I'll be all over a CE if it involves those E3 jackets. Apparently they're going to be making similar style jackets for purchase.

I have concerns dialogue wise. It is a little bit cringeworthy for me. Still going to be a day one purchase.

Basically every game that takes itself seriously and/or acts as some sort of social commentary (such as Cyberpunk 2077) inevitably ends up being a cringefest.

The most talented writers in the world aren't in the video game industry. I don't know why they try to kid themselves into thinking they can create something poignant, hard-hitting and memorable.

This game looks too 'cinematic' to me as well.

I think we can thank Roger Ebert for all this garbage. Every AAA title tries so hard to be considered a piece of art now that they just end up aping respected art forms such as cinema.

And as G Mus said, the theme is edgy to begin with. Now they've thrown in Keanu Reeves, it's obvious that they're just pandering to the reddit crowd who will gladly shill anything for free. Easy advertising and a smart move, I guess.

Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear Solid have been aping cinematic styles for decades. I am not sure AAA video games could exist without aping narrative cinema.

 

[dwwaino]

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

 

[Sterge]

we've gone 180 degrees and gone from cdpr can do no wrong no one will accept any s**t talking of them to, s**t talking cdpr and cyberpunk is the cool thing to do now.
The only edgelords are people trying to be cool 'oh i never liked cyberpunk y'all are shills'

Witcher 3 alone has sold over 20 million copies, I doubt they need 'free advertising' on Reddit

 

[nameless]

Haha, what genre doesn't have cringey elements?

Writing has never needed to be a strong point of games given the way you interact in this medium. Doesn't stop it from being a great experience.

There's certainly been a shift in how CDPR are promoting this game, they have extra funding, invested in a new marketing team and we'll be seeing a lot of promotions for this game.

Don't think they're catering to any one crowd, but Cyberpunk is a VERY niche genre so they're working hard to push it to the masses who've probably never interacted with the genre before.

Do these collectors editons ever increase in value?

Do these collectors editons ever increase in value?

Very rarely. Better off waiting until 12 months after the game has come out and someone will be selling it on eBay for less than half. (if you really wanted the statue).


Mainly Nintendo games hold their value the best.

On the whole I guess, but there are exceptions - TLOU and God of War come to mind, both took themselves very seriously and I found both poignant and memorable.

The commentary around this game is whats cringe, its really getting to ludicrous levels now. Its not gonna be the next coming of christ or re-define how the medium tackles body image or something, its not supposed to.

Its a ****ing video game (in all likelihood a really good one). Whole lotta people would do well to remind themselves of this.

Society is fast running out of real problems so we create new ones out of nothing. I hate to think of how offended people are going to get 20 years from now.

 

[dwwaino]

I think people are just bored or getting too caught up in the hype and want to talk about something. I'm not getting different vibes than I did from Blade Runner or Fifth Element.

The real problems are still there, it's just easier to manufacture new ones now thanks to social media. It used to just be "family groups" (aka church groups) who used to go all Helen Lovejoy in the media with some "won't someone think of the children?" type stuff, now any idiot can start that stuff, and platforms like Reddit that encourage bandwagoning don't help.

The main thing i learned today is that you can give your female character a cybernetic horse utensil in character creation

Classification board will already be picking out their best bonnets and tailcoats in preparation to review this one.

Would not surprise me in the slightest to see it banned

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

There is some really bad, shrill coverage about this game at this point.

I get the anti-SJW video is create your own clicks, but the outrage about outrage is way over the top at this point. The game is going to be awesome, and will give us a lot to talk about, but probably not from some YT creators.
