The dialogue in this game is really awful, I'm quite shocked.

"I got news the size of my balls."

Fuck and cunt every other sentence.

Just seems really lazy and like an edgy teenager trying to prove he is an adult by using tons of bad language

I think it fulfills it’s purpose. It’s a combination of attempting “future jargon” while at the same time reminding me of the big 80’s movies. I wasn’t really turned off by it nor impressed by it. I think the writing itself is getting a bit too much praise for now, but I think a lot of that has to do with everything being so shiny and new at the moment. Once the wow factor wears off it will be judged more appropriately.

Nah, fairly recently Division 2 was listed as no date and that comes out in a little over 6 months. Granted plans can change with like 16 months still, but I think that's a legit planned release for now

A release title for the next gen consoles perhaps.

I think it's fine. The world is a rough, colorful and over the top take on cyberpunk. You saw gangs, guns for hire and an extremely stressed corporate worker whose life is probably on the line in the demo...do you want them saying please and thank you? Countless movies, albums and books contain excessive uses of profanity yet are lauded as hallmarks in their respective mediums. But when a game uses it, it gets the lazy criticism of "tryhard" or "edgy teenage."

I've seen your criticism a lot on other forums and it's always hilarious to me when people have problems with words yet don't bat an eye at the body count and gratuitous violence.

I'm not offended by bad language. If I had been I would not have any British friends (they use cunt all the time) but I am worried that so far I don't like anything about the new characters. V sounds like she is trying to be tough all the time (hopefully in the game we will see she has other sides to her) and that partner she has is annoying as hell with him constantly saying Jaina and using that stereotypical latino accent we see in every damn movie. We also need to consider that this city is clearly influenced by Japanese society so why aren't they using any words in Japanese? If you go to other countries you can see a lot of locals using bad language in English. I want to see that in this game as well as music (for example there is a karaoke building across the apartment) from other countries. If you're going to have a city influenced by foreign culture then I expect the dialogue and music choice to match that as well. Example would be firefly. So far this game seems way too American despite the setting.

...you were just arguing the opposite of this in the riot games thread.

Fair enough. I believe in the lore, Night City is not based soley on a Japanese city. The district where the demo takes place is the Asian section of town. Night City is basically a corporate owned splinter city in California, which broke away from the collapsing US in the 1990s iirc. Another tidbit I read was the Latino section of the city is very wealthy and in the upper class. The lore timeline offers some really interesting possibilities for them in designing the setting and being creative since the United States is a failed country and never became a real super power. I don't think it will be like a GTA satire of American culture. Just some flavor here and there since the creator is a California native iirc.

Low post count and 2006 join date....what does that have to do with anything? :P
 
I was amazed and underwhelmed by the gameplay.

I saw the Yong guy at e3 come out, like he had a spiritual awakening, teary eyed, unable to grasp what he had seen, and its only that?

Okay then....

It’s the little details I think. That’s what excites me. The firefight with the wall between you, the UI with the cybernetic implant, etc. it’s all done so perfectly. We’ve seen it before, but not with this level of detail. You could look at a screenshot and read all the text for like 20 minutes. For a lot of people those little details are the difference between a classic and a fun game.

However, the game mechanics themselves seem normal. It’s the presentation, really. It seemed more scripted than I anticipated, especially the dialogue which previews made it sound like was some kind of revolutionary process.
