What is your current intention with regards to purchasing Cyberpunk?

No, sounds like a game that’s worthy of a pre order so far.

The setting looks cool, but I put "maybe, depending on reviews." That first person POV is the problem for me. It always feels claustrophobic, like I'm navigating the world through a periscope. Take the same field of view and stick my character in the middle of it instead of behind it, and suddenly everything's dandy.

How hard is it to change the POV programming once the game is this far along, I wonder? Any chance we'll get lucky and they'll announce that third person will be available after all?

Not that hard I imagine, but there’s more to it than code.  Camera style is baked into a lot of game design decisions, like for example larger interiors being needed to accommodate maneuvering the third person camera.

The game is first person so no preorder.
i will wait for a few weeks after it comes out or maybe wait for modding possibilities.

Day 0, game is gonna be huge. Easily my most anticipated game in the last 5 years.

Yep, I learned that the hard way by letting the buildup for BioShock: Infinite influence me, the game was a letdown after all the hype Irrational caused around it by all the talking and not showing they did for that game.  Its more accepted now that there were problems with the game, but talking bad about it near its launch would get you essays about how dumb you were about not seeing the true meaning behind the narrative and how awesome that ending was.  It was also the first game I remember having the goals for pre-orders on Steam where they had four or five titles with a pre-order goal to get extra unlocks.

I'm on the fence since its kind of not the type of game I would play but given time I may play, definitely not going to preorder i'm going to give it six months or so till I decide.

I wholeheartedly agree!

The whole "1st vs 3rd person" thing is a non-issue with me. I play all my Bethesda games in 1st person and others like Mass Effect and The Witcher type games in 3rd person and enjoy both types. I feel that it's far from a controversy.
