Cyberpunk 2077

This will likely be the first consol FPS I get, Deus Ex:Human Revolution/Mankind Divided and Dishonored 2 notwithstanding (for DE the shooting that counted for my playthroughs was basically third person and for D2, pure stealth meant that shooting and super accurate targeted powers were rarely an issue), and I'm kinda nervous! I notoriously suck at FPS games except on PC but I don't want to wait to get a decent enough rig to play it, I'm that psyked for this game...!

Never read that but I have read a few if the Shadowrun books and they were pretty good. Movie Johnny numonic with Keeanu Reeves is a good one to watch for the the genre.pretty Sue I butchered the word numonic.

I get the idea behind the 1st person perspective. Makes sense. Generally, I have no real preference for perspectives since it really depends on the game.

Super excited about the game, though. Never played the RPG, but the cyberpunk genre is one of my favorites. Anyone ever read Neuromancer?

Can't wait for this game, easily my most anticipated game in years. Planning to build a new rig just to max it's settings, so waiting for a hard release date and will do that maybe 2 months before it drops.

Likely going to lose all of my social life due to this game, and I don't even care haha.

Never heard of light of day to have to check into it
Cyberpunknis an old franchise that was an awesome setting. My GM preferred Shadowrun so that is what we played bacj in the day.. I always liked both settings. My problem with Shadowrun is that they cannot seem to make a decent sequel or reboot to the video game franchise since the Sega Genesis Shadowrun game and I lived that game. Cyberpunk2077 is what I would have wanted the Shadowrun game be like. I can play either 3rd or 1st. I just like different perspectives for different tasks. If my only gripe about this game is the perspective I will still be very satisfied with this game.

After hearing Mike Pondsmith talk about the reasoning behind their decision, at PAX last year, I am no longer bothered by it. Essentially, they wanted to limit your field of vision so the world felt more overwhelming and uncertain, while also being able to use that field of vision in creative ways, such as adding a HUD with in-universe explanations, etc. They wanted the gameplay to feel more personal and immersive.

For me, I actually find first-person games less immersive, but the reasoning is sound.

I am looking forward to the release of Cypberpunk Red tabletop rpg, which will update the Cyberpunk 2020 setting for the video game. I have been on something of a cyberpunk kick lately and while I run my primary rpg campaign in Star Wars, I am working on setting my next big game (when this campaign ends in two years) in Cyberpunk Planescape.

I was terribly disappointed to hear "The Last Night" may not see the light of day.
