Well, it seems Madqueen's information is now being presented as fact by the gaming press.

I didn't say it painted the entire industry as unreliable. I just said the gaming press was picking it up and touting it as fact. I'm a member of the press myself. But if I report something, I do my due diligence beforehand. PCGamesN is not known for doing that.

Reaaaalllllllyyyyy.....<licks chops> Unrelated question, but where would a person go if he wanted to say, read something you wrote? Have I read something you wrote? Did I like it? Are you Ben Kuchera? Walter Kronkite? Barbara Walters? WOLF BLITZER?!

I write for a tech site, with some PC gaming overlap here and there. Enough that I could technically get media credentials to go to E3. Technically. But it's not our entire focus like Rock Paper Shotgun or PC Gamer, or even PCGamesN. Most of the stuff I write about would probably bore you to tears.
Everybody makes mistakes, so no judgement, its just PCGN in particular tends to pick up pretty weak stories and spin them into something bigger. I still like a few of their writers, though.
Shavod once said that he was one of Angry Joe's personal friends. Now you say you're member of the press. At least I made it obvious that I was lying when I said the BTK killer was my dad.Snowflakez;n10454272 said:

Yeah, it's not so uncommon so you might really be one, the question is: are you going to play as one in Cyberpunk 2077? (curious)

Liz believed BTK was Dad. This is a much smaller jump.

I dunno. That sounds like he'd be making his job, his work. Presuming he. Because why not.
I speculate the Media as a PC will be cut, but that's because it's tough to work into a game that's not focussed on them.
As a former cop I can't help but think of some terms used in courts law for most of what passes for press reporting these days.Snowflakez;n10454392 said:
Fraudulent.
Hearsay.
Inadmissible evidence.
Libel.
Standard of proof.
Unsubstantiated.
But I'm sure there have to be good reporters out there somewhere ... don't there?

Yeah, I think you're right. Generally speaking, I lean towards characters that are speech-heavy, or generally focused on avoiding violence and conflict when possible. This is less due to being a goody two-shoes, and more out of self-preservation. Because I don't see a world where 2077 isn't combat-heavy (because of CDPR's track record, and the fact that it's a mainstream game, for better or worse), I don't think I'll even have the opportunity to toy around with it.
I'm betting Rockerboy takes its place as the "charismatic" role in the game.

If any of these are true, it's that Su was a former cop. She knows her stuff.
Not necessarily ... cops and reporters tend to get along almost as "well" as cops and defense lawyers.Snowflakez;n10459332 said:
Somewhere along the line most of the press forgot there was an "Editorial Section" in most papers and their job mutated from reporting the news to shaping public opinion.

I'm confused. I was just saying out of all three of the claims Liz quoted, yours is the most credible because of your knowledge of weapons and tactics and ballistics and such.
Just clarifying that on this particular subject (the reliability of the press) my OPINION is just that.Snowflakez;n10461262 said:I'm confused.

There may have been around 80-90 people working on Cyberpunk 2077 back in 2013, depending on how much people were working on the engine team:
Total: 210 people
Witcher 3: 100 people
Cyberpunk 2077: 80 or 90???
Engine team: Possibly 20

One group at CDPR I don't envy is the art team. Much cyberware (that's not just a jack) needs to be visual on the character models, and in the case of cheap Russian limbs they should be somewhat larger then normal, and this will play havoc with clothing/armor in terms of clipping. But if you go the RealSkin[SUP](TM)[/SUP] route then visually it shouldn't appear at all.
For sure. But also for a different reason. The cosmetic bioware making furries' and otherkins' dreams coming true must be an embarrassing routine.Suhiira;n10483622 said:
