I haven't watched much of the videos released, don't want to spoil anything if I can help it, but in that last video the gameworld seems largely devoid of people, both inside and out, that bar for example, one person in it!

At my age, I don't get hyped about anything much, except maybe in anticipation of my morning coffee and porridge, and I certainly haven't seen a lot to get hyped about (yet) in Cyberpunk.

I would imagine the number of people on screen is limited on consoles

I hope on PC we will have an option to fix that. If not maybe in a later patch with Direct Access.

Hopefully on the next gen consoles too, they're more than capable.

Look like a sunday in my village only a few people around .......

What's betting there's another delay? It's around this point where they announce them; few weeks prior to release.

Looked....fine, i guess. Nothing particlarly exciting in what they did show. If the story isn't bang on then i think this could be a disappointment.

People really hype it up due to the story and theme (understandable for some), but everything else shown so far was... average (as in, already used/present in another game). Probably works kinda well enough with a stealth mechanic, but not so much as a shooter. Deus Ex is quite bad if you don't play it stealthy and this one looks just the same. But for those expecting some sort of GTA pew-pew cyberpunk style, yeah, could be a (big) disappointment.

Those "crowds", auch...

I'm still holding off. I'm going to give it a month or two and see what the general consensus is. Better to be safe than sorry these days when it comes to games.

Kinda looked like a Deus Ex mod

Does someone want to run the odds on this being broken within the first week

The feel I get from this game is a jumble of parts like Deus Ex, Omikron, GTA and Rage had a baby and I feel no connection to any of it - I watch the footage and as impressive any part of it is in isolation as a whole I don't know why I'd play it.

Don't forget a smattering of Syndicate too.

Unfortunately I agree. It’s starting to look like they’ve tried to cram in so many themes, they’ve lost the focus I’d always imagined they initially had. I was just hoping for a very dark, Blade Runner type theme but each video it’s looking so GTA/Rage. I’ll buy it having waited so long now but sure I’ll be super disappointed.

Whilst I was impressed 2 years ago, it already looks very dated and almost on the verge of feature creep. No wonder they updated the graphic style to make it look fresh. I hope I’m pleasantly surprised but am at the point of take it or leave it now.

I genuinely don't see why people are being so turned off by it. I'm personally pumped for it, roaming night city at night time, finding shops to upgrade my body mods, getting eddies through questionable means to pay for said upgrades. Infiltrating corpo towers to hijack gear to help me defeat gang bosses, befriending street bosses to help fund my further appetite for top end cars and live the high life. All whilst trying to work out why Johnny Silverhand is in my noggin.

Sounds epic!

I do agree that the marketing is a little iffy with how cringy it is trying to pamper to everyone. They really need to focus away from the GTA crowd and focus on what the game IS, not what it CAN be.

Yeah, why would we be hyped for the biggest AAA game this year in development for like 7 years. I am totally in, personal opinion of course.

I'm very much looking forward to it, as usual you get a vocal minority now and then.

Frubeling · 19 Nov 2020 at 06:06

There's a lot of people about who almost seem to WANT the game to disappoint or flop
