"I'm just like picking up so many dildos."

- Jeff Gerstmann, 2020

A good discussion, and it's nice to hear the Jeffs chit chatting as that's a rarity on GB. They were mixed on it and articulated it all in a way that makes sense.

Be careful guys, pointing out that the game is buggy will attract the ire of a certain segment* of the gaming community

I believe in CD Project Red. Those guys are perfectionist and I believe the delays happened for a good reason. Witcher 3 was delayed many times and is now a modern classic in RPGs And the two Jeff's need to happen more often. Cyberpunk is going to be epic.

Wonder why they don't try increasing the difficulty if they feel normal isn't forcing them to engage with all of the game's systems.

Actually sounds like a similar situation as the normal difficulty in The Witcher 3.

Hearing in several reviews/discussions how little Cyberpunk has to say about the state of its own world is literally the worst case scenario. Especially disappointing because the Witcher games were really good at interrogating the world, and having Geralt be a figure with a foot in both power and discrimination and to feel heat from every side of things.

I am probably one of the biggest Cyberpunk 2077 fans in the known universe and my heart is racing waiting these final 47 hours until we can finally play the game. I can accept the game is buggy, just like the rest of the world CDPR probably didn't anticipate a year filled with so much turmoil for their employees to be able to complete the game using the new landscape that was placed before them.

The patches (and let us hope that day one patch applies to the PC as well) and additions to this game that is now CDPR's baby are just going to continue to get better and better. They want us to become part of this world and they are invested in it. The good faith of their company to provide every patch and DLC free of charge has made me truly appreciate them and I imagine their hearts will sink if the word day one is this is a buggy mess. I don't know what the answer will be, but I love hearing the impressions of all the reviewers currently and can't wait to form my own opinion.

Hard difficulty Female Corpo - laser katana specialization, shotguns, pistols, possibly assault rifles - stealth? What's that? Everyone who has expended their use will find themselves flying across the room from a shotgun blast to the chest, because I don't wanna get backstabbed.

It sounds like we are in for a ride though at least for a while with the way the game is being discussed. It doesn't sound ready. Me? I am ready. Let's go.

If you're a fan of a thing that you haven't used (and which isn't even out yet?) I'd say you're a fan of the thing's marketing, not the thing.

Woof, buggy as hell. Sounds a little messy too.

Kinda like a game that was slapped together in the last two years of developer crun---wait a second

Curious to see how hype meets reality.

EDIT: Strong oof at the Jeffs' comments on bad writing and Night City having no personality. I say this as someone who didn't really care for Witcher 3's quests or writing; I guess this won't make a believer out of me.

@steveurkel: I'm happy you're happy, buddy, but I would say it might be healthy to tone down the hype just a smidge. You're a fan of what you _imagine_ that game is going to be, not what it _will_ be. Maybe play the game first, then make up your mind about whether you like it.

Jeff and Jeff content! Yes!

I know they have already started getting some flak for their thoughts but I am super glad for this format, it reminds me of the video reviews Jeff and Brad used to do. Absolutely am down for more of this.

If you're a fan of a thing that you haven't used (and which isn't even out yet?) I'd say you're a fan of the thing's marketing, not the thing.

Nope, I've followed the game's development for 8 years, consumed every single screenshot, video, and scrap of information I can find about this game in the hope that one day I will finally get to witness what the company's vision they have worked so hard to achieve. I've sat wide eyed staring at the beautiful world they have created and watched in wonder as more of the pieces of the puzzle began to be formed. I have faith in them that they will be able to bring us their ultimate vision, it may take some time.

In the 8 years since this game has been announced my life has been pure hell dealing with a chronic health disease and requiring non stop medical care and this year alone 20+ days in the hospital and 5 surgeries (2 in the past month alone, still recovering from the one on Thursday!). In those years I have had something, anything to give me hope to move forward. There was always something to look forward to but nothing to ultimately look forward to. The singular thread from these past 8 years is that a lot of those things I looked forward to have fallen away and there isn't much left to look forward to in my life, at my age, and in my condition. I nearly died a week ago. I've waited for Cyberpunk 2077 for 8 years. If anyone wants to take that away from me, you won't.

My entire sole life's passion has been enjoying games on the cutting edge of graphics and witnessing what is capable with the newer technology. I still recall where my life was when I first saw dynamic shadows in Unreal, and colored lighting in Quake 2. Watching id software create new engines over the years and Epic side by side as well has always been how I choose to spend my time. Following the video game industry, and how these magnificent developers are capable of creating products never imagined before. Every time technology has progressed we have witnessed a whole new era of what is capable and that is one of the most exciting things to me. It is what I wake up for at the end of the day, is to see beautiful video game graphics and see what we are capable of creating and advancing as not just a community of gamers/developers, but as a human race. I know where my place is at in the world. I am not welcomed into society because of my health problems, so I stray away from people and humanity. This is what I do. I play video games. It is where I invest my time.

They've shown me a world I want to invest my time into.

Not the marketing.

The developers.

Hopefully increasing the difficulty helps with making the in game systems worth going through cuz if not yikes.. I settled my expectations for this game and I might need to lower them again.

I feel like people forget, this is just CDPR making a cyberpunk themes fallout game, nothing more lol. It's just one of those, I think people are expecting this to be the end-all-be-all of modern gaming.

The forced edginess in this game sounds awful, but it makes me wonder why no one at Giant Bomb ever talked negatively about the sniper rifle abortion and other cringeworthy misogyny in DmC.
