No reason behind it
Just want to get to know you guys more, what do you look forward to, what are you expecting and stuff like that
Heh, I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt then and treat you to it then. ;-)
I'm one of these people who hasn't come in to this with very strong desires or opinions on Cyberpunk 2077. All I know is that when I bought the standard edition jewelcase of Witcher 2 some eight years ago on a hunch, things like a map, a coin and Dandelion's pamphlet of king Henselt came spilling out. For a standard edition, that made an impression on me and I could just feel that W2: Assassin of Kings was a labor of love set in a tenderly crafted, gritty and realistic world. Finished it thrice.
I've been a fan ever since. I've started playing Witcher 3 some three times over, quitting each time about half-way in and promising myself to find the ideal month somewhere in the future, where I'd find the time to do the game justice and complete it 100% in a single multi-week run-through. I'm still looking to find that month.
I shouldn't have any right to look as much forward to Cyberpunk 2077 as I am really. I should finish my last meal first. Can't say that I'm not partly motivated towards purchasing CP77, just to support good industry practices within gaming (though I was disappointed by reports that your upper management can be quite harsh on your employees.
)
Normally I'm not much for first-person shooters, but I love management games, intricate mechanisms, detailed "other" worlds and well written, atmospheric stand-alone stories. This means I haven't played a Triple-A game from EA/Activision/Ubisoft in years now and some of my favorite recent titles have been Frostpunk, Prey, Dishonored 2, Two Point Hospital, Pyre, Hades, Sexy Brutale, Satisfactory, ANNO 1800 and Resident Evil 2. I liked Thronebreaker and will make an exception for FPS games like Cyberpunk once I'm convinced the experience is good enough, which I already am.
Just like I make calculations in my management games, I write down choices during RPGs so I can replay to make different ones at a later date.
I'm the profile of the kind of customer who'll support the work of your company, regardless of decisions that might be controversial to anyone else. As long as I find the amount of love and dedication that I've come to expect from CDPR, I'll fumble my way through the gunplay and accept that the mechanics I'm confronted with are just the way games are supposed to work. I'm the neurotic type, but I'm fairly sure there's quite a few more of me who'll be silent during and ahead of launch.
I'm hyped, without many expectations. Normally I just play indie titles, so I'm building a new rig just so I can play CP77. I'm more interested in the system requirements than I am a release date.
