Fair. I elaborate a little more.
Most of the Italian (and European) medieval and renaissance works of art were commissioned by the Catholic Church.
Now, do you have an idea of how the church has behaved towards minorities over the past millennium?
By extension, wouldn't it be correct to also ignore any work subsidized by such entities? I'm just following your logic.
I hope the point is clearer to you now.

These two situations are so ludicrously dissimilar that I struggle to believe you actually think you've made a sound argument.
Yeah.
That's the mean of an hyperbole?
Again, straight to the point:
Everyone is obviously free to boycott CDP for their missteps. At the same time I think it is also possible to wait a couple of months and understand if they were in good faith or not.
Good interview. I'm glad you brought up melee combat to them. Hopefully there's a big push to really refine that aspect.
The best version of your argument (that I can think of) is essentially don't be critical of anything because art has a history of being funded by 'problematic' institutions, which you have to admit, isn't really compelling especially to those interested in social justice and fair representation of minorities.
Ok, we can talk now : ). Thank you for having the patience to carefully read my twisted arguments ; D.
Yours is a possible interpretation, but not the one that I certainly really intended.
My point lies precisely in the fact that it would be absurd to deprive oneself of the beauties of art, although unfortunately they have often had a bloody genesis.
This is precisely what we do, visiting buildings, museums, listening to music, observing paintings and sculptures that often required a very high price to be created.
Yet they outlived their creators and what remains now is something of absolute value.
More specifically: I firmly believe that it is possible to enjoy a game, this does not mean failing in one's ideals.
Neither more nor less.
Finally caught up with the video. Game looks amazing, as expected. My 980 Ti weeps though.
Life Paths are cool, honestly it's a shame there's only three, but I'm sure more would just add exponentially to the complexity. Nomad or Street Kid for me.

Could the game potentially be banned from discussion here if it doesn't pass the test?
The difference is we were not alive when all of those paintings and sculptures were being made. Society, media and art are also entirely different in 2020 when compared to the historical period/s you're referring to.
If you're willing to put your head in the sand and ignore all the problematic elements of a creative work because cool gun go bang then that's fine, but don't call out others for not wanting to join you.
It looks like CDPR are trying to address the level scaling and loot issues that I honestly thought hurt TW3, especially compared to its predecessor. I'm hoping they can dive into that more before launch.
I think this pretty much confirms (though, it may have said before) the durability mechanic being out, which is very welcome.
Looks so good. Gonna try my best to stick with my GTX 1080 for this. My CPU should still allow for 60 fps at least so it will depend on my graphics settings. Then maybe next year or so I'll finally get an RTX upgrade and do a second playthrough that will be with all the raytracing. Can't wait to finally play this.
I'm very glad to read that normal enemies aren't bullet sponges and that they tried to avoid it with bosses too.
First trailer that made me super hyped up about the game. Usually I find the shown footage ok but nothing stellar. Probably because they finally showed a "darker" more serious side of the game instead of the GTA like vibe of previous trailers. More Blade Runner less GTA please.
My only small gripe is that the singer of Refused doesn't sound like Keanu Reeves at all. He might sound like how they imagined Jonny Silverhand to sound like but there's gonna be a huge disconnect between Keanu's speaking and singing voice
I really hope that the game in general moved towards looking more like the right screenshot compared to 2018. Looks so much better and changes the whole vibe of the game.

Another comparison. Not entirely sure if it's the same location.

We don't know for sure.
There hasn't been official scale released. Community has tried to come up with scale and comparisons, but there is quite a lot variance so nothing definite.
After watching yesterday's video, I'm much more confident it will hit Novembers release date now. It seems very polished and looked much better than earlier showings.
One of my favorite bands over the years. To me it's absolutely fantastic that they're playing a fictional band in-universe. Really cool idea.
Short 30 second clips will never give an indication one way or another.
This was definitely a better showing than the first episode of Night City Wire, which I honestly thought was pretty terrible and deflated my hype on the game.
Good stuff this time.

Ubisoft in shambles.Same area I noticed in the new trailer. To think that I would've been quite satisfied with the 2018 visuals.
Looks so damn good, really can't wait.
I would be sad that after ghost of Tsushima there is nothing worthwhile for me but thankfully we have cyberpunk coming out.
My only two issues for far:
Driving still does not inspire confidence, will have to just wait and drive myself. A bit too floaty/ instant, I hope it does not have the hold to drift like sleeping dogs, even something like GTA v style will be decent ( but if like horizon like they said, will be awesome)
While GOT and tlou2 look stunning on a base PS4, you can tell much more is happening in cyberpunk so I am worried how it will perform on the base consoles.

