skabbywag02, do games w I'm so glad I waited nearly 3 years to play Cyberpunk 2077, but I dread the fact that this is our new normal

Don’t forget to pre-order their latest DLC!

scala,

After they lied that their first major DLC will be free. I’m happy to wait till Phantom Liberty is 50% off or more. Not going to forget it’s launch. Review embargoes. Last gen performance. B roll footage forced into reviews to hide all the bugs.

GeoGio7,

The tweet you linked to is just a gif of the kool aid man they tweeted. Did they alter the tweet?? Wtf

Twitter doesn’t show the tweet they replied to.

@CyberpunkGame Will the game have Free dlc like your big brother @witchergame?

They released a bonus pack for free, so I’m not sure why it was complaining. They were never going to release a massive DLC like phantom liberty for free.

I can hold out until it’s $19.99 – this is normal for me.

I bought it for less than that from a pawn shop during the peak hate. I remember the pawn guy being like “that ones got real bad reviews” and I said “I’ll try any game for $14”.
I tucked it away for a year or so and then loved it.

it’s unclear if Musk did actually get the cameo in the end.

Uh, what? How is that unclear? Is he in the game? No?? Then he didn’t “get the cameo”, even if they went so far as to map his face, etc…

    I can’t recall ever seeing a Musk character; but Hideo Kojima made an appearance as himself.

    Hdcase, (edited )

    For real? Where, when?

    Makes sense, there are some big Cyberpunk Easter eggs in Death Stranding so he must get along with CDPR.

    There are plenty of drugged out street filth with guns in the game. You SURE he didn’t have a cameo?

    Empricorn,

    Not even slightly sure. But out of all the people playing, modifying, and data-mining it, they still haven’t found an obviously Musk face somewhere…?

    Hdcase,

    Some people believe he showed up briefly in one scene in the background but it was never substantiated.

    reverendsteveii, do gaming w Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous"

    They told him to get fucked, so one of his chode toadies on xitter started a rumor that they added him to the game and then removed him in a patch.

    Entertainmeonly,

    This is easily verified by installing an original hard copy into a xbox one with no internet. It installs a “beta” version. You know you did it correctly when the opening scene has no over dialogue just music. Every vendor stand can be interacted with and certain models can be looked at in 3d in the menus. It’s wild to play now that we’re on 2.0.

    TwilightVulpine, do gaming w Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous"

    What a ridiculous society we live in that someone can be so rich that they get to threaten people with a gun and don't get arrested. What an unhinged asshole he is.

    You don’t even need to be rich, being a cop is more that enough.

    At least those bastards certainly aren’t rich, better than nothing I guess!

    qyron, (edited ) do gaming w Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous"

    I don’t own this game and I don’t intend on buying any time soon.

    But when I eventually get it, if I think find that figure in the game, I’m going after it and throw it off a very tall building. Twice.

    bermuda,

    I played through the main story twice and I dont ever remember encountering a character based on Elon or a character voiced by him. His then-girlfriend Grimes has a character with a medium length side-questline, but that character isn’t based on her either. Part of the quest means “dealing with” her new boyfriend, but I didn’t really think that guy was based on Elon either.

    There are a lot of corpo people in the game that you deal with, but most of them are just parodies of all billionaires, not really one in particular.

    Would be shitty if he’s in Phantom Liberty though.

    reverendsteveii,

    You did not encounter elon, a character based on him, or a character voiced by him in cyberpunk 2077

    reksas, do gaming w Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous"

    If they ended up adding him him in any way, he should be just removed. That piece of shit parasite shouldnt get any recognition anywhere. Not even negative.

    Joker,

    What if they turned him into a drooling hobo or cyber psycho who fried his brain with a homemade implant? I could be down with that. If not, I’m counting on a mod to remove his ass.

    apotheotic,

    Homeless folk are victims of a system(generally), he doesn’t deserve to be portrayed that way

    Joker,

    He would be the victim of his implant.

    apotheotic,

    I’m down with that bit for sure - would prefer the cyber psycho or just finding him as a corpse with a letter or something and some environmental storytelling. Nothing too high effort, mind. But it’d be nice to at least virtually know he fucked himself

    reksas,

    Any mention will also preserve his name which he doesnt deserve.

    frog, do gaming w Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous"

    So… basically, Musk turned up at a studio and threatened the devs with a gun (which antique or not, could have been loaded and functional - shooting with antique guns is a thing) to make them put him in the game?

    I know there’s a massive cultural difference around guns between the UK and the US, but I’m genuinely struggling to see how “a man has turned up to our studio with a gun because he wants us to put him in our game” doesn’t warrant a call to the police.

    Sabata11792,
    @Sabata11792@kbin.social avatar

    He's rich, the law dose not apply. He could have paid his way out of a few murder charges too.

    frog,

    Hence why, when calling the police, you wouldn’t say who it is. Just “a man” or “a person” has come in with the gun. Which happens to be true, since until proved otherwise, Musk can indeed be accurately described as a person. Whether he manages to wiggle out of it later is less important than the immediate problem of getting the gun-wielding lunatic out of the studio.

