Man Quiet is pretty cringe worthy and I wish she wasn't designed like that

Ah ha but you see there's actually an elaborate reason why she is half naked always and when you find out you will be ashamed!!!

I’m struggling to decide which life path I want to take.

I’m leaning corpo because I feel like I’ll know my way around the “big deal” stuff that happens in the universe. If the corps run everything then its kinda cool to feel like you’re one of the elite with all the special knowledge and connections.

But on the flip side I’ve also debated if I want to be a street kid or a nomad.

Street kid because I want to be some down and out nobody who makes a name for themselves and forces everyone to pay attention. But if this is just a cyberpunk version of a generic GTA character then maybe it’s not that appealing to me.

Nomad... well as a nomad I guess I’m free of all the baggage and drama that comes with being in night city. I just don’t like the biker style. I wanna go in on this looking like some hardcore operator type or like Die Antwoord built my character. Not really a fan of the biker look. I’m guessing aesthetics are more your choice than a life path thing given all the clothing you can get.

Nomads are not really bikers and more of Mad Max commies.

Endorph, I think your seeing malice where it doesnt exist. A cisgendered layman like myself assumed this game was basically going for gold standard trans representation by letting you literally make a trans character. I assume the devs thought they were doing it right too.

Your voice is tied to the pronouns used and all sex related animations are tied to gender option not genitalia.

So its not really a gold standard by even industry standards

So the issue is they didn't have a warning screen essentially.

Fair enough

That and the epilepsy is not all or nothing. Some people can play games just fine and still can have siezures induced in a medical setting. For whatever reason they decided to include something very similar to the method used to induce siezures and did not give a warning before doing so.

Are there not a lot more female sex workers than male? I'm pretty sure presenting sex work as being an equally big problem for both sexes would dramatically undercut how this is a immense problem for women in the world, and thus be an colonization of women problems for the benefit of the woke gamer, fetishizing their own eagerness for equality on the expense by the wast majority of trafficking and sex workers who are, by an enormous majority, female.

If the game is supposed to be a warning about capitalism comodifying everything male sex workers become more common because in fifty years the stigma dissppears and capital still needs it's cut.

I still think its not only normal, but moral, to acknowledge that normalization and comodifying sex work will inn all likelihood impact one gender more than the other.

Yes in our current society not in one fifty years in the future. This isn't even a relavent point because that is absolutely not why there aren't male sex workers considering the in game ads

The only thing that is a consistent theme with the nomads is they like to bang on about solidarity.

They literally compare the Mox to nomads in the gang trailer.

What I don't understand about that footage isn't the empty streets or horrendous vehicle physics. What I don't understand is why every dumb rear end in a top hat who has bothered to stream this game doesn't do anything. Eight minutes and all that guy did was drive in circles and put markers on his map that he immediately drives in the opposite direction of. There's dozens of icons on the map, go to one of them and do something!

Usually people who stream big games early are more interested in trying to launch a streaming career off the game they're playing rather than interested in showing off the game.

I smell clickbait bullshit.

Firstly why the hell would a major game publishing company risk, or even consider putting a intentional epilepsy trigger in their game like the random internet writer has claimed. I doupt they would want to get sued into oblivion....

How many millions of people have purchased this game? If even a small percentage players are epileptic considering the sample size it could be a major problem. However it is only the experiences of one person on a medium renowned for being full of bullshit, bullshit engineered to promote clicks to bombarded you with loving ads?

Why is this being accepted as gospel? What does the mob know that I do not?

Are people being sarcastic? Are they piling on to fit in? Are they that gullible? I don't know anymore...

The more I play the more I want the world design to resemble the hub structure from Mass Effect 2, where you had a few large-ish free roam locations that all connected to the most important main plot and character missions.

Hard disagree. The city is one of the few things done extremely well and I'd have returned this pile in a heartbeat with a hub world system. They needed to decide early on what they wanted this game to be and it's extremely clear that design was pretty in flux even just a year ago.

The game suffers from tremendous design problems that will not be solved by patches. Had the city not been as well designed as it is this game would just be outerworlds 2077

exquisite tea posted:

Just finished the Aldecaldos arc, the high-tower assault on Mikoshi with Judy, and what I'm assuming is the final Takemura quest all in a row. These were all awesome story missions, well-crafted with what would seem to be some interesting choices later on down the line. Just kind of hoping for some kind of midgame payoff so that I know I'm not casting dialogue choices into the void.

The one thing that this game does very well and also very bad in a way is that your game choices do pay off. Me killing some dork in a random fixer gig gave me a dialogue option in a story mission for instance. The game will just absolutely never tell you when it will pay off.

I'll bite, what are these "tremendous design problems"?

Anything relating to cars, from the physics, to the fact there is literally no driving AI in anyway to the fact that for whatever reason of nearly two decades of open world games doing this the minimap does not zoom out when you are driving at speed.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:

Most of this seems like it can be improved in patches though. I don't know how many improvements to really expect, but I don't see why they couldn't improve the driving mechanics some, or make the minimap zoom out when going fast (something I do agree they should do)

Driving AI cannot be fixed. If it's not in it will not ever be in. The Ai for combat is similarly garbage and the pedestrians can barely pathfind.

Sedisp

There is no ai for driving. They are completely on rails and have no ability to move out of the way of an obstacle. Hence why cops do not chase you in cars and why you can block a car and they will stay stuck eternally. That is not something you can fix with a patch.

I guess I'll take this one - why couldn't they be fixed with a patch?

Slimy Hog posted:

No my "what" was about your incorrect claim that driving AI is somehow set in stone.


I mean I guess it's possible they add in a feature but depending on how much spaghetti is in the game there's a really good chance that putting it in breaks five different things. I guess it's more accurate to say if they don't have a feature that ubisoft open world cut and pastes have they probably couldn't get it working that easily and it is highly unlikely that will ever be a priority for this game.



Au Revoir Shosanna posted:

that doesn't seem correct and also it's not like traffic ai is a big part of the game in any way at all?

Driving and immersion is a big part of the game, cars not being able to move out of the way is a pretty big immersion killer. Knowing I will never be chased by anything not on foot or floating drone is a worse one.
