Topic: Cyberpunk 2077

So I never got into the Deux Ex franchise, for whatever reason, but the CDPR (people who made Witcher) are coming out with a game that looks pretty awesome.  I've always been more of a story-guy myself (have Borderlands, never finished any of them), so this is probably right up my alley even if the gunplay doesn't end up being great.

If you like Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, etc. check this out:

Sweet.  You should give Deus Ex a try though.  It's a great story and great gameplay.  If it comes up on sale on Steam or wherever, dooo it.

This game looks awesome too.

Deus Ex was way too stiff of a game IMO. Controls were strange, dialogue was overly long and droning, voice acting was terrible. I stopped playing when I had to break into a police station and spend 6 minutes on each door trying to unlock it.

But anyways...
I watched a good part of the Cyberpunk gameplay, and it looked pretty neat. I don't think it would hold my attention very well though... it seemed like fallout with environmental damage and cars...  Obviously not post apocalyptic, but the fighting looked very similar.

I didn't ask for this.  Why didn't you instead, spend 6 minutes wiping out everyone on each floor?

If you say the game is good, maybe I'll give it another shot. I'll have to remove Alien Swarm to make room, tho....

Deus Ex is malleable in a way that you can play it without killing a single person, or not letting a single person live.

That being said, it's sat uninstalled in my steam library for years.

Deus Ex was great. That being said, it didn't have the open-worldness that makes some of these games so good. There was a constrained linearity to it at times that kept it in the game realm and lost some sense of the immersive atmosphere, but overall I enjoyed it. Having the option to go full Duke Nukem when you got tired of going full Snake was also a plus, because I can only sneak for so long.

Cyberpunk? Yes please. I like that (so far) it seems that unlike Deus Ex, if you have 1/1 "Engineering" it just gets done, rather than forcing me to play a lame minigame that I'll screw up. At times, I didn't mind having to weasel my way through a conversation, but sometimes it just interrupts the flow of the game.

With all the flying cars in the opening sequences I better not be stuck on the ground the whole time.

The original DX is still much better than HR (and MD is either on par or slightly better than DX:IW depending on how you look at it).

That is a great way to put it! 

That all said, Cyberpunk looks fantab.  I will probably never play it.