    Sabata11792,
    @Sabata11792@kbin.social avatar

    Musk can indeed be accurately described as a person

    Kinda pushing things here, but I see where your coming from.

    frog,

    Yeah, hence why I said “until proven otherwise”. At some point someone will pull the mask off and reveal the monstrosity underneath. But until then we have to be the bigger people, give the benefit of the doubt, and assume he is actually a human being.

    luciferofastora,

    Whether or not the gun was loaded, the person wielding it sure was, and it’s much easier to say “Call the cops on him” if you’re not worried about whether that guy might be rich and vindictive enough to ruin your life over it.

    No matter whether Musk would have actually had any way of doing so, the fear of the possibility alone can be enough to cow you into compliance.

    frog,

    There are ways of surreptitiously sending a message to, say, someone who isn’t in the room, without making it a very obvious call to the police. Or, for that matter, just dial the number on your phone and don’t say anything other than “your gun is really impressive but I’m a bit uncomfortable with having it pointed in this direction”. The operator on the other end will know what to do with that.

    Because another way Musk could ruin your life is shooting you while showing off and waving a gun around, given that he is immature and arrogant enough to have loaded it, and reckless enough for his finger to slip.

    VegaLyrae,

    Yes thankfully we have 911 by text in much of the USA now

    VegaLyrae,

    US gun owner here:

    It 100% warrants a call to the police.

    Sounds like assault with a deadly weapon, and if he took it out to show, then it's brandishing. It doesn't matter if it was non-firming because the target didn't know that, and typically these laws are written to be what "a reasonable person would believe".

    Also, at the time this happened he was a known user of Marijuana and thus not eligible to own a firearm, as that rule had not yet been struck down.

    frog,

    Thanks for the explanation! It sounds fairly similar to the law here, where it’s based on what a reasonable person would believe - so even waving a realistic toy gun at someone would get someone in trouble, if the person being threatened with it would reasonably believe it was real.

    reverendsteveii,

    Sounds like assault with a deadly weapon

    If charged as a felony, you could be facing a sentence of two to four years in State prison. Regular assault (Penal Code § 240), is always charged as a misdemeanor offense.

    The instrument used includes any type of firearm, knife, bat, car, or anything other type of weapon that could produce significant harm to the victim.

    In order to prove a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, the prosecutor has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you assaulted another person and you used a deadly weapon or force that would likely result in great bodily injury.

    An assault charge does not require that you actually make physical contact with or injure the person.

    [cronisraelsandstark.com/assault-with-deadly-weapo…](https://www.cronisraelsandstark.com/assault-with-deadly-weapon-penal-code-245-a-1#:~:text=Assault%20with%20a%20Deadly%20Weapon%20%2D%20Penal%20Code%20245(a)(,four%20years%20in%20State%20prison).

    If this was in California he is absolutely guilty of assault with a deadly weapon based on what he has admitted to personally.

    averagedrunk,

    Yep. I like guns. I like old guns. I wouldn’t show up to someone’s job telling them to include me in their project unless I was invited.

    CSharp,

    Don’t believe the marijuana + gun = federal crime has been struck down

    VegaLyrae,

    In the 10th and 5th circuit it is iirc.

    It's still on the forms and the ATF can probably arrest you for it, but as of last month you would have 2 federal circuits of precedent.

    doggle,

    It’s unclear if this even happened in the US; CD Projekt is Polish…

    Also consider that the gun wan apparently, no shit, a flintlock pistol. They may have thought it was a prop or something.

    frog,

    I don’t think the Polish are more likely to be fine with having a gun waved at them than any other nationality.

    @YMS@kbin.social avatar

    The English voice recordings for Cyberpunk 2077 were all done in London and LA. So it's basically sure that it wasn't Poland, and it's much more likely that it was LA than London in this case.

    reverendsteveii,

    I have shot and killed a deer with a flintlock gun. They’re not toys or props. He committed assault with a deadly weapon and the whole word is just like “Oh, that’s just wish.com iron man. You know how he is.”

    zik,

    Grimes would have recorded at a studio in the US along with the other English language voice actors.

    Hdcase,

    I assume it happened at a recording or mo-cap studio in the states.

    Chozo, do gaming w Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous"

    Elon is literally everything Cyberpunk warns is about. He's the biggest corpocunt the world has ever seen. Arasaka is exactly what Elon wants X Corp to be. He's actually trying to make chips that get implanted into your brain. He wants his own Relic. He wants to be the immortal Saburo Arasaka.

    The lack of self awareness is astounding.

    The thing about being "Armed" is the fact you are indeed dangerous. As a gun is a tool with one job, to kill people.

    It's not like a gun is a fashion accessory for these people..... right?
