Dear CDPR team,
Before every thing, I wish to tell how I admire your work on "The Witcher" trilogy and I am supporting you from the beginning, buying every game at their launch. My english is far from perfect but I am doing my best to write my humble opinion, what I really rarely do for a game.
As a fan of Sci-Fi and of Blade Runner, I was so hyped by Cyberpunk that I ordered the game on GOG.com and pre-ordered 2 other games on PS4 to offer them to my friends.
But once the game in hands, I felt so frustrated, so raged, I had the feeling that this game could be my favourite game ever, but it was failing because of the obvious well-known bugs but also because of some absurd direction you chose. I will not discuss the nonfunctional basics of the gameplay and bugs already mentioned on many posts and reviews, I am going to focus here on the current topic which is nudity.
You have claimed that this game is a mature game with nudity and violence, which is consistent with the Cyberpunk universe and the least I was expecting from. As in every RPG game, immersion is my central attention. I was impressed by the detail of customisation and couldn't keep smiling at the genitals customisation. "they did it ! incredible ! they even took the time to think about this detail, the game's gonna be ultra realistic ! I can't wait for playing further !".
But I realised later that you can be nude only in the inventary and that you take a shower with all your clothes on, or with a short (who does it in real life, seriously ?), what is the point to get full frontal naked in the inventory only and nothing is reflected in the game environment? For this point, please be aware that most of us, fans and gamers, don't buy games for satisfying our sex desire, staring nude female or penis models rotating, but for reasons like the universe consistency, that makes a game realistic and great in comparison to other similar RPG games.
I am OK with no nudity content, if it is well-hidden during the scenes, or if not proposed. But you can see already EVERYTHING in the menu, why don't keep going forward ?
I respect the fact that not everyone would like to see nudity in this game, and that is why you created the nudity censorship option... don't you ? What is the point of this option when we stupidly take a shower with clothes on, staring in the mirror and walking in short, and seeing people magically urinating from their hands ? By the way please be informed that all women are urinating standing, is there no vagina in this world ?
On the other hand, sextoys are over exposed everywhere, repeatedly reminding us that sexuality is not a shame in the Cyberpunk universe. But it is only showing how pretentious the game is : free-talk about sexual contents, but in reality very shy and full censored. I call it "teenaged" and immature content, just the contrary of what you wanted to show.
Though there are some frontal female scenes, penis seems to not exist in this world, that accentuates how absurd the game is trying to deny the existence of some parts of the human body.
Regarding the fact that even if you wanted to keep the game shocking-proof, kindly refer to games like "Rust" or "Conan Exiles", "GTA 4 and 5" and a lot more : no body cares about seeing male genitals, people are even smiling about it, and the universe and the immersion are getting more credible, more consistent with the themes.
Could you please explain to us, why a game of this calibre, witch such beautiful artistic design that can make you cry, with such realistic characters ( I am not about the NPCs walking in the city), is ridiculously hiding some part of the human body, which is the central topic of the cyber modification in Cyberpunk ?
Please open your eyes, the ones playing your games are not kids born in the nest of a stork, that is what I am feeling you think of us.
As all other features of the game, you set the basics of very good ideas and show the will of very cool intentions, but they are uncompleted, not functional. Nudity is one of them. The intention is there, but the idea has not completed its way. Please dare to push your ideas, which are great, to the end and complete them.
May this humble comment reach you and may you take my remarks into consideration or not, I thank you for reading me to the end.
