Why Ray Tracing in Video Games isn't Very Impressive (yet).
If we didn't have military ads we would either not have a military at all, or forced to use a draft. Both of which are objectively worse alternatives.
I think you're being a bit hard ,stop being so damn picky.
This is not just a great game. This is a masterpiece of mankind.
4:28 I noticed how his hand, instead of going to Atreus, goes to the knife. A symbol of violence. Kind of shows how his violent past makes it hard for him to be there for his son and how Kratos chose to protect his violent past, rather than tell Atreus anything until the end of the game.
Nowadays everyone is an expert critique.
I have a nitpick with this video: Nielsen doesn't do content ratings for TV. Nielsen ratings determine how many people/households are watching a specific show. If the show has high ratings, then it's popular. If a show has low ratings, then it's not as popular. (I think that's how it goes, anyways.)
'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: "A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes." Curiously, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: "A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."' Good ol Douglas Adams.
Amazing critique, subscribed
amazing vid
Honestly I find all these visual critiques so nitpicky. Aside from the aggresive time of day changes and lighting inconsistencies, I hardly noticed these. I think you could go through any photorealistic game and find a bunch of far more egregious errors. This is easily the best looking game I've ever played. No, the graphics aren't perfect, but it's hardly "two steps back".
Also this video refering IRL ads is so true and one big example of this is cocacola. I mean one of the trailers said "this is not just a video game, this is a warning"
I wish CDPR saw this vid and realised people care about shit like this and how much better small stuff like this makes the game.
I stand by the point that it is anti competitive to allow ads as large corporations get an advantage and humans are susceptible to what is shown and said and easily manipulated. Not that I have any faith in capitalism though.
21:36 That's not true. You *can* climb that granite rock face (El Capitan). It's the first thing I did when I saw it. And iirc there's loot on top.
What you describe can be seen along Woodward Avenue in Detroit, from West Grand Boulevard to 7 Mile Road. No where else in the city will see billboards for luxury liquors, and all in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Surprisingly, there is a grocery store. Along 7 Mile, though, you will not, but you'll be able to buy the three things that will lift your spirits: alcohol, marijuana, and religion.
0:55 no way i got a guy with 235 hours in cyberpunk and has less achievements than me
Sure lets just act like Link from The Legend Of Zelda hasn't been around for nearly 40 years.
Ich brauche ein werbevideo für cyberpunk in night City wie man in einem Store einkaufen geht
Cyberpunk night City Vide; fordert in dem Video [Kommentare] zur Gestaltung von night City (virtuell) + Geschäfte (Stores) 🎉❤🍀🌿✨
Das Video hier ist night City Display Werbung
Veganes Kochen zwischen Duft Nebel bunt

Gibt es da auch ein kaufland?
On the story: sci fi is interesting as a platform to introduce new ideas, new concepts, new technology with new applications and new implications. All this with the emphesis on NEW. The first story did a great job and made the story interesting. The second story made it a back drop. The introduction of the zeniths could have been a great stage of colliding civilisations with the introduction of new technology infusing with the existing ones we already had. It's hard to explore this world after the main mission. It's all in all pretty but shallow.
POV: goto North Korea. “0 advertising anywhere” 😂😂😂
Time to unionize!
I loved the video! I have one suggestion though. I think you could add a list of games featured in the description. Or even better for future videos, add a title card the first time you show footage from a specific game. That way if someone sees something they like they'll know where it comes from.
The video description has been updated. Thank you for the suggestion!
ooooOoooOOooooOOOOOO! SOJASIL MACHISTADOR! AN EXXXXPLOSION OF TASTE! that one's still stuck in my head and I haven't play cyberpunk in a year
#1 in my best games ever but that shit goes fucking haywire every 2 weeks
At first i read cyberpunk 2077 in a world of AIDS
I live in Krakow, Poland (BTW one of the city where CDPR has it's studio) where it's pretty much totally forbidden to place billboards and most of the outdoor ads with only fee exceptions. The quality of life after this regulation improved greatly and I would love to see this kind of regulations in the whole country where we have a problem with outdoor ads in general.
Huh? Nothing from within can help with emotional pain? I guess metacognition and mindfulness don't exist then...
The fact that you made this particular video ad-free is awesome, just subscribed.
There's a bit of irony at 6:43 in the construction "It wasn't until halfway through the game [...] *that I finally understood the intuitive nature* of the open world." Not so intuitive, then, eh?
Fantastic analysis. As someone who also loves this game the way you do, I found this video to tackle some of the more annoying features I havent seen others talking about. That damn campfire animation!! How did they not notice? How did it not bother them? The dark lighting in armor or face paint shops! Why would they decide to make the lighting IN-shop dependent on the lighting OUTSIDE of the shop?? So many silly decisions (or critical oversights) in an otherwise amazing game.
Ack!! And the invisible walls! Good lord, that was so frustrating. Especially when you're on one of the Quen missions - there's an area nearby with a campfire but you can't get TO the campfire easily, because there's dozens of invisible walls.
Can definitely say, though, climbing trees ranks near the bottom of "fun things to do as a human" for me.
Omg. The knockdowns from enemies. Aloy takes a little nap every time she gets knocked over. It's so, so frustrating.
In fairness to skill trees that only unlock in a certain order, that's...pretty standard, ya know?
The stormbird incident with the sky in burning shores is a nice touch though
you can press O to reset the shildwing so u dont need to do these 2-3 steps
the point of the vertical grapple points is to glide after you shoot yourself into the air
Now that you point it out it’s scary how many of those ads I recognize and can hear in my head even though they are years old
Nicola! Taste the lo- SHUT UP!
alot of the complaints you have are things you only start to notice with games you really enjoyed imo. also the glider clip shown is unfair. that deescalated faster than normal due to the game not wanting you to enter a quest area. you can immediately tell when the game starts pulling you down more vertically in that clip.
My Favortie Cyberpunk goes like this "Momochi Momochi Momochi Momochi"
perversion of humanity is correct. the ball is rolling so fast though
Nobody: Adam: I hate the way that you, talk the way that you walk, i hate the way that you dress.
This is one reason why I love the country side and will stay here forever. After only a day in larger cities, bunch of people, noice, cars and ads I get stressed and tired. But then on the way back home, all quiet, open landscapes and fresh air. It's like all the stress just seize existing
Thanks for this video, great great great help to me! Thank you very much 🙏
I played and beat this game and couldn't help but feel like it was slightly disappointing the entire time but could never figure out why. You summed it up perfectly for me
Not being able to climb trees was a weird gripe. Or the glider not deploying instantly.
The fact i actually wanna try NICOLA! and "taste the love" just proves how good these ads are
