My first playthrough will be a Street Kid Male V with an interest in whatever The Voodoo Boys has going on and possibly screwing over Johnny Mnemonic in the process. The main goal?? Try to go "Deep Diving" past Brigitte's "Network Wall" ( ͝סּ ͜ʖ͡סּ)

My Playstyle?? Honestly, I don't even know. As long I can hack a little bit AND rage with a Samurai Sword.

 

[killatopak]

Holy shit I just remembered how many gangs are in this and how many permutations the life path can offer. Possibly my most replayed game if they nail the game.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Can you feel it?

Can you touch it?

 

[Kadayi]

You know how it is. If it ain't Sony First Party or a Kojima Production...it's clearly trash. I've already been assured in another thread that 2021s GOTY will be either the HZD sequel or GoW2 without even a frame of footage seen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sure, after I kill her.

Lol either you’re that douchebag from Era who made that post, or you’re actually disappointed in this (equally embarrassing) or you’re shitting on those lame impressions and this is comedy gold. I really hope it’s the latter

Hey, Stools (and chairs) are like Pokemon, gotta sit on them all.

 

[Terenty]

Retard Era Cyberpunk thread is a sight to behold truly lol. Literal madhouse.

Ten posts about trans problems and how they are killed every day by cis, then one post about the game, then ten posts about trans rights, then someone(soon to be banned no doubt) wonders why the fuck they are talkin about this shit, then ten posts about Cdpr being transphobic murderers, then someone says something about Xbox footage and on it goes...

Anyone, please put them out of their misery already lol

 

[killatopak]

I thought they already had a separate thread for their issues with the game concerning its nature.

They should just let an OT be an actual OT.

Sounds like the biggest thread derail.

 

[balls of snow]

Watching the gangs trailers..yeah, the main quest may be 30 hours ish but I bet every single gang has their lenghty questline and diverging outcomes depending on who you trust and cross. And everyone of them will have a keanu commentary.

We've got a dedicated Era thread over in the community sub. A lot of people discussing the goings-on there.

Yeah, there's a metric tonne of side quests just like the Witcher 3 apparently, and I expect quite a lot of involved ones. Very interested in the whole V Johnny Dynamic. I'm going female V because I imagine that has to have an impact on matters some as well.

GaviotaGrande

Give me Corpo or give me death

 

[DZ_b_EZ]

My 2nd playthrough will consist of a Corpo Female V where I get in good with the Tiger Claws and Arasaka.
The main goal?? Finding some true, intimate connection within the interconnected world Night City.

The playstyle?? Probably Solo/Techie, if I can.

 

[RyRy93]

Hoping my Pro with an SSD is enough for a stable frame-rate, decent res and no major pop-in issues. Will definitely replay this on the PS5.

I hope approach to gangs is somewhat similar to factions in Fallout: New Vegas. It wasn't perfect as game was rushed and completed in 18 months but it was a step in the right direction.

 

[Vow of Silence]

I'm translating this as "wasn't really happy with the game while playing" (no stools to sit on) and "at the end, he said wow" (they saved the stool for last).

I don’t understand the stool thing. I have seen footage of V sitting down on a stool next to Jackie in a bar.

Help me understand.

 

[Kadayi]

I don’t understand the stool thing. I have seen footage of V sitting down on a stool next to Jackie in a bar.

Time to Stool is the new metric, time to crate is yesterday.

It's the new benchmark for immersion. Is there a stool in a game? Yes. Can I sit on it? No. This game is a trashfire. Sharp knees would not bang.

I guess maybe it was that V is allowed to sit on that stool.....but not that other one over there in the corner or some such, and I mean if there's a stool in the corner...well you can't pass that up, can you? That's begging for some virtual ass. isn't it.?

 

[Dampf]

We should put the console free roaming footage and stuff here. I'm interested to see how the game looks on the old consoles, but I don't want to get into the spoiler thread in the risk of getting real story spoilers.

Not all stools are sittable?

 

[Isendurl]

You do know CDPR didn’t do the Switch version?

Maybe not directly, but they sure as shit were helping Saber Interactive with the port, also they had to optimize that engine a lot before they even started to thing about porting it to Switch.

I can 100% say there are more “spoilers” in this OT thread than the spoiler thread. There are 0% story spoilers in that thread. Feel free to hop in and look at a few, very few leaked footage videos. Absolutely spoiler free. No, I’m not kidding.

To some, seeing the raw gameplay footage of city exploration is a bigger spoiler than some story cut-scenes. I know it's for me.

If seeing what we saw already from CDPR is a spoiler, then yes. It’s spoilers. But for me it’s not. We’ve seen it for 2+ years, only this time it’s amateur footage and not edited for trailers

This can’t be debated

had someone ONLY been in the spoiler thread vs someone who’s ONLY been in this thread....

they’d know 100% more about the story and premise from THIS thread than the “spoiler“ thread.

That cant be denied.

Had someone never been here and only there, they’d know 0% of what’s going on within the game. They’d simply see off camera footage for a minute of a video game and nothing more

Well what can I say. Enjoy your raw gameplay videos. I don't what to see them.

I don't want to see the entire character creation screen and process.

I don't want to see how menus are looking like.

I don't want to see how just walking down the street and peeking in random alleyways is like.

...

+ million other small things that are easily spoiled by raw gameplay. I want to experience all that for the first time while playing in few days time.

Totally acceptable. But factually you’ve seen more from CDPR in this thread in 2+ years.

 

[killatopak]

You know you can just use the spoiler function if it’s really that much of an issue.

