I haven't seen anything that indicate anything of the sort about the bolded (EDIT : for this creator i mean )
As for the rest , of the post ,i now don't understand why you went this route regarding the author. You have a reaction to something and you don't care about the intent , so that's the best way to miss the point made. People just don't express themselves with only words , the intent is a concept that matters. ignoring this is a fine way to reach an erronous conclusion , in my opinion.

Yeah a bit like how Fallout is the 60's interpreation of the future, Cyperpunk's style is the 80's interpretation of the future so there's fluo neon clothes and Cadillacs everywhere instead of the more muted style of Deus Ex
Depends on how normalized those aspects of this society are. Augments don't seem rare or exclusive in a way that creates a derogatory class. Imagery surrounding the game makes it look near ubiquitous. It feels like paralleling a first world major city and insulting someone for having a cellphone. It doesn't actually flow with the setting and paints the speaker as an outsider for insulting a norm. That works for something like a self insert fish out of water scenario, but you're supposed to be a natural inhabitant of this world and those quirks are the only reality you know. Your normal and default.
As such they fell back on the tropish conflicts and denigrations we've had and have worked into common language. Lazy? I'll buy that argument, though I also find it believable for much the same reasons. Problematic or not, we're not looking at a scenario where problematic elements are likely to be resolved. This conversation does have me wondering though if the conflicts and new prejudices we see created in some fiction are ways to broach and use the subject without the real world baggage. Especially when they don't inspect them too deeply.
I think we'll still get this. There's going to be several (4?) different areas, and I'd be shocked if one wasn't upper-east side/Beverley Hills-esque, and utterly oozing in affluence, gloss, reflections and advanced tech. They're definitely leaning into the PUNK! more heavily than first anticipated.
Also man, I don't want to hand-wave people's concerns with the language here - specifically 'pussy' and 'cunt' - but come on. It's thematically and tonally appropriate, and wanting a Cyberpunk game that's seeped in slums, drugs, poverty and corruption, but barred from kirt language is just ridiculous. Cyberpunk, especially in this style, is fundamentally rife in the politically incorrect, and socially abrasive.
The concerns with the Hollywood Spanish are well-instantiated.
I honestly couldn't tell you if it's exclusively Mexican. I do know they love it though lmao.
It literally means like blood brother. Jackie is using it like "bro" there though.
You're conflating those works having mostly avoided insults of that caliber at all (gendered or not) with some unwritten rule. It's not like works like SEL even have a single scene where any insult this low would make any sense. Cyberpunk (as in, the RPG, not the genre) takes the -punk very literally, and anyone who watched the gameplay can very quickly pick up on that. It's hard not to believe you're being disingenuous to think this sort of language doesn't fit the work.

Lazy or wide-reaching? Everyone knows what "pussy" is supposed to say. And in a world with as much jargon as CP77 is already displaying, they can use a little forthrightness.
Just wanna say Midnight in Paris is a top tier movie. I've seen in multiple times and I'll probably watch it a few more times this year lol. It sucks Woody Allen is a questionable character, but the movie is still fantastic.
Eh, it's an accurate stereotype tbh. I'm Dominican and we do that shit all the time, I work with all kinds of other latinos and they all speak variants of spanglish too. It doesn't have anything to do with the ability to be able to speak English without mixing Spanish, just some words sound better in Spanish lol.
Actually about that, didn't they say early on that you could get translator implants in order to understand people who speak other languages?
I hope that's still a feature.
62 Pages already?!
Yup, this game is gonna be huge
Amazing trailer btw and lol about them legs
Music is great too

It's certainly a mishmash of different things. On one hand it's Blade Runner and Gibson's Sprawl, and on the other hand it's Max Headroom and Farcry: Blood Dragon.
And to be honest, that's kinda the tone of the original tabletop game, too. It tries to inhabit the space between dead serious cyberpunk and goofier, more satirical cyberpunk.
User Warned: Backseat moderating
Don't buy the game and move on, or create a separate thread for this discussion. You've basically been thread shitting and derailing for the last 20 pages
Go ask a moderator to moderate for you, or stop backseat moderating.
All these posters who keep displaying their callousness for all to see are unlikely to stop just because I stop posting, and I sure as hell am not ready to let it go.
Also, to be clear once again, "don't buy the game" is a cop-out, and I never said it was enough to make me not buy the game in the first place.
What are some of you people playing that this isn't impressive. I want some of that.
What were you expecting exactly? Sure looks like the fps rpg video game they were hyping it up to be.
I don't think Resetera is ready for this game and how dark, grimey, harsh, and generally screwed up Night City will be. If anything, this gameplay was light hearted compared to how dark I can see them going with it. It will be unforgiving in its themes. I've seen and read my share of Cyberpunk and 80s future style media so I know what to expect.
Now this is an idea I can get behind. Have him speak English completely during regular activities, and if you happen to run into a Spanish speaking NPC, have him speak Spanish while your whatever translates to English subs in real time, would be pretty nice if it worked like this, actually.
It's overused and annoying at this point, it's like some creators can't find a way to write a compelling Latino character, so they decide to go for the stereotype Latino that will always keep throwing Spanish words in his speech, despite them not being around characters who also speak Spanish.
Use the ignore function for posters/discussions you don't want to see, that discussion is relevant to the thread
Easy there, the concerns of marginalized individuals are less important than the creative vision of a commercial software company. I've grown less enamored with the cyberpunk genre as it becomes clearer that we're already living in a cyberpunk dystopia.
I could see me preferring first person view since the rest of the game will be that way, but I feel like I'll probably crash into everything in that car.
It will look goofy as fuck. See games designed around first person camera.
Game looks good, but assuming this was the same basic demo shown behind closed doors the "I know something you don't" crowd overhyped the shit out of it.
With Deus Ex seemingly on the back burner it is nice to have a first person cyberpunk rpg to look forward to in the near future.

I don't want to think about the rig necessary to render Twice the amount of frames in an open world game with this level of detail. It's ok to dream ... maybe in 10 years maybe ?
This game looks like they actually gave your character a physical body and animations, rather than jank. I could be wrong though and if I am someone will probably take the time to splice together a few animations in third person to make it look natural during gameplay.
We use it in Peru as well, but it has a different meaning than Mexico. Here you use it for someone who's trying to be sly, cunning, crafty, something like that. Say you're dealing with someone and notice they were trying to rip you off, you go "No seas pendejo!" (Don't be pendejo).
Huh didn't know that, my mother is Peruvian and I've never heard anyone in my family say it
