Level with me is cyberpunk the daikatana of this generation sales numbers aside?

  • Constant delays for years
  • Massively overhyped with bombastic marketing basically promising the future of videogames is now
  • Upon release is a janky unpolished piece of shit whose promises were only technically fulfilled at best
  • Likely to ruin the reputation of everyone who worked on it for a long time

CDProjectRed is about to make you it's glitch.
 
People keep talking about the Cyberpunk fuck ups as the biggest thing in gaming, however the Ouya finally got it's servers pulled and now each machine cannot load any games now since it was all digital.

It's now effectively a brick and this story has gone under the radar. This is the same fate the stadia will suffer.
 
Its really a expectations vs reality thing. Every one thought Ouya was a gimmick at best, fucking stupid at worst. So for the saga to end with all their machines becoming bricks feels like the end to a story everyone already guessed the enfing too. Sort of like Bethesda and Fallout 76: every one know it was going to be a buggy piece of shit but it was just worst then expected.

But Cyperpunk? The expectations were so high (espically after the 2018 40 min preview), the developer track record as a cool outsider indie dev, to have it all turn into this mess? Yeah it's gonna break some guillable minds.

And now a second lawsuit has hit Projekt CD

 
Can someone help me with the map thing? I never played MGS, and I can't tell what you guys are talking about with the maps. They inverted the height of things?

Now that I've actually beaten the game, (the Aldecaldos ending is pretty kino, ngl), I have a few more observations to make.
  • The story is not bad. I'd say it's middle-of-the-road, somewhere between Bethesda and Obsidian quality. In some places, in some quests, it's downright brilliant. This is a story that deserves a more polished game, without a doubt.
  • You basically never encounter enemies who use Monowire, Gorilla Fists, or the Projectile Launch System. You only encounter a small number of Cyberpsychos who have Mantis Blades.
  • I barely encountered any enemy Netrunners. They almost never spawned.
  • Unless you've decided to dump Intelligence for some reason, there is no reason to use a Sandevistan or Berserk instead of a Cyberdeck. Quickhacks are so fucking powerful, you're basically crippled without them. Netrunning is OP as fuck. You can literally play stealth with only 4 Cool through the entire game, like I did, by using Reboot Optics on everyone you see, blinding them, and then snapping all of their necks.
  • Mission with Mantis Blades and Sandevistan or Berserk; you get spotted by a camera right away, you flail your big bladed arm-dicks at everyone, and your fixer chides you for being a fucknut.
  • Mission with a Cyberdeck; you hack the first camera you see, toggle cameras a few times, kill or incapacitate everyone those cameras can see with your fucking mind, and then waltz through a building full of corpses and floppers.
The V build that I did was like 15 Body, 12 Reflex, 20 Tech, 20 Intelligence, 4 Cool. Gorilla Fists, Tech Weapons, and Netrunning. Basically, you can beat up whoever the fuck you want. Who you can't beat up, you can shoot through walls with deadly charged tech weapon crits. If that's not good enough, you can kill them with your mind. Through walls. I thought it was a fairly fitting build for a Nomad start. Netrunner, Techie, and melee fighter in one. Very versatile. The stun batons are fantastic and can fuck up anything very quickly with this build. By the end, I had a baton with extremely high DPS and could very casually beat entire infantry squads into unconsciousness in seconds while softening them up with quickhacks as I approached. Going with blunt makes it much easier to keep Cyberpsychos alive for Regina.

I honestly regret spending any points in Cool. Besides a few perks here and there, its basically useless, especially in the mid to late game where your encounters aren't long enough for all the Cold Blood stacking shit to even be useful. I also regret listening to youtube commentators saying Tech is completely useless and should be ignored due to "meh drops" being more important. Motherfucker...Tech is essential if you want the best stuff via upgrades not to mention how insanely good Tech weapons are in general, . Game is fun so far. Insanely broken, but fun...tho I'm getting a bit bored cleaning up these last remaining missions before the "point of no return" (which they don't even warn you about). My main complaint is similar to the rest of the thread's critique, its an extremely hollow game. I think after a few expansions and mods this will be something really special, but until then its mixed. Game journos giving this a perfect score prove once again how completely full of shit they all are.
 
I'm resigned to never playing this game again after requesting a refund. Which is a sad thing because nobody was more excited for it than I was.

Oh well. At least it's entertaining with the lawsuits and certainly the devs will soon start the finger pointing.
 
