Makes you wonder why as I'm using a mid range system and my game runs everything on High fine without Ray-tracing. Probably the GPU, lack of ram, and older CPU.

I was curious, how does it feel that you only see your character and what he/she's wearing in the inventory menu? Theoretically, it sounds jarring to me. That you play most of the game without seeing how you look. I guess it helps if you want to maximize stats and don't want to see yourself dressed like a clown. But it's also sad that you can't see yourself. The variety of items sure would make it fun to see yourself.

That's why until the announcement I was sure the game would be in 3rd person. Especially after the Witcher games with very little character customization options.

Personally, not jarring at all. I've played other 1st person RPGs. This isn't novel. You do see yourself anytime you want by going to the inventory menu. When you see your limbs, feet, etc, the stuff you're wearing is present and accounted for. You see your (lovingly modeled) weapons.
Mostly, I just don't care about it that much to begin with. I'm not a selfie sort of person IRL, so maybe that carries over.
Yeah this is the least important part of an rpg to me. I never understood why people liked to dress up their characters but it seems very popular and I understand devs want to cater to it.
For example @purpleblob; loves to match colours on her characters on games apparently.

Very simple imo. Cosmetics and visuals very much contribute to the identity of the character. And they create attachment to the character. My character isn't just a bunch of stats and mechanics. Otherwise we could be playing text-based rpgs games. My 2 cents anyway.

I understand it being there but the amount of attention spend on it is what I don't understand.
I don't spend much time dressing up in real life so maybe that's why.

I'm very much the same way, but I still enjoy looking at what my character is wearing. Which is my I always prefer 3rd person over 1st person. That and the fact that 1st person is so limited. You get no peripheral vision, depth perception/distance is harder, melee animations are usually just awful.
I guess my point is that, if there's items with attention given to how they look, and this is undeniable that they put a lot of work into the items, it's just bizarre that you can't watch you character. Only in very limited situations. The two decisions are incongruent imo.

I guess the amount of attention spent on it varies a lot.
Identity of the character is created by the story, cinematics, and interactions with other characters for me.
Although I understand people that like to spend more time on the cosmetics. I guess those are more of the creative mind than me

Yes, I love dressing up my characters:
For me, dressing up my characters is part of roleplaying as well
but its more of an optional/bonus stuff I want from RPGs, not a must have

ACG isn't doing a review of Cyberpunk yet, or maybe he will no idea. But he did lay out his issues during their podcast. I timestamped the link right where he starts.

Yeah... I think we're beating a dead horse at this point. I'm almost starting to wonder if some of us have an agenda.

Nothing from me, if that's what you're hinting at. I've purchased the game a long time ago on both GOG and Steam. I'm the first that wanted this game to succeed.
I guess I'm a bit addicted to hearing about the game, since I won't touch it for a long time. And I find the reactions interesting. Some people are very defensive about it. Some people are going full on aggressive on it. And everything inbetween.

The way I see it, there are very real issues with the game, plus issues around how CDPR wasn't exactly forthcoming about how unviable it is on older consoles. Then you add to that people's proclivity for dogpiling on a game on the ropes, and you have the current situation.
Leave it to people who live for clicks (Youtubers) and for failure (the "fans" that infest social media platforms and comment sections) to take legitimate greivances and still manage to massively exaggerate them. I stopped by the CDPR forum and saw a post in which someone was compiling "existing issues" and most of them were bullshit. "Map is too small", "can't smoke", that sort of thing.

Perhaps no news any longer but I'll post it here as I did not find a directly similar post (might have missed it in between the discussion):
Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Order Sales Have Already Covered Entire Development and Marketing Cost
So, even though this was certainly not the smoothest release from CDPR, financially it was worth the effort already. Anything that rains in will be profit from now on. That is good news for us who enjoy the games CDPR is making.

The author is clearly not a gamer, has a little clue and the article contains some factual errors (such as "the first game in five-years from CD Projekt"). Yet, it is interesting to read about it from the "outsider capitalist's" perspective.
