It really should not have lauched like that. That being said, I loved the game even in it's broken form. I just played it again recently (this time on a high end PC) and it is significantly better. Game is fantastic and I cannot wait for an expansion or even the next game in like 7-10 years.
Cyberpunk's issue in my opinion was never the bugs or stability of the game. All those issues can be fixed, and while it sucks to pay 60 bucks for a blatantly unfinished game, that's the world we live in.
No the real issue with cyberpunk is its horrifying lack of depth and complete lack of life. In skyrim for example NPCs will go about their days like normal people would. In the morning they leave their houses, go to work, in the evening they go to tarvens, and at night they go back home and go to bed. This is a small feature that goes a long way to making the world feel alive. Walk into Afterlife at 6am, or at 6pm, the same people will be there, the same wounded merc will be there, everything will be the same. The only time that changes is once you pass certain parts of the main story, which is hardly any consolation. Most restaurants and bars, that you can even access, all sell the exact same shit, all the same prepackaged food. The only times you can order food that's actually made is in 2 parts of scripted events in the main story, which again, is small but this is again a small thing that does a lot to make the world feel more real. There's side mission where you save a small diner from being robbed, afterwards the guy tells you anything you want on the menu is free, you open the shop menu, and its all the same prepackage shit, all at full price, unless they've finally fixed that. But even then, I see the ovens going, the fryers frying, but what I'm offered to buy is the same shit I can get at a vending machine. I won't go on about how dead the world feels but there are many many more examples. Which personally I don't see CD fixing because they've never mentioned it, nor do most people when they bitch about the bugs
Then there's the lack of depth, which frankly for something claiming to be an RPG is pathetic. Your choices mean nothing, less than nothing. One of the best examples was the gameplay trailer they released of the assault on the animals protecting a netwatch agent. Before you get to him you fight the leader of the Animals, one of the several major gangs in Night City, after the player wins, at the end of the trailer the narrator teases you about whether you will spare them or not and the major rippling effects that will have. Which is nothing, that leader is never mentioned again, killed or alive. You kill the leader of one of the largest gangs in Night City and its swept under the rug, never mentioned again. In fact fuck with the rest of the gangs too, kill their members on mass, and destroy their operations. You won't even get as much as an angry text as a consequence. The lack of even a basic faction system in a game set in Night City is just ridiculous.
This is made all the worse by the fact the main story of cyberpunk is only about 25-30 hours, when an RPG has a story that short its normally because there's a lot of branching paths and alternate routes the player can take. The best example of this is Disco Elysium a game with an incredible amount of replayability and a main story that is about 30 hours, and is heavily impacted by your choices and what side content you do and don't do. In cyberpunk's case the story is linear with no variation aside from a bare bones pick your ending path, at the very end of the game regardless of everything you've done up until that point. Made all the more depressing by the fact that what story is there is fucking amazing, I love the story of cyberpunk, the characters, and everything to bits. But that doesn't change the fact the story is completely linear and is no where near worthy of calling itself an RPG. Which is then doubly depressing because this is the real problem with the game and it will never, ever get addressed even a little. That would require bringing most if not all of the voice cast in again and recording a whole shit ton more lines and dialogue. Which we all know will never happen.
Cyberpunk was a fun game, because of course it was, its a massive sandbox with amazing atmosphere and truly inspired art and sound design. But sadly that doesn't change the fact its just as linear as GTA5 with half the features and incomparably worst driving. Call me when the cops aren't teleporting to my location because the driving is so bad CD can't code AI capable of handling it.
still think you guys had a bad take with your early cyberpunk views. like it all you want, to each their own i wont hate on someone for it, but it was still an unfinished mess on high end PCs and not only previous gens (obviously to different degrees). there were numerous bugs that made the game literally unplayable, a word i dont take lightly (hard crashes, bugs that stop progression, bugs that get you killed, etc.), as well as major balancing issues, misleading marketing (most notably for me was the push that choices made big rippling changes in the story), the cut features that were advertised (you can downplay this all you want, but its a legitimate complaint) and more.
I watched both of you guys stream this game and I saw both of you run into some pretty hefty bugs, so i dont know why you guys are downplaying that. Especially when ive seen Lawrence specifically roast other games for having equally rough starts, if not slightly better (see Anthem, assassins creed unity, no mans sky, wwe, etc).
usually i dont really care, but it kinda annoys me that you guys would belittle people who have some legitimate complaints about a premium full priced game, which at the very least should work without major issues.
with all that being said, I really do hope that the game continues to improve and i hope one day it has its no mans sky moment.
anyway, call me an angry gamer all you want, but when i spend +$60 dollars on a game, I think its fair to expect the game that was marketed toward me and for it not to have major technical issues.
idk, still love ya guys and glad you had fun with it.
P.S. sorry if this is hard to follow. I have no excuse, English is my first language, im just a shit writer and terrible at expressing my thoughts into words lol.
Edit: to clarify, aside from all the bugs and crashes, the game ran ok for me on PC getting around 70ish fps on average not including frame dips.
played it on stadia, worked fine, was an okay game 🤷
I was lucky enough to have just made the leap to pc when it came out so a got pretty decent experience from the game glad to see it wasn’t just abandoned and I look forward to revisiting it
Well I picked it up on Xbox for $10 a few weeks ago. Haven't tried it yet but I think I will just wait till the free update hits the Series X and try it then. Sound investment.
No. It was, and still is, a huge disappointment.
I have XboxSX, The game is Not fixed, it is not up to standard on the Now Gen Consoles XboxSX and PS5, and it will not be better until they finally get around to releasing there Next Gen patch in 2022 over a year after this game was released .
Well of course CDPR is going to say there Cyberpunk game is at a so called reasonable standard, if your easily satisfied with broken buggy games that cost £60.
Well of course there in no rush to release the Now Gen patch, you know the PS5 and XboxSX which is out now and has been for nearly a year. They already took our money.
It's not the quality of the game, it's the crappy way CDPR handled themselves.
Screw those guys.
It wasn’t ready to launch on pc either(not that you couldn’t enjoy it but it still needed those patches) but that’s also the industry standard now so…
Boys ……. Give us a break. We ain’t playing until the PS5 version is released. HEAVY pass.
I loved a lot about Cyberpunk and had a lot of fun playing it, the open world is what really made me hugely disappointed in the game, and that the story was ridiculously short, tho I don’t think it was a bad game (was on pc so didn’t have too many bad bugs). I think the idea of this awesome city with all this lore behind it and activities to do in it was a big part of why I specifically was excited, and I’m not one of those “all of the marketing was lies we should’ve had trains” people but they definitely did some tricky shit with the open world marketing. Showing things that were specific to a couple mission cutscenes you can’t actually do in game while the narrator is saying it’s fun stuff you can spend your money on while off missions. Even the nightclubs there’s just nothing you can do besides missions, I don’t get why they even made it an open world. They got the same narrator and did the same style trailer as the rdr2 trailer from the previous year that was showing how immersive their world was, so they def knew what they were doing lol. However I fully admit that this open world problem isn’t a problem everyone will have and at the end of the day I did have fun with the game and the stories and put a ton of hours into it, I just really hope they do some open world updates. Especially after talking so much about how “so much of the world is verticality we can’t compare map size” but then there’s barely any buildings to enter and they have like 2 accessible floors lol.
Xbox One. It was a very fun experience
I have a Series S and a PS4 Pro. Which one is the best to play this game on? Im assuming Xbox.
I really enjoyed it. Too much probably, since my first and only playthrough was over 300 hours.
Usually with a game like this, with multiple endings and a very clearly communicated point of no return… I play to that PoNR and then start a new character making different decisions. After doing that a few times, I go play all the endings as each character.
