The article that S0ul posted also pointed to some very questionable things that CDPR had said on social media.

#

It seems to me that people aren’t as ready to pass it off as surface level because of a couple of transphobic things the company has said.

@austere lance The problem with the triple treasure box is pizza hut sucks so your pizza is going to have cardboard in it and your desserts will probably have pizza grease dripped onto it.

@winter yew porygon was set up

They couldn't ban pikachu, even though its thunderbolt caused the problem, so they used porygon as a scapegoat

#

Wow, the author of that article about all the seizure-inducing stuff in CP2077 is apparently getting spammed by trolls sending GIFs of flashing lights. CDPR Stans are a whole different breed

fleet moat
#

Any type of stan is a different breed tbh. I doubt it's just specific to CDPR.

#

You gotta be a different breed to be a stan that bullies, trolls and wishes physical illness upon any human / living being. sideeye

#

And there are plenty of stans in our world that do that, regardless of what / who they stan for.

sleek cloud
#

I understand the concern for the possibility of a seizure triggering but most games have some sort flashing light in them anyway and I'm sure warnings will be placed by CDPR for those sensitive to them.

austere lance
#

Neon lights flashing in sci fi is normal, designing the brain-dance stuff to act like an exact replica of the machines doctors use irl to purposefully set off seizures is not

#

It's dead-on an exact replica of the red and white lights or whatever the colors are to induce seizures

fleet moat
#

I concur that CDPR will likely have to add the warnings if they haven't already. I'm surprised they haven't. But I haven't played the game to know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

sleek cloud
#

no i understand that is taking things a bit too far. Hopefully there's an option to tone it down

austere lance
#

As of now there's not

silver sparrow

Isn't there a launch patch for it already?

#

will be day 1

silver sparrow
#

oof

#

game-sized patch

sleek cloud
#

gonna be a loooong couple of night shifts

fleet moat
#

I wish ppl would just let games release at their own due time (yes, even if delayed). I honestly don't get modern day "must have it now" mentality, even if it's not patched. So they can then complain about how buggy it is? blobconfused

sleek cloud
#

as far I've seen/read in terms of bugs is they're mostly visual, nothing game breaking as of yet.

maybe this 40gb patch will iron out a lot of these bugs

I hope so. But still, I do expect bugs. It's a brand new product. And devs are humans. And like you said, there are a lot of systems / variables at play, especially including the new gen consoles. PikachuShocked

So cool it'll be available to play tomorrow night though, right? Before the 10th blobgrin

#

9pm ET iirc based on map Malarky shared yesterday ablobthinking

dry copper
#

I checked to see if the game was checking the date using my computer (by changing the date to the 10th). It's not.

#

It must have a countdown built in.

#

Or some initial internet connectivity

#

Like an authentication sequence

#

Hopefully that's not going to be a requirement to play...It is single player. Internet connectivity is a big no-no

fleet moat
#

Prob basic internet connectivity to authenticate.

i don’t mind basic or even lousy combat

#

for CP

bronze wind
#

Yeah I'm not that upset by it, just sorta waiting to see how many psychos are hugely let down lol

willow crypt
#

prolly a lot

bronze wind
#

Yep

#

The seizure shit is serious though. They really need to have modified that before release

#

There are disclaimers on boxed copies like every other video game but apparently no in game warning or way to toggle it

willow crypt
#

didn’t know about that

bronze wind
#

Aside from literal psychopaths sending the blinking lights on purpose it's still just a bad thing that shouldn't have ever passed cert

full pivot
#

no in game warning that's fucked up

#

i was asking about that earlier

#

and yeah have a warning and then make it skippable at least

willow crypt
#

must’ve been an oversight

fleet moat
bronze wind
#

Much larger scale here

fleet moat
#

I mean, Sean Murray and his team received death threats.

#

Oh and the journalist who first broke the news about the NMS delay.

tiny otter
#

People just like to send death threats and it’s just sickening

fleet moat
#

Psychos abound across the world. And they congregate in greater numbers when they can hide in online social media.

tiny otter
#

That’s why a lot of celebrities hire people to sort their mail

fleet moat
#

My engrish today sucks balls.

tiny otter
#

There’s so many examples of people getting death threats, that I can’t remember a specific one

fleet moat
#

It's sad.

tiny otter
#

I think the kid who made the Fortnite anthems got death threats

fleet moat
#

Same with the swat calls. Like what happened to...who was it recently? Ubisoft?

tiny otter
#

This kid

#

I can’t remember though

#

Oh wait I remember one time when this kid who was on the kidsreacts YouTube channel got death threats because he said he didn’t like Keanu reeves

balmy plaza
#

With cyberpunk, will the day one patch drop at launch? Or could it be slightly before?

thorn dawn
#

yes

balmy plaza
#

I hope I get time to download it before launch

fleet moat
#

Patch I mean.

bronze wind
#

that's differnt from the day one

austere lance
#

They're adding a new seizure warning

bronze wind
#

Glad they're going to add an actual permanent solution. Strange it wasn't there to begin with and that it got passed cert

thorn dawn
#

the article is er

#

"During my time with Cyberpunk 2077, I suffered one major seizure and felt several moments where I was close to another one. I kept going because I made that decision to"

#

... has her doctor neglected to mention to her grand mal seizures can be fatal?

