I typically make characters who resemble myself in most ways, which is why I always put together all the most useless skills in my Morrowind runs and name the class "Liberal Arts Major". Then I spend 30 hours striking out with the local shop wench

Is there a consensus in the reviews on whether male or female V has the best voice acting?

Cactus posted:I enjoy playing female characters in games, but wouldn't want to become female in real life. Just the same as I enjoy playing psychotic murderers in games, and would not want to become one irl. Also, growing up playing games there wasn't very much opportunity to play anything but a straightwhitedude. In recent years that issue has been in the process of getting fixed, and due to that I enjoy picking the options I never really could before, like different genders or ethnicities, just for the variety if nothing else.

The Last Call posted:I don't remember if there were any patches for two and three when they released or not but I played them just fine. Never saw any bugs. Never had any issues. I meant Witcher 3, should have been more precise. But I remember stories about how bad the horse control used to be and how Roach could spawn in random places. I bought Witcher after the first big QoL patch so I never really remember any big bug except I had two instances of health potion instead of just one.

I think CDPR games have typically had bugs that were amazingly funny/bizarre, but not necessarily common? Like I don't think I ever had anything exceptionally weird happen in hours and hours of Witcher 1/2/3.

Lets not kid ourselves here: This is a Early Access launch. If you're fine with that, okay. If you're not okay with EA type launches just wait a month or so and enjoy the bug montage video's that are gonna come out.

Should we have a separate thread for discussions of gender politics in this game and stick to gameplay in this one? This seems to come up from time to time with some games and completely ruins the thread. Maybe just a general gender politics in games mega thread that you can discuss all games, including this one it? I know it's difficult to separate such comments and people are gonna post, but it would be nice. I don't want to shut down such discussion, but it kind of drowns out everything else and creates a lot of unnecessary conflict.

If you're going to wait I think you have to weigh bugs vs spoilers. I don't want to be spoiled at all so it's a somewhat large consideration for me

Still, it doesn't look like we're talking a massive difference in VA quality like in the last two AssCreeds

It wasn't until I had beaten the game and started to look at the witcher threads that I saw the pictures and vids with Roach, I laughed my rear end off. I was actually a bit annoyed that I never saw anything of the sort in my game. It was so funny, I don't think it was that common but people definitely talked about it enough that it became a meme for years after.

VR has a lot of potential to allow people to be (or even try out) whatever body type or shape they want, and I think that's really special. You already see the furry community completely embracing VR so they can meet up while effectively being their fursonas. I really look forward to what this could do to open society to new ways of thinking. Voices are another challenge but the technology is coming together.

I don't play many games so I think the only game I've played where you can pick your gender is... Mass effect 2? I tried playing around with customizing your look but after having to go through that drat 20 minute opening everytime until you finally get to see what it looks like in-game, I finally just picked default male for one playthrough and default female for the other. When I get around to buying cyberpunk in a month I'll just pick default female and be done with it.

Turin Turambar posted:No offense, but isn't the voice controlling the gender more progressive than the body type selecting the gender? The game letting you select your gender separate of man/woman bodies isn't good? Yes, voice goes with it, which kinda makes sense for a scifi future? Because who wouldn't change the voice if he is going to change genders? It's more of a missed opportunity slash CDPR half-assing it. Being able to select vocal tone and pronouns independently of one another at chargen would be an extra step forward in representation. CDPR could have also gone for the extra credit move of non-gendered pronouns and a specifically enby vocal tone - but again, one part missed opportunity to one part half-assed representation. This isn't to say that decoupling body from gender in a big AAA game even a little bit is a good move, just that there's opportunity to do even better.

Not all but a very good portion of famous titles even make it possible. I've played as men in some and women in others, why? For kicks. To have fun. No real reason beyond that, to me that was part of the charm for said games, to be whatever you be and go wild if you wanted.

This seems to come up from time to time with some games and completely ruins the thread. Maybe just a general gender politics in games mega thread that you can discuss all games, including this one it? I'm not sure how you can really separate discussions about gender politics in a cyberpunk game from gameplay. You're going to have to stick your head reeeeealy far in the sand to keep the two from mixing. The punk genre is inherently political and cyberpunk is queer coded as gently caress and a lot of people are finding that out the hard way that the newest AAA title is pretty queer and political in places and that the queer folk of the LGBTQ+ community are also pretty political and they have expectations too as they consume the genre and play games too. Good luck separating the two. Punk is political and when people talk politics they argue. Ice Phisherman fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Dec 8, 2020 |

See ResetEra for an extreme but real example of this happening, hopefully we dont become that. Luckily the game isnt actually out yet so theres nothing else to talk about, which means the thread will get way better tomorrow evening.

Saints Row 2 had the gender slider, which was really cool, and 3 had decoupled voice/personality from physical appearance, which I also found really cool

Was this already posted? Hidden title card in new trailer https://i.redd.it/ur4nw6jy90461.png "The wait for Cyberpunk 2077 is almost over. It's been quite the journey, and first of all we want to thank all of you for being with us along the way. We know there's a fair amount of anticipation for the game, and very soon you will all be able to decide whether or not we lived up to the hype. Launch day is always a mix of excitement and constant nerve-wracking, and with this being the first game we've developed that isn't titled 'The Witcher', we'd be lying if we said we weren't anxious to see what you think once you've sunk your teeth into it. With this launch trailer, we're just about ready to flick the switch and see Cyberpunk 2077 go from ours to become yours. We set out to create our most immersive world yet, and we believe that the stories waiting for you to uncover, and the relationships you'll forge during your time in Night City, will stick with you for quite some time. We've mentioned before that expansions will be coming, and while we're not ready to talk specifics just yet, we will say that we've learned a lot from our work on both Hearts of Stone & Blood and Wine. Our planned expansions will take you even deeper into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 offering substantial, story-driven content that'll give you tough choices to make through impactful narratives that you won't soon forget. But before we get there, we'll first be kicking off our free DLC program in early 2021. Just like with The Witcher 3, expect an assortment of free DLC packs to begin hitting Night City, dropping a bunch of cool stuff that'll inject even more life into the world of the dark future. We hope you're looking forward to them! We want to end this message with a request. Once you play/finished the game, we would love it if you got back to us and told us who your V was. Our forums and social media are there for you. We want to know how you found Night City and what choices you made. We created a huge world for you to jump into, tell us your story."

Actually most of the drama and shitposting from the last 3 days has revolved around posters coming in here with links to resetERA and all their bogus psychopathic drama. Maybe we can leave those psychos alone and if you wanna touch the poop you can make a discord and stop bringing that poo poo up in here. We’ve had exactly ZERO constructive takes on them, it’s just smearing poo poo on the walls.