This time though, I spent so long doing each and every little thing and really getting immersed in the world… that a second character just felt sort of hollow. Like this new character wasn't experiencing "the real story", if that makes sense.
Anyway, I went ahead and beat it with my main character and figured I'd wait for some DLC to start over again and hopefully by then, along with some bug fixes and such… it might feel new again. But with the delays… I have found myself itching to play again. 🙂
Played on PC
i7 11700K
64GB RAM
MSI Gaming Trio X 3090
PCIe4 M.2
This is great to hear, but at this point, my hype is low enough that it won't cost me any emotional pain to wait until all the paid DLC have been released to start playing.
Kicinski!!!
I'll wait till the game drops to $9 before I re-purchase Cyberpunk lol
Loved the game about to start second playthrough.
The game looks like it would be a lot of fun, but it was certainly not made in a way that the PS4 can run it properly even though the majority of the development time was during the PS4 generation. I'll have to wait until I get a PS5 or just bite the bullet and buy it on PC if I want to play.
Buyed the PS4 versio for 20€ and played with PS5 at start of the year. I really liked it and it worked ok for me. It did crash few times and i had to play one mission three times because of bugs.
It reminds me old Fallout New Vegas lauch, that was a fun game with lots of bugs. Still played it for many hours.
Love the game on Stadia…20 dollars with discount.
i mean RELATIVE to battlefield and cod new releases, cyberpunk launch was like any game from 20ish years ago coming out. you know, not filled to the brim with glitches.
My main gripe is that far-cry like fps type games arent my thing and all the promotional material was selling this game as an rpg (skill points does not mean rpg) type of game, I was hoping it would be a more open and immersive Deus Ex rather than a Far-Cry. was excited for the branching story lines and cut content that was either shown in the first gameplay video or the cut content found in the game. Im glad theyre fixing the games bugs but its still just a cut product put together in a mad scramble from the orders of investors and executives.
Imagine a world where cyberpunk still hasnt released yet and could be the true rpg they had envisioned originally
I hope CP77 finds it's 2nd life. Having played (and modded for it) on PC, my experience was as good as one could have desired. So when I heard the vitriol, I was surprised, but understood that most console users simply didn't play the same game. Here's hoping CDPR learns from it, and creates some good content for the IP in future.
I just prefer companies to delay games to ensure everything is up to snuff. I'd rather wait longer for that because you only get one first impression.
Idk. The fact it has had pretty much nothing but bug fix patches. There was some game breaking bugs as well. You can have fun with a generally bad game. I had a great time with no man’s sky on launch. I enjoy battlefield 2042 and that game is jank.
I played it on a mid tier PC and enjoyed it A LOT, I experienced infuriating quest breaking bugs, stupid hilarious bugs and some random ones that were forgettable, and that by itself is quite the experience! There's a lot of good stuff in that game, people should definitely give it a go, especially for that price
I enjoyed it on PC at launch. It definitely wasn't the trash fire that the console launch had.
It was definitely held together with ducktape in places and the random stuff around the world was boring but the main and side quests were fun and interesting enough that I played through a second time as a different spec and picked some different options.
This is congratulatory to the point of parody, might as well be an advertisement
Well worth 10-30 bucks. Needs major improvements in the AI though
Cyberpunk will be fixed in 2077
OMG, EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— i got it from 💜 bestcards.online 💜 "1:17" jIL
Paid my 60 for it, no regrets, still have the radio tunes on my playlist for work.
Honestly they should release mod tools and let the community fix it
The bravest boys that ever did news
idk why this is news worthy,everyone was saying buy it at a deep discount and this is the deep discount 😂
A bit of an odd question, but what is the mouse Lawrence is using during gameplay?
I'm glad its having its day I never had any real issues from the start like yourselves I played on a high end PC I've just started it again recently and the ending from my first play through is still stuck in my head now really liked the story and genuinely enjoyed the first character build and the way I chose to play it it is a massively choice rich game think because of that it will be played over and over for a long time.
