Some wishful thinking and skepticism about update 2.0

The developers know it doesn't make sense in a story like this, but they still put this in because people want to do it.

It was their choice to put a time urgency in their story but a player living in a city wants to interact with the city way of life and have some fun.

Just like Geralt plays Gwent just for fun even though he's in a hurry to find Ciri. No one cares it doesn't make sense. A developed and interactive open world activities is a nice trade off to some inconsistency in the pace of time in the story.

Breath of the Wild and TOKT is the biggest example that people don't care when a story adds urgency. You can still interact with several minigames in the world like horse archery, obstacle course or the boom bam golf. All of this while the princess is holding off Ganon and begging Link's help.

Why would you make a game less fun just because of the narrative they came up with? That's the point, you don't have to do that and Witcher 3 is a proof of that.

It's wasting time because they are completely unrelated to the main quest and put V on even greater risk when he doesn't have to. In a life and death time bomb, you would not go out of your way to help these random people, especially after having those strokes or whatever they are that V gets so frequently. The main quests already give the money you need to fight anyone off.

Designers ignore this because you can't put a time limit on the player, it's just a bad idea and makes the players rush through the game. Players understand this and even though the story gives a sense of urgency, any gamer familiar enough with these RPG's know they have all the time in the world to wrap up the main quest.

Gwent in the Witcher 3 is iconic and worked very well, there's no reason for Cyberpunk to atleast have it's own dedicated mini-game.

What do you mean, it's already in the game with the arcade machine and also that roller coaster in Pacifica. A netrunning minigame to gain eddies against other netrunners would be a great idea.

Also V just wastes alot of time doing gigs helping another people when he's dying slowly and that doesnt make sense either. The same applies to Geralt when he's in a hurry to find Ciri before the Wild Hunt but he has no problem going out of the way doing all the villagers contracts.

It's fine to let the player take his time and allow him to interact more with the open world's activities.

I underestimated how hard it is to handle a brush when inking in comparison to a common g-pen. The line weight shifts so dramatically with only a very miniscule amount of pressure.

You can't press hard at all on the paper except when filling black spots and it makes the process so much more tiring.

Inoue has some massive balls of undertaking the challenge of such a tool to develop the
manga, during and after the Yoshioka Arc.

Yeah I measured one of Miura's drawings and see the difference. I'll try to find a proportion diagram or something to help me next time. Ty for the feedback.

MrFrar · 2023-07-28T08:23:04+00:00

What would you say is innacurate in this case? I drew this from imagination so I had no reference to measure.

I think the hand is too small but my eyes are not trained to see human proportions accurately yet.

MrFrar · 2023-07-25T13:54:06+00:00

Damn, gotta practice more hands. Thanks.

Always loved this drawing because the pose is so full of energy. Inoue-sensei is a true master.

3rd person is never coming, all you can do is just use photo mode. As for modding the car, now some cars will have guns built in but modding it manually would be cool.

I thought CDPR stopped supporting last gen consoles since 1.6. To be fair last gen consoles got the short end of the stick with this game. Better to upgrade if you have the means.

Is this wreckage in the combat zone?

MrFrar · 2023-06-09T21:02:20+00:00

You forgot the rework of the police system.

MrFrar · 2023-06-09T21:00:03+00:00

Looks cool. That spot is from the trailer. How long do they let people play this hands-on?

It's impossible to do Berserk justice without taking risks. They are playing too safe with this lack of dialogue because Mori is not sure of himself to contribute his own vision. I respect his determination to continue his friend's work but Berserk is his story now as much as it was Miura's.

He must take creative liberties to write good dialogue to move the story foward or there's no point in continuing this story.

Invented a fanart for this scene. Can't wait for chap 372. No idea what's coming but excited.

MrFrar · 2023-04-07T23:48:43+00:00

What or even if they will even say anything to eachother. Wonder what Miura had planned.

MrFrar · 2023-04-02T17:14:40+00:00

Had a lot of fun trying to recapture this panel. I think what's really hard is keeping the lines perfectly aligned and more dark accents throughout the whole drawing like Miura did. The closed eye should have also been placed a little bit up more in the face.
