I forgot who said that but it's very true in the film and literary worlds. Probably even more true in game development. Same with music. I worked on several studio projects and albums back in the day and it's never truly 'done', you just kind of settle with the best you can do within the boundaries of acceptable sacrifice. That might be studio budget, time, your mental state, the record label telling you to release the fucking thing already yadda yadda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkstark Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I didn't care much about cyberpunk, it always looked great but just seemed like a fever dream in the extremely distant future, but now that we're finally a month away after all these long years I'm starting to get hyped. I'm not going to allow myself to fall victim the the extremely lofty expectations that others have set for it, I'll judge it on it's merits.

SimpleG Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Right now this game is the only thing I have looked forward to this year, if it falls flat it will likely be the proverbial straw and Ill bounce out of gaming all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, there’s a 0% chance I’ll wait until that comes out. I’ll get the PS4 version to play on my PS5. Hopefully it’ll at least have much faster loading and maybe higher frames.

I really do have the inkling that this will score in the 80s. It won't be a "bad" game by any measure, but it's probably going to fall somewhat short of the sky-high expectations.

I think it'll garner mostly low 90's but considering the expectations that would probably be a colossal disappointment to many. I simply don't see it redefining a genre in the way that the Witcher 2 & 3 did, but I don't think it needs to in order to be a tremendous game. Even if it's basically just a GTA / Deus Ex hybrid I'm totally on board for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this will be a fantastic game that’s a blast to play. That’s just fine by me in that case! November will be a Demon Souls/Cyberpunk month for me.

Moa Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 It seems like it's going to be a 9/10 type game in comparison to TW3 10/10/10. TW3 was able to build on the successes and learn from (some) of the failures of the previous games, while Cyberpunk is a new thing for them. Also Cyberpunk is going feel like a let down because people have built up totally unreasonable expectations for it. I really hope they manage to translate some of the charm they managed to infuse all the characters in the witcher with into the totally charmless world of cyberpunk.

Rake the swine over the coals, Jason! RAKE THEM ALL! read the full thread. Dude unleashed on Schreier Welp, now I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud. Schreier is toxic. For all the good reporting he does, if you get another angle on his story, or have a critique of him, he sends his followers to dogpile you and paint you as not credible. Only HE is credible, according to him. — Nick Calandra (@nickjcal) October 9, 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in everything but the story, no doubt. I prefer the story of RDR2 over TW3 despite them both being really great in that department. RDR2 has really great graphics and story, but the gameplay is just wack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They story was definitely good, and the only reason I finished it. I'd still place Witcher's story above it though. It had me more invested in the characters with a bigger payoff.

Blade Runner, Akira and Johnny Mnemonic were pretty much the sum total of pure Cyberpunk classics that I experienced aside from some random games and comics I may have come across over the years. I definitely want to track some of this stuff down, particularly the books that were mentioned. 11 minutes ago, Emperor Diocletian II said: It's really a GREAT retrospective.

I watched it on my commute in and ended up pushing being late to work in front of the building watching the rest. I have to track down Snatcher somehow now as well. I mean yeah it looks like a straight Blade Runner rip but...it looks fucking awesome! I wanna play a Blade Runner rip from that era any day.

thedarkstark Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm not even a child of the 80s (was 3 when they ended) but I've always loved that whole era, cyberpunk, synthwave, hip hop, etc just resonates with me. Honestly if it weren't for the setting I probably wouldn't even be interested in CP2077 ditto for Stranger Things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I'll say that video Skillz posted got me psyched about cyberpunk-themed games enough again to actually want to buy Cyberpunk 2077 on release day. It doesn't really look like my cup of tea but the setting makes me wanna give it a chance nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may deserve it, but RDR2 proved that gameplay doesn't really matter with huge open world games when it comes to reviews. If you have great graphics, good writing and an interesting story you will get a high opencritic average. Witcher 3 proves that CDPR have the chops to hit on the graphics/writing/story.
