I think there's crunch and crunch though. You have exploitative, rockstar-like crunch, and you have end of milestone crunch. That one is much harder to avoid for two reasons :
- Making games is one of the hardest software things ever. Seriously. It is both a creative and technological endaevor where you are chasing "fun". That means tons of iterations, unpredictable delays and cuts. Unless you are doing something you already know about, you will have delays. The joke is that you want the game to ship on time, on budget, with all its features. Pick two. Guess why the industry is so fond of formulaic games?
- Rebound effect. Even if you delay, you will suddenly find yourself with more time ahead of you, meaning the temptation to cram in more features, to do more is sky-high. With it comes more crunch, because that too won't go well.
I read somewhere that the management / pre-production of CDPR is shit. That would certainly lead to more crunch.
It is also bitter irony that a game about a distopian future where corporations rule is produced under extremely heavy crunch.

Why wait for Cyberpunk 2077 when I am playing Cyberpunk 2020 in real life?
Nice RTX. Textures and LOD look awesome too with tons of NPCs on top of that.
It really is. Don't even need to buy a 3090 to enjoy this level of graphics.
Like every Cyberpunk city, it may look fascinating but there is inconvenient truth behind the scene. I would advise keeping distance from this game for now.
Losing today's daily run was frustrating. I had 10+ hearts, 30+ bombs, 10+ ropes, the jetpack and the shotgun, and I was crushed by a platform (not even a trap) in one of the levels leading to the final boss. Ugh. This game is both the best and the worst game of the year.

Thank you for having interest though. I love this city but it is not at its best times. Please do visit once it (and the world) gets better!
I wonder what it is that draws us to these sights and worlds. As you pointed out, not even including China in the mix, such cities aren't exactly havens. So why does it make our imagination soar so much?
I'm guessing that above all, it's different. That's why Ghost in the Shell was so incredible, because of how strange, eerie and other the place seemed to be. And because we did not know it, the issues and the way it feels to live there weren't at the forefront of our minds when looking at it.
There's also a sort of morbid fascination with things that are so different, even if in a bad way. A question of "would this be it?" when it comes to solving problems we are facing, which have no clear solutions. Maybe it's as the Cyberpunk trailer said, the possibilities. The opportunities.
Awesome video all in all!
I have an interest in Hong Kong since my parents are from there. I haven't visited this city for more than 10 years now and really want to visit it again. But as the current situation that is right now I don't find it a good time to do so...
What's is a JRPG really? /S
Explain yourself.Don't destroy my dreams pls
My Crush has already done that last week
I was approaching hardware update, gpu, cpu, nothing was locked yet. It was evidently not a wise budget move but it was doable.
Today I see that I must call a plumber. That will cost me between 100-200 if I go by google.

Excellent question and beautifully written post. Made me dream of things to come.
Because we are a curious race. We climb mountains just to look on the other side, explore the depths of the oceans, sailed the world in big wooden boats and dream of flying to other planets. It's a bit of a romanticized view, but there is some truth to it.
Longing for the unknown is hard coded into our genes. It was an evolutionary advantage.
Amazing write-up. So many cultures in the mix in this tiny place. Being different is what makes we Hong Kongers proud. Living here though is certainly "cyberpunky". Huge corporations. Politics. Income disparity. Low birth rate. Very, very fast pace of life. You name it. A recent local poll even shows that nearly half of the respondents have symptoms of depression (yeah I am one of those people). Future is uncertain and people are scared.
But one thing is certain. We will go through this shit, somehow. Maybe in a year, or in some decades. Or maybe we do not survive to see it But I truly believe history runs like cycle and there are always ups-and-downs. It's down time now but better times will arrive.
A fellow Hong Konger (hope you don't mind calling you that)! Hopefully all of these will pass and you can step on the soil here once again soon!
Sadly, it is always more expensive than what you would expect. The price range is correct though... for the usual plumbing issues.

Good news, the local one I randomly contacted told me that he would be cool with 'just' 20 euros to go see what the issue is, to 'pay for the coffee'.
Now, the real worry is how much to do the job.
I don't mind, but I never considered myself a Hong Konger. But I support you! I hope it will get better for you in the near future.
Not related to Valve/Index at all. Just supports SteamVR.

Great news. Hopefully Facebook comes to their senses and gets rid of the requirement soon.
They have to realize how fucking stupid it is to force people into a social media account just to play some video games via a peripheral. The most unnecessary privacy violating bs.
Also hopefully as they get rid of the requirement...they drop it by a 100$ for the holidays
SMT Noturne Remastered might be coming to PC.
Carto is a pretty game. Unfortunately, it supports the DS4 natively on GP, and doesn't seem to have a controller config built in. It uses the O to accept style config, and it's breaking my brain.
Buy it on Steam then.Carto is a pretty game. Unfortunately, it supports the DS4 natively on GP, and doesn't seem to have a controller config built in. It uses the O to accept style config, and it's breaking my brain.
$17.99... no thanks. I can just load up DS4Windows or just deal with it.
I spent most of my time trying to figure out how to get the resolution I want, so I don't know. Try the demo, that's about as much as I've played.
As for it being worth 18, not much is worth 18 to me. I have too much on my plate to spend money like that. Especially when it's available to play for free.