#

Sounds like a bit of a risk just for a video game

bronze wind
#

yeah i mean definitely not a good judgement call to keep going lol

#

valid concern obviously but not a valid risk to take imo

austere lance
#

After 27 hours I finally hit 50% completion in Andromeda, LMAO

thorn dawn
#

I mean I haven't seen the game, but I'm also not convinced that it's as big an issue as people are making out

#

Epilepsy full stop is rare, and photosensitive epilepsy is rare even out of that group

#

The standing advice is, don't play video games, because it's not worth your damn life

bronze wind
#

It's an issue and I'm glad they're fixing it, don't really need to try and figure out how "large" the issue is in order to discuss it

thorn dawn
#

Well here's the thing zoid, what they've described isn't a typical trigger either

charred badge
#

I'm still baffled that nobody looked at "Hey, these ingame characters use goggles that trigger seizures" and thought "maybe we shouldn't display the effect that causes seizures"

thorn dawn
#

photosensitive epilepsy normally triggers in the 3-30 hertz range

#

I have a strong feeling that it's a combination of, there being a genuine scene with a problematic sequence

#

and zomg flashing lights

charred badge
#

30fps is not unusual

thorn dawn
#

not 30fps

#

30 hz, repeating sequence

bronze wind
#

That's up to you, seems pointless to try and immediately diminish this persons experience based on assumptions you're making though

#

They were clearly triggered by something and posting warnings/PSAs is only helpful, not harmful. Except for the case where people took it as some condemnation and used it as an excuse to harass those reporting it

austere lance
thorn dawn
#

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking is the problematic scene

bronze wind
#

Well yeah, they said it is lol

#

That's all the article was saying, not "the entire game is a horrible trigger and the devs intended this"

thorn dawn
#

I didn't say it was?

bronze wind
#

Just warning people and then psychotic fans decided to make it a big deal

thorn dawn
#

I mean you seem to be arguing against things I haven't said

bronze wind
#

Well I'm not sure what you're trying to say

fleet moat
thorn dawn
#

I'm saying the internet is probably blowing things out of proportion as usual

#

and no one is going to have their brain melted

austere lance
#

The devs gave no in-game warning that they had put something that replicates irl seizure-inducing machines into the game @thorn dawn

bronze wind
#

I personally trust someone with epilepsy about experiences with epilepsy but yes there are varying degrees to everything

fleet moat
#

It may be wiser to just stop an argument over assumptions from either side tbh.

bronze wind
#

I'm not treating it as an assumption, I'm just reading someones actual experience and noticing warnings

thorn dawn
#

@austere lance it assumes they knew, it just sounds like a VR headset

charred badge
fleet moat
#

No one in this discussion is the sufferer or someone who's played the game. So it's impossible for anyone here to gauge how serious the issue is (or not).

austere lance
#

They had to have known, they copied the exact patterns and lights

bronze wind
#

Sure but I'm just basing my opinion on the actual sufferer lol

thorn dawn
#

Did they?

bronze wind
#

I'm not saying they maliciously placed blinking lights, that would be dumb. I just think there should've been more rigorous checks around things like that and more of a warning, which is thankfully something they're now doing

fleet moat
#

I just want the "argument" to slow down before it gets out of hand. Since I know how passionate some "debates" get around the interwebz. sideeye

austere lance
#

Like, they didn't just put random lights. They used the exact red and white flashing patterns used by doctors

thorn dawn
#

Again, did they?

fleet moat
#

Soooooo

#

In other news.

bronze wind
#

It was close enough tohave been a trigger for someone so it doesn't matter if it's "exact"

#

It's just a warning

austere lance
#

"If not modeled off the IRL design, it's a very spot-on coincidence"

thorn dawn
#

Well it does matter

#

one would be criminal

#

one isn't

bronze wind
#

Of course but that would be a wild stretch to make

#

the ones arguing criminality are talking about the psycho fans though, not the game

#

I'm a DJ in Destiny.

#

willow crypt
#

ahh...I remember taking down an Eidelon in Destiny 2 using a BFG

fleet moat
thorn dawn
#

The choice you're asking to make is that someone deliberately implemented a device to intentionally induce seizures in a video game. Or, they modelled a VR headset and made it flash.

#

I think it's the latter.

charred badge
#

no decks

bronze wind
#

I'm not making that assumption personally. Some might be but it's a minority

austere lance
#

*flash in specific patterns

charred badge
thorn dawn
#

Which pattern soul?

