Cyberpunk 2077

#122

Doh! Spent All afternoon downloading 1.03 update then, an hour ago had to restart it all with 1.04 patch update! Feel like a doorknob right now!
You can’t play the game because it won’t let you until updates are install. Not to mention there is another PS Update that I need to install.

Ill have to wait 8 hours in total just to play this game! The first DVD took an hour to install too.
I can’t remember the last time I had to download 45 GB for a lousy update. I think it was Spiderman or someting!

A pop in & ps4 smudge patch just went live so maybe that’ll save you

#124

It’s certainly helped a bit. But still got a way to go before it’s looking as good as it could be. Basically until I can no longer see the pixels lmfao.

Ok scrapped content discussion.

Day 237: Streamlined as hell I also hate that most of the perks are just 10% more damage, 10% more armor. Prey had more gameplay altering perks and cybernetics :|

The NCPD stuff was clearly there at first and then scrapped. Non-lethal playthrough irrelevant lol? No karma/faction affinity. The faction stuff is just vehicle flair. Parkour cut okay. Subways cut alright. Ditched the food stands fine. Most of the flying cars had to go sure I guess. Taxi’s gone, can’t even have those but heres your car whistle button. Then they scrapped roles (netrunner, engineer etc to just give us generic damage buffs instead) Lifepaths irrelevant.

Dialogue choices are yellow options that advances the scene or recycleable questions that do nothing. Very rarely do you even get yes/no options.
a.ok lets do it
b. Fuck you but lets do it anyway because the quest goes in my log regardless
c. recycleable dialogue flair that just exists but doesnt impact anything, either a question or some variation of the above yellow texts. This includes skillchecks and lifepaths, yes im salty even fallout does better

Why advertise this stuff if you can’t deliver?

They got the atmosphere and the heists down well. Makes the linear story with its ME3 paths here engaging but its no RPG. Extremely streamlined, everyone is funneled into the same streetkid narrative. But woo atleast the genitalia character creator made it in?? But I can’t make an adam smasher because cyberware is just 20% stat adjustments sans gorilla arms/mantis blades.

Are they adding all these marketed features with the multiplayer or is it doomed?
DID THEY SPEND ALL THE MONEY ON KEANU AND FALSE ADVERTISING Just make the dlc a remastered Deus Ex at this point, they bit off way more than they could chew.

Tl;dr no man’s sky marketed features except nothing made it in. Hot take but they should’ve scrapped the open world and kept half the original features once they realized they were out of their element. You’re funneled towards objectives via phone call anyways and the NCPD work isnt a real role

Lovely illfonic AI that spawn behind you btw because police can’t drive cars. Its the little things adding up that make you realize you take Rockstar for granted.

Moments like that are what make GTA5 one of the best open world games ever 🤣 If only we had AI like that in the jungle…

So what I’m hearing from you Finesse, is that Cyberpunk isn’t the game they advertised it to be?? I haven’t been following it closely like most.

#128

Nope i’m not sure what they did for 8 years actually if the cops can’t even pursue you in a car. The original planned features were cut, it’s not really an RPG minus there being different endings. Dialogue choices are just bonus exposition. It looks nice and the environmental designers did a good job and the gameplay loop works but the linear storymode is pretty much the whole game. You only have a few choices to make throughout the game that mostly just change the context of the mission not the outcome. People are going to get salty ME3 style once they attempt a 2nd playthrough with a different lifepath and realize its the same game. I can go play Fallout New Vegas and have more player agency and explore a more meaningful open world.

They just shouldn’t have made an open world game or they should’ve cut all the driving (assassins creed where you just walk everywhere), there isnt even any kind of ejection physics for motorcycles lol. Trying to make a GTA open world when they were way out of their area of expertise was a huge failing.

Wonder what the first dlc will be. I can imagine getting one for each ‘class’ that provides a different quick start for the open world game section and a based kit or unique gear ie. Netrunner, Solo, Techie, Ninja etc.

As they work toward multiplayer, which I think they will do, the actual base game will get improved.

I hope they add a barbershop/way to change your character. You can modify your limbs, immune system, skeleton, etc, but not your hair? Maybe polish the police a bit, add a cosmetic slot for clothes, let us sit down at a bar and order a drink, stuff that makes it more immersive

I was hoping for a barber too.

I’m also hoping they add way more cosmetic cybernetics arms/legs (that have a couple of mod slots) but are just for show. NPC’s can be full on chrome and I might want to do that to at some point. There’s actually to much for me to list, I hope the content train runs for a long time.

Lol did I miss something or did all the cut features get repurposed into a live service scam? A patch isn’t going to put this game on a functional open-world shooter engine unfortunately.

Stepped away from the main questline the illusion of a game broke. There IS NO CAR AI and the open world isnt even GTA 3 level, half the game is missing? What the hell is this game engine? Why not just use a FUNCTIONAL OPEN WORLD ENGINE INSTEAD OF MAKING YOUR OWN VODKA-COOLED EUROJANK. I should have never doubted @James-Cameron but illfonic games have higher standards. Its someone trying to recreate the open world of gta with illfonic AI & combo it with 1/4th of the choices in any indie RPG, as nightmarish as that sounds.

Atleast there’s still some sidequests so I can play around with the detective braindances for 3 min (that you can buy but not do anything with because its cut feature #9799 right next to car customization) but lol cant really defend this and then shit on illfonic. Atleast they didnt bite off more than they can chew and would rather keep tight lipped about the game than talk up features they can’t deliver, go through multiple delays, and then drop the buggiest release ive ever seen. Pred stamina bug will never compare to the amount of models phasing through the ground, aggressively clipping then launching themselves into space so they don’t fall out the map & cops randomly loading in ontop of you as you drive away from them basically invincible once you drive or sprint 20 meters away because cops can’t pursue, please explain the point of this even being open world and this cursed game engine?

EIGHT YEARS. And even at E3 they were flaunting different mission outcomes and saving companions etc. 1 mission made it in where you could still side with maelstrom but its irrelevant to anything anyways and the rest was scrapped.

Should’ve just marketed it as a linear streetkid game, cut the open world, and kept original features since they couldn’t even manage the 2 other campaigns even after cutting classes/careers from the game.

Atleast there’s the endgame of trying to break the game via bugs. They should just keep the hilarious bugs in, its more to do than what the game has now.

I still haven’t received my copy yet, but is it really so linear? Or is there some level of hyperbole here? Are the life choices really the same game by the end? If so, I’ll be pretty disappointed…

#136

EIGHT YEARS. I wanted to defend this game and then I couldn’t.

They’re the same by the end of the 20 min prologue actually. Rest is flavour text.

#137

So it’s not where but how long?
Lol.
Nah but it’s pretty crazy how hyped up it was to end up like this.

Sounds like anthem xD.

#138

Lowkey never followed much on the Cyberpunk Train, so I got a simple question. Did it deliver?

#139

Jesus. Between that and the police AI, my interest has really dropped - which was never that high to begin with.

#140

Atleast everyone knew anthem was just bioware trying to ripoff destiny when they don’t even make loot shooters.

It delivered GTA 3 and Fallout 4’s dumpster baby on the buggiest engine i’ve ever seen. The atmosphere is nice though so you can stand around in photo mode until they release $20 cut mission pack DLCs. Treat it like a walking sim just dont draw your weapon near anyone or they’ll all do the cowering headbang summoning ritual and teleport the police in next to you.

#141

I’m actually playing Anthem at the moment 😄
