Cyberpunk 2077 After 30 Hours - Impressions

Thank you Ben! I am now buying this on PC to play on GeForce Now. I only have a PS4 Pro. I’m to scared to see what it’ll be like on it...

As a patron of Easy Allies, I'm glad that they stick to the nitty-gritty of the game itself. That's the info I want to know. Kotaku and Polygon mentioned something, fine. That doesn't mean everyone else has to.

The impressions these views give me put this somewhere in the ballpark of Fallout: New Vegas from what I can tell. Well-realised world, great characters, plenty of choice when it comes to approach to mission solutions, but bogged down by bugs and technical hiccups. The great thing I suppose is that bugs can be fixed while a poorly written or directed game can't be just patched into being a better game, so even if it's rough at launch this is hopefully going to be a great experience. Pleased to hear the experience has been mostly positive, even with some occasionally glaring faults. As someone who runs a Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop group and has a good handle on the lore I'm greatly looking forward to this.

I don't post very often, but as a trans patron, I just wanted to express my disappointment that issues of sexism, transphobia, and general representation of marginalized communities were not even motioned toward in this conversation. I don't expect y'all to notice everything, or step too deep into conversations you may not feel fully equipped to handle (I know y'all are empathetic folks who are willing to learn, change, and grow), but you have in the past shown a recognition of CDPR's marketing and PR which have felt borderline antagonistic toward the trans community, so the least I was hoping for was a "Hey, CDPR has had these issues in the past and though I didn't notice any problems in my playthrough, please seek out impressions from trans reviewers". Multiple reviews by trans folk are already out and speak to these issues so I'd definitely recommend checking them out! One last recommendation would be the pinned thread on resetera, "CDPR is a transphobic company" it's very helpful at laying it all out plainly. I hope this didn't come across too aggressive, like I said I know y'all are good people, I'm just hoping to help everyone be just a little better "allies". :)

Guys where is the discussion about sexism, transphobia, and over sexualization accusations? This is really disappointing. Expected more from you guys on this front. Polygon and Gamestop did a much better job at this. Lot of the negatives in general were brushed aside from game being buggy. Disappointing. If you were not aware of these issues, I hope you at least look into it moving forward. Let us really be 'allies' of all gamers.

Awesome! I find these way more entertaining/useful than the formal reviews. Hope you guys get a nice cyberpunk-bump!
