Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

[blablabla]

Can you fucking faggots talk about the new content instead of how much you enjoy giving rimjobs?

no

 

[Car Won't Crank]

Looking through the GOG reviews for Phantom Liberty, apparently the new update and the DLC now contain DRM? Has anyone talked about this yet? It's a steep departure from GOG's no DRM advertising.

 

[Mega Black]

Pick up on the culture of the thread man. Its literally called the "Cyberpunk 2077 GRIEVING thread". We've been shitting on this game pretty much since it launched. Read the room.

Oh man sorry I fucked up your hugbox. Not like the thread has basically been operating as a general since 1.5 and only recently had faggots crawling out of the woodwork to dredge up complaints that are so old they might as well be sitting next to fucking dinosaur bones.

the story, the lifeless open world, the lack of real decisions and branching paths

The story is a matter of subjective taste to a degree that I won't bother really digging into why I consider the majority of it good. The branching decisions are on par with the vast majority of AAA pseudo RPGs, many small decisions have many small reactions with the main story still being largely linear. To say it has zero roleplay potential is false, and the game has, what four endings? Five? People want to change the story completely but of course that wasn't going to happen.

Lifeless open world hasn't been a complaint that makes sense to me since launch either. What's the mark of a world that feels lived in? The environment is full of NPCs, random events, side gigs, random clashes between police and gangs, random crimes, gang hideouts, side quests, NPCs to talk to, advertisements, news broadcasts, hidden loot, cyber psychos, and now the world reacts to criminal activities in the form of police reactivity.

What? You can't go fucking bowling? Oh no, game is trash 0/10.

Now that's fucking gay.

I'm not gonna sit here and rage out on behalf of people who's experience I didn't have.

And no one is really asking you to.

Game worked fine for me.

How nice. You want a cookie?

Nigger OP was written two years before the game was even out, clearly the culture changed at some point.

Except it didn't change. You just walked in and started white knighting the game.

You don't need to completely delete the game and restart from scratch for it to be completely different now from when it launched.

The point, genius, is that it isn't completely different. Is it better? Yes. Is it a completely different game? No.

Oh man sorry I fucked up your hugbox. Not like the thread has basically been operating as a general since 1.5 and only recently had faggots crawling out of the woodwork to dredge up complaints that are so old they might as well be sitting next to fucking dinosaur bones.

The only thing that's changed is that you guys rolled up in here and started trying to turn this thread into a Cyberpunk cheerleading thread. As I said, you don't like this thread and where its going, find somewhere else. Create your own Cyberpunk thread with blackjack and hookers where you can sing its praises to your heart's content.

The only thing this tells me is what the other guy told me; you're just a mindless fan who thinks this game could do no wrong. You've already made up your mind about this game, and now you just want to come here and try to convince everybody else that this mediocre game is really this great misunderstood masterpiece. Your wasting your time.

I had an inkling this was gonna happen after their ESG trailer, they're going full on corporate to appease stock holders and stake holders.

Somehow I don't think it was the "Grieving Thread" two years before it released faggot.

Are you always so pedantic or is the amount to criticize actually so low that all you can do is grasp at meaningless straws?

Pot meet Kettle

Now that's fucking gay.

I haven't seen that posted anywhere and when I try to search for it I get no hits other than GoG Reps posting that Phantom Liberty would be DRM free.

Good to know that Phantom Liberty is so good and interesting no one in this thread is bothering to talk about it.

It dropped yesterday and the start point is 50 hours into a game that just had an update where you're very heavily encouraged to start a fresh playthrough. Of course all you're going to get is retards slapfighting.

Assumptions pulled straight out of your ass since I'm more than willing to admit the game has flaws, just that it isn't terrible any longer. Nuance? In my threads? Oh no!

Are you always so pedantic or is the amount to criticize actually so low that all you can do is grasp at meaningless straws?

No it's bad because... it just is, okay!?

Barely anybody has gotten to it yet. I was looking to see if anyone here had played it or what their thoughts were but apparently we are all stuck in the fucking past like the game just dropped on Xbox last week.

Maybe the real Phantom Liberty was being stuck in a timeloop and forced to go through launch week again.

Very early opinions:
Dogtown is pretty great to run around in. Lot of gunfights breaking out at random and a mercenary company that shoots first and asks questions later. I was dicking around with netrunning on a preexisting character, but all my shit costs too much because I was running Sandivestian and Katanas before. Going to finish up with Katanas and Sandi, really think Netrunning benefits from a new character because all the shit associated with it is really expensive if you haven't been gearing towards it the entire time.

 

[The Last Stand]

Who's excited for the 2.0 update? I gazed over the Build Planner that has the new perks and fucking finally:

Pretty much everyone is saying 2.0/Phantom Liberty is excellent. I expect a lot of reeeeeeee from people who made hating this game their entire personality.

I'm hearing great things about Cyberpunk 2077 now, especially with the Phantom Liberty update. Idris Elba was great in The Wire; I'm sure this will be no exception.

The game literally didn't work on base PS4 and Xbox One, for starters. It was a lot worse than just being a 7/10.

If/when I get an Xbox Series X, I want to try Cyberpunk 2077 WITH its expansion. It reminds me of a FPS GTA/RPG hybrid with branching choices through dialogue.

If it becomes good why does any of that shit matter? New Vegas and The Witcher 3 are excellent now but were borderline unplayable due to bugs and instability at launch.

Because CDPR was hush hush about their original console launches through review embargos. Game developers nowadays think they could get away with releasing unfinished, botched video games at full price. Well, at ALL. All that money for marketing and you get a shell of what was promised that wouldn't even RUN properly on your platform of choice. People have a right to be angry at stuff like that.

It's $60 dude. Are you all such gigantic poorfags that three years later you are spending hours of your life angrily seething that you didn't get your money's worth three years ago?

I drop more than that on Friday nights for drinks.

You should try to give actual examples of things when being positive.

Name some of the games that the branching decisions in Cyberpunk are on par with.

If the game has "many small decisions" that have "many small reactions" in the story, name some.

Name some of the roleplaying you've done.

I heard Fallout 3 has over 200 different endings. Do you agree with this?

What was your favorite random event, side gig, random crime, gang hideout, side quest, advertisement, news broadcast, hidden loot, and cyber psycho?

Would the game not be better if you could take Panam or Judy on a neo-bowling date?

A, I'm not angry. I said that I'm hearing great things about Cyberpunk 2077 NOW. B, okay, you're right. Let me spend $60 retail price on a video game that performs poorly on my console while I wait for the developers to deliver patches to make the game it should've been at launch.

If you buy a product, you should expect it to work as advertised. This is why developers get away with releasing broken games at launch.

 

[bango skank]

So for anyone who has played through the dlc, avoiding spoilers, how does it affect the main ending? They said it could have an impact on the ending, but does that mean another option to choose from for storming Arasaka Tower or is it something that gets tacked onto the existing endings?

As far as I've read, it adds a completely new ending.

No spoilers but the ending reeks of the writers seething that people didn't like the original endings.

 

[blablabla]

new ending is v removing the chip, falling into a coma and everyone angry-leaving him lmao cdpr is a fucking joke

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Holy Shit they pulled a Mass Effect 3 Reject Ending?

Please tell me it also blows up in CDPR's face by unintentionally being the best ending thematically.

and Panam kills herself