#

I mean, there are multiple different types of photosensitive epilepsy

#

so which type did they target?

austere lance
#

Red and white in rapid sequence

bronze wind
#

My assumption is they just didn't do great due diligence for this type of thing which isn't criminal of course but sucks for those who might have been unaware of it ahead of time due to lack of in game warnings

austere lance
#

Red and white blinking lights in rapid sequence, my bad

charred badge
#

exactly

bronze wind
#

And I'm glad they're fixing it but it's a valid criticism and the reaction to the very valid criticism/warning (followed by a link to their 9/10 review btw) was disgusting and unfortunately really typical for a lot of the online gaming community

charred badge
#

this seems like a case of not having someone on that part of the game with a bit of common sense

bronze wind
#

I think at worst it's someone designing a sequence and having zero knowledge of epilepsy triggers, which is valid but would have been nice if they delayed the game more to do passes for accessibility things like this

wide kestrel
bronze wind
#

Like the general consensus in reviews (pre day one patch of course) is that it seems rushed and would have benefitted from more time in the oven. I think that unfortunately applies in this situation as well and I'm glad this person brought it up early rather than assuming it was an isolated problem, so they can either add a mode for it or just alter the sequence a bit with some input from someone with knowledge

thorn dawn
#

@bronze wind they do. Game developers will ship footage to check for this. It's not perfect, but games should be checked as part of the QA process for problematic sequences.

bronze wind
#

Yeah that's what I mean

thorn dawn
#

UK broadcast TV goes through the same process.

bronze wind
#

I think it's just a result of a rushed process similar to the other issues reviewers have been pointing out

#

Seems more likely to me, it happens, unfortunately in this case it caused medical issues for someone but I don't think it was intentional lol

austere lance
#

It's pretty bad if the guy was using a filter to help with stuff like this and still got a seizure, imagine how bad it is for unaware people who took zero precautions

thorn dawn
#

That's not really how it works.

bronze wind
#

Ok

#

Well they are adding warnings and hopefully implementing a working fix which is good

#

Thanks to the feedback from this person

thorn dawn
#

There aren't precautions you can take to avoid a seizure, and they're not instant either.

#

There's a build up called the aura, that suffers will recognise, even if they're unable to respond to it

charred badge
#

All about avoidance

thorn dawn
#

Yup

charred badge
#

I imagine a software filter could be done

#

something that detects that type of light pattern and either proactively blocks it out or stops everything

austere lance
#

Or just put a warning in your game besides the one in the friggin EULA

bronze wind
#

They are now thankfully

#

Just shouldn't have been rushed out

thorn dawn
#

It's tricky, because it's not just the flashing in the majority of cases. It has to be flashing and motion - vertical or horizontal scrolling stripes are two of the most common triggers

austere lance
#

Takes five seconds to add the standard seizures warning during boot-up that tons of games have

thorn dawn
#

swing a camera past a fence illuminated by car headlights too quick, and you've got an epilepsy trigger

dry copper
#

If there's no seizure warning at the start of the game, there will be legal issues

austere lance
#

@dry copper It's in the EULA nobody reads cuz it's basically the Terms and Agreements thing

bronze wind
#

Eh they're probably pretty covered by that legally. Just would be nice to have a mode for it or something if it is an issue.

cinder vessel
dry copper
#

I don't know a single game with a seizure warning only in the EULA.

bronze wind
#

For sure, they definitely did that, but clearly it was rushed

#

imo at least

cinder vessel
#

i don't think i've seen epilepsy warnings in EULAs, used to it was within the cover of physical manuals, but after that...I don't know where you see it anymore.

Often a splash screen during logos?

dry copper
#

yes

thorn dawn
#

Most games don't have them tbh

#

Or it's in the manual

bronze wind
#

There's a sticker on the box on the back that has it

dry copper
#

It's typically a skippable splash screen warning somewhere

thorn dawn
#

Standing advice to photosensitive epileptics is don't do vidya

dry copper
#

lol...I just had a really mean thought. A splash screen that causes seizures warning about seizures

cinder vessel
#

For more severe games it's a splash screen, like I'd suspect Beat Saber might have it

bronze wind
#

yeah probably

#

I wouldn't expect it on every game

#

CP was a game I would've expected it for though lol

cinder vessel
#

I think Rez Infinite does

dry copper
#

Have you played trhe game and can confirm there's no epil splash screen?

cinder vessel
#

Tbh I hadn't followed CP enough to even know they had such flashy screens

thorn dawn
#

found it

cinder vessel
#

I thought it was just the usual ol' here's some neon all over

#

neon sweat, neon veins, neon piss

thorn dawn

Welcome to the future. For some reason, in the future neon pink isn't horrible. 80s hair styles are back and everyone is magically more comfortable in skin tight leather.

