@thetofu: This is less about american social-politics and more about video game marketing in general. I'm not even necessarily looking for something gender or racially diverse (although it would be nice, especially when the creator of Cyberpunk is black), you can still make a white dude that isn't a shaved headed, broad-shouldered, soldier looking motherfucker that every other marketing team uses for the sake of mass market appeal.

There's diversity even among white dudes. It was a missed opportunity to make their marketing actually stand out from the pack.

I do think it would be cool if they changed up the protag's look every trailer, but maybe that would be too confusing for a general audience.

I was not expecting English voice acting, but I suppose it makes sense. This isn't Japan.

Although I am glad it will have dual-audio. Normally I would just stick to English, but Kiryu's VA as the main character sure is tempting.

@rocketskates: I guess? I mean they've never really been trend setters in that department I suppose, but as a business they are known to be a bit of an outlier. They had more freedom to go outside the norm than an EA or Activision.

It's not so much an expectation as just a bit of disappointment at them wasting the opportunity.

@dgtlty said:

Incredible visuals as expected.

Thankyfully character creation is a thing because the generic white protagonist with terrible VO is about as unimaginative as it gets.

@Quicklyer:

Commander Shepard of Mass Effect was my first thought seeing him. I am also glad there will be character customization, but I'm also a bit disappointed that even CDPR felt the need to go with a generic white dude with a buzz cut as their marketing protagonist, when they had the freedom to pick basically anything. But I guess that's just how it is.

Pump it directly into my veins!

If you know anything about the source material this was pretty expected tbh. There was no way it was going to be pure dark and gritty.

I don't know about Washington (probably), but weed is definitely legal here in Oregon. These days they're like the new Starbucks. I can't drive more than a couple blocks without passing another weed shop.

Same.

Sounds pretty similar to Steins;Gate's concept of time travel and worldlines.

@arjann: I'll almost always take a good dub over any sub. And most of my favorite animes are ones with great dubs.
