Finally something to get me excited for this! Itās been since Conan Exiles that I could adjust a penis sliderā¦ I wanna be floppinā in the breeze! Do you get an erect/flaccid toggle or is it flaccid only, so many questionsā¦
This discussion is damping my enthusiasm a bit, but I still like the aesthetics. Iāve never played a CD Project game for more than about five minutes so I really donāt know what Iāll be getting into. Still hyped to cyber up and jack in though.
There is a āstyleā trailer showing off some of the different clothes in the game and I think whoever was in charge of those did a great job! Iām hyped to dress up in this game for sure. Even though itās, uhm, first person only.
Also from what Iāve heard all the locales like bars, clubs and the like are really well designed and feel more like real, lived in places than youāre used to in videogames and thatās interesting too. I really hope they nail the environment and itās just fun to go exploring and exist in this space.

Regarding some of the issues that have been addressed in the thread, a very smart friend of mine contextualized them in a helpful way for me. If we split Cyberpunk into a pre and post-9/11 framework then maybe CDPRās depiction makes a little more sense within the game world. With the onset of the Iraq war effectively shutting the door on Cyberpunkās utopian possibilities and allowing the fatalist Fukuyama āend of historyā mindset to creep into our collective consciousness. Maybe the racism and whatnot weāve seen in the game thus far is just a reflection of Cyberpunkās failure rather than a celebration of the genre.
In other words Americaās invasion of Iraq essentially committed the globe to its stupidest realization possible and this game is a vision of that potential future. Also, letās face it, Cyberpunk is such a 80ās/90ās genre than anything thatās come after truly is cheap pastiche because weāve been living with the banalized Web 2.0 Cyberpunk where we now realize thereās nothing āaestheticā about late capital, which might explain why 2077 is hyper-stylized to such a garish degree.

This is the opposite of what happened ā the end of history was supposed to be the monopolar pax americana utopia and it became obvious that Fukuyama was the wrongest man alive by 1995.

Thereās a lot to address there on that topic for sure! lol
The clash of civilizations would be the appropriate fatalist prediction, no?
Sorry, I know this is polisci 201 but end of history isnāt accurately fatalist except in secondary scholarship

I just meant in the sense that a cultural malaise sets in with idea that there is no future, or that if there is a future that its already been pre-determined. Admittedly, perhaps too literal an interpretation.

once again:
This is a first-person RPG/shooter in which players assume the role of a mercenary named V trying to make their way through the open-world of Night City. Players can explore futuristic locations, interact with citizens, perform missions, and engage in combat to complete various objectives within a storyline. Characters use handguns, machine guns, rifles, and explosives during frenetic firefights with humans and cybernetically enhanced enemies; players can also use melee weapons (e.g., wrist-mounted blades, enhanced limbs) to stab enemies and, in some cases, dismember them. Combat is frenetic, with frequent gunfire, cries of pain, explosions, and blood-splatter effects. Some locations depict mutilated corpses with open chest cavities and/or exposed organs/entrails. During one quest, players assist a character by hammering nails through his hands and feet; screaming sounds and blood effects accompany the scene. The game contains nudity and sexual material: Players can select a gender and customize their character; customization can include depictions of breasts, buttocks, and genitalia, as well as various sizes and combinations of genitals. Players can encounter events where they have the option to engage in sexual activities with other main characters or prostitutesāthese brief sex scenes (from a first-person perspective) depict partially nude characters moaning suggestively while moving through various positions. Some scenes contain brief depictions of thrusting motions; other scenes depict a characterās head moving towards a partnerās crotch. The game contains frequent depictions and references to fictional drugs, including characters taking puffs/hits from a state-altering inhaler/stimulant; an animated billboard ad depicts a man snorting speed. Some sequences allow the player to drink alcoholic beverages repeatedly until the screen distorts; playerās character can also drive cars while drunk. The words āf**kā and āc*ntā appear in the dialogue.

Wait. The player helps someone out by putting nails through their limbs? Notā¦ the player helps a torturer out by putting nails through someone elseās limbs? Iām not playing this game anytime soon or really paying attention to it other than skimming this thread, butā¦ Iām real curious how you assist someone by torturing them.
Maybe itās one of those, āInstall a spycam in an inconspicuous corner of the ceiling missionsā, but the spycam is your buddy?