#

Welcome to the 80s

austere lance
#

Ubi games usually have seizure warnings when you boot the game up and it's doing the splash screens showing the studios and engine and whatnot

#

Actually that's where I see the warnings for any game I've played that has em

This is really good

just wait

I just kinda wish the movie was as good

No spoilers, but it was just plain bad

so I've heard

Song is great tho

daring spear

has nothing to do with the live action (obviously) so Idk why he used that pic lol

i really wanted to see what was behind the locked door behind this bot and i uhhh didn't take the description text seriously enough 😅

coarse swift

This does not seem like the type of place to sell a product.

#

Let alone, resell.

daring spear
#

This is not the place to be selling this

cinder vessel

lol

i forgot how much of an underdog position they throw you in in Bionic Dues 😬

"take on a robot army with 4 remote exomechs, nbd"
"btw did we mention some of the bots are OP"

quickly realize this as soon as a bot comes within range and one hit kills one of your mechs 😱

Updating Cyberpunk 2077 with a 28gig update

#

I wonder if this is the day one patch

full pivot
#

Maybe ill be able to download it by xmas lol

dry copper
#

I wonder if I'll still have a timelock on it after this update....

keen dome
dry copper
#

Yep.

full pivot
#

And it may actually be more focused on those issues that are really big rn

dry copper
#

Updating on GOG

keen dome
#

ooh, I used steam

dry copper
#

I used Galaxy

full pivot
#

Sounded like they're rushing to fix the epilepsy part for sure

dry copper
#

That would be cool.

full pivot
#

One can only hope and then maybe ill ease up on my criticism of their fans

dry copper
#

Nah, ya won't 😉

#

Criticism is good. It's like the spice in curry.

#

I had chicken shawarma for dinner tonight. It was fantastic.

#

Granted it's 3:30am right now....I mean last night (I guess)

full pivot
#

I just like to focus on the people who try to pretend their game company isnt a game company and theyre "different"

dry copper
#

CDPR is a toilet paper manufacturer. Wdym

#

I'm wipe my arse with CDPR later today

full pivot
#

Also the people who whine about delays and then complain about bugs

#

The gaming community does share in some responsibility for how games are right now and since they won't accept that its not gonna get better

#

As far as the developer and publisher; its a business

#

And being as such its not difficult to manipulate them to do things a certain way

dry copper
#

I remember when people were so hot and horny about talking with their wallets against games as a service.

#

That lasted a whole ....month?

#

(if that)

coarse swift
#

Because it doesn't work

#

"Just dont buy it"
"Talk with your wallet"

#

Means nothing when whales feed the share you would've paid

dry copper
#

and as long as whales exist to eat all of the services, they'll keep coming. I seriously thought we were getting somewhere when countries started banning loot boxes.

full pivot
#

EA created a non loot box Star Wars game.

dry copper
#

Now it's gotten to a point that doesn't even work and countries that should be on the front against exploiting children are on the front feeding them addictions

full pivot
#

The end.

dry copper
#

and at the end of the day, they say..."Well you should be watching your kids"

coarse swift
#

Sure wish I had that kinda money to blow, ngl

#

But if I did, I'd be spending it better anyways

dry copper
#

I hope that cyberpunk at least tries to be somewhat educational in its presentation. I like science fiction fantasy, but I also enjoy learning about something I can apply in the real world.

#

I was thinking as I was studying for my medical procedures exam, "this would be great to have in a game"

#

Just the practices demonstrated to absorb passively

#

Or the tools used in a medical profession shown in the game

#

Really, I was just trying to imagine all of the ways I could learn things I could use today, in a game.

#

Weird music. It's stuck in my head now.

#

I just wanna have fun when I play it; I'm not looking for deep experiences from videogames even if they're nice once in a while

I just want to get out of my head for a while.

i sometimes like playing games that aren’t too deep, but when i try to play one that is deeper and heavily story driven and i’m wanting something more lighthearted and just fun, it does not work.

just feel indifferent at those times

Started cyberpunk

balmy plaza
#

Aside from a few visual bugs and a bad texture here and there really enjoying it

#

Maybe liking NMS prepared me for it lol

raven frost

oh shit cyberpunk goes live today fuckin uhhhh

welp glad I can't walk

i've been watching a bit of it on Twitch and it looks really good

ahhh wish i didn't have work tonight

there's already nearly 1m viewers watching on Twitch

#

and it's not out to everyone yet

balmy plaza

On xbox one x

#

Runs surprisingly well

full pivot
#

Just like NMS getting released on steam last prolly, the race to avoid spoilers

#

I'm used to this 😛

sleek cloud
#

ye i'm gonna watch a bit then turn off and try and avoid spoilers at all costs

#

more curious of just the raw gameplay and i'm certainly not disappointed yet

full pivot
#

I just don't want to be coloured by stuff its why I don't watch prerelease stuff from games either save an announcement trailer or something

sleek cloud
#

ye i blame ubisoft for that

full pivot
#

I blame.... Maxis

balmy plaza
#

It gives me a slight Bethesda game meets witcher vibe

#

Which is like perfect for me

sleek cloud
#

also reminds of Borderlands a bit

#

especially the gunplay

full pivot
#

Sims 2 and Spore prerelease were absolutely horrible

#

The final games were nothing like them

sleek cloud

i wish they did a 2nd Spore, i actually really like it

The final games were nothing like them

sleek cloud

ye it could've been so much more

Just saying it was an awful development cycle

silver sparrow
#

i saw parts of deus ex and parts of hitman in there 😄

Deus ex doesn't surprise me one bit

sleek cloud

i'm interested in seeing the whole badlands part of the game as well

balmy plaza

Same

#

It looks gorgeous

sleek cloud
#

haven't seen many bugs yet

#

just 1 where he couldn't loot something and a couple of visual bugs like objects suddenly disappearing

silver sparrow
#

i tried to watch shroud but he was stuck in game options screens so i scooted

sleek cloud
#

watching a bit of Cohh

bronze wind
#

i popped into xQc's just cause I knew he'd be doing dumb stuff

#

he ran by a woman and she got scared for no reason and ran away from him saying "somebody stop him" then he ran after her and punched her a bunch of times and nothing happened

sleek cloud
#

hah

#

surprised to see so many kids in the game

silver sparrow

small NPCs

sleek cloud

what path are you guys choosing? ie street kid, corpo or nomad

corpo

willow crypt
#

finally watching The Walking Dead season 10. i noticed they’ve seemed to take some inspiration from the last of us for a zombie and some weaponry

#

the show is still good, despite it having been going on for so long

#

seasons probably could be shorter, but they’re good at character development and that’s what makes us care about them

#

and why it especially sucks when people die off

austere lance

I quit after Negan showed up

silver sparrow

lol

s1e5

willow crypt
#

i preferred when the group was smaller

#

but it’s interesting to see how things would progress after many years, which is what they do

silver sparrow
#

i never watched it but it looked like it got sprawling, like Lost

willow crypt
#

at times yeah

#

though it doesn’t really leave so many unanswered questions like Lost does

winter yew
#

The season with the whisperers was pretty interesting but how they have handled Judith Grimes has been a joke

willow crypt
#

she’s very powerful for her size

winter yew
#

True

charred badge
#

Oh, did they finally show a settlement that wasn't run by a tyrant or cannibals or just nuts?

winter yew
#

Well the Whisperers weren’t cannibals as far as I know

#

They just hide among the dead by wearing their skin

#

And destroyed communities they found living ‘normal lives’ in homes and whatnot, because they believed that way of living was in the past

austere lance
#

Time to try out Monster Sanctuary

bronze wind
#

it looked neat

#

been replaying DQXI

dry copper
#

I'm starting to get irritated by the file updates of Cyberpunk

#

Third time this game has gone and updated. Now it's another 9 gigs

#

on top of that, windows wants to update.....

#

god damn it

glass plinth
#

it should peak out around 150gb

#

With expansions

#

maybe 200

#

I mean thats fairly typical of larger sandpark worlds

bronze wind
#

I don't think it's increasing the size of the game every time, I think it's just updates to existing files

glass plinth
#

At this point

bronze wind
#

It's bug fixes, not new content

glass plinth
#

I mean, we knew it would be 100gbish

#

50ish start, 50 patch

bronze wind
#

that patch isn't additive is what I'm saying

glass plinth
#

So I aimed a bit above when emptying my drive

bronze wind
#

It might add a little bit but it's not 50 + 50

#

it's replacing probably a decent amount of the existing 50 and then adding a little probably

glass plinth
#

Well I mean that is literally what they said the first day one patch would be

#

raising the total to 100gb

#

I can pull that up if you want.

bronze wind
#

total download but not game size, unless that's explicitly what they said

#

like if you preloaded you'd be downloading multiple times

glass plinth
#

yeah, thats what they said, if they missaid, well, they could have

bronze wind
#

if you wait a day you just download once lol

glass plinth
#

True

#

Although, tonight when Im home, ill just download the patch

#

be done for now

#

I doubt ill be playing much for now anyways

#

I need to do DOMESTIC stuff

dry copper
#

I expect to have about 70 gigs with all the patches and updates applied.

#

Are you a domestic do-erist?

glass plinth
#

I always figure on 150 end total. Most of the games I play are that large.

#

Im cleaning

#

Lol

#

I want this house spotless for the landlord when I leave

#

I geniunely care

dry copper
#

Oh great. A home grown domestic do-erist

#

I don't play games over 100 gigs.

#

I think the last time I did was GTA and I uninstalled it.

#

The space became more valuable than the game

#

Watch you come to find out CDPR are trolling people trying to install early by releasing patch after patch after patch

glass plinth
#

My ark , 320gb

#

My kerbals

#

190

#

A bunch of others.

charred badge
#

Or simply shipping the prerelease in a bad state to discourage piracy

glass plinth
#

I generally play extremely modified games

bronze wind
#

I highly doubt prerelease was shipped in the state it was in to discourage piracy lol

charred badge
#

I'm sure that happens though

bronze wind

Would be a pretty ignorant way to handle it

i wouldn't be surprised if there is a Ciri easter egg

or a ciri-like npc

Im really working out the storyline for my Corpo now in my head. I have some great ideas.

Monster Sanctuary is fun so far, defo recommend

glass plinth
#

?

austere lance
#

It's a better Pokémon-like game than anything Nintendo has made in the last 13 years, LMAO

glass plinth
#

I never played pokemon, but it looks nice

#

It wasnt really a game that existed when I was a kid.

#

I think by the time Pokemon hit the US shores, I was around 17

austere lance

So by then, Id progressed substantially into my Literary era. I mostly would play simcity, read books, write books and do art.

i have never seen 1 mil viewers on twitch for a game before

#

Not many do though

Oddworld Discord is losing it rn, LMAO

glass plinth

Lol I bet

cinder vessel
#

"it's finally happening!" and such i imagine

glass plinth
#

Man, watching some of the cyberpunk twitch streams, fricking hell some of the storyline dialouge is good past where I got

#

At one point this guy makes a mistake and realizes who is the bad guy and you can see his face literally twist in agony.

#

That was great

austere lance
#

@cinder vessel That server is full of salty af fans cuz the devs rarely give any news on the game, they've gotten that tweet and a new gameplay GIF in the last two days and they're going wild 😆

#

They went from no news to new stuff every day, lol

glass plinth
#

We certainly remember salty days here

#

😛

#

Its great when a community gets some good news

#

Rebirths are awesome

cinder vessel
#

until the rebirth results in a questionable version of things

glass plinth
#

Eh

#

I mean that depends on the devs I suppose

#

We hit some hitches in the nms community, overall though it was decent past a point

#

Alot better since last update though

#

Man, that was stimulating

cinder vessel
#

like even thinking of the Spyro remakes and some character design changes it's like, but why?

austere lance
#

I still need to finish those, lol

cinder vessel
#

i still stand by the position that remakes, especially of older games, should strive to include ports of the originals. if not include ports of originals at initial release, then down the line in like a Definitive Edition or something

#

That way you can better see what changed between them, and appreciate the original on its own merits

austere lance
#

Soulstorm is gonna be cool cuz it's basically the version of Abe's Exodus that Lorne Lanning always had in his head, it's just now he finally has the tech to make it true to his dream

cinder vessel
#

I just wonder how much they can separate it from being "just another" remake, to ensure it sells well

#

Ngl I still haven't picked up New'n'Tasty because to the best of my knowledge it's not that different from Oddysee, and I already finished that game

It's entertaining revisiting planets in Andromeda that you fixed the atmosphere for

glass plinth
#

You ever try the mods for Andromeda?

#

Some of them really bring the game up a notch

dry copper
#

Though it's been hours since my last post...and I just came back to the computer, so I don't know how long it's been sitting at 92%.

#

They may have the tail end of the patch not even available yet

glass plinth
#

Its not that the download takes long, so much as the file unpacking has a built in integrity check

dry copper
#

Clever way to timelock

glass plinth
#

that takes forever

#

You can actually skip the integrity check, but to be honest, that means youll bork the installation half the time

#

Steam SUCKS at doing things right the first try

dry copper
#

Is yours patched already?

#

I'm on GOG

glass plinth
#

No no, Im at work

#

Ill do it as soon as Im home.

#

I own on steam

#

launch with gog

#

Get all the goodies, from steam and gog

#

I wanted the black unicorn hehe

dry copper
#

black unicorn?

#

There are horses?

glass plinth
#

You get a katana from gog

dry copper
#

Oh.

glass plinth
#

Called the black unicorn

#

Its lovely

dry copper
#

It bothers me that this is sitting on 92% and not moving. I have no idea if it's still patching, shit the code or what. I am used to seeing some indication of progress.

#

Like a timer.

glass plinth
#

Cant say, I use steam with a download manager I plugged into steam

#

So i dont seewhat you see

#

Frankly, steam has some serious issues with the way they handle data on downloads.

#

The issue is corruptions are rampant.

dry copper
#

lol

glass plinth
#

You could download twice as fast if it wasnt so bad.

#

Ha

#

Yeah, just a case of CDPR not having good process oversight.

#

Great programmers, poor coordinators

dry copper
#

lol@people getting pissed at controversy IN the game

#

Like...seriously.

glass plinth
#

People are divisive

#

Its our nature now.

dry copper
#

No

#

That's a learned behavior

glass plinth
#

I agree.

#

Its also the general norm

dry copper
#

Not here.

glass plinth
#

I wasnt saying we are always divisive.

#

Im just saying, as a norm, world wide, its increasing.

#

here, stateside, all but total.

dry copper
#

Being divisive seems to be something born of internet anonymity and distance

glass plinth
#

Aye

dry copper
#

It reminds me of the bystander effect, but hyped up to a million

glass plinth
#

Its going to be a norm. For the rest of human history , in its current state.

