Video games have long been associated with a risk of epileptic seizures, and some games and consoles (though not all) include a photosensitivity warning when booting them up. There is no such warning on PC, of course, and PC copies of Cyberpunk 2077 - such as those used to review the game - currently do not include a specific epilepsy warning at startup.

This reminds me of Baldur's Gate 3 when the developers were surprised that the vast majority of players just made a regular rear end character that looks like them instead of whatever snowflake tumblr OC the devs usually played with in D&D lol.

Cyberpunk proves that games should give players no character customization whatsoever, no sexual content, an mostly confine them to manipulating abstract shapes in a featureless void.

counterpoint: if you're playing a high fantasy role playing game and choose a bog-standard standard white male human that looks he could work in programming, you're Doing it Wrong

i like creating a character that looks like myself in the role playing games i play. doesn't seem too wild, but i'm just a simple, country gamer

I can't imagine buying an expansive open-world game from an eastern european developer on release. What is wrong with you people? Let that poo poo simmer in the delicious juice of patches and desperate hotfixes for a year or two.

Eh, there is a certain appeal in playing as a standard, no name grunt that rises to glory and fame through sheer loving grit and will instead of being a Choosen One

my best friend in college always played as girls in games and i was like "why" and he said "if i have to look at someone's rear end for 40 hours, it might as well be a girl's rear end" and that has stuck with me forever.

As a long-time lurker in this (and previous) Cyberpunk 2077 thread(s), I just wanted to share a couple of observations:

1) All the PC Master Race people posting "LOL consoles" after seeing leaked game footage on the Internet are apparently unaware that consoles nowadays are literally PCs with significantly stripped-down operating systems that are generally much easier to optimize for - given that their specifications are fixed. Sure, the graphics will be less impressive than a high-spec PC but assuming that the massive amount of game-breaking bugs only applies to console versions of the game (when they are likely sharing most of the underlying engine and codebase) is really silly. All of the reviews have so much have directly stated that the game is buggy as hell - even gamebreakingly so. Also, given that the game will have to run on an incredible variety of processors and graphics cards and memory configurations, etc. makes it more likely that there will be issues with the PC version of the game.

2) Everyone assuming that a three-week delay was sufficient to address most of the issues is only attempting to fool themselves.

I'm sure it's going to be a great game, and I'm genuinely looking forward to it. I just think some people need to temper their expectations a bit... and maybe consider holding off on playing it for a while if they are sensitive to jank.

OK, but at the VERY LEAST give the character Aragorn stubble and long hair so you don't end up adventuring around a fantasy world looking like a starbucks manager, like so:
