Non-Gamer Watches #46 I learn about Night City -- Cyberpunk 2077 

So cool.

I was literally jumping on my bed when he first came out!! 😂 Stole the whole show

Must have been such a cool moment.

@@HannaHsOverInvested it was

I hope you had/are having a great time!

@@HannaHsOverInvested btw the guy from the crowd who yelld it got a Cyberpunk 2077 Collector Edition from the Dev's (about 200$ worth).

@@merowinger4802 apparently he didn't. Says another commenter.

and a trophy in game called "Breathtaking"

🤣🤣 exactly.

Oh I seeeeee

So cool!

Have fuuuun!!

So interesting!

REALLY!!! Thats crazy!

I think I would like to be a side seat player... I will have to wait for my moment when I'm allowed to have a bigger bubble to bring a gamer in.

@@HannaHsOverInvested I would play it for you if I could. 😁

I appreciate that.

So cool that they kept that under wraps. I will have to reach out to them about reacting to their stuff!

Interesting.

Indeed, and you start to notice that some configurations of button make more "sense" to you. And even if you don't "get" a game initially (maybe it's a completely new type of game you're trying out, or maybe you're a complete newbie at games in general) trust me when I say that adapting and learning a new set of buttons fairly quickly becomes really easy. A thing of maybe 30 minutes tops for getting the precise feel for a whole new game and never thinking about which button you are pressing ever again. Everyone tends to develop preffered settings for controls they use with time, but there's certainly a pattern we learn from all games in general. Movement and camera are things you'll learn once, and when you get the hang of it you'll never need explained to you again. It works the same in basically any game, with maybe one twist now and then thrown in that you take maybe ten seconds to process. The same can be said for how game interfaces work. So there's actually a shared visual and motor language that everyone that plays for a while instantly recognizes when they look at the screen. Pick it up how to do it once, and you know exacly what to look for the next time you find yourself in a situation even remotely close to it. It's not that games are "alike", but more like in the sense that you get used to analizing what you see procedually. Like how you know how to read a comic because it follows the same rules of how we read anything else: left to right, top to bottom. A few panels might be exceptions, but your brain sorts them quickly no? But... Sometimes there's such things like "badly planned game controls/controllers", when two important buttons can't be triggered consistently when you need them. For example, imagine there are two buttons just slightly apart from each other, but you need to press them at the same time *solely* with your right thumb. Placing your thumb slightly unevenly over them and pressing down might cause you to sometimes activate only one of the buttons, thus making you input the wrong action in game. Make the action that requires said double button press important to master in order to progress in the game, and voilá: you have a recipe for disaster. It would make much more sense if those two buttons could be pressed by different fingers altogether, right? So it's important, to avoid accidental hiccups, that every button function and hardware can be swapped around freely. Is the controller that you have at home clunky? Are you more confotable with a keyboard? Feel like playing the game on a dance step mat? Be my guest.

I bet!

Interesting.

I watched one already! Pretty recently so you were right. It was after this haha

@@HannaHsOverInvested Nice! Watching it now. Seems you have only one the first one for 1.0 (the base game before it was rebuilt cause there were so many problems with the first version. I'll post a comment in there after I finish.

Yea, ditto. I'm much quicker on the uptake than many of my studentpeers when it comes to absorbing and cataloging information, like weird concepts in physics. I just log it as "rules" and move on, I don't necissarily need to understand why it is so, it just is, and I roll with it.

So interesting... this is a skill I REALLY dont have hahahaha

Interesting!!

You're breathtaking!

Waiting for Henry Cavill.

A few people have suggested this to me.

hahah why thank you. I will be making a keanu breathtaking shirt for my next cyberpunk video hahah

Okay! Thank you!

"Kamyonèt" is actually haitian creole, which is based on the french word "camionette". Hence the similarities with other latin languages ;)

the keanu reveal was from last year

Right

I wonder what your opinion of Witcher 3 is, because functionally it's a first person that.

I want to be a passive observer in a story. I think that's why. Or at least that's what I theorized so far.

Dang!! That sounds cool! I wish I had read this yesterday before I'd filmed my last video of the year! Maybe this one will get don't in January.

WOW that's so cool and weird.

They were actually hiring teen gamers for their drone programs. Absolutely sick if you ask me www.silicon.co.uk/e-innovation/military-gamers-drones-160784?cmpredirect Apparently younger gamers had less moral objections.

@@pawelzietek The military has hired professional gamers for several unique jobs. Drone pilots were one of those jobs, as well as remote bomb defusal squads, satellite techs, etc. Military strategy is effectively a strategy game, and having someone able to detach emotions in those situations is useful and leads to more successful outcomes. Is it a great feeling? No, war is awful - but the alternative is having longer wars with more dead.

@@HannaHsOverInvested the military has been leveraging first person shooters to some degree since the 90s, and in the mid 00s there was a shooter produced in 2 versions, one for the military and one for the civilian market. It builds habits like finding cover and checking corners of rooms as you enter and that kind of thing. FPS games by themselves aren't enough, but they do build useful habits, especially for MOUT or Military Operations in Urban Terrain.

@@zebrion5793 A good example to reference is Enders Game. It highlights extensively that "gaming" is simply just a strategical simulation of real life.

Someone told me you could get through without killing anyone. I pick that route.

@@HannaHsOverInvested in good rpg of course ! But most of rpg now a days aren't that good , but 10 or even more years ago were so good !

@@HannaHsOverInvested It's a bit untrue for Cyberpunk. Well, you can, but you'll still have to fight. But you can use a range of non-lethal weapons like Electric staff and things like that; or invest in an upgrade for your cybereyes which makes all your weapons - including firearms - non-lethal. But you still shoot people; just non-lethaly. But you can avoid a lot of fights with clever discussion choices, yes.

@@gerardlacroix6015 also, non-lethal takedowns are quite effective. Sneaking up behind folks and choking them out. It is harder to avoid others around them noticing you, but very satisfying. You generally can't get away with doing everyone in a mission like that though, especially at lower levels. Later on you can largely break the stealth system haha. The quickhack System Reset lets you hack people and knock them out - haven't tried it on Adam Smasher yet though ;). I'm guessing if you want no-kill playthrough you'd need to do non-lethal shooting, or get the rocket launcher arm and tranquilizer dart ammo. Also there are hacks to temporarily blind people or deafen them so they don't notice you taking their friends down, and you can hack other stuff in the environment to distract people.

One of these additions again. The first video is a Cinematic of one of the missions you play, so that particular one is a pre-rendered animation rather than gameplay. Think of it like a movie trailer, but it isnt spoiling what you actually see/play.

Plus, we had NO CLUE he was in the game, LET ALONE ON STAGE.

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers! :)

That must have been a really cool moment if no one knew.

@@HannaHsOverInvested No one knew

I wish I was involved in this world at that time.

🤣🤣🤣 right.

OMFG AMAZING!!!

Actually they didn't... the guy confirmed that CDProjectRed never got back to him for some reason. Whether it just got lost in the chaos or something, they ended up never sending it after they said they would :( kinda sad tbh

@@WingTzu343 😒😒 bummer.

Thanks!

So cool. So breathtaking.

General/generic, I'm asking about marketable.

@@HannaHsOverInvested All skills are marketable. But to the point I think you mean, no, you cannot put down that you are good at video games, and expect a positive response to your resume, regardless of which position you are seeking. But general hand eye coordination, puzzle solving, attention to detail...these are skills that transfer to many things, especially working with your hands in come capacity.

Thank youuu

So cool.

So interesting.

I love him too.