#

It could get much worse

#

Or change.

#

We just dont know.

dry copper
#

People who are aware of the state don't as easily fall prey to it.

glass plinth
#

Hrmm

#

Do psychological studies support that?

#

Im not sure thats the case

#

Hrmm, wait, did my landlady stick some cinnamon rolls in my work bag as a surprise, FUCK YEAH!

#

brb, heating them up

dry copper
#

For instance, the bystander effect in psychology says the more bystanders there are, the less likely someone in a catastrophe will survive because nobody helps...However, trained personnel in the mix take charge regardless

#

The bystander effect occurs when the sense of responsibility gets watered down by the numbers. Rescuers however have a sense of responsibility regardless of the numbers and will go out of their way to help.

silver sparrow
#

who has a landlady that cooks for them, are you sherlock holmes????

dry copper
#

Nah he lives in a commune.

#

They're all lovey and shit

Something like that

i KNEW he was a commie bastard and now i have proof...the rolls!!!!!

commie?

commie rolls tbh

Jahnri got it for the landlord.

ok comrade where is my hammer and sickle i am signing up...for the rolls

glass plinth
#

Had a electrican over one time

He repairs a light and such.

This happens almost every repairman lol

So I was watching a historical cooking show and the guy made Indian Rice Pudding. Bar none the best reaction Ive ever seen him make when he tasted it

he was so happy he about cried. The recipe was pretty damned good too.

So my wife's old phone went to shit and bestbuy gave us 122 in store credit.(we had the protection plan). She wants Cp2077 but wants to wait to see what it's like when we get home. Any other xbox 1 games she should look at?

dry copper
#

Update complete. Game ready to play (allegedly)

#

Now to do this windows update

#

Pls don't require a system restore and make me redownload this monster, Windows.

cinder vessel
#

😬

#

the odd situation where I'd honestly recommend having games installed to a separate drive tbh

dry copper
#

They are. I'm kidding.

#

My games are on a drive other than windows.

cinder vessel
#

oh 😌

dry copper
#

One day I'm going to upgrade to a 2TB SSD

#

When I can afford it.

cinder vessel
#

one day, i'd like to do that too

dry copper
#

Annoying. I see no option to update GOG...It might have an auto update feature like steam when you run it. When I went to finish updating CP77, it prompted a GOG update and I was like...NOPE...

#

Not until CP77 is done.

#

Well this is nice

#

I wish syncing with GOG meant you could claim steam games on GOG instead of requiring steam to run them still.

cinder vessel
#

If the game in question isn't using Steam DRM, you should be able to.

#

Umurangi Generation is currently only sold through Steam but I run it through GOG Galaxy

#

Although, maybe I'm misunderstanding how you mean that

dry copper
#

I meant for the purpose of dropping steam like a steamy hot turd.

#

The only thing keeping me with steam are the sheer number of titles I have purchased on the storefront.

cinder vessel
#

Mm, then yeah, like I said, so long as the game isn't using Steam as DRM, you should be able to. The only remaining dependency would be for download/install

glass plinth
#

The only issue with steam games being claimed in GoG is many steam games dont include keys

#

those which do, are a simple work around

#

Frankly gog galaxy may become a primary app for me

#

I rather like it

#

Though Ill be only logging into Cyberpunk through gog for the goodies

#

So many goodies

Yeah it's stuff like boarderlands, skyrim, fallout, terraria, stardew

OK! heading home from work!

raven frost
#

hey I don't know how long this fix is gonna last but if you're still seeing the play button greyed out for CP2077 just restart your steam client

balmy plaza
#

I think I'm in love with it

fleet moat
# balmy plaza I think I'm in love with it

That's wonderful! I have a feeling I'll have zero disappointments. I just wanna wait for Xbox One reviews to make sure it works and isn't overwhelmingly buggy. How do the shoot mechanics feel? And moving around?

cinder vessel
#

just watchin' GiantBomb's quick look of it atm

austere lance
broken prairie
#

Yeah, overhyped

#

I like to underhype myself

#

then I have the patience to wait for fixes

austere lance
#

They all immediately tried playing and obviously they're having some wee issues 😆

broken prairie
#

Yeah

cinder vessel
#

did people just...forget the Witcher 3 being really jank?

keen dome
#

Well and was this before any patches?

broken prairie
#

Didnt the game go live today on steam

cinder vessel
#

I think for some it went live today yeah

#

Like even just now

keen dome
#

wtf is the Red Launcher?

broken prairie
#

Burh key to immortality, you have to beat the story for multiplayer with respawns spoggers

cinder vessel
#

Someone posted up the release schedule thing a bit ago

broken prairie
#

yeah it came out on steam where i am like 30 minutes ago

keen dome
#

here we go, hype!

cinder vessel
#

okay so realtalk here, how does anyone get excited by stat improvements that are literally +1 or +5%

