Azdeus Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) The EULA for CP2077 is a beauty. https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/user-agreement/ Quote This is cute. So, the game’s got this ‘minimum age rating’ okay? So if ya wanna get into Night City — I’m tryna keep a straight face here — you gotta be above that rating. Usually, it’s 18+, but if, say, ya live somewhere that says 17+, and you’re only 17, then you gotta ask a parent for supervision. Seriously. Ya can’t make this up!

Sarex Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 From what I'm hearing they used flashes in Cyberpunk that are pretty similar to what doctors use to trigger a seizure for diagnostic purposes. That is such a strange thing to do, what are they gonna do next, cause motion sickness for the immersion. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
Humanoid Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Good guy Europe providing free medical diagnoses to Americans who could not otherwise afford it. In all seriousness, it's fortunate for both CDPR and their customers that this was caught while there are only a few hundred people playing the game, as opposed to tomorrow when there will be tens of millions doing so. I'm not particularly sensitive to any special effects in any sort of media, which made it all the more surprising that the Source engine* has turned out to be the only thing to induce problems (in this case pretty bad motion sickness) in me, in any video game. * I did see some footage of HL1 or one of its spinoffs that caused issues too, but I can't classify that as having played a game. Still interesting that even poor quality YouTube video doesn't affect the effect though. 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

Keyrock Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Kinda sucks that I'll have to wait until 2022 for the Steam release. On the other hand, I can be pretty sure that the game will work flawlessly via Proton by then. Also, CPUs and GPUs might even be available by that time... maybe. Anyway, I'm going Suit Only Stealth Assassin all the new locations on Master Difficulty eventually. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
