Still one of my top games.
Mods are obligatory though.
I really hope the mods continue to flourish
I read that the company that was supposed to be doing QA testing really fucked them.
I get the game is fine now or whatever, but it’s too late for me. I moved on a long time ago and will probably never finish it
When the DLC dropped they apparently redid the whole progression system so it’s more in line with what fans wanted. It honestly might be worth another try.
This should have been free. No more money from me.
It is. Base game improvement atr just a (free) patch. They just happened to drop a paid dlc at the same time
So the improvement in liberty city like police etc are in a free patch?
If yes that’s good to know
The changes to the progression system, along with other system overhauls, are free. They’re part of the 2.0 update.
The DLC adds a new region and plot line and is paid.
I heard they added enemy scaling and people hate that?
It’s true. I don’t hate it per se, but on very hard the first (nomad) car chase was actually impossible and I had to turn down the difficulty to pass it. Now that I’m level 40, everything is way too easy again.
It was impossible on Hard too. 🙃
Your loss, it’s a great game
agreed, but some people have a hard time changing their mind even when presented with facts
I played 40 hours and did most of the main story up until the final act. I had just come off playing almost 200 hours of the witcher 3 and the experience, the emptiness of it, the disappointment devastated me. So yeah I’m sure they’ve made some updates, but I’ll always be left with that sadness of how long I waited and how horrible it was
I’ve been playing for over a hundred hours and still find new things. Don’t know what you’re talking about being empty.
Meanwhile I’ve never been able to get farther than 20 hours into Witcher 3 without being bored. Different strokes for different folks.
Didn’t they get death threats online too, that probably made things even worse
Man, gamers have no chill.
If you want to go after someone, go after the people in charge.
Seriously. If game companies were warehouses, the devs would be stockers, shippers and receivers. They do not get to make the big picture decisions.
Nah, it’s more like a factory where the devs build and operate the machines. They may be responsible for smaller issues, but they’re not the ones deciding that your EV truck sucks at hauling and towing things (i.e. being a truck), they just build to the specs given the time and material constraints they’re given. Blame the designers and other higher-ups.
While i completely agree that nobody should be a target of a hate speech, i kind of understand how frustrating cyberpunk 2077 was at release compared to what CDPR promised.
That’s just an example of what happens when you overhype people and extremely underdeliver. Spoiler: they hate you.
If they want to threaten someone then they should do it face-to-face, not hiding behind the internet.
In the current state of the internet, they probably started getting death threats shortly after the project was announced cuz the kerning on an in-game billboard was a little off.
Doesn’t take much now-a-days.

They 100% don’t. The management and the publisher on the other hand can die in a fire

- The game is eye candy and the story is decent
- It doesn’t feel like a AAA game
- The bugs are embarrassing, duplicate NPCs down to the outfits, walking through solid objects, terrible vehicle physics, mission breaking bugs.
- They are selling DLC.
Fuck CDPR.
What the hell is a AAA game to you? Cyberpunk is absolutely AAA.
By which you mean overpriced and underdeveloped, with barely any new concepts to show for it?
It was the same price as every other game, it was only really buggy on old consoles (which it should never have been released on), and they got patches out very quickly to sort out the bugs and issues on PC. And there were plenty of new concepts in the netrunning and biohacking areas of the game. Plus it has a massive story and tons of content.
You should try actually playing it.
It was the same price as every other game
Yeah, overpriced.
I’ve got over a hundred hours played on it, at $80 CAD that’s less than $1 per hour of entertainment. Not at all bad really.
You know Donkey Kong Country 2 was $80 US when it came out, and it could be beaten completely in under 10 hours. Games are cheap nowadays.
Games are cheap nowadays.
Yet the companies still make record profits meanwhile quality has gone down 🤔
Games have gotten vastly bigger and more complex, bugs are going to happen with that being the case. And quality has not gone down, old games had tons of bugs, and without patching available you were just stuck with them.
Go replay the Lion King on SNES, and tell me it’s as good as modern AAA games. Nostalgia goggles have blinded you.
Honestly, games need to sell DLC to make money. At least they allow mods for additional content.
IMHO compared to other RPG developers, CDPR is pretty good at what they do, and listening to their player base. I’m not suggesting they be celebrated for being “not total garbage”, but most AAA studios are exactly that. If I want a good RPG game and I’m supposed to vote with my wallet, I’m picking Cyberpunk over Starfield.
Yeah, it’s really ashame that most AAA companies opt in the quick and easy ways these days. Especially with CDPR, since most of us saw them grow with the witcher series. But I will die on the hill in agreeing with you that Cyberpunk did better in most aspects than Starfield upon release, other than the amount of bugs. In my opinion, Starfield has taken Bethesda’s outdated “RPG” formula and became something even more bland and hollow than their last game. It’s really sad and disappointing to see honestly
You got downvoted for saying the truth.
No #3 was the deal breaker. I refunded my copy on Steam and ignored the game ever since.
Sunken cost fallacy for some.
I bought it, I enjoyed it enough, part of that enjoyment was the bugs that enabled me to amass tons of cash.
I’m not going to tell myself they delivered the product as promised.
What they did was scummy, what they still do is scummy.
You all got downvoted for not playing since version 1.5, actually - the only complaint here that stuck is vehicle fuckery. “duplicate npcs” just tells me you are stopping to examine characters you literally can’t interact with and looking for excuses to bandwagon dunking on a game that was released 6 months early.
I wouldn’t call even the final product the same as what they marketed, but if you bought the game and just refused to ever look back that’s on you and your expectation management. It was better than acceptable (fun even) all the way from before Edgerunners, mod support was really well done and allowed for users to “fix” things in ways the game has vanilla now (vehicle combat was a mod with far more features than just vehicle combat and most of it is present in the game now, like enhanced NCPD ai).
The only extremely off thing now is AI driving. If you drive anywhere you’re bound to wind up with a multiple car pile-up due to just one aggravated AI driver. This is how I know the extended whining is uninformed - anyone complaining heavily about the game that has played recently will know about this, or complain specifically about some of the quests namedropping the expansion.
It’s like seeing chatGPT write a negative review, the information is entirely hearsay, and out of date to boot.
Sorry that by release 1.6 it’s too much for me to expect not to see duplicate NPCs inside the diner, one of them standing through the table.
AAA game, big money, big disappointment.
Worth it on sale to play through once.
If you need version 1.5 or 100.5 to get a better experience, you are either die hard fan or retards.

Fixing Cyperbunk was probably more important for team morale and keeping employees from exodusing then it was from a sales standpoint.
oh i bet
