Well it is the future wasn't a lot of that actually on V retina?
Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Demo
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
I thought V's lines were fine, though they didn't flow with the conversation as well as I'd hoped. Jackie's constant quips felt too much though, and I'm not sure how I feel in general about the way he talks. Speaking as a Californian, it felt on the side of stereotype instead of natural, but maybe Hispanics would disagree.
Basically this, yeah. I still hate the writing, but use of slurs shouldn't be disallowed given these people are meant to be actual dregs of society. The fact they're using offensive language is kind of... fitting, isn't it.
Shit Piss Fuck Cunt Cocksucker Motherfucker Tits
*deep gasp* baaaaaaad words
Y'all got no problem turning a dude to mist but this is the debate of the thread? No wonder CDPR didn't want to show anything.

Who knows where he has voice modded to come out of.
Puts a whole new meaning to talking out of your arse :P
Am I crazy or is this thread not showing in videogames forum? OP creator is not on my ignorelist or anything. I had to search for it.
That was an unreal demo. This scene was especially jaw-dropping considering what other open-world games tried to do with human density in a city...cough, cough..Watch Dogs...cough, cough
looks absolutely awesome.
also, saying this looks like a watch_dogs 2 clone is some next level ResetEra-ing.

I still think it would be nice to be able to get a clean image. An in-game toggle would be nice.
And it's still open to criticism. Frankly, the dialogue is a lot weaker than the Witcher 3
No one said they're forbidden.
And they could still be more creative without veering into "ow the edge" territory.
lmao thats not what we're saying but keep acting like minorities not wanting to hear slurs thrown around for 100 hours in a fucking fictional future setting that has no reason to use such language is unreasonable ig
That was like the greatest thing I've ever seen. I'm going to have to side with the too good to be true state of mind because that was just too good to be true.
What's the name of the main character tho? Vi Jaina? is that her name or... nickname? I watched the whole stream on my cellphone, need to get at home to watch it in its full glory. The name sounded dumb to me.
Having mercenaries who are killing people for money with no apparent reservations using pejoratives like pussy and cocksucker is not, like, an endorsement of using those terms. You're not exactly playing as a great person.
I generally try to avoid language like that in my day-to-day, so it's not like I disagree that using those terms those ways is bad. But to me it honestly would feel weirdly sterilized if every bad person in the game meticulously used non-bigoted insults. It doesn't feel like speaking that way is being glorified or legitimized. To me, anyway.

The writing is indeed awful, but its not because of the inclusion of the c-word. It's much more about how its used, imo.
Well, Watch_Dogs 2 was certainly an improvement over 1 in that area. There were some crowded places.That was an unreal demo. This scene was especially jaw-dropping considering what other open-world games tried to do with human density in a city...cough, cough..Watch Dogs...cough, cough
But i agree that this is insane. I constantly kept thinking how much work went into just at what we've seen in this demo.
True. But in this game it kinda works, i think.
the dialogue was cheesy too :(
shame that they threw in the JC word too. Doesn't really bother me. But my friend who was super hype about this game now won't play...cuz she's religious and won't watch movies or play a game that uses the lords name in vain. She hates first person shooters anyway tho.

Who's Jaina tho? At some point I heard his partner say "Jaina" do this or that o hear me up whatever.
The fact that an IP created by a black guy is one of the most hyped games of the year brings me great joy.
But when it's said by your protagonist's partner and your protagonist doesn't react to it (or get the option to react to it), the game also kind of implies that it's not a big deal and there's nothing wrong with it. They could've also opted to have their futuristic society be past homophobia, racism and sexism and still shown all the worst sides of humanity. People can just all treat each other like shit equally :p. As BossAttack said, if these terms actually refer to narrative themes and issues like homophobia and sexism are addressed in the story, it's fine. But if they aren't and they're just throwing these terms in as random standard swear words without any kind of reflection, I'll view that very critically.
Like "I'm cleaner than a cunt at a convent." That is hella ow-the-edge.
This is such a disingenuous read on what people are saying.
The dialogue flowed fine besides some of Jackie's lines and I really don't see the issue with the voice acting in this demo.
I seriously didn't realize that people took the change to FPS so seriously. Also, what is wrong with Deus Ex? I am curious what you were expecting from the game.
You obviously do care. I does say something about that person in the game - it could make him kind of a dick (whoops?) for using them that way - does he seem like a person who would care? Saying it has an effect, but he doesn't give a shit about it. What about all of the other characters in the game that DON'T use them in that way? Then that says something about them, no? You really think people won't use certain swear words or use them in a specific way 60 years from now? Those words have existed and been used for more than 60 years in the past.
Some of you are transparent as fuck. Like it's borderline shilling as this point.
What? Which spanish world is that? I'm from Argentina, we speak spanish, first time I heard that in my entire life. Looks like a name.
Without any hyperbole whatsoever I am saying that this is the most amazing game reveal I have EVER witnessed in all the years I've had on this earth. I have never been so immersed simply being introduced and walked through a game world before.
If they deliver here, which seems to be the case, CDPR will cement themselves as the premiere game developers in all of gaming bar none.

Nickname is V wherther you choose a male or female. Jaina is a Spanish slang for girlfriend or girl
It's not about the terms being "glorified" or "legitimized", it's about those slurs in particular feeling especially targeted at certain types of people - people who deal with more shit than the majority on account of, y'know, being the ethnic or gender or sexual minority.
It's not fun to keep hearing that shit day-in, day-out, especially when I just want to sit back and play some fuckin' video games.
Also doesn't help keep it from sounding ridiculously try-hard edgy.
As a native spanish speaker, I've always hated that (or any variaton of english+any other language), to me it doesn't feel natural and I've always saw it as a cheap/lazy way to write foreign characters. It was especially annoying in Altered Carbon, for example.
But I guess it must be an latino-american thing, because you won't find any mexican (for example) speaking english throwing random spanish words just for the sake of it.
Step 1: Turn on CA
Step 2: Turn off motion blur
Step 3: Max all other settings
Step 4: Cry when it doesn't run 60fps on my rig
"Weak shit" just doesn't have the same impact or rolls of the tongue as well as "dick" or "cunt", it's not as short or sharp [like most swear words are]. Maybe calling them "fucks" would work better, but that would got old pretty quickly (I do think they should diversify a bit those "cunts" flying everywhere though).
And I'll take real world swear words like "shit" over made-up "shtako" (example from defiance, but there's more equally bad examples) any day of the goddman week.
That was hella cringy. xD
Yeah witcher 3's check was basically did you level up 1 tier of Axii, 2 or 3? And if you did you basically had an instant "I win" button in dialogue that didn't really change anything, at best it let you avoid a combat scenario. That's probably the thing most devs miss the point on with skill checks, they use it as a get out of combat switch and that's it. That's fine and all but people need to understand that's the most basic level of skill check possible, it's not going to impress veterans of the crpg/wrpg genre. Most don't tie the skill system (if they even have one, most modern games don't) into the core of the game but when CDPR announced that cyberpunk was going to have a skill system my mind immediately jumped to new vegas and I got excited. Maybe that's my fault for expecting too much, but it really should be the gold standard of which RPG makers strive for in a modern RPG.
I mean I get if you don't like it, but that's literally the point.
