I could see talking time being interesting but shooting time and driving time look like a waste of time.

I am super unexcited for this after everything I’ve seen but I told myself I will play it, so I will. I just bought it on Steam even though it will be DRM-free on GOG and thus all over torrent sites at launch. Plus, I don’t think there are any pre-order bonuses.
I think I’ll live post about my experience to make the whole thing worth it. Like make a post every half hour of game time… Being wholly unhyped at least gives me a chance of ending up enjoying this! We’ll see…

I would like to join you in this after getting suckered into a cheap preorder, but I don’t think I’ll start playing it immediately

If I don’t start it on launch day, when everybody is hyped for it, my Google News feed is full of Cyberpunk 2077 articles and everybody and their goldfish is streaming it on Twitch then I will never start it and it will just rot in my Steam library. I know how these things go with me. 99% of the experience is in the timeliness of it, taking part in the cultural event, kinda like watching the Super Bowl… Who does that several days after the fact?
Anyway, I’ll surely read what you have to say about it whenever you get around to playing it and I’d love it if other people would join in too. Especially someone who’s actually looking forward to this!
I hope that at least the soundtrack will rule and if Mega Drive is in there I will completely lose my shit.
I generally don’t care about AAA games, but I’m going to get this because as a Gen X’er I love cyberpunk and this is quintessential cyberpunk. Call it a generic take on the genre if you like, but this is a computer version of a 1990 pen and paper RPG. If it weren’t somewhat trite by today’s standards it wouldn’t be a faithful adaptation.
I’m still not entirely sold on the actual gameplay from what I’ve seen, but I’m sold on the aesthetics. Going to play this with my Night City guide book and see how close it is to the 2020 version. Also, I gotta play a Cyberpunk 2020 adaption in 2020, ya know?
Only way this could be better in theory is if it were an adaptation of Iron Crown’s CyberSpace instead of Cyberpunk 2020. CyberSpace rules.

I mean literally everything about 2077 looks like it’s minimizing the distinctive, cool aspects of 2020? And straight up rejects a lot of it’s cool aesthetic influences in place of stuff that just looks like generic concept art pumped out of the concept art mills of today.

Cooperation with the acclaimed Swedish punk rock formation involves writing, recording, and producing an EP featuring the greatest hits of SAMURAI, with creative direction provided by CD PROJEKT RED’s composer team headed by Marcin Przybyłowicz. Tracks born from the partnership include ones both heavily inspired by the original source material, as well as original tracks created by the band exclusively for Cyberpunk 2077 .
“I’m incredibly excited about having Refused on board for Cyberpunk 2077 ,” said Marcin Przybyłowicz , Music Director , CD PROJEKT RED. “ I know for a fact there are a lot of fans of the band at the studio, including Piotr Adamczyk, one of the composers working on the game, who came to me with the idea for this collaboration. I’m very happy he did, because the massive riffs, powerful drums, and hard-hitting vocals the guys from Refused deliver as SAMURAI have blown me away,” added Przybyłowicz. “I can wholeheartedly say the punk factor of Cyberpunk 2077 ’s music is through the roof!”
“Like us, SAMURAI is a group of rebels, albeit in a different time and place,” said Dennis Lyxzén , Lead Vocalist of the band Refused . “Working together with CD PROJEKT RED, writing music and song lyrics for Cyberpunk ’s chrome rock icon was fun, but also very different in the creative sense. It was an unexpected challenge that turned out to be right up our alley and really got us going. The songs turned out great and the game looks insane,” added Lyxzén.

really the biggest problem I have with this game from the pre release stuff is the fucking gangs. I can get over wooden writing and shitty promotional meme nonsense if your game is really pretty and lets me fuck around well enough, but those racist gangs, which I fucking forgot about until like yesterday, are gonna stick around

I googled this and yeah, it looks very bad. Sort of like a prison gang stereotype simulator. They haven’t said anything about the white gang(s) and now I wonder how close to the aryan brotherhood this is going to be
my current plan is i’m just going to read what all of you have to say about this game and then if there are redeeming qualities i’ll pick it up at a discount some day down the line.
i mean if it turns out to be mindblowingly amazing, i guess i’ll get it sooner than that, but

It looks like Star Citizen with a badly written story to me. There’s this one trailer on Steam where the player walks into a police station or something like that and they have to place their gun on a counter. Then walk into a room, look at the chair and sit down. Then look at the table and hand over some document to the person at the other end. It’s so… anal.
Speaking of which, my run is going to measure Time to Fuck. I’ll probably create a male character because even though I play a woman in everything that lets me create a character I play a man in everything that let’s me fuck. I want to get to a sex scene as soon as possible and see what that’s like. Gotta make your own goals with games like this, right?
