Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

No one's going to stop buying Cyberpunk sourcebooks because of this game, TTRPGS are niche as is. There's absolutely enough people who liked the game's setting who want to play the tabletop that sales are going to increase for Mike. EA continually makes bank off their tie in properties despite years of fuckery, fuckery much worse than what CDPR did here.

As far as bugs and jank goes in breaking quest, I gotten a couple:
-Jumping down in the hotel with Jackie a second time because I found out I could loot Saburo's corpse, Jackie somehow ended up out of the playable bounds on the map and magically being able to slot the chip into his head. Reloading an earlier save fixed it but I don't know what caused unless it was down to luck.
-I diplomatically finished automatic love in getting Woodman to give me the info. After talking to Johnny and getting the visual glitch, I didn't get any notification to leave with my weapons. Reloading an earlier save of course before speaking with the lady at the entrance to the club helped me proceed through it all as normal.
I've gotten a couple bugs like that too, I mean more like you get to the end of a quest chain in Skyrim, it turns out you can't complete it for some reason and you have to go back hours, and then it turns out either your save is corrupt or the questline is just bugged and you can't complete it after replaying it. That's happened to me several times in their games and objectively unacceptable and somehow fuckers keep joking about it and buying Bethesda games, including me.
 
Idle question based on conversation from way, way back in the Resetera thread. Has anyone figured out a way to drop in custom car horn sound effects?

With a quest bugging out, I wanna bring up the Delamaine quest where you gotta find the rogue cars. Tried to get one near the cemetary but I never got a call. Then chose to do each quest in order as one guy suggested and lo and behold, I got the call after having just the North Oak cab and one other cab left. As for the sourcebooks, they pretty much are obscure to anyone that hasn't bothered with any tabletop games beyond DnD and Pathfinder. One would know this game more than it's original source and if one heard about Cyberpunk 2020, it'll liekyl be from surfing TV Tropes or 1D4Chan.
 
I downloaded CP2077 just a few days ago with no patches (as far as I know) and I played it with these specs:
New computer:
8 GB RAM
Intel Xeon E3-1230
NVidia Quadro K620
Windows 10
I'm surprised the game even ran at all, given the fact that the processor and graphics probably don't even meet the game's minimum requirements. That said, I can say that it ran rather sluggish, probably given the age of the processor and graphics that are in my computer, and not to mention me having the absolute minimum amount of ram required to play the game.
 
Are you fucking kidding me?


CD Projekt under fire again after Devotion removed from GOG.com

The creators of Cyberpunk 2077, and owners of GOG.com, have reversed plans to publish Taiwanese game Devotion, and their excuse is terrible. Cyberpunk 2077 publisher and developer CD Projekt really can’t catch a break this month and, as with the bug-ridden Cyberpunk, it’s hard to feel much sympathy for them after their latest PR disaster. Earlier in the day Taiwanese developer Red Candle Games announced that critically acclaimed survival horror Devotion would be added to GOG.com, after previously being removed from Steam when the game caused a diplomatic incident involving a meme comparing Chinese president Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh. Although Red Candle were ostensibly the ones that removed the game from Steam it was already being review-bombed by Chinese gamers and has never been available again in the West – so it’s appearance on GOG.com was warmly welcomed by horror fans.

The problem is that later in the day CD Projekt made an announcement of their own, stating that the game will not be released on GOG.com after all. The absurdly unconvincing excuse for this was that they made the decision, ‘after receiving many messages from gamers.’

Many on social media have taken this to mean that CD Projekt have come under pressure from Chinese gamers and wanted to make sure that GOG.com wasn’t banned in China, which is something they maybe should have thought of before initially giving Red Candle the go ahead. Forward thinking doesn’t seem to have been the company’s forte lately though, and this is the very last thing that CD Projekt needed after all the controversy over Cyberpunk 2077.

Fuck. Right. Off.

'Hey you know we just released a turd of game and everyone is hating on us? Lets also suck Chinese cock too, what could possibly go wrong?'

Fall From Grace Speedrun 2020
 
I completed it tonight. Took me roughly 55 hours. I did all the quests I could find except for the racing shit and the police stuff (as I wasn't sure how much of it was procedurally generated and how much of it was unique). Even its best stuff - the writing and larger quests - I don't think are nearly good enough to make up for the game's failings, and even the writing I feel is a noticeable step back from The Witcher series. A 6/10 is definitely where I'd fall with it.

I'll probably write up more of my thoughts later once I've ruminated on it more.
 
Ubisoft did it better.

I'm really enjoying not buying this game and watching the cope/shitshow occur. Two things I noticed. 1) IGN released its review 2 days ago for last gen consoles. Fucking 4. 2) CPDR says that people on consoles (read:PS4 and XB1) can request a refund... And Soyny is going "no you can't, no refunds".

Maybe I'll get this game for Christmas... In 2021.
 
Here is the question, what are the odds of this game getting a No Man's Sky styled revival, where it went from this overhyped unplayable piece of shit into something worth investing time into?
It's never going to get what some people want, like playing pool and banging random people at bars, so it's always going to be disappointing in that sense. It's decently likely to get AI fixes and QOL features, like menu adjustments and being able to get haircuts. It's certain to get bug fixing patches that make it playable, and it's a coin toss if that makes the game worth it to more people.

Unlikely. NMS was lacking, but not broken. With all the delays 2077 got in an attempt to simply polish, that's we got in return.
Lol no it was broken.
 
Sorry if someone already mentionned it but the Twitter outrage mob complained then the creator of Cyberpunk 2077 was a white supremacist and the creator is black, WTF?


Pondsmith is not only black he has a darker complexion than most of the black anti racists and culture warriors on Twitter.
