Notes at the Ruins. #35.

#35. Getting raw and broken.

A box of unreleased Cyberpunk 2077 decorated in emblem of unexplainable "over 200 awards" reminded worst games, which released "Game of the Year Edition". I like a without arrogance Volition joked on it in "The Game of the Century" of tremendous Saints Row IV where satirized on games. Twenty minutes of Cyberpunk 2077 dropped in the world web with low-quality photo of package of PlayStation 4 version. Video released a day later by developer wasn't different on understanding about gameplay, but in that unstoppable laughing of so-called "demonstration" was without make-up work. Repair car by dialog choice between "do right technical action" and pressing on "I'm thinking" will return to instant two variants. Few times of pushing on button for ignite engine of a car, once for open a door on a mission place and then again for "kick it". To relief, it was without QTE. That's version showed texture loading what isn't of things by which I disappoint. I became more confident in elements, which I pointed before. It looks, I willn't get availability to play in third-person. Does developers know that it deprives sense in character creation? CD Projekt's cut video of breathing two PlayStation versions provided enhancement of suspicion on driving by using of efforts for keeping straight a car after simple turning to the right. Polish studio somewhere heard "give drama" in building of scenes, which they can't do it. Frozen sitting guard awakes on started conversation where asks to pass guns, which a playable character gets in huge heavy pistol. That's man on duty picks a weapon and wipes imaginable sweat by sleeve of own shirt with holding of this shooting piece. It would be bizarre even for New York. Then visit of equal in moves a custody officer, who takes papers, asks about transportation and simultaneously he turns documents on rib and suddenly decides to have a cigarette. Currently, I see Keanu Reeves is one man, who had filming experience before. Don't creative with last names for personages: Blackhand, Silverhand, Smasher, Weyland. The last in correct, but I think it was taken from founder of one corporation in Alien films. Will Cyberpunk 2077’s Weyland have a same occupation? Other surnames recalled for me Japanese gamemakers for whom is hurdle to imagine non-Japanese names since nineties. I can accept a laziness in explanation in making of American names in which I don’t see hard (Yord Rumpelburitz, for example.). I check dictionary in absence of confidence. It perfectly helped me to write one story (I'm not sure in publishing in future.) where action happens in countries of the Eastern Europe. I have a thought that Night City, which developers put in California, willn't have meaning that story will take a place in America.

THQ Nordic hurts games in every variant and it was discovered in re-release. Two computers with system requirements in five-year range had similar mistakes in Men of Valor in which I wanted to replay. THQ Nordic had bought rights in 2015 and game on GOG now. I hear, but don’t see a launching screens with developers logo on modern machine, but on past shows emblem of present owner, which mustn’t be hear. Introduction screens can miss by “escape” in both situations. A small time for appearance of starting menu in a little window, which, fortunately, can wide in full. Two hours of playthrough and in mission of bunker explosion, which is a grand defiance on last hard difficulty, doesn’t launch a trigger with a team member. It can pass with luck by level reloading and watching of unskipping scenes. Original version hasn’t glitches.
