Hades II tops the list so hard, it even brought the previous game up with it!

I initially questioned whether something like Monster Hunter World (now that it’s been stripped of Denuvo) would also make sense for whatever they’re doing with it, and then I realized this might be in a convention setting, so maybe better to not run a demo of a game with an hour of setup (character creation + progressing far enough to save and quit)

 

spoilerSo it’s possible to quickhack the cops that try to ambush you during this quest. Part of me still want to physically Elmer-glue their kiroshis to TV screens and forcibly educate them on the difference between Raffen Shivs and Aldecaldos rather than kill them, but at least they’re easier for pure Netrunner builds to wipe.

 

Despite my attempts to be stealthy, I tend to be spotted at some point anyway

 

I put 20/20/20 into intelligence, technical, and body. Now I’m getting attribute points I could put either into cool or reflexes. Which of those last two would be more useful for a netrunner (especially one that relies quite heavily on Overclock, and may occasionally use tech or smart weapons)?

 

When a certain character in the game dies because they’re still loaded into the Net at the moment when someone disconnects the jack, it kinda reminds me of IRL USB devices, where failing to dismount/eject them on the computer before physically removing them can cause problems, especially for the USB device. It almost feels like bait for a dark joke.

What are some other touches of bizarre realism in the electronics of Cyberpunk?

 

I can stare at one of a building’s security cameras from across the street like a creepy ghost child, and then the entire camera system stares at the people inside and sets them on fire, one by one. It’s like something out of a horror movie

I agree, honestly. The way I have it configured, I can even run Starfield (although the way I initially had it, the graphics looked like something off of a PS2/3 or a 3DS, and now the loading screens actually give me plenty of time to read the loading screen tips).

And the indie games (and also Elder Scrolls Online) that I normally play don’t even give me that much trouble.

As someone who’s never taken a drug in their life, I wonder what sort of reaction someone on LSD would have to something like Tetris Effect.

I mean, my nickname for that game is “Trippy Tetris”.
