I would have said picts or gtfo, but I need a source.

Elden Ring trailer, as no one has posted it yet.

I care little about the writer FromSoftware hired, but the bosses in the trailer look interesting.

[Melusina]

Oh yeah, the writer. wording seems fitting now.

CD Projekt RED said a non-lethal run is possible in Cyberpunk 2077.

Looks like it'll be fun, if you can avoid playing with jackasses.

Yup, my CPU is from 2010, so slightly younger than yours, but not by much. Did upgrade GPU in the meantime though, because it wouldn't run The Witcher 3 at all with what was in there initially... Currently I have the impression I/O busses are starting to be a limiting factor.

 

On another note: Shenmue 3 turned on its backers and decided to go Epic exclusive despite prior promises. Another nail in Kickstarter's coffin.

In the same boat as you two. My build is late 2007/early 2008. Extremely stable motherboard/ram/cpu. Had to replace gpu/psu and recently went ssd. System is still plenty fast but obviously can't play these new games by default, which hasn't been an issue since the market has been so dull up until now. Bloodlines 2, Outer Worlds and CP 2077 - I'll be living in these worlds for years to come. Literally the only things to look forward to these miserable days.

Looks like most of us are on a same boat. I currently have i3-2100 with old gpu and GeForce GTX 760. I thought, this would be fine for few more years, due to my play preferences, but looks like CP'77 might start persuading me about possible option of upgrade.

And CDPR is facing another bout of dumbass internet drama because of this screenshot. Yaaaaaaaay.

[Mamoulian War]

Can you elaborate more? I am to much busy right now, to browse for internet drama...

[Oner]

The middle poster in the background is a drink ad for "ChroMANtiCURE" featuring a trans... uh woman? sporting an enormous boner.

And since CDPR just can't stop oppressing and demeaning trans people with their subliminal-yet-somehow-unsubtle people are unleashing their righteous fury by whining about a background texture on twitter and forums and declaring the game and company terrible, resolving never to buy it or anything else by them ever, proving yet again that their pampered first world asses have it way too good. And the internet is miffed over this.

[Lexx]

Cool. Now I preorder.

[Mamoulian War]

Ehmm... if this is a picture of a trans having a boner, where are his balls?

Isn't this just a case of someone imagining unhealthy things based on the shape of an cyberpunk augment searching for a reason to be outraged once again?

[Gfted1]

In the grimdark future of 2077, only Keanu has balls.

The family jewels aren't explicitly drawn but the shading and the way the leotard is drawn insinuates their existence.

People have good eyes, I didn't even notice any of that - but guess it'll have a net bonus, probably good amount of people will preorder to stick it to the "SJWs" or something.  

Curious to see what the specs are, wonder if my 4790/980 could hack it, but I suppose I am due for an upgrade (although thinking about it, it seems like wasting money).

[Hawke64]

They spelled "flavours" with U (i.e. used British English), while the game takes place in the US. Might be immersion-breaking, if you're paying attention or live in the US. The other issue with the ad seem to be just poor taste.

The screenshot is really high resolution, you can zoom in reeaaal close.

But of poor taste from which side? xP

Yep, but I didn't notice anything worth zooming in on

Hm, might make for some fun reading if RPS decides to wring their hands over it.

CDPR. They could go with just "Chrom-something", but putting a (theoretically, as the game hasn't been released yet) non-binary/trans person and "Manticore" together is an odd choice.

Also another game in cyberpank setting was announced:

I guess, it's going to be something like Remember Me, but VN/adventure. I find it ironic that messing with people's memories and basically destroying a large part of the city was never addressed in Remember Me.

[injurai]

So let me get this straight. People that advocate for trans-visibility and and body diversity in modeling, are now upset about a fictional trans-woman model in an in-game ad? In a setting that is both pluralistic, hyper-progressive, hyper-transhuman, and yet also seedy and rotten to it's core?

[Malcador]

I think they believe the in-game ad is derisive, or at least is my sense of what the people unhappy over it are about.

This might be what encourages me to try the game despite its first-person perspective, since it is combat that I generally cannot abide in first-person.
