The PC Parts industry basically stopped making new hardware for games so we should pretty much give up on the notion of things improving substantially past this point.
I assumed we wouldn’t be getting a sequel. I hope they are able to get one out there eventually. 2077 is has the coolest aesthetics I’ve ever seen in a game.
Yeah I don’t believe a single thing CDPR says anymore. I’m still waiting for them to release the patch that makes your decisions in Cyberpunk actually matter. Fool me once.
they didn’t really boast it as the title would imply. it’s a job posting so my take is that it’s more aspirational or setting a target.
patch that makes your decisions in Cyberpunk actually matter
I would like more consequences like the pickup mission where you have to think of actual factions but the game offers a lot of choice.
Most choice is gameplay and build related where you have multiple methods of completing an objective and many times you can go out of order. This is in stark contrast to gta which has better sandboxes but much less gameplay choice is missions.
Even still there are things like taking out Jotaro in the one gig affects the dialog with Woodman later, playing as corpo allows you to skip the infiltration for the arasaka float, judy or maiko for clouds, and the endings are all as powerful as they are varied. I would still say your choices matter as even your chosen sex affects romance options. Phantom liberty expansion elevate the gigs and choices a bit more. For example the sphere hunter gig where you infiltrate the ncpd headquarters adds a check at the end if you went lethal or not. If the main boss can’t detect their biomonitors then you can’t leave without a fight (though i also encountered a bug here).
For the sequel i definitely want more reacting NPCs more dynamic open world behavior vs map icon hunting, and more consequences that are also faction-based like maelstrom vs militech
Lol, go on, yell me how decisions in the game do not matter. Before you start, be aware I have complete like seven or more full playthroughs just to explore all the things I could do, were it all real (so, excluding things like killing everyone or being a complete shit just for giggles)
But what I do want from them is an actual damn city. Walking through a megapolis chromed to the teeth and not being able to break into random house or apartment is damn frustrating
Seriously, why so much hate for this game. The game at the moment is pretty good.
It looks gorgeous, has an awesome story and a fun and versatile combat system. I am not too much into first person shooting games, but I am playing it right now and I am hooked. I think this game is easily in my top 5 if not 3 games of all time.
I actually enjoyed the game too, I was just taking the piss because it was infamously underpolished at launch and the crowd system was part of it.
The development time really shows with the map; the city is phenomenal and super detailed. I don’t know if they had to rewrite the engine 7 times or what, because everything else was laughably buggy at launch. I played right when it launched but still had fun. I’m sure it’s way better now - i still need to finish the DLC
With PC reviews pretty much lying about the game’s performance and CDPR not allowing console reviews prior to launch, i was misled into buying it on PC day 1.
IGN gave it a 9/10 and most other big reviewers werent far off.
It was pretty much a coordinated false advertisement until CDPR could get their hype money…
I mean yeah they fixed it but it did take 4 years and i did already get burnt out on an inferior version of the game.
I learned my lesson then that i can only trust community reviews and that any media outlet always has an agenda.
My main issue with the main review and phantom liberty was restricting footage to b-roll footage made by CDPR.
I played on release day with a 2080 super and thought the performance was okay for ray tracing. it ran well without it. my only issue was the draw distance and the minimap was terrible
Yeah all of the marketing surrounding the game really felt disingenuous.
This sucks because i do believe that CDPR has some great talent creating unique games.
Give it a go again. I am playing it for the first time right now and this game is absolutely amazing. I heard they changed quite a lot of things in patch 2.0 and we are already at 2.21. Plus how many games are receiving support so long after release. Yes, their release was a dumpster fire, but they managed to fix most of their bugs and now the game is in really good shape.
I do believe one day i will play it and love it, really just trying to wait long enough to forget all about the 50 hours i put in after their shitty launch.
Always wait until release. I love CDPR games, but I’ll always wait until release. Especially with digital being the default moving forward, the days of scarcity are over.

It’ll move in the direction of local rendering, with cloud “AI” powered elements
So worse actually
Where have a I heard this before? It sounds really familiar
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
Did they hire Peter Molyneux?
“Chicken chaser! You chase chickens!”

Yeah, I could have sworn they said they were done with cyberpunk after they burned a lot of their credibility on it.
Uhh huh.
Yeeeeaaup
Yeah yeah
Fool me once
This is exactly what they said about the OG game and they even spoofed a gameplay trailer to lie about it.
Coming from the team behind the least realistic/reactive crowd system in any game to date

Ok
There are a bunch of quests when your decisions really matter.

Yeah i’ll believe that claim when i see it.
Sorry but the 2077 release had it’s consequences.
I’ll believe it when I see it this time.
Here we go again…
Cool, now it’s just 8 years of waiting for release and then just 4 more until they make it playable
Which validates the point that buying a game on pre-sale or Day 1 is a terrible idea.
With PC reviews pretty much lying about the game’s performance and CDPR not allowing console reviews prior to launch, i was misled into buying it on PC day 1. IGN gave it a 9/10 and most other big reviewers werent far off.

Day 1 kcd2 has been pretty good.
Only 1 bug so far forced me to save/exit. But no crash to desktop or anything game breaking so far (knock on wood)
Look, cyberpunk ended up (after some years) being a good game, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever trust them again
I will wait to buy it a few years after release. Not getting burned this time around.
Always wait until release. I love CDPR games, but I’ll always wait until release. Especially with digital being the default moving forward, the days of scarcity are over.