This part was interesting. Was this something made for Night City Wire, or was that a third-person cutscene?
Don't have a screenshot handy, but you see V from afar in the workshop area.
The gameplay we see here...is this full on raytracing ? As in this is the best its going to look? Or has that not been shown off? Im trying to judge how close next gen consoles would come to these videos. I know ray tracing isn't day one on consoles, is it on PC?
I can imagine that mix sounding quite good and fitting the cyberpunk genre, but the Keanu Reeves character that was burned in our minds the last 7 years is John Wick and if he'd sing, he'd have that whiskey drinking, slow growl/drawl and not the borderline hyperactivity of the Ramones. The sound of the Ramones is also not really lead singer focused. I think what would work better is to take more inspiration from the Misfits for example (but my punk knowledge is pretty limited, I'm sure there are even better examples).

Appears to be a third person cut scene. Maybe smaller interludes between some missions? The subtitle font is different here so it could be made for this episode. hard to say.
So I wonder if life paths affect the entire story as you progress through the campaign or just the initial opening hours?
Street Kid looks the most interesting to me.

each path gives you unique dialogue options, or opportunities with different NPCs based on who you are. I would imagine this also will have some weight on how the game ends, given the choices you make based on all of that.
Too much of an layman to say if RT was enabled in these segments, but at least reflections looked like high quality SSR instead of RT'd reflections.
PC will have ray tracing features on day one, but most likely next-gen consoles have to wait for 2021 patch.

A lot of people don't know this, but Keanu Reeves was in a band called Dogstar from 1994-2002 and he actually sang some Punk songs. Below are 2 samples of him singing:
"Chippin' In" is such a banger Refused song.... But also it's actually kinda fucking hard to play on drums due to the wacky time signatures (David Sandstrom is a fantastic drummer, fyi. Listen to War Music). Still, I've been inspired and definitely gonna learn how to play it.
Anyway, yeah, it's gonna be plenty weird hearing Dennis Lyxzen's voice come out of Keanu's mouth, lol

I don't think RT was enabled, reflections were definately SSR.
I'm guessing they probably just want to show off the current gen version right now.
We might get to see the next gen version of the game running with RTX on the GeForce Event coming at September 1st.
I DID know this :D, but I only knew of soft rock-ish / ballad-ish music from his band (thought "more female fans").
Here is snippets from community Q&A that took place on Discord after this event, source links at the bottom for rest.
Miles interview was a lot more about his experiences with working on the game etc, you can check it here https://www.netrunner2077.net/blog/...y-q-a-part-2-senior-level-designer-miles-tost

Finally watched it. Some amazing looking guns. Forgot the name but that gun with tracking bullets reminded me of Resistance, in a good way. Music portion was boring to me but I can see the appeal of it to some and also why they included it. Going corpo for sure.
Much better episode compared the previous one.

In for the city, atmosphere, and the story, but I just watched the more recent IGN gameplay video. Hopefully there's going to be more to the combat than just stuff like the "faster reload", "faster aiming", "more accuracy", "move faster with a weapon" that they announced. That's bog-standard first-person shooter stuff that usually comes from the weapons themselves, if not mods, or those would just be the early filler skills you pick up in a tree on the way to bigger and better, game altering effects.
In a way the gun aspect sounds a bit like Borderlands.

I don't think you pick perks like "Faster reload" etc., but you just get more proficient with weapon types which then in return gives stat increases to reload speed etc. passively.
Either way this wont be revolution in FP combat design so it will be very much "bog-standard" with RPG systems baked in.
Hopefully that's what it is, because the dev said that V changes over time as the game progresses, and might have just been talking about becoming more proficient with weapons as you use them, which has previously been covered.
I also never expected it to be any kind of revolution regarding the skills, but I was at least hoping it would offer more than what TW3 did, which was pretty bland skill wise. The Deus Ex games, despite being really fun also were rather underwhelming when it came to skills, and that's the series I expected this to copy more than any other.
It is, it's kinda I guess like TES where when you use something you get skill points for one handed combat or magic and so on.But instead of using the skill points they just add to proficiency passively. Less sway, less recoil and so on. They cover it in the interview above.
it was a great showing, but the most impressive and memorable for me was the August 2018 gameplay video.
