Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

[An Avenging Bird]

It really seems to me that a fair amount of these reviewers decided long ago that they weren't going to like Cyberpunk because of their crunch moralfagging, CDPR's tweets about trans people, or other such social junk which has nothing to do with the title.
One even was going on about how poor it runs with framerate hiccups.
Yeah dumbfuck, there's not updated drivers released yet.

I'm apprehensive because of who the company has supposedly hired, but am holding off judgment until I see for myself because these petty bastards in journalism have shown more than once that their reviews are more about settling scores than submitting an accurate review score.

They don't care about crunch, if they did they wouldn't have completely sucked TLOU2 off the way they did.

It's 100% the tranny/social justice shit. Maybe the bugs played into it a little but actual gameplay isn't important to these people.

Whose fault is that? Don't send out review copies if your game isn't ready to be reviewed. If day-one updates and game-ready driver packages are a requirement for a game to run properly, then those should be available at review time.

I feel like this entire thread can get broken down and boiled into this part of a review I saw.

oh shit is this the new gamergate 4.0?

and being an old game you can save anywhere and thus just brute force your way through any real difficulty.

Can't do that in Stalker SoC. One of its best features. If you reload a save the enemies change locations and tactics. Sometimes enemies that were in-view when you saved vanish upon reload.

so I went to go cancel my pre-order on GoG and It's just been radio silence from them. Over 2 weeks ago and I've requested it twice now and all I receive is a notice that they are "experiencing a higher than normal volume of requests right now". Either god just hates me or they are doing their best to keep the ship appearing steady. Looks like I'm getting this game whether I want it or not

Based on the reviews that are coming out and even the sperging in this thread in the last few pages(Where 15 year old games are more interesting and worthwhile to talk about).I think the game is probably in the worst place it could be atleast reception based wise

It's thoroughly average, Meaning it's doomed to be forgotten in 3/4 months while the usual NPC's move like a plague over to the latest triple AAA dreck that's being shat out

The curse of mediocrity claims another AAA game. But the blame lies squarely on CDPR based on what we know so far

Sounds like a classic tactic that companies use to deny you your refund. Usually threatening to get some kind of legal aid involved will make them fork it over.

Using dead people to hype games is so weird. Weirder still is it keeps happening.

I get games can be art, people can be attached to them, etc, but I can't imagine someone past their teenage years being so hyped as to have anything so far removed from them define their death. One thing to be excited, another for this level of hype...

It really makes me feel like a nigger to have to threaten someone to get my 60$ pre-order back,

Can and did. It doesn't matter if they change their locations and tactics. If there is a room of six guys giving me trouble and I can save after I kill three of them then its just a room of three guys giving me trouble. Might be my fault if I did that, but a room full of six guys doesn't take twenty tries to get through and you have as many tries as you want.

I didn't really catch anything praisworthy about the AI either. Sure they use cover and stuff but there wasn't any hyper advanced tactics and you'd just kind of shoot them. I'm not sure how they would have "changed tactics" given they didn't really seem to have any tactics n the first place.

I would say do a charge back if you paid via CC, but these assholes will usually wipe your whole account if you do. Valve is particularly infamous for it.

Gamergate 4.o: The non-dev trannys were actully right about a game being shit for once. Internet historians baffled.

How bad is the voice work

IGN's review says that mainlining the story missions, they finished in 20 hours.
What the fuck.
Remember CDPR said they were "streamlining" because supposedly feedback got back to them that Witcher 3 was too long (I didn't believe that either).
So now we're in no man's land - not a shooter because it's an RPG, but an in-depth quality RPG can't have just 20 hours of main story.
I'd love to know what the 175 hour guy did the whole time.

I'd like to imagine this was one person's job and they spent half the development time just modeling 3D cocks

 

[Star Stuff]

This is gonna be my first CDPR game and first impressions aren't good. I won't be surprised if I start up 2077 and realize an hour later that I swapped to Rimworld. That was the fate of every AAA title I played in recent memory.

I hope that doesn't happen, but yknow-
