Johnny looking great; dont mind the haters the music is fine. 
I want that tech sniper rifle and the katana gameplay looked sick! I want November baby!

Serviceable episode. My only wish was to see more of the non-lethal options. Hope they show off more of the character creation, inventory, and perk system for the next one.
- Weapons: Yeeeesssss, a lot of weird, interesting weapons. A smart sniper rifle? Surely a favourite of Chinese cheaters in multiplayer shooters the world over (except for BF1, where they cheat as a flying MG1917). Can I actually keep a trunk full of guns? That would be a great scene from every B-movie ever made.
- Music: It's okay, probably gonna keep the radio off anyway. This is not the rock I usually listen to.
- Lifepaths: It's a good design choice, sort of a 3-in-1 campaign, although I'm not expecting too much from this feature, I have no interest in the Streed Kid & Nomad choices, who wants to roleplay a pauper?
the one from refuse, 100% agree, that rap music wasn't that bad. And I'm the guy who listens exclusively to rock music.
I already gave my feedback about NCW in the announcement thread.
Sounds like you can use all weapon types to hit folks behind cover. Power via ricochet, and Smart via self-guidance, and Tech via just shooting thru the cover. I'm very happy to see this because I was concerned that each weapon type would have some exclusive ability more-or-less requiring you to use all types of weapons thus (probably) precluding you from maxing out any of them because you'd need to split your skills/perks among them all.
If CPDR uses a similar approach to all non-legendary (they're said to have unique abilities) weapons what you use will depend on player choice not game mechanics.
I still have a concern that Smart weapon users will more-or-less require higher armor and hit point totals then Power or Tech weapon users. Because I assume if multiple targets are in the giant targeting reticle of a Smart weapon each of them will be hit thus spreading out the damage done and prohibiting you from eliminating them one at a time to reduce the volume of return fire, meaning you're likely to get hit more often then a Power or Tech weapon user would. But we'll see.

I dunno. This didn't strike me as particularly interesting nor revealing of anything new.
I think it's time to wait for the game to release and see what it is for better or worse. There are no "big" revelations left anymore, nor extraordinarily information-heavy showcases of so far loosely explained mechanics.
I'd lie if I said I was entirely content with how things have gone and what this game has turned out to be, but it is what it is.

Its called character progression. From zero to... something.
Besides, the corpo V will be just as broke as the other lifepaths once they get kicked off Arasaka.
As to the video... Everything else except the music looks good... I am not overly excited about gunplay in these kind of games in general. But it will do its job I guess. I was excited to catch a glimpse of the gorilla arms for the first time.
The smart weapons seem gimmicky, but I guess this is CDPR's answer of having both shooter gameplay and ensuring armless and aimless people still can play the game.
The bullets are ricocheting quite a ways off from where the gun is pointing.... Work in progress I guess..
Happy with what i saw , would love a bit of a look at CC in the next episode . I loved the idea of the 8 barrel shotgun " quickest way the clear a room " Now i need to go back and pause in some bits to see more info .

Valid point.
Variety is the spice of life!
What about mission specific weapon selection?
Unless I have 1 base firearm and can swap weapon mods?
If you only have 1 tool, make sure it's the right one for the job.
One of the best parts, the new ragdoll physics. (RIP bouncing npcs corpses)
Really liked what they showed us today and i think that combat in general looks great, have to test it out myself but overall i am really positive from what i have seen. Do kinda hope that they show more unedited footage that doesn't cut to a different scene every 2 seconds..
Biggest fear still remains to be driving and combat, hopefully they nail that too.
It's not ricocheting the bullets, it's a smart weapon and the bullets are tracking the enemy.

You too huh? We can be nomads together, weeeee
. In any case, maybe it's just me but the game looks freaking gorgeous.
It looks like melee combat animations have seen some work too. Although, it looks like they're making the screen shake mildly to indicate movement/power. I suppose this is acceptable. It definitely looked better.... Even the very brief clip of the boxer fight appeared to speed up the NPC... responsiveness. GJ CDPR.
Covering life-paths again doesn't hurt but it didn't seem like new info was provided. One of the curiosities I have there is if you can change your life-path mid playthrough. As in, if you're a street kid and make a lot of decisions geared toward a corpo path if you can shift your "life-path" in that direction. Similar to, I don't know, an alignment concept. Strictly speaking this wouldn't make sense for the way life-paths are advertised. It'd be kind of cool though.
I also wonder if NPC's won't make use of smart weapons too. I'd expect they would if those weapons exist. It'd be neat to have to adapt around that as the player. Instead of gearing up with smart weapons and trivializing combat encounters.
Yea, I'm kinda disappointed since they showed most of the weapons we already knew about or saw earlier. Especially with the melee and cyberware weapons. Only the new one was tanto. They did show a lot of shotguns in the trailer. I think I counted at least 4 or 5 in the trailer.
