TheMightyEthan Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 lol, okay, I think we're talking past each other. I said if your character had a skill for Spanish it would make sense that the higher the skill the better the translation, but I didn't necessarily mean that your character should have a skill for Spanish. Although upgraded translators giving better translations makes sense too. Online translators now are a hell of a lot better than they were 10 years ago.

Waldorf and Statler Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I hope it won't be a problem where you as the player know what the game is saying but the character doesn't. Like if you have to listen in on mexican workers doing something and then walk towards whatever you have to do, that's fucking perfect. If you have to talk to them, they speak spanish and your character is like O_O and chooses an option wrong that's gonna be frustrating. Hopefully they also have french and other languages as if it's primarily spanish and english slang we might be fine for the most part.

Mal Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hmm... I actually was thinking of a more dark and moody world but I think this is fine too. It is cyberpunk. Now we need some gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 The brightness was certainly not expected, but tbh I kinda like it. Most cyberpunk games tend to be shades of black with neon blue. And can't deny it was great visiting Toussaint in Witcher 3 and the stark difference in colour and brightness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Yeah, in my mind this type of world should exist in a state of perpetual night time lol. Looked great, though. Can't wait to see some proper gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 I recall reading that there is gameplay at E3 but it's behind closed doors. Maybe something like how DOOM was showed off initially. You'll need to find people you like that are there to get a good feel of how it is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yeah, cyberpunk is usually like Gotham: always night, usually fall/winter. I like the brightness and colors too. I'm actually looking forward to this game, even though I bounced off the Witcher games. I hear those games got much more playable with the later ones, so I'm looking forward to getting in on the ground floor of a series where they've already done that learning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I haven't either due to what Ethan said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 @deanb I bounced off Witcher 1 after like 8 hours, and tried Witcher 2 twice and bounced off both times, so I never even attempted Witcher 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yeah I guess it's a pretty shit game Though I guess I'm curious: if you've bounced off all other CD Projekt Red games you've tried, why the interest in Cyberpunk 2077? To me the main drive is it's coming off the back of one of the best games ever made (with one of the best expansions ever released). Witcher 1 would make me go "hmm", Witcher 2 a good old "yeah go on". But after Witcher 3 Otherwise it's not like we're hurting for cyberpunk themed games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Because I've heard very good things about The Witcher 3, I just don't have any interest in playing the third entry in a series where I haven't played the first two. Cyberpunk doesn't have that issue. *Edit - It's not that I think I wouldn't like the Witcher 3, I think I probably would, I just don't want to go into it without the first two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 It took me much longer to get to Witcher 3 for the reason Ethan said. Witcher 1 constantly crashed my old pc for reasons I never figured out and then when I finally got to Witcher 3 it turned out that it barely even acknowledges the first game at all.

Mr. GOH! Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I played parts of the first 2 Witcher games (about a third of the first one and about 2/3 of the second); they have their moments, but W3 is an entirely different beast. It does a good job of setting up the world for new players and those of us who forgot all of the lore and story from the first two games. Cyberpunk looks neat. I like the brighter style alongside the usual cyberpunk tropes from the 80s and 90s. If it's as open as W3, it will be an instant buy for me.

toxicitizen Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I haven't played Witcher 3 either and I'm beyond hyped for Cyberpunk. I actually played the first two but when W3 came out I just found the prospect of getting into such a massive game exhausting. I want to play it but I haven't felt like going back to it yet. W3 is obviously a fantastic game, so any new IP by the same dev is going to be of interest to people, I think. Especially when cyberpunk > fantasy. So yeah, I don't see the relation here. Also, apparently it's first-person! http://ca.ign.com/articles/2018/06/12/e3-2018-first-cyberpunk-2077-details-game-is-a-first-person-rpg-more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 So, from what I hear, people who seen the closed door gameplay are creaming themselves five times in a row. I WANT TO BELIEVE. Anyhow, some info: Quote Night City - in between SF and LA (fictional city). Inspired by both cities. What the fuck did they do to San Luis Obispo? Or is it Salinas? Bakerfield? Fresno? It got to be Fresno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Finally!! Welp, that looked fucking sick. Can't remember the last time I've seen such a long gameplay demo for an upcoming game, let alone managed to sit through the entire thing without skipping ahead even once. Gives pretty strong Deus Ex vibes, which I'm always happy to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yeah looked pretty generic. I don't know. I guess after the transphobic jokes, this game being a generic first person shooter, I'm just feeling nervous about CD Project Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 It's hilarious that you would call this generic after all the Uncharted 3 stuff. I think your brain might have a few wires firing the wrong way, might wanna have someone take a look at that. The other stuff is... yeah. I'm willing to chalk it up to stupidity/ignorance until they give me a good reason to assume malice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 It *is* a bit generic though isn't it? Nothing we haven't seen in Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, Deus Ex etc. There's nothing really new going on here. Your primary interactive tool is a gun. They've thrown in some titties and swears because it's a "mature" game. It looks like a good example within the genre, but it is very generic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Do you mean the visuals or the gameplay? The visuals I can kinda get? I mean, I don't necessarily agree (like my artist friend said, the art direction is basically visual porn) but they're still admittedly adhering very closely to a setting that was created in the 80s. They're not exactly reinventing the visual aesthetics of a cyberpunk world. Although the heavy use of daytime certainly helps make it stand apart from other cyberpunk settings. But calling this a "generic first person shooter" is just batshit insane to me. Imo, there's nowhere near enough games that play like what we see in the demo. You have to be looking at it with the most reductive eye imaginable to see nothing but a "generic first person shooter" there.

TCP Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Witcher 3 was my first Witcher-anything (also, I love the hell out of that game and outside of BOTW, it's the best game released this gen). Yeah it was set in a fantasy world but it didn't feel nearly as Tolkien-influenced as, well, any other Western fantasy game. Which made the game feel like a breath of fresh air. I guess that's because it was based off Polish fantasy/fairy tales, NOT English/German fantasy/fairy tales like most of the Tolkien-derivative work. FLD, you yourself compared it to Deus Ex in your first post. Not to mention Thursday's comparisons. I guess I was hoping it would do to cyber punk what Witcher 3 did with fantasy, and from what I saw in that demo, that's not the case. It's a pity, because it's based off a table top game, you'd have to imagine they'd have a lot of flexibility with the aesthetic. Now factor in that they're unapologetically transphobs, and I'm much less willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But hey, maybe, hopefully, I'll be wrong. This game has a lot to live up to. Also, what does Uncharted 3 have to do with anything? Uncharted 3, a game with a higher Metacritic than any CDPR game.

toxicitizen Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Any first-person cyberpunk game is inevitably going to give me Deus Ex vibes because Deus Ex is my favorite game series. That doesn't mean their similarities aren't superficial. Deus Ex isn't open-world and is nowhere near as ambitious. If Cyberpunk lives up to its promise, it might actually make me forget that Deus Ex is dead. And even if they were identical, I don't see how that would make either of them generic considering there aren't anywhere near enough games like them that exist! Also, this is generic but Witcher 3 isn't? Wut? There's some folklore elements in there that might seem fresh to us but it's otherwise a fairly typical fantasy setting. Your criteria for what qualifies as generic is pretty inconsistent there, buddy!!! And I brought up Uncharted 3 because 1) it amuses me to mock your obsession with that mediocre game and 2) Uncharted is literally the most generic thing ever, so it was funny to see you going there. Speaking of which, is anything you say not a blatant lie?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Oh I forgot The Witcher 3 got a PC port. The Xbox 1 version which is of course the definitive version of the game is at 91 on Metacritic. Still, two of the best games of their generations with very high Metacritics!! Also, @FLD, I thought Splinter Cell was your favourite game series?? Get your story straight!!!!

toxicitizen Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm almost certain I never said that. Maybe I said it was the best stealth series? Or maybe you're just making shit up like you always do!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
