CDPR-- please understand, a mature game isn't the F word every 8 seconds

It's amazing how you say that without actually illustrating W H Y.
Therefore, your comment is the equivalent of those little brown crumbs that are left on the back end of the toilet seat after I wipe.
Yep. That's the only thing me and many others is saying. Constant swearing is fitting for a dystopian Cyberpunk setting.
Haha yes, I actually thought about that. That certainly was excessive. Thank goodness that got dropped.
Saying something felt forced or cringe-worthy within saying why it felt that way isn't much of an argument.
People discussing the language have talked about context, other works where similar language and tone is used and why, and so on.
You can also tell a compelling narrative with those vulgarities included. Your argument was that no real person above the age of 16 talks like that. That's bullshit, plain and simple.
I never made a statement about the actual quality of the dialogue by the way.
This is true.
It took me a long time to accept that 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' was a masterpiece. The prose is beautiful, but the dialogue always threw me off.
For a lot of people, it is very difficult to discern good writing when the dialogue is meant to mirror contemporary speech.
Hey bro, you gonna engage with the comments that actually do offer up counterpoints or what?
Also, whose dumps are crumbly?
Note to self: Never, ever, EVER offer up a thorough critique on ANY element of Cyber Punk, EVER. And for the love of god, you idiot, don't even think about trying to be self-deprecating or parody yourself over a goddamn forum. It just...it's too much for them when all they see is that hype train coming full steam ahead.
Wait what?
Nice spin. This is about you saying "It seems like most of you think this is really well written dialogue".
Murderers no, drug dealers sure.
I was also in the military for a few years. According to some of you, infantry soldiers must all be 8 year olds.
In this context, "nerds" refers to sheltered people who actually don't realize that seedy people generally swear like sailors.
You're really embarrassing yourself here.
Then the game is not for you. Not every game is for everyone. Cyberpunk 2077 not being for you because of constant swearing and dialogue that you find cringeworthy or silly is okay, but that's how Cyberpunk is.
Why would it be forced? When it's entirely dependant on the scene and the characters. They aren't writing profanity to every scene. Just when it's more natural for the characters and makes sense for what is happening.
Please elaborate.
There is a difference between a 16 and under swearing to a 20-something to a 30-something swearing though.
Trust me, I do not want 16 and under swearing.
Thank fuck for that. You clearly have no exposure to any form of people who are considered criminals or someone from a lower social standing society and uses this language commonly.

I take it all back. This thread is amazing. The avalanche I've caused.
Guys, do you realize how quick you all are to Negan my head in over this goddamn game?

The nerve, the audacity
The writing gives me GTA vibes, and I don't really go to GTA for mature storytelling. Which is fine.
i don't really know if i can reconcile the position of 'the writing's supposed to be tryhard edgy bullshit, that's cyberpunk man!' with 'actually this is mature storytelling', is kinda the issue i have. One doesn't necessarily beget the other. Like, if that's what they're going for, cool, go off king, just don't expect us to laud it as if it's hemingway i guess.
it's almost like everyone in here's conceptualisation of maturity is that of a 13 year old boy but i dont knoooow
and maybe cdpr's, at least in the demo. 'this is a mature video game, you can tell by how little this woman is wearing'

Person of the world, you already know. You know exactly why that was said and also the fact it wasn't an attack on your person either.
What's this glorified matureness anyway? Well ok I have my own idea about that: some people's sense of self worth is tied to being perceived as mature.
Nah this thread is pretty bad. I just think people should take a step back, including yourself and myself, and look at what we're arguing about. It certainly isn't worth the animosity this thread is generating. And CDPR does not need to be defended so arduously. They have shown the ability to defend themselves, even if they haven't taken criticism well in the past either.
I don't really understand why you think the thread wasn't a shitshow before, since you've been involved in the last few pages and haven't made any effort at making it anything else but one.
I'm going to be honest man. It was one of the more realistic things I've seen.The only time my sister or mom bothered to wear something that wasn't like that in the house was when we had the AC cranking in the summer time. Most of the time it was No-bra, light t-shirt and a pair of panties or maybe no panties and just sleep pants. Or maybe they will just say fuck it that day and walk around the house top-less if we aren't expecting company that day. Seeing a female character like that in her own house is on more realistic things I've seen in video games.
Maybe I just grew up with a weird set of women in my house but to me and my dad it was just normal. Even my sisters husbands got used to seeing my mom around the house in just a slip when they were dating because Mom regarded them as family and didn't give a damn enough to put on clothes when they came over anymore XD.
Yes, I am also impressed people sharing their opinion about how they didn't find your reasoning to be cogent.
You realize that your behavior is actually adding nothing positive or constructive to the thread, right?
Yeah I got that they didn't actually think I'm an expert in Japanese culture. But I still don't know what they wanted to convey with their sarcasm. That's what I'd like to hear.
I agree with you, but the bad thing about the writing is that the lowlifes in CP 2077 can somehow make anologies
faster than the average person with a master diploma. That's not natural at all.
I agree 100% OP.
I don't like what I'm seeing from Cyberpunk so far. Too many cliches. They're trying too much to be cool and that's one the reason you have an overdose of the F word.
Not seeing it. There's far more people choosing not to post at all and a few people out of hundreds that don't enjoy me being provocative and choose to interpret it as condescending doesn't imply a ' problem '
Also, as you'll note, I apologized it came off that way...but I'm ok with it. Certainly I've shown how language can be far more effective and emotive when used as a scalpel and not a shotgun.
One thing to take into consideration is that the level of profanity is a bit different in each culture, I wasn't totally aware of that but at least between my friends, when we speak in Spanish (from Spain, not sure if is the same in other Spanish speaking countries) we use "joder" (fuck in Spanish, same meaning and same usage) almost in every other sentence. So for my point of view, the dialogue in the Cyberpunk video didn't seem especially outrageous at all.
Also, I notice in that U.K. (where I'm living at the moment) seems to be more liberal with the use of swear words (also notable if you compare IGN U.K. with the USA team)
Is this common in other countries as well?, there are non-USA speakers also annoyed by the level of fucks given by sentence?
Just curious if this is a more spread cultural thing or not.

I just described to you how the game is mature both in it's contents and themes. Showing peoples day to day lives means you show drugs, sex, murder and so on, that's inherently "mature" topics, because like most adults, it's simply a part of life and not overly glorified.
The main character woke up after a three day bender with a random dude. It wasn't going "OMG LOOK SHE GOT LAAAAAAAID", it was literally just giving you the setting that she blew her money on partying and hooked up with someone, because that's something most people do in that world, as well as this world.
OP is literally complaining that he thinks the developers fell into the trap you just described. The issue with this thinking is it's Cyberpunk.
Hey, welcome to the thread! Are you here to get your verbal flogging as well?
You'll be happy to know they've worn out their whips already from ripping me to shreds.
Negan someone's head in, in a game or on TV, but those fbombs mate.
Because not all of us are lucky enough to have come from an environment where this language is second nature and seems appropriate in the game.
That's not that hard to understand and maybe if you got off your higher class horse, you'd take two seconds to think about that instead of slyly putting some of us down. If you have nothing to contribute further, please feel free to leave or think about what you're saying.
This post has to be a parody or something, the lack of self-awareness is unreal.
This should absolutely be the rule, for you. Others are still welcome to offer their criticism. The lack of maturity you've demonstrated in this thread shows that you don't really have anything to contribute at this time.