Yeah I had no real interest in this game honestly so I can't say I was ever emotionally invested beyond that of a popcorn holding spectator
 
50 hours in on my demo copy.

So far had like 5 crashes that was not me being an autist with cheat engine. Later game gear and upgrade materials could propably use one less 0 in their prices.

Its not the end all of all gaming, and I doubt its replayability, but with 1.0.6 fixing the save corruption bug, it plays okey even on my shit ass old rig.

Its not super pretty, but it is decent enough if you consider I'm running it on a graphic card well below minimum requirements.

My first playthrough was a woman because of the driving. But bikes handle somewhat better.

I'll need to get him green pants and a red wife beater shirt.

Depends on how much you like the game i guess, but i'll definitely take another crack at it and do a full playthrough when the DLCs come out. I've come across this odd hacker build that sparked my interest. The gimmick was that you basically just jack into the cam system and kill everyone with quickhacks. I'm not aware of any game where you'd be able to do a build like that.
 
I'm in the third act right now and I'll give a more in depth review once I finish it. So far, I'm having fun and I actually love it. Glitches can at times be funny, but not so much when they ruin the gameplay or make finishing a quest impossible (which I usually solved by reloading the latest quick- or autosave). I would set the amount of bugs, from what I've seen so far, something between Klendathu and Bethesda, leaning more to the letter. Had they actually finished the game and ironed out all the glitches, I'd easily give it a 10/10. For now a 7/10 will have to do, depends on what I'll see once I finish it.

I'm not sure if I agree with the Daikatana comparison and I'd actually offer Oni as an alternative. A game set in a cyberpunk dystopia that appeals to weebs and is actually fun since the devs put a lot of effort into it, but were forced to release an unfinished mess due to internal corporate homosexual faggotry.
 
7/10 sounds about right. Its definately worth 30 dollars or so just not 60.

If it goes on sale I would say its not a big waste of money, it will keep you entertained for a month even if its just one full playthrough.

My pc is mid range with a low range graphics card and Win 7 yet it still runs well enough.

There is a lot of stuff that could be better, but modern day 3A games tend to be mediocre with the only 3A thing being cutting edge graphics. Dawn of War 3's only strenght was high polycount and lots of visual effects. Even the textures were less detailed on non hero units than the previous game.
This game delivers that too. Its an okey shooter-story game where you can go around on a bike and shoot some muggers.

If I believed or even read the hype and what they said it would do, I no doubt would be annoyed too, but I did not.

I didn't give too much attention to the hype and I went in with neutral expectations, which is my standard procedure to anything. No matter the hype or the negative reputation, I'm always willing to give anyone and anything a fair chance. I'm actually heartbroken about the mess Cyberpunk 2077 turned into since that game had all the potential for me to fall in love with as I did with NieR: Automata, Devil May Cry 5, SoulCailubur 6 and so on. If not for the bugs and it being unfinished I would have given it a 10/10. But it is what it is. If they actually fix and finish the game, then I think Cyberpunk 2077 deserves a second chance. Now if CD Project Red's reputation will recover from this remains to be seen.

I still think it's fun. It's the closest thing I ever got to an Oni sequel and it's the closest thing we got and possibly will ever get to a Ghost in the Shell game that is actually good.
 
The bugs and launch are hiding this games horrible content and even story it’s less story paths than fucking fallout 4.
 
I really do feel sorry for CDPR. This game is actually not half bad. I have a pretty high-end PC so outside of bugs and weird glitches I don't really have any performance issues. Story isn't bad either especially for being a first entry. The weapons and combat is mediocre at best though.
 
I have started to think about the issues that I have with the main story. As other have said, it is way too short. I think the majority of my time in night city, I did sidequest and most of them were not that fun. Was the same bs gig all over. The other issues that I have with the story, is that it ain't really V story. It is Silverhand story. V is never the real driving force. It is Johnny. I don't really mind it, but I would have liked to see V being more in the driving seat.
I still love this game, but I think that I will soon unistall it and wait a few months for patches, dlc and more and hope that all the issues that I ahve will be fixed.

I didn't mind this too much either, it's actually kind of a nice way to add flavour, have an old timer show you around the city so to speak. But it does feel like the game is missing a proper third act. It'd go a long way if after the Johnny situation is resolved and you're established as a competent merc, you had a chance to rise to the top on your own.

Judging from the path to glory ending, i'd wager CDPR thought about it as well.
