What is your current intention with regards to purchasing Cyberpunk?

No kidding lol

Icing on the cake is he's basically doing to CDPR fans what he abhors them doing to Bioware fans.

I'll probably buy it. I don't preorder anything ever, nor I have anykind of a relationship (be it trustful, supportive, etc) with any company or corporation (or similar legal entity or imaginary community). So before I buy it, I'll will see what initial reactions are, although I don't have any formalized system, threshold, or per-conditions what I'll expect it to met. It's more heuristical and intuitive judgement, something like when it comes and couple days after, I'll spend couple hours reading various user feedback from different sites, some random videos maybe, etc. Kind of a low resolution sense of what's the word on the streets is. It's a quick and dirty, but accurate enough method to detect if a game is a total flop (like 1-3/10). A prospect I find unlikely, but one never knows. As long as a perception is at least average, I'll probably buy it at some point. No particular sites or users in mind (only "critic" I watch is ssethtzeentach). What I am looking for is a random but wide general perspective, not a critique or analysis. I have a low time preference for these things, and it's more depending what sort of schedule I have going on then. No point of buying day one game, if I don't have time to play it until months later.

I am mostly into the setting, because I am a huge fan of tabletop RPG it's based on. Not the first one, which I have never played and definitely not the third one either (Cyberpunk V3.0 if I recall, which was released sometime around early 2000s. The one which totally flopped, and was universally acclaimed as a travesty and joke. Like lol, as an example, rather than doing traditional artwork for the book, like illustrations, etc, they rather used staged photos with zany night-vision filters, which featured Action Man dolls. Production quality for the rules and world building was comparable). 2020 was the shit back, and very popular around here at nineties and early 2000s (maybe it still is, although it's been like 6 years since I have played it). So much actually that there was a translated version of it. It's the only RPG I've seen, where I prefer translation over the original. It's worth of reading for its own sake, if you speak Finnish (vitun hauskaa läppää kannesta kanteen. Esim. Hahmonluonnissa oli tyyliin ohjeet "runkkarista punkkariksi", jne). That's enough for me to pique my interest for the CRPG.

I am pretty neutral towards CDPR. I like the fact that there's diversifying in the industry for triple AAA level (which has traditionally been dominated by Japanese and Western European, especially North American developers), and I especially like that they are Eastern European company (as a sort of Eastern European myself, though I am not a slav). It wouldn't alone warrant me to buy the game, but it's definitely a plus. I have not been thrilled with their past games. Although I have only played Witcher 1, and I wasn't bananas about it. Never finished it actually. I can understand why people like the series, but for me undesirable elements outweighed the enjoyable ones, so I doubt I'll ever continue the series any further (I am aware that the series is supposed to get better from the first one). Trailers for Cyperpunk look really good, but I don't put much weight into marketing, and stuff like is it first person only or third person are pretty meaningless details to me (as long as the premise is interesting, I am pretty omnivorous to almost all other features). So far so good, so much that I cannot think any other game I even remotely waiting for. Maybe The Outer Worlds, but there really isn't anything else onto horizon.
