You are a cruel, cruel man... :cry:

Unless you pick up your physical copy of the game one launch day (or have same day shipping I guess), you will also not be able to play on launch. Buying on digital lets you play ASAP and potentially even preload the game ahead of time. It also saves you to clutter of disks/cases and if you get...

The deal with distributors might not be about money as such. CDPR gets a big sales bump from being featured prominently on a stores front page. Making nice with distributors helps make that happen. Also, giving distributors little things they can use to push their own marketing of the game is...

Likely it is also part of the deal with the platform holders. I work for a larger consumer goods company and a lot of big retails like Target/Walmart love to get "special" versions of products - even if it is just a variant color scheme or cheep give-away pack in. I expect Steam/GOG/PS/XBOX...

That is a good question. Its been a while since we've seen the character customization in detail, but IIRC you just defined the body type as male/female. Hopefully the Body stat would then act as a slider to make the character bulkier/slimmer and have NPCs react accordingly. Maybe we get a bit...

Almost certainly Body, yes. They mentioned elsewhere that a high Body stat would let you intimidate people - hopefully by flexing on them. :)

Huh, that is a really confusing way to show it. I think I will just turn off the floating numbers and keep the health bars. That sounds much more intuitive.

Maybe the first hits were reduced by armor and the later hits were after the armor had been degraded?

Just because my GPS tells me to take the Golden Gate Bridge does not mean I can't just park the car and swim across instead. "Take the elevator" is the GPS telling you to take the logical, direct route that most people would take. There is nothing in the video indicating you would get a game...

I doubt I would be able to recognize any of those guys by looks/voice anyway, so for me they will be no different than every other voice actor. Are they really ubiquitous enough that people on here who are not fans of theirs would be able to recognize them on sight?

I was more fixated on all the NPCs with a yellow icon over them I would have tried talking to and all the stuff on tables you could pick up / read / inspect. The quest was played very "directly" with no time spent exploring the locations or looking for alternate approaches. Perhaps taking the...

Fair enough. It was a good catch to notice this "system" and it looks like we are in agreement that it is a neat little way to make the game flow better. :) Haha, yeah, that probably depends a lot on where in the world you are driving. Maybe the AI of the cars in CP2077 are responsible for...

They do appear to move a little towards the side of their lane, though they still stay in their lanes. Much like people do when they see a police vehicle or ambulance approaching at high speed. Not entirely unreasonable considering they have a car approaching from behind at high speed, but you...

Calling Terminator gritty is hilarious. The tone so far seems to be somewhat on level with Deus Ex - there are some dark implications for the things happening, but the main character takes it mostly in stride and does not get in the way of the videogame part of things. The latest gameplay...

I didn't notice anything like that. The type of weaving in between lanes full of traffic he does when pushing the car from "leisurely gliding along" to "in a hurry to get there, but not suicidal" would cause more than a little road rage, but I see that type of driving depressingly often IRL.
