I feel like the reviews are taking issues with how certain groups aren't portrayed in a realistic or even respectful light, which is why I think it's appropriate to point out and critique. Cyberpunk is a world about transhumanism and whatnot, so for the game to view trans people primarily in an aesthetic or pornographic light, then the game doesn't do a good job at portraying them within the context of the world. There should be some nuance when depicting minority/marginalized people in a world like Night City, and CP2077's getting criticized for not doing that, and I think that's fair criticism.

Believe me big boy if this game had some underlying thesis about how trans people can only survive in a high-tech setting that requires the exploitation of subject primitive populations by an imperial center... your panties wouldn't be a pretty sight.

haha. Not representing some imaginary genders is automatically hating on them and transphobia? lol I love this
 
The review thread there is like the one here... 10/10 first... 7-6/10 bottom.
I really didn't see any issue there.


I don't believe it is real.


Oh it is one poster even said that its good the thread was removed because somebody might like the game and praise CDPR, while others are voicing opposition to why they can't talk about the biggest game release of the year.

Moderators and those who are in favor of removing it claim CDPR and the game as a whole is deeply transphobic without actually going into specifics.

Any actual gamers from Era that want to discuss Cyberpunk reviews can register here. We like everyone as long as they aren't assholes.
Era folks, you are 100% welcomed here and you most certainly don't have to be a part of some right wing circle jerk or anything like that. You will never be shut down for your opinions. Just be respectful and engaging. That's all. You're not coming to a hostile platform, here. Pull up a chair and be free.

OT: These reviews are looking fantastic considering the bugs! Looks like we have a high quality RPG on our hands. That's all I ever wanted from it.
Nah fuck that. Fuck em all. Cunts.

ERA can't keep up with which thread to lock, where to talk about what, what's okay and what isn't. Even their own members are having a meltdown at the mods for allowing ONLY discussion of trans stuff, they think it should all be banned from ever being spoken about.

It's somewhat fun to watch play out.

Does any of the review cover the following?

1. Choices, Do they have any? Do they matter at all in the story (like Obsidian Games)
2. Graphics.
3. Sound
4. RPG elements. Leveling up, Skill trees etc.
5. Gameplay. Does driving the cars suck, is shooting fun.
6. Can I roleplay into side content/exploration (like Skyrim, I had 100 hours in that game before I ever went up the fucking mountain).
Regarding your first point, one reviewer said there are significantly more endings than Witcher 3.

They will end up with a few hundred hardcore losers and they will all follow the rules on what to think on every topic. So all replies will basically be the same. Doubt whoever is raking up the ad money there will be happy with that though.

Yeah I kinda think the same, either it will eventually slowly run off everyone but a small core of people off the forum like you say, or something will trigger another epic meltdown like what happened here.

But yeah the owner of ERA bailed the fuck out a while ago and now just collect that sweet ad revenue lol

Sounds like at it's core it's going to hopefully be a game I enjoy, but the technical issues mean I'm going to probably hold off on playing it until they're fixed. And then by the time that's done it might be better to just wait for the next gen patch. All in all it sounds like it's going to be a while before I actually play this which is kinda disappointing.

I know it doesn't have that kind of commentary, but I think it's fair to point that they missed some potential by talking about those issues seriously. It would make the world feel more alive if they did something like that. Also the fact it doesn't doesn't bother me at all, btw. I just get why some reviewers take issue with it. CP2077 still looks pretty good regardless.

lmao. Did they really close the review thread over at era? What a bunch of fucking psychos.

Here is a warm welcome to all returning gaf users. This place is far harsher than it used to be back in the day but at least we are normal here.
Seems like it.

The "normal" review thread was closed and it is only allowed to talk about "how trash the homo something" in this game is.

That is absolutely garbage instance.

I was looking around, and it looks like the only review version available is the PC version. Are we aware of any reviewer reviewing the PS4 Pro/XOX version.

Gamestar went pretty detailed into your asked points. Since google translates german <-> english pretty accurately, I suggest flying over that one.

These people have their heads so far up their ass. They are letting the inmates run the asylum and now they have no idea what to do with the mess they have made.

I think the criticisms of representation are valid, be it gender or race,

They are invalid because Representation itself is a fraudulent concept.

but I don't think it should be the deciding factor in the game's review. People aren't buying this game to see how certain groups are represented,

That's not the role of fiction. It's bizarre this has to be repeated ad nauseum.
In fact, Representation directly leads to poor writing. The two are not compatible. I have explained myself at length before, so I'll leave it at that for now.

they just want to know how the RPG experience is. I think the game is pretty juvenile and immature when it comes to the representation,

For example?
Are you familiar with the lore?

People who can't fathom the fundamental difference between a fictional world set in a dystopian future and contemporary reality have no business in philosophising about fiction. People who view fiction merely as a tool to further real-life political advocacy are forever stuck in the adolescent phase of the bookshop dweller and fundamentally misunderstand what fiction is about.

Yeah you support trans rights? What the fuck does that even mean?!
It means they should not be discriminated. Laws in your country might be quite advanced but in India, their situation is quite bad. It's like they are outcast. So yes I do sympathise with them.

CDPR thread on Resetera is just made up nonsense. They are so out of touch with what real issues are it's hilarious.

That Era Meltdown, holy smokes. We all knew it was going to be a trainwreck from the get go, but this is surpassing what I was anticipating!

In any event, to the Reset folks, welcome. Speak your mind without fear of retribution.

No retribution, only humiliation and mockery.
 
Someone mentioned Yong Yea. Never heard of the dude. Watched his review. Dude managed to get me hyped as he strikes me as a non bullshitter....a straight shooter. My instincts in this regard are usually on point.

Get these bugs sorted and show me it runs more than good enough on Series X and I’M SO F*CKING THERE.

My initial impression of this game is not very good

But feck those people locking discusion because it doesnt fit their agenda

If you dont want to get involved with Cyberpunk 2077 then stay away from any C2077 page

Locking away any discusion for the game is nasty and unnaceptable

Feck those people

Really digging the supposed length honestly. Games are too long these days, 20 hour main story with lots of side content + presumably lots of replayability sounds solid to me.

That said, the mention of bugs + CDPR forcing reviewers to use prerecorded and approved footage instead of their own is a bad look.

Some of the reviews for this game are an absolute disgrace and represent all that is wrong with reviews nowadays.

There's a good way to distinguish a good reviewer from a poor one: The good reviewer reviews the game. The poor one reviews themselves and their personal ideas.

There's a good way to distinguish a good site from a poor one: The good site assigns reviews to people who are suitable to enjoy the game. The bad site assigns reviews to people who are most likely to take issue with it and harp on controversy.

This thread is more about that other shitty forum rather than the game reviews. : / ... I guess it official that the game did well.

Give it a couple of hours before everyone gets the disbelief out of their system, should be able to talk about the actual reviews then.

IGN:
"A beautiful cityscape with a staggering amount of choice (and a few too many bugs)."

And gives it a fucking 9, this is it for these hack sites. I hate to side with shitholes like Gamespot, but they let the bugs impact their final score(along with other things) but THIS is the way to do it.

Anyone with brains should no longer trust review sites based upon the glazing over of all the shitty bugs this game is filled with. This is not a SUBJECTIVE issue this is an OBJECTIVE issue, more than one reviewer has talked about the SAME BUGS, this game is BUGGY.

If this was a smaller developer, the game would have already been banned from discussion.
The reason they play this awkward dance is because they know their craziness can't overcome an industry giant.
If they tried to ban Cyberpunk it would just illustrate how far away from reality they actually are.

The last 48 hours on that site have been entertaining as hell.
