OT: I have been very critical of CP2077 lately, and I wish to dial it back a little. Not because of this stream, but because I believe CP2077 will be "good enough" for me to enjoy. The little flashes that this stream showed, just fortify my opinion. CP2077 won't be the second coming of Jesus, but a good enough game.
I didn't need to be sold the game because I have already preordered it, and that's a good thing because this trailer did a pretty poor job selling me the game. The pathological need of cutting away anything remotely resembling a spoiler left the trailer in tatters. It looked basically a slideshow of animated slides. However, it did fill the minimum criteria of showing us stuff we hadn't seen before, and a glimpse of two different playstyles. The bare minimum.. That's kind of a recurring theme lately.
I even got a little piece of something I wanted in there, something that I wonder if it was inserted there following a thread of complaints I did last winter: when I complained how little V opposed the gorilla in the Stout encounter during 2018 trailer. In this video V snatches his hand away when Placide tries to plug into him, showing that he just doesn't quietly take all the shit thats handed to him.
Offtopic: The Sasquatch encounter. At first it looked like Sasquatch was every bit the bullet sponge boss that people were afraid of, but in the end V disabled her by destroying the thingie on her back (kind of like Batman and Bane). So instead of a bullet sponge boss, we got a boss-mechanic boss, which I guess is the best we can hope for. No way were these encounters going to end up as something ground breaking... At the very least the devs pointed out that you can circumvent the entire fight if you so choose... that's more important.
ps. All I ask is that they release the image of the Nomad background as a wallpaper... the way did with the other kind of backgrounds. The nomad image isn't hosted anywhere yet to my knowledge. Point it out to me if Im wrong.
