Best if they don't seen Giancarlo Esposito in The Mandalorian then, or even his fantastic portrayal of the villain Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. I found his role as Gus Fring so fantastic that I even got a "Los pollos hermanos" t-shirt. That's how you separate so called "journos" from actual journalists. If you are triggered by it (I'm training myself to ignore it) steer clear of sites like kotaku, polygon and rockpapershotgun - they were the worst offenders with the fabricated "trans poster" in first or second video... Which the Cyberpunk 2077 art director Kasia Redesiuk - who designed the poster herself, explained to those morons in polite words. Or when rockpapershotgun tried to take offence for the fictional animal gang and Mike Pondsmith himself took to reddit to tell that they are not in a place to do it... Strange times indeed.From what I'm reading so far, most of the 'reviewers' seem unnaturally obsessed with how their particular or preferred sexual gender or orientation is represented. Wouldn't it be refreshing to read a review from a gamer who just plays games without fretting over or implying real world issues whilst trying to find a deeper hidden political agenda buried inside a computer game...
This is incorrect, that what will arrive in the post is only a GoG code with fancy pants packaging
All PC retail copies (in Poland at least, IDK about other countries) will contain GOG code.That's how you separate so called "journos" from actual journalists.

This is shocking to me, I always considered you British to the core, almost as Brit as Braben :O Or are you a Brit living in Russia? Talk about misconceptions...

Stamping a public review not only by stating their gender preferences but using it to base an opinion on a computer game is what the issue is...But does that really happen though? Here is the article the first video showed on the thumbnail:
Cyberpunk 2077 is dad rock, not new wave
CD Projekt Red’s open-world game does not exactly have a futuristic worldviewwww.polygon.com
It is long, but what it basically boils down to is this:"Hi, I am a trans person and fan of the cyberpunk genre, and this is my view on CP77. While it does do a bunch of things of the genre right, and the city itself looks stunning and is great to walk around it, I am disappointed about how trans people are depicted in this game. The game is also decidedly less revolutionary when it comes to envisioning the future as one would expect in this genre. As this is of great personal importance to me, this game is not as fun to me as I hoped it would be."
Her final conclusion is:
At no point is she demaning a boycot, saying people should be fired or being outraged in any other way. She simply explains what is important to her in a cyberpunk game, why that is so, how this specific game is and what she thinks of it. It is an individual opinion about a computer game, eloquently written. Does this mean she 'HATES the game'? Or that she is 'CRYING'? Puh-lease.
And predictably you end up with a bunch of dudes who get their panties in a twist because of the unspeakable horror of someone, somewhere having the nerve to voice a different opinion about a computer game based on different interests and preferences. And as a straight white middleclass dude my perspective is indeed different from hers, and the impact of trans representation is going to be virtually non-existent to my enjoyment of the game. In other words: I may not have the same opinion as her about this game. So what. Heck, this was so far the only review that added a perspective beyond the endlessly repeated 'game looks rad, rather traditional gameplay though, and bugs galore.' that is pretty much every other review.
Fortunately, for the people who are CRYING about this and HATE her review, some good news: they can increase the size of their junk in the game, so at least in Night City they wont have to drag their small willy energy around.
You're making a whole load of presumptions there...not only about my personal opinions but also to flavour your ownMaybe I am missing something, but who are you to determine what other people should base their opinion on? That person is being paid to say what she thinks of the game and why. You may then agree or disagree, as you please. If you think any reviewer is using criteria irrelevant to you, you can ignore their reviews. That's all there is to it.
Also, never heard anyone who is complaining about this complain when straight dudes were arguing wether women in Bioware games were hot enough and such stuff.
"I don't care if people are different, as long as they shut up about it and I am never confronted with it."
Sorry mate, that ship sailed and ain't coming back this century. Polygon is probably not the right outlet for you, as they have been taking such perspectives for years. No problem, plenty of other sites that might suit your perspectives better.
