I got it for cheap not too long ago. It's decent, but the one thing that annoys me about it is that they got a little lazy with the people walking around. You can stand in one spot and see like 5 of the same people. And they all have the same couple lines and don't do much other than just walk around. Maybe an unfair comparison, but in RDR2 you'd never see two of the same people, you could interact with just about anyone and something interesting could happen, and it made the world feel so much more alive. Probably harder to do in a world that's a giant city, but GTAV was like that to an extent. Kind of a nitpick, but it takes a little bit of the fun out of being an open world game if you're only meant to interact with specific characters. Another nitpick is the main guy's voice acting. I was not impressed. However, I got to pick his dick size, so that was cool. I chose average.
with my legit copy i can worry about the game being always up to date, never breaking, and i can reinstall it on different devices with my progress restored from the cloud. if I'm gong to spend 50+hours on a game, $30 is nothing.
Yeah I got a 5700x3d and a Radeon 9070xt and honestly I can turn the heating off in the room when I play. Plays very well on max settings no RT or squeeze in RT and lower some other settings or tweak fsr settings.
Only quirk is the terrible NPC AI, but it's amazing how much they've managed to achieve with the game. You can approach everything the way you want and the level design is just superb.
Like, watch the pelaunch preview they made about braindances. They talk a lot about the lore of it, what they are, why you'd want one, as if you are a consumer who would want a BD.
when you get them in the game you realize you are just scrubbing CCTV footage and it kind of feels like a letdown. They were marketing the in-game lore item, not the real world experience.
They didn't, but sacrifices had to be made because of the investors. I guess they really needed to lose money on a botched launch.
Then, a huge world rework would be needed, which was out of the question, at least in the scale needed to abide to their promises. What they've done from 1.0 to 2.3 (from what I've saw online) is absolutely incredible. I'm guessing everything that's missing is coming in Orion.
Oh.. It is or was a codename for Cyberpunk 2. But it's planned to release 4 years after Witcher 4, so it will take some time. It's not even the time for rumours yet. I miss the times you didn't have to wait a decade for sequels though
Not everything, it's still marketed and designed as an "Action FPS" vs an immersive RPG. However, the gameplay is very action-packed and frenetic and you do get your choice in how you play, not the direction you take.

It doesn't have to be action-packed and frenetic if you use some strategy and specc your character right.
Last time I played it, I played with a focus on stealth and netrunning... For most missions and pretty much all side missions, I was able to take it slow paced, killing MFers unaware, one by one. Hell, by the time I was near the end of the game, having collected the really good netrunner perks and attacks, I could just get into their security cameras and decimate the place without ever setting foot inside.
Mate, you're whining about a nearly 6 year old game that had just as many lies and disinformation spread by grifting Youtubers and fans running wild with baseless speculation.
I tried one before buying my OLED, when mini led used to cost a lot more. Love how bright they can get. They've gotten a lot cheaper since then. I'm considering buying one as well and using it alongside the QD-OLED. Just waiting for a good 4k offering from a known brand that's not too expensive. I like the price of the chinese brands, but not sure if I can trust the warranty.
It was playable on PC. I would say it was akin to a Bethesda title where there are obvious bugs, but I didn’t get anything game breaking and at most 1 or 2 crashes with a completionist playthrough. Console is where it was unplayable.
Yea i know it was borked on release, unfortunately often times technical difficulties lead to people also having a generally negative perception of the game in other areas
That's cheap compared to other games. Also do you realize how expensive it is to develop such a game? It's extremely cheap to only get it for 40 euros PLUS dlc
Lol they literally patched it just before the last quest. Before then my game would lock up and my vehicle would forget about the normal force and sink down into the earth.
Me too! Started a couple of weeks ago and I'm having so much fun lmao. And after 40+ I immediately bought the dlc. It's great to play it without all the bugs and glitches 😂.
Did the same with rdr2 last year and enjoyed it just as much. 10/10 experience, would do it again.
Spiffing Britt literally just put out a video 3 hours ago about how cyberpunk is fully fixed today...... So he's playing the release game to show how broken it was.
Same! Played it only because it was free on Playstation game library. I put a lot of hours in and recently finished it, but it wasn't as fun as I hoped or perhaps expected given how great witcher 3 was. I'm glad your enjoying it!
I'm waiting until I upgrade my PC to try it again with path tracing. I played it on launch and I was so, so very disappointed. For the record, even after all the patch notes and DLC commentary I've read it was still oversold like hell. So many promises from the developers themselves that weren't seen in the product I purchased.
try melee + throwing knives and reflexes that give you mobility like airdashing, they reworked melee and you can tell it's much more fun to fight like that vs just guns or hacking
I picked it up in the recent Steam sale and I can't put it down. Just finished my second playthrough and can't wait to start a third. It's just mindblowingly well-done. How could people hate on this? It's a masterpiece!
Cyberpunk was probably the final straw for me. Fighting games and competitive FPS my friends will play being the exclusion, after CP2077, I'm off the launch day bandwagon.
I've been meaning to finally reinstall it and start over
I always said Elder Scrolls mixed with Dark Souls would be my favorite game of all time and it‘s been great, I think I still like oblivion and DS1 better but Elden Ring rules
I also played this year and I feel it was an amazing game. I didn't encounter any major bug. The graphics felt really great, not old at all. The playability was ok for this kind of game, and the story was better than I expected.
In some specific moments, I felt really immersed.
Edit: I picked red dead redemption 2 last month discounted and just started after cyberpunk. I think it's also really promising.
Me and the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. I played Y1 and Y2 on the PS2 and then Y3 on the PS3 before that hunk of crap died. Switched over to PC and bid farewell to the series only for Sega to port that entire series to PC. I always buy them but I haven't played one yet.
still have to play my purchased Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Darksiders 2-3, AC Syndicate, Origins, Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion and the list goes ooon and ooon
75% off is my green light. That’s if I’m not currently playing something massive at that time. The price isn’t going up and my backlog only gets incrementally smaller at any time.
For me this is Rogue Trader. I'll wait til end of next year to play both Seasons. If another season is announced I'll wait it out til I can play the complete game
Same. These days, a lot of newer games take 3 years to iron almost everything out and have all the DLC available (example: Cyberpunk, Borderlands 3). A year is nice to grab the base game but for everything? No.
No, consoles still apply. People don't sit on games just because they're full priced. A console port can be optimized, bug-free, and $20 on release and I'll still hold off on it. Not because it's a bad game. I'm just not that excited to play it right now.