Well at least clearly define what was in it so people don’t just mindlessly click on it. You can do since a video footage may be spoiler to some.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

No, I haven't. I was very selective in what to watch and what to ignore. I know almost nothing about what's possible and what's not in terms of gameplay systems etc. Discovering this stuff is always super fun for me.

Yes, I know some story bits but nothing more than you would find out from the short summary at the back of a game retail box.

3.5 days left!

Indeed. It's some footage and then Doom Patrol mainly bitching about how terrible it looks, games a bust, 8 years, sharp knees would not bang etc...because they have no joy in their hearts

I’m simply saying this thread vs the “spoiler” one

If someone read every post HERE... they’d see far more than the “spoiler” thread.

 

[Maddux4164]

Yep. It’s 10 pages of “there isn’t enough crowd density” and maybe 4 videos lasting seconds each. Worst “spoiler” thread ever

 

[TintoConCasera]

Or maybe there is people with no eyes on their faces.

The game will probably be good, but man, have you seen all the leaked bugs and glitches? Are you not just a little bit concerned about it?

It's not hating, it's fair criticism.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Maybe not directly, but they sure as shit were helping Saber Interactive with the port, also they had to optimize that engine a lot before they even started to thing about porting it to Switch.

yeah i know all that but CDPR is doing all versions of Cyberpunk themselves. it's not the same thing is it?

 

[GaviotaGrande]

On a positive note: I just bought Cyberpunk 2077 from GOG.com for a full price.

This is the first time ever that I "pre-order" a game. I already own in on Xbox as it was bundled with limited edition of One X.

Feels good.

Why? Does it come with any goodies?

There are some wallpapers, posters etc. plus you get a 30% off voucher for CDPR gear store. I'm not that interested in that stuff, I just wanted to give CDPR my money.

[Kadayi]

Some of the recent stuff seems to dispel that myth. As one of the Steamers said 'The density varies a lot depending on if there is merchants or time of day. Not a ton of NPC's in areas with less businesses. (similar to real life) ' which honestly ties in with what CDP have said all along (and the shopping district was pretty busy). The ebb and flow of activity in a city varies a lot. Not everywhere is going to be a hubbub of activity even during the day, and certainly less so at night. Still, people see what they want to see, and for a few folks who whatever reason, have been 'it ain't all that' about the game for years are looking for things to confirm their biases. Whereas everyone else is just counting down the days.

The game will probably be good, but man, have you seen all the leaked bugs and glitches? Are you not just a little bit concerned about it?

Everyone knows there's a big Day 1 patch coming which will largely overwrite/update a lot of things, and it's always the case that performance and polish are done towards the end of development. In large part because pretty much the bulk of the dev team will have been playing through the game themselves and highlighting issues that QA might have missed. However, that Day 1 patch is still yet to be implemented. Post patch I'd expect to see significant improvements.

With that said, will there be bugs at release? Sure in a game of this size and scope, there's always going to be things that slip through the cracks as with most titles (post-launch updates and support are a given with most games) but the idea that it's going to be this unplayable glitchfest seem rather exaggerated from what I've seen, read and heard.

It's not hating, it's fair criticism

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as you've only been here a few months but if you'd been in enough CP threads over the years here realise that there are a certain subset of people who for whatever reason (CDP fucked their mum, Stole their lunch money or TW3 beat out their favourite Game in GAFs GoTG poll ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) are deeply, deeply invested in rubbishing this game no matter what, and in truth

Reviews should come out on Monday, which should afford us all an insight into how the game plays and performs.

Nope, I haven't lurked the CP threads a lot since I've been trying to stay on media blackout during most of the development.

Let's hope that day 1 patch fix the issues I've seen on those leaks, or at least the majority of those.

Don't forget that you will get a GOG platform exclusive digital comic book called "CP2077: Big City Dreams".

i've pre ordered on GOG.

1. CDPR get 100% of the money
2. you get the comic, print quality posters
3. 30% discount off CDPR merch
4. if you own the Witcher games (not just on GOG) then you get these items in game

 

[FunkMiller]

Hell, shit. I have Ghost Of Tsushima and Days Gone to both play on my Ps5... but the massive Judge Dredd fan in me wants to play Cyberpunk so damn much. It’s likely the closest thing I’ll get to Mega City One in a game anytime soon.

I’m going to hold off on the pre order until the reviews drop (just in case) but everything about this game screams immersion and story more than anything else out there. And mega blocks.

The comic is the best IMO. STEAM on the other hand has a short story written by the game Story Lead, Tomasz Marchewka.

"2AM — She Calls" will show you the hostile streets of Night City as seen by Frank, an ex-NCPD officer working the night shift as a Combat Cab driver.

Do we get the in game stuff on consoles as well or is it gog exclusive?

 

[Ashraf’s Lioness]

So apparently the reviews go up tomorrow. The timing couldn’t get better
What’s your hopes and fears?
And what’s your realistic predictions?

Rest assured there is.

Consoles don’t get any exclusive comic unfortunately. Only Steam and GOG. For getting the stuff shown on picture you have to link your chosen platform with GOG Galaxy 2.0

Not the comics. I meant the in game clothes for owning Witcher 3.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

doesn't matter. you just need to link a GOG account to your Sony/Microsoft account.

Anyone who gets #Cyberpunk2077, no matter the platform or edition, will be able to claim a set of digital goodies. If you connect your game to @GOGcom – you can also get some in-game rewards!

Can you feel it?

I still haven't received my 3080 after 3 months of waiting... I'm 47th out of 300 in a queue there, I'm still waiting, I'm disgusted because I wanted to play it on my OLED TV but with my 2070, it's going to be complicated to have a good experience...

So, im not ready :'(
