What is your current intention with regards to purchasing Cyberpunk?

Yes, after some patching a couple of weeks later, most likely.

No, what's embarrasing is you bending over as soon as someone decides to preorder a game. 

Not going to pre-order it; Andromeda taught me that much; but I will likely pick it up shortly after release once the reviews and general opinion of the game has been established.

The game looks amazing though, if I am going to be honest, the real reason why I'm so interested is because of the potential for multiplayer arriving sometime after launch. My gaming buddies and I had an absolute blast playing Cyberpunk 2020 together, and we want to experience that again with 2077.

For now the answer is no. I may change my mind if they grab my interest. 

I mean it wouldn't hurt if I signed for some reservation, but why give them cash in advance and you get notting? Is like doling out interest free loan to the publisher. No bank does that and you're just stupid if you devalue your cash like that. Is like a cheap whore (no gender assumption here, look elsewhere you fart) doing it for free.

Again. RDR has that in SPADES. Arthur Morgan is one of the greatest protagonists in gaming history because of the way Rockstar puts you in his shoes and has you experience his arc down to him keeping a journal recording his thoughts and regrets. You see how everyone reacts to him and how he epitomizes the franchise's namesake. I didn't need tunnel vision for that. I can also bring up Shepard or Ellie/Joel from TLoU to a lesser extent.

It’s not about how invested in the character you are. In this case they specifically said it was to give you a sense of how invasive all these cybernetic procedures were and how they affect how you see/sense the world. For example any game HUD elements are actually your cybernetic HUD elements.

“Tunnel vision” could also help give streets and markets a bit of claustrophobic atmosphere of being packed in crowds and unable to see who’s coming up behind you, which could help with the theme. I think Pondsmith once said something to that effect?

If you have no interest in playing, then fair enough, but CDPR apparently had a lot of internal debate before deciding this is the way they could best portray their world.

Maybe in practice it will play much like a generic shooter, but maybe it will be a unique experience. We won’t really know until it’s realised.

I'll probably get it around release, though I don't think I'll pre-order. Pre-ordering is something I rarely do now for any company because of buggy games. Also, since I'm an adult now with bills,  I'm more responsible with my money. While I do want to make sure it's not a mess, I'm not too worried about it because CDPR is usually not that bad with bugs.

Why I'll probably end up getting it close to release if it's not broken? I have a few nitpicks with the witcher series but I found each installment highly enjoyable and they're some of my favorite games today. I really like how CDPR handles world building, attention to detail etc. and although I prefer third person and would've liked the option to choose, first person doesn't bother me.

Games are cheap these days. The price hasn't gone up for about 20 years, which means in real terms price has been declining. So I find it a fairly cheap way of expressing my pleasure for their business decisions. Will I regret pre-ordering? No, if they stop making games I like I'll stop buying those games after I've been burnt (like Bioware). I don't regret pre-ordering games nearly as much as I do getting on board the Sims rip-off experience. Just how much are they going to milk the consumer base for? Sims 3 cost 500 dollars for the complete game, base game + expansions. I'll gamble with 60 to 70 dollars on companies I really like to show appreciation that they're not like EA. You don't have to do it, but I like showing appreciation for people who keep my gaming experiences pleasant. You know "here's 60 dollars up front as a thank you that you're not Blizzard, with always online bullshit and a cash grabbing auction house."

A Cyberpunk genre game made by the more than capable hands of CDPR...

I don't do the whole pre-order thing, but I'll definitely be buying it day 1 or there about.

Really? Base game price hasn't changed too much on that time, but it has risen.

The initial quality and the volume of content in that time, has gone down. Then you have DLC. And then you have microtransucktions.

So, I disagree entirely with your basis. But, you do you I guess. Pre-ordering is a net loss for the community, so glad it works for ya.
