter, with only story based locations having any depth to them like in GTA V.

ItBreathes posted:Remember every game you got super hyped for, and then it was a video game when it came out? Expect that. I'm waiting, waiting patiently for the game that comes out and breaks this concept over its knee. It hasn't happened yet, and I don't even think we're close. But one day, processing power will be ample enough, optimisation techniques will be efficient enough and the library of past games, mechanics and shared knowledge will have evolved enough to make it possible. CDPR are one of the devs right now taking the biggest steps toward this, so good for them.

chitoryu12 posted:Does anyone really want to play Cyberpunk 2077 for anything except the experience of finally having your 90s tabletop groups' experiences replicated in HD? I think you may perhaps have an inflated sense of how many people have actually had tabletop roleplaying experience. It's a vanishingly small amount of people. Relatively.  It's something I would've loved to have done but there was literally nobody in school that would have even known what it was, let alone gone along with giving it a try. Consider yourself lucky and privileged to have had peers of a like mind.

Bust Rodd posted:I sure wish video games didn’t make people so mad They don't though. The vast majority of the outrage in these situations is put on, and even if it wasn't the best thing anyone can do is to completely ignore it. Like, don't even dignify it with ANY kind of response, and make this one of those unwritten agreements that everyone in the industry agrees is how they'll deal with these kinds of manufactured twitter-storms in future. It's a pipe dream I know but wouldn't it be nice.

I'm extremely disappointed that no-one has addressed the most important question about this game: will you be able to roast a marshmallow and will you have full control over the roasting process? The bar for GOTY content has been raised and we need to know if CDPR are going to be responsive to this.

Zaphod42 posted:Lots of gamers really want a game to come out and give them The Matrix so their lives suddenly have new meaning. For me, overhyping myself for a game is not this. Meaning in my life is not something I'm chasing by playing games, that would be ludicrous. Every now and then, a game comes out that sucks me in and grabs me, and I either immediately or slowly realise as I'm playing it that "wow, this is the next iteration - nothing I've played has done this before/done this this well before". It happened when I first played Doom on a 386, after growing up on Amstrad cpc games, then I played the very first Tomb Raider on the PS1 and I got that feeling again. And then again when Voodoo GPUs came out along with Half Life and Unreal, and yet again with Half life 2 and the physics engine they had invented. It's happened less and less as technology innovation has slowed and I've gotten older, but some other notable mentions were when I played the first 3D GTA, when I created that very first Minecraft world, when I first logged into WoW and began exploring that world with other people, the Nemesis System from SoM (which no-one seems to have taken and done anything with so far, which is a shame), and most recently, while playing Subnautica, Hollow Knight, and the Witcher 3. All of these titles gave my that feeling that I'm playing something special because they either did something I had never encountered before in a game, or they refined something or pulled together disparate elements of gameplay and/or storytelling in an exceptional way. Other games may have tried prior to that and for whatever reason had not got it quite right. That's what I'm hoping for when I allow myself to get hyped for a game, and after the No Man's Sky debacle where I thoroughly and shamelessly allowed myself to get sucked into the hype cycle and the inevitable disappointment that followed, I reserve that for people with proven track records now y'know, like these guys. So yeah I'm hyped up, but I know it's just a videogame. What I'm hoping it does (with a reasonable amount faith because I've literally seen these people do this before) is that CP2077 pushes something about how videogames work, or how they present their stories or something I haven't even thought of yet, into raising-the-bar territory, to suck me in and give me the feeling that I'm playing something exceptional, something that is the latest iteration of how cool and fun a videogame can be. That's what I'm chasing and IMO that's a reasonable thing to desire, and it's why this game is second only to SilkSong on my wishlist. Lol so many words about videogames oh well who cares

Zaphod42 posted:I care, Cactus! I read it all Oh poo poo I forgot Portal that definitely is on my list! I'm expecting the same from CP2077 as I got from Witcher 3. Witcher 3 wasn't special because it did anything no-one had done. Everything in that game can be found in other games preceding it. Some games have stories as well-written and voice-acted, but they're quite small and focused. Other games have much bigger worlds than it, but they feel sterile and the stories fragmented. Some games have better fighting systems and graphics, but their story sucks rear end and they're over in 5 hours. What the Witcher 3 did that I hadn't seen done before is have all of these things in the same game, all executed really well and fitting together. If CP2077 does exactly what TW3 did but use the experience gained from making TW3 to make it even more refined and improved, then yeah that's exactly what I'm looking for.

One improvement I hope they make to the game over the others they've done is finding a way to have less instances of performing an action and suddenly seeing the "X quest abandoned" message pop up on the screen. I know it happens anyway as you make choices, you lock yourself out of some content because that's the inherant nature of branching story paths, but I really dislike the feeling it gives me when it makes it as explicit and gamey as that.

Alchenar posted:So having completed my re-run, I was struck by how every mission area is literally about 3 rooms. It's not just the game as a whole that's tiny - every individual component is tiny as well. That kinda actually sounds refreshing. The number of games I've played that I never finished due to their size I'd estimate to be in the mid-90% range. These days I like smaller, more compact focused experiences (e.g. outer wilds rn) rather than these sprawling vast open worlds with a thousand sidequests and collectibles that take hours to slog through.

The only solution is to become a Gate Keeper and make all the new people feel unwelcome for not paying their dues by not having been fans before it was cool. It's the only way they'll know their place.

I tried to get back into my witcher 3 game the other day, which I left about a year ago having completed the main campaign. I couldn't remember anything and the first fight I got into where I had to fight a group of soldiers while investigating a murder in one of the first hearts of stone quests absolutely kicked my arse, repeatedly. I'd got tonnes of stuff in my inventory I have no idea why I was keeping, I couldn't remember how the skills potions and signs work, or anything about any of the threads of the stories and quests I have in my questbook and I'll be hosed if I can be bothered to play through the whole game again. On top of that I'm fighting against recent muscle memory of Assasin's Creed and Switch Warframe gamepad controls so was constantly pressing the wrong buttons on stuff. The entire experience was miserable so I turned it off. It's a shame really, because I was hoping to get through the DLCs before cyberblyat comes out and it looks like it'll be years and years until I see them now, if at all. Gonna have to completely forget that game before I ever pick it up again.

Yesssss this is great news, for me anyway.Bust Rodd posted:Yeah this is another six months for me to rebuild my PC and get the specs up to snuff frajaq posted:honestly this is the upside of this for me lol Same. I was forced into an earlier than planned upgrade late last year when my motherboard conked out, and now I've replaced everything except my 970. This delay will ensure the remainder of that is paid off, and I'll have enough time to save up for and splurge a naughty amount of cash on whatever the successor to the 2080ti ends up being. I was worried that I was going to have to make a decision between waiting for that so as not to buy the overpriced flagship card late in the gen, or wait on playing this game (which was never going to happen.) I wanna play this with raytracing on at a gazillion frames per second - and I'm sure CDPR want us to as well. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if we were to learn that they have been in talks with Nvidia, Msoft & Sony et al and that this is entirely a business decision to everyones mutual benefit rather than a state-of-the-game type decision. That is not to say the extra time to polish and tweak will not be put to good use but also, hopefully, a bunch of devs are going home at 5pm every night over the next six to eight months. Gonna start my Witcher 3 replay soon
