It'd be neat to have an in game transition? Like, saving up to buy an augment that changes your voice or surgeries for the body. If you're going to the doc to get cyberware, why not get other stuff while you're under?
And it doesn't sound mechanically super hard or hard to write, although that's maybe naive?

It's mostly a recap of all the information that has been released since E3, also goes over the parts of an ARG that have already been solved but the ARG hasn't been finished yet so nothing really new.

Between years of anticipation, the setting, the developer (people still fondly remember Witcher 2 and 3), and Keanu Reeves, there's still plenty of hype for CP2077. Quite possibly more than it can live up to.

... Not in the circles I hang with. Though I can see the hype, yes.
Still, it's bizarre how CD Projeckt Red not only alienated it's playerbase but actively put effort into alienating it. They didn't have to make the statements they did, but they did so anyway. They're a big company, they should have at least done their research.

Why are you letting how hyped other people are for the game affect your anticipation for it?
If you want to be excited for it, do so.
Im still in the camp of "probly going to be good, but Im not gonna be vocal about it being best thing ever because overly high expectations never help and while theyve said some stuff that sounds promising they may still cock up implementation of issues which might leave a sour taste

Because that's not a dampener on hype coming from mediocre gameplay, it's a dampener coming from transphobia and "body purity shit" coming from an article by the devs on their intentions for the game. I'm scared that I'm hype for a game that's causing actual harm. There's a reason I hate the CoD games, and it's the reason I don't feel good about liking this.

Oh yeah that. This is probably what will convince me I can't push back replacing mine forever. Kinda waiting to see what specs they'll require.

I'll probably wait for reviews and do something I wouldn't explain here if there's something bad enough in it.
If I wasn't interested in getting it, why would I keep track of the controversy?

I heard that there are some 'lifepaths' one can do as well. I wonder if that means you can have a kind of Dragon Age:Origins style beginning. Like the corp starts in a corporate building and the street rat has some flophouse.

Info from the latest demo.
Source
- Some merchants will offer unique items and discounts only for a specified period of time or at specific times.
- You can buy various clothes like long jackets, sneakers, t-shirts, …
- Example of programs that a netrunnet can buy: a program to disable cybernetic eyes or another to block a cybernetic member
- As you advance your hacking skills, the options will expand from a simple door opening to controlling cameras or turrets and more.
- Mini-games related to hacking will be different depending on the installation you hack.
- Bots can also hack at a distance
- Increases are performed only from a specialist but minor changes will be possible by ourselves such as improving our mantis blade by adding poison
- You can increase your skills by finding a trainer or by installing certain implants
- The scarcity of objects corresponds to its availability rate in stores. The more rare an object is, the more street cred will it take for a seller to offer it to us
- Street Cred will also increase the quality of buyable components for crafting
- They have changed the way to show the damage compared to the 2018 demo and try several methods to indicate the damage taken by the opponent without flooding the screen with numbers (the numbers are still there but in smaller quantities) like adding special animations
- The inventory will be limited according to the weight that can be transported
- When V uses a glass bottle to shatter it on the skull of an opponent, this results in a bloody visual effect and the shard of the bottle is still usable for impaling it in the body of an opponent
- Example of interactive discussion between V and Placide in the demo: during the conversation, a henchman enters the room with a message. If V looks at this character, new dialog options appear to interact with him that, according to the devs, will have an impact on the conversation with Placid if used.
- When Placide forces V to connect to the network to be monitored during his mission, an interruption is possible if we have Street Kid because only a child of the street knows the way gangs work.
- More details about the boss fight with Sasquatch: The fight takes place in a small room with interactive objects. The boss can use these items to prevent us from reaching his back. It is possible to avoid the fight
- Each attribute and skill goes up to level 10. There are 60 perks too (5 per skill) and each perks has 5 levels of progression
- You can combine skills with doping products like the slow motion effect during a hacking to have more time. This was used during a fight against an Animals in order to have time to hack him
- In the demo, V is level 18 with a street cred level 12. Brigitte is level 45 and was the highest level NPC met in the demo.
- If you take a driver out of his car to rob him and there is a gang or the police around, a violent response will be felt
- When you want to pause the main quest, there will be a lot of side quests available. On top of that, there will be many events happening across the city and how to interfere with it can lead to a quest. In addition to that, Night City brings together many activities. Unlike The Witcher 3, there will not be a classic quest table to tell us what to do when doing it. However, optical improvements will make it possible to simulate through the augmented reality the highlighting of certain points in the environment.
- Braindance is an important part of simulating someone's memories.
- Everyone will not be increased in the same way. The richest will have increases that only they can have. Others will not want improvement by religious conviction. The idea is not to create a homogeneous but very different population
- Cyberpsychose is present in the game. Our character can not reach it but through quests or scripted events, we can see the damage to the improvements on the psyche.
- Religions are still very present in Night City. Our vision of Cyberpunk is not to describe an alternative world but a continuity of our world. Some things will look like our current reality. For example, Christianity is present in the game and will even have a faction.
- "The journalist says that the presence of religion is likely to create a scandal", which CDP respond with: "We will not avoid any subject, even if they may offend the sensitivity of some. We are not here to say whether it is good or bad."
- With Cyberpunk, CDP has also exacerbated community membership as a way for people to protect themselves from danger and poverty.
- The type of your character will be at your convenience. You will not necessarily choose strictly a man or a woman. One can have a male body with feminine attributes, a feminine voice and feminine hair. The type of voice will impact how NPCs will perceive us.

I am curious if there will be an option to do a no augmentation, baseline human run. In Dishonored 2 there was an achievement for completing the game as a normal human with no supernatural powers. Would be nice if Cyberpunk gets something like that.

They've said in some interview that the eye and hand mods for the smartgun HUD (seen in the first gameplay video) and a basic datajack are required, but all others are optional. So it's possible to do a run with only a bare minimum of augmentations.

You mean you'd pirate it, yes?
No offence, but this comment is beyond ridiculous to me. Harm? What possible harm could this game do to anyone? Is it going to cause people to perceive trans people negatively? No, people will keep whatever stance they have in regards to trance people because a piece of media rarely actually changes someone's attitude towards something. And the whole thing about cybernetics having a negative effect on human body implying condemnation of prosthetics and other means of assistance for the disabled is the result of mental gymnastics I have not seen in a long time, based completely on the words sacred and profane.
The fact is no one has any idea about the developers attitude towards any of the subjects mentioned here and are basing their conclusion on a few tweets and quotes that aren't really saying anything concrete.
Now, if your comment about the hype being dead for the game is based on the discussion and some of the issues people have brought up here, I'd hate to disappoint you but the majority of people think that the accusations of transphobia are an overreaction and are still so hyped about the game that I'm not sure the game can actually deliver on it.
You might think that's just people only caring about themselves and not caring about any social issues, but ask yourself if maybe you are just overreacting. You make it sound like this is a video game version of Birth of a nation for fucks sake.

Medias are in fact a colossal source of influence on people? I don't know how anyone can think that representation of minorities in media has zero influence on their perception? Of course the images people are exposed to influence how they think about topics! Especially when they don't have contact with real live trans people.
The developers answered concerns with a disgusting take about being attracted to men, women, and everything in between, clearly implying trans people are some weird chimera to fetishize on. They know what they're doing and it's gross.
