Hi anyone, I have been reading about the Reddit saga today and I am wondering how is the game changed compared to when it is released? I remember a lot of complains about the game is broke and lots of bugs back then, and I didn’t get the game back then.
It was very much playable and enjoyable on PC at release, the whole whining was mostly from console players and gullible folks from PC camp.
If you are on PC, just play it. You might want to wait for the Phantom Liberty to come out (September, IIRC); they are changing some core game mechanics there. I’m definitely going to play it then.
Currently I’m on my 3rd playthrough, on my 2nd one (last summer) it was a somewhat buggy patch, current state of the game feels amazing.
Indeed, I played at launch and personally experienced few bugs (mostly ghost cigs and johnnny T posing). I believe for pc folks it was mostly complaints content that cut from the game.
Either way it’s a good state currently and decent amount of mods being made as well. PL comes out this September 26th
I haven’t finished elden ring yet so I reckon I will have a few weeks before end of story, and I’ll be getting that dlc as well after all the positive comments here!
Will the core mechanics be changed across the entire game when the dlc drops? Or only when playing within the new content
I’ve read somewhere that some mechanics will be changed for the whole game.
That said I avoid hype train and don’t look for information, I’d rather experience it myself. And I’ll preorder it, on GOG (so developers get more money).
Where did this fake narrative come from that only last gen consoles had problems? No AAA should have multiple obvious bugs 10min into the game (t pose, npcs walking through walls, entering the car from the wrong side, hovering cars and probably more) including a gamebreaking one.
I immediately refunded it when I got hardlocked on the hacking tutorial.
Also how is the police AI still worse than GTA San Andreas a 19 year old game? And please fuck off with that 2.0 patch excuse, it’s too late. But tbh I’ll pirate that version and play it anyway.
I played it on release, it was awesome. I didn’t ride the hype train, and this game was far more than i expected.
I played it on laptop with Nvidia 2070 eGPU.
I preordered it a year or so before the release because I enjoyed other games by CDPR, and never regretted it.
I think i saw T-pose once. That didn’t prevent me to enjoy this game thoroughly, to be lost in Night City and to weep for Jackie and to be lost in thoughts after Sinnerman quest line.
I never said some patch fixed it is going to fix the game, it is very good since release. DLC patch is going to change things, and I’m going to finish my 3rd playthrough this month and experience these changes in 4th playthrough.
I do not tend to kill civilians in Cyberpunk, maybe that’s one reason I didn’t notice police AI problems. It’s not GTA. Maybe that’s just my play style that helped me to avoid all the problems you encountered.
Even if that’s the reason, dude, I can’t stress enough how much I do not care for your opinion. This wall of text is for players that can enjoy good game, so they know Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most enjoyable PC games one could play.
Yep seems like you don’t care at all. I’ll go cry by myself.
Yup. The whining was hilarious because the same people would be praising whatever buggy release Bethesda would make.
Game was awesome back then and is now even better.
The whining made me kinda angry and made me realize average reddit gamer is a pathetic excuse for human being. Devs, writers, designers and all the rest had done exceptional job, marketing people fucked them and then this class action suit appeared.
Since then I don’t care for what circlejerking gamers on the internet say. It’s their parents’ problem, not mine.
They did not do an exceptional job on the PS4 version I played, however you slice it. I didn’t whine much publically but I did get a refund. It is way better on a decent PC now but at launch on PS4 it was unplayable.
Yup, this is next-gen game they tried to fit into obsolete hardware due to marketing stuff. I do not understand why one would buy it for weak hardware and then whine, guess advertisement was too good.
Well come on, that is truly CDPR’s fault to release it to last gen consoles, can’t expect consumers to verify that it really runs.
I bought it for the device I had, one which it was developed for. I don’t think it’s too much to expect the game to work.
It has changed a lot.
Keep in mind the issues were often ovestated (too much sodium). Game had issues on console true, but for PC it wasn’t that bad.
The game has been quite good for some time now.
Sadly I don’t have a PC the only gaming console I’ve is a ps5 but I think it will still work smoothly since they have done a lot of upgrades?
Just recently got it for Xbox Series X and I’m gob smacked how good this game is. It might just dethrone Skyrim for me as a go to game. I just wish I didn’t suck at combat as bad as I do, but that’s not their fault.
Ooooh, dethrone Skyrim? I dunno about that. I love Night City and I can’t get enough of this world, but this is a very finite game. It’s not all that moddable so it lacks the same scale of replayability as Skyrim. Of course, it’s also a decade newer so it’s got that going for it.
I think Cyberpunk is in a state where, if it was released today, people would have praised it like the next Witcher 3. Clearly not all things to all people, but the remaining bugs are tolerable and the world is both beautiful and fascinating.
For me, Skyrim is actually a very finite game because my dumb ass can’t get past about the 30% through the main quest before I realize I’ve morphed into a sneaky archer and I start over…lol.
I have accepted my inner sneaky archer. It’s just easier that way. I play pretty much the same thing in CP2077, too.
I remember just pinging the enemies, then using the silenced sniper rifle that can shoot through walls to just almost wipe out entire buildings before even entering :p
Wait a couple of months. once the DLC releases, the game will have it’s 2.0 update, which will add in and change a lot of features.
As it stands right now, The game is great. I love it, then again, I loved it even with all of it’s Day 1 flaws. I completed the game on the day 1 build. It’s come a long way since then, and the 2.0 update + DLC is the most hyped i’ve been about any game since Fallout 4 was announced.
I have a couple of buddies that play it a LOT and have been pleased with all the fixes and work that went in in the last year or so. Everything I hear is that it’s a go!
The game (at least on PC) is really good if you love CDPR style storytelling. There are also a lot of subtle story beats and easter eggs you can find if you look for them. People who wanted sandbox style play with lots of branches and variation were super disappointed, but if you would enjoy playing through a well crafted story I would suggest jumping in. Having played multiple build,s I would strongly suggest trying out sandevistan + katana, It is crazy and my favorite!
I’m always for story telling games than sandbox games as I love playing through story lines. It feels the developers give more time to craft the characters for me. This is definitely a plus for me
It somehow runs worse on my PC now than at launch. I used to get 30 fps on my 8 year old pc with a gtx980 on high settings at launch now im lucky if I get 20fps on medium with constant CTD
