Definetly, the hype was insane for CP2077. The reddit forums has calmed down a bit though, but it's gone from HYYYPE, to bitter memes now. I miss all the fanart. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

It's not going to be a Fallout though. Then again, my definition of RPG is much stricter and narrower than 99.869% of other users, I think there's only one person on these forums that would agree with me. I don't view it as an RPG, I view it as an FP action adventure with some RPG mechanics, atleast until I see proof positive of the opposite. Edit; Actually, @Gizmo might not be the same person that I spoke with back on the Bethesda boards right before Fallout 3 was released, where we pretty much agreed about player/character separation and were disagreed with by just about everyone..

Fallout 1 & 2, Temple of Elemental Evil, Baldurs Gate games, PoE, Pathfinder Kingmaker. These are a few choices from the top of my head that do well. Bloodlines is the only FPS RPG that I can think of that was somewhat satisfactory with the player/character separation. 4 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Keyrock Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It's really difficult to recreate a good PnP campaign in video game form. I can't speak for other people's PnP experiences, but what was the crux of my most memorable PnP sessions wasn't the combat, it was the interactions between the PCs and/or the NPCs; the camaraderie, the bickering, backstabbing. Combat was a thing that happened, and it was exciting at times, but it was the other stuff between the combat that I remember most fondly. By necessity, most video game RPG adaptations are combat-heavy, WAAAAAAY more combat-heavy than most PnP sessions I've had, because it's one of the simplest "exciting" things you can implement in a video game. Outside of combat; the banter, decision making, exploration, etc. it's so unpredictable as to what may happen with players. In a PnP session a good GM can adapt on the fly, improvise, take the unexpected and find ways to further and/or enhance the story. Video games can't do that. A good video game designer can predict a handful of reactions, but not nearly all the different ways players may want to take things; even if he/she could, you can't program for all different possibilities, that would be madness. By their very nature, video games are always going to be way more restrictive than PnP, simply because the human GM has been taken out of the equation. 2 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azdeus Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Failed skill rolls are usually the best catalysts for the most interesting sessions really, or just people desperately trying to avoid certain skill checks. And yes, it is really difficult, bar a massive improvement in AI that is likely never going to happen. Doesn't mean that one shouldn't try to come as close as can be realistically done in a game though. 3 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

What the Hell is going on at CDPR? They almost sound like Activision or EA now. Not really. There has been a worrying rumours about CDPR vs it’s employees for a while now. And I don’t think one can look at massive game like Witcher3 and wonder how much work troopers had to put into it. CDPR has been always treating their customers well - unlike Activision or EA. It doesn’t mean that they treat their employees the same way. I think that 1) they might feel a bit more pressure after the success that was Witcher3 2) journalists and public might have a bigger interest in CDPR actions now that they are big. I don’t think many would care about same topics before W3 was released. EDIT. Which reminds me back in Witcher1 days there was a story of devs sleeping in the office and working overtime for a prolonged amount of time to finish the game. At that time it was passionate devs completing their dream project. Now public is less favourable toward that kind of behaviour (be it self inflicted or via external pressure) and CDPR isn’t an inexperienced, first time game maker, but a commercially and critically successful AAA dev.

Keyrock Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Turns out, putting out a vidja game is a non-trivial matter, especially one as large and complex as Cyberpunk 2077. Also, this may be the most hyped vidja game release since GTA V, so the company is, understandably, under INTENSE pressure and scrutiny. 6 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.
