I hoped for a better graphics :( The initial trailers were more life-like.

#32The Witcher 3 and its expansions are probably my favorite game of all times, and I've been gaming voraciously since the late 80s. The story, the connection to the characters, the feeling of immersion into the world, and the character of Geralt himself are not something I've seen in many other titles. Somewhat reminiscent of Final Fantasy 7 in terms of its impact on me as a participant to the experience. The pressure…
Do I need to play Witcher 1 and 2 first?
No.

#33I'm so sad they chose a first-person view. I can't play in first-person view more than 20min without feeling nauseous. I'll have to skip the game just because of my condition… :/

#34Was looking forward to this till I heard it was first person perspective. Just can't play first person games on console with a controller. Lost all interest in it now.
it will also be on PC.

#35It doesn’t have enoigh rain to really feel cyberpunk. ... on a side note, I just realized we’re now as far away from cyberpunk in time as cyberpunk was from the golden age of sci-fi. That also feels wrong somehow.
Reasonable, but it is in LA, and the rain in Bladerunner was always unrealistic (baring unpredictable effects of climate change).

He's not half wrong - too little cyberspace internals in the trailer. Makes me wonder how this will be resolved, given that the game is based on Cyberpunk 2020, a tabletop rpg game written well before the mobile and blockchain revolutions.
Before blockchain revolutions? I don't see how the blockchain would impact 2020/2077 in any way

No sci-fi writer predicted bitcoin mining. The rulebook vaguely stated that a cyberpunk knows a few unlawful ways to get money, so should a game such as Cyberpunk 2077 include a subplot based on simply publishing images bugged with Monero-generating code (to use just one recent example)?
Also, a friend of mine has an idea that the first true unkillable AI will run inside a blockchain, and it would be economically infeasible to hack it as it would require owning more than 50% of its infrastructure. But that's still sci-fi.

Diamond age had a distributed tuple space, which was kind of similar in effect, enclaves that made their living off of work their computers did for digital pay.

Not at all, I tried to get into 1 and couldn't, it was too rough around the edges for me. 2 was much better, but I got distracted a few hours in. 3 felt like a completely different universe quality-wise.
Could you be more specific? My girlfriend loves 1, and says 2 was a major step down for her in gameplay.
1 and 2 are frequently sold at heavy discount so I already bought them both. I haven't gotten to try 1 yet as it doesn't have a Linux version.

Of course, the standout thing about cryptocoin by comparison is that there's no real useful work resulting from all the absurd amounts of electricity being used to mine it.
