Will You Watch CP2077 Content (videos, streams, etc.) When the Game is Released?

[Matchst1ckk]

The other day I came to the realization that I had virtually no desire to watch some of my favorite Twitch streamers play Cyberpunk 2077, at least within the first couple of weeks of the game's release. It has nothing to do with spoilers, but rather wanting my experience with the game to be as close to 100% mine as I can make it.

I think there are a lot of reasons why I feel that way, chief among them is not wanting to listen to someone blast the game when they don't understand what Cyberpunk as a sub-genre of science fiction is. It's been annoying to see the feedback resemble this as news of a game feature would trickle through. There are going to be plenty of people who can't handle the more mature elements of the game, and I plan to avoid discourse with them whenever possible.

But, I was curious, what are some of the thoughts of the good people here? What will you be doing?

 

[Draconifors]

No.

 

[Rawls]

Definitely not until my playthrough is done.

Nope. I'll be streaming myself which isn't something I normally do for games but not everyone is going to be playing the game, it doesn't hurt to get some non traditional gamers into it.

 

[OuterSpaceDoggo]

No and I hope I won't be spoiled.

 

[DRK3]

I will be too busy playing it to watch someone else play it.

Even the last videos [...], just because we're so close to launch i no longer feel i need to watch anymore of it, if it had been 3/4 months ago i wouldnt resist it though.

 

[RaduMihai]

I wouldn't watch streams, but short vids could give me some build ideas.

 

[Maelcom404]

Probably a bunch of gameplay of the various prologue, just to make sure what Lifepath I'll take for my first run.

 

[SmantellaPorci]

No, i'mma play mine first. 10 times. Different ways. Just to be sure to at least have a bit of fun, just a little bit <3

It's all fun and games until YouTube recommandations stabs you in a back later with a video and a spoiler in big capital letters.

I know, V dies in the end.

 

[saintpoe]

I won't have time to watch playthroughs when playing this game.

 

[kofeiiniturpa]

No.

I don't like toobervideos and I don't like to watch how others play before I've done what I do myself.

 

[Zihlus]

NOPE!

Will be playing the game and enjoying all the stories and playthroughs

Maybe after playing through the game at least 3 times for all the lifepaths.
But come Dec 9th @4pm here on the west coast USA. I'll be too all up in Cyberpunk 2077 to care about who uploaded what.

 

[Flyddon]

I will be too busy playing it to watch someone else play it.

Exactly! Why would I buy it and then watch someone else play it.

Now down the road, if there is a quest I did not understand or screwed up I may go looking, but this will be months after.

 

[RaduMihai]

I know, V dies in the end.

Worse, Arasaka kills Judy.

On topic: probably some youtubers will put massive spoilers in big yellow letters on their vid pic and then, inside the video, put a spoiler warning at the start and I'll see that and go "bah, you d**k"...

 

[FirstBlood2621]

With new games I usually like to get through a few hours of playing and then I watch videos up to where I am in my playthrough.

 

[superpunked2077]

Ill enjoy watching other youtube content after I am confortable that I have thourghly played the game and found most content myself.

 

[ooodrin]

Oh, yeah. Cannot wait to see the "twitch streamers reacts to meeting themselves in CP2077" type of videos popping up on youtube. Playing the game or watching bunch of e-celebrities screaming and squeaking? Sophie's choice, man...

 

[Gun_Show]

Nope.