#

like, i'm not great at math, but that's some minimal improvement

#

i don't understand why stat boosts like that are a thing in any game, lol

dry copper
#

241mb update cyberpunk hmm

#

@cinder vessel A small stat increase to over-all damage (for example) can increase damage per second by a lot

cinder vessel
#

looking at CP2077 quick look and for Reflexes it's like, "Increase crit chance by +1%", lmao

#

passive evasion improvement of +1%

dry copper
#

There is more than that skill to increase crit

#

We're talking gear as well

cinder vessel
#

I'm sure, it's just so so 😴

dry copper
#

They're probably looking at it as a system of stats

cinder vessel
#

And that's my mindset towards any game that does this, so don't think I'm just raggin' on CP2077

dry copper
#

here we go.

#

Finished updating newest patch

cinder vessel
#

It's just what I'm lookin' at right now makin' me think about it

dry copper
#

So...apparently I got a bunch of rewards.

cinder vessel
#

I think what I was playing earlier (Bionic Dues) has some similar percentage boost junk and I'm just 😴 towards it, lol

dry copper
#

Wolf school jacket, Black unicorn, Wolf School tshirt, Shupe the Troll Plushy and Galaxy tshirt

broken prairie
#

the small increases are incremental and are meant for stacking, like in valhalla once u invest into one skill u r far stronger in it, its a common theme

#

if all upgrades were like 25 or 50 percent, it would be harder to balance

#

also 1% extra crit chance can be godly depending what game it is and what crits do

cinder vessel
#

i know, game by game basis and such

austere lance
cinder vessel
#

I just feel so much more disinterested seeing percentage improvements over direct +[x] whatever. Not that that's saying much, considering I also see only stat improvements as largely uninteresting as well

#

ergh, twitter video compression not helping convey that at all, lol

wet warren
#

Has that person forgotten there is supposed to be a patch? Because I'm pretty sure the patch would fix something like that

fleet moat
#

Omg love your pfp blobhearteyes @wet warren

wet warren
#

Thanks. Looked pretty cool

fleet moat
#

So f'n cool!

#

I dig that Santa Astronaut

wide kestrel
wet warren
#

What makes you say I'm not a new person 👀

cinder vessel
#

So, seeing a quick look, skimming & listening to some 30+ hour takes on CP2077, and watching SkillUp's review on CP2077, pretty sure I'm good just waiting on it.

In the meantime I'm def. gonna revisit my existing cyberpunk/scifi games tho.

willow crypt
#

just watched skill ups as well

cinder vessel
#

If you're in a similar boat & would like some recommendations, feel free to hit me up.

Right away I'm gonna tell ya this year's scifi/cyberpunk game for me is Umurangi Generation.

willow crypt
#

it is a red panda tho

austere lance
dry copper
#

I'm liking the game.

#

Though I ran into a funny bug.

#

I bumped into a NPC and the NPC along with everyone in the area reacted like I punched her in the face

#

They're all cowaring.

glass plinth
#

Man, this game is good on pc

daring spear
#

Not even any image of a red panda. The one that's on mist conservation ads for them even

#

Most*

cinder vessel
#

for fun probably, lol

#

it's not a sign near the ground or anything, ya kinda have to go out of your way to find it

daring spear
#

Ah

cinder vessel
#

ngl tho i forgot they were real

daring spear
#

Lmao

cinder vessel
#

thx anime

raven frost
#

||ah yes, just found a sniper rifle on a roof, just casually, you know, as you normally do||

balmy plaza
#

Finding sniping and stealth fun

#

Now I can get more damage with the melee, the katana feels like a better skyrim

charred badge
#

stealth archer go

austere lance
#

@balmy plaza What kind of stealth is it? I've read it's like Deus Ex

sleek cloud
#

Anyone playing this on a 2080ti?

balmy plaza
#

@austere lance it's basically the usual crouching around stealth. Not like ubisoft though; there's no hiding in bushes to be invisible etc. You can use hacking to distract and soften up enemies too

#

So I guess it's a bit deus ex in that regard

#

Not seen any invisibility yet though

austere lance
#

Do you just sneak up on enemies and do executions?

balmy plaza
#

You grab them from behind

#

From there you can walk around with them, knock them out or kill them

#

If you move them to a container you can dump them as per usual stealth mechanics

#

But a lot of the time you don't need to take anyone out if you do it right

#

Or you could build around stealth damage and use a silenced pistol

glass plinth
#

pretty much

#

Man, I am just amazed how good it looks on pc

balmy plaza
#

Looks pretty OK on xbox one x too

austere lance
bronze wind
#

it's good but definitely not amazing

#

feels so boring just walking around

#

nothing to do unless you find a random group of dudes to kill for street cred

#

missions are fun but enemies are a bit too bullet spongey. I get why but they kill me faster than I can kill them most of the time lol

austere lance
#

Aren't there a billion side missions to the point where the map looks like crowded hell, lol
