The writers are not bad. I like most of Lang's stuff. And Chiarvesio, in spite of being Italian, made Kingsburg which is not terrible.

this has nothing to do with CMON or the designers, I just don't care about licenses in board games

Oh yes I agree. I have zero interest in this. I just meant that it's probably not gonna be terrible although almost certainly forgettable. I am way more interested in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJML6ZpD_ZQ

I didn't enjoy it a lot but part of that was the GM. He was a friend of ours who made pregens and purposefully gave each of us characters that were way out of our comfort zones. My character was a mechanic, who talked a lot and was super social but didn't know the first thing about guns. At the time I was in my "mostly quiet gun-fu" phase for cyberpunk and modern style games. Anyway, I seem to remember not being super impressed with the ruleset mechanically either.

I've been playing Shadowrun 5e over the last few years, and the newly-released 6e (and, honestly, Catalyst itself) is such a shitshow that most people are either sticking with 5e, or jumping ship to Cyberpunk RED. In fact, one of the SR communities I play in just did a playtest of the Jumpstart kit and it went really really well...
Of course this may all change when the core rulebook comes out, but (at least post-gencon) the hype is strong.

I never played the Shadowrun tabletop RPG but didn't like the dice pool mechanics of it. I ran a Cyberpunk 2020 campaign for years with my buddies. The 2020 ruleset was decent - I liked that it was d10 instead of d6, but there were definitely some moments of my friends finding just super-maximized combos. My buddy ended up making a Prowler character that was more deadly than just about any Solo, so I ended up having to constantly put them in situations where his strengths were nullified (or just have them wake up naked). They all had fun with it but like most tabletop RPGs, even the best systems can be shit up by a dickhead GM or min-maxing rules lawyer players.

CD Projekt Red can't win for losing. They got bitched at for their transgender ads in the games. So they decided to make the character creator more inclusive. Now, instead of a binary male/female choice you choose a body type and a voice. Needless to say right-wing gamers are losing their shit over it. "What? I guess now I can just pretend to be a woman so my character can walk into women's bathrooms" and such is what you'll see in sites that allow comments and/or on social media. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-drops-binary-malefemale-options-in-/1100-6469446/

Step 1: ignore comments and social media.
I'm serious. Don't give these fucking morons any attention.
(full disclosure: I think gendered bathrooms are a stupid idea and cringe that apparently it's the only thing stopping conservatives from raping women and girls)

You know the first thing that is going to happen in any cyberpunky world is some dude is going to get a vagina implanted in his arm so he can fuck himself, or something random like that. So the whole idea of nonbinary genders does fit in with the genre.

Four of them, running parallel and eating all your standard slots plus an enclosure built specifically for one more.

And external power sources, too, like the cancelled Voodoo5.

The latest "controversy" is that cutscenes are almost entirely first person it seems. I don't understand why they have such a boner for pure first person in this game. While I think it's silly for people to be upset over it i do get the comments that go "so what's the point of the detailed character creator if I rarely see my character?" I'm not going to lie. I like designing my characters and have been known to choose armor/clothes for looks over stats from time to time. If I have the option I always play 3rd person because I like seeing my character. Yeah, I'm that person. Sue me.
I think this game is going to be awesome but I do think CD Projekt needs to get a handle on what information is released and how it is released. We keep seeing developers make comments in interviews or on twitter that blows up. Also, and I hate to say it, but it feels like some games journalists have it in for this game for some reason. Like that Rock Paper Shotgun guy a few pages back. These guys fellate anything Rockstar does but they're going out of their way to find things wrong with this game and it's annoying.

It's like a space sim not having starview glamcam or whatever which is pretty easily changed (or modded...maybe? Bueller?). There also seemed to be an on-model preview for equipment so people can fashion it up. The ice bath scene was pretty fuckin' cool though.

I'm the complete opposite; I couldn't get into Witcher 3 because of the 3rd person camera plus janky movement controls. If I could have played in in first person with 1:1 movement I'm sure I would have loved it, so I'm glad they're going first person with this game.

There are some scenes that need the cinematic feel that third person brings. There are others tat probably won't. If the game can make me feel like first person works, I'm there.

I'm over first person for just about everything but minecraft (which has 3rd person as needed tho). It's just limiting and weird.

Shooting feels so much better in first person though, always.

Yeah, if the game is partly or mostly shooty, it has to be first person. There are only really a few successful exceptions to this rule, no?

I will concede this may be a personal preference. Games are great because in RL, guns don't have reticles and you almost always hit what the dot is on.
