Spider-Man was so fun. I need to pick up RE2
RE2 is fucking lit. It recaptures what it felt to play the original game while being completely modern.
JFO looks awesome. I'm just bummed it looks to take place pre-original trilogy.
a semi friend of mine was actually angry about cyberpunk 2077 because she thought you could customize your character... then it turned out you were just playing as some dude..
Not surprising considering the Witcher. Wonder why they thought that. I think you can never have cinematics that are quite as good with customizable characters, which is a bummer so I don't mind that too much. However, it is definitely a missed opportunity that for a game set in 2077 they went with American white dude.
You can still customise your character. The male and female shown are the default placeholder characters. Much like how Mass Effect had a default male and female Shepherd which were used for trailers and the box art.
On the surface Geralt is beefy swordsman who traipses through the countryside slaying monsters and banging over-sexualized witches. Before playing the game you wouldn't have thought any different. I don't think it's fair to say of what we've seen of what seems like the foreward to C2077, a game in which you can choose not to be a beefy boy, that the game will be anymore hyper masculine than Silver Fox He-Man. I'm sure you'll be given the choice not to bang the over-sexualized cyber prostitutes and be given plenty of moments where you can nurture a young street urchin, if that's what you're into.
I'm sure CDPR understand this, I think this feeling you're getting is more of CDPR just trying to hype up the game. Why they would show slow character building bits, when they can show cool action bits? I feel like come release, we'll see some great writing for our character.
I hope y'all are right but I don't take anything for granted and the ads have shown no subtly. Some people will give CDPR the benefit of the doubt but I'll wait to see what people have to say after they play the game.
What concerns me is that the first two Witcher games (more so the first) were pretty bad in this respect if I remember correctly. I agree that what we've seen so far has left me a little cold. On its surface, the idea of a cyberpunk game at a hopefully W3 quality should have me really excited.
