Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

I’ve read a few of the more critical reviews of 2077 and I’m getting some heavy old 3D Realms vibes. While being funded to make Duke Nukem Forever, George Broussard and the 3DR team were allowed to live this life of excess while being funded by multiple parties. The only difference is that the 3DR team spent the money on cool shit, like strippers and drugs, while CDPR paid mediocre actors and musicians to perform for their game, drove around in super cars to “record their sounds”, etc. I do believe that the CDPR team believes that they are rockstars, and after the success of the Witcher 3 being such a great fucking experience, they’ve got a a sycophantic fanbase who will consider to perpetuate it.

To delay your game for such a long time only for you to rely on a 0day patching effort is some Tribes 2 shit - game was unplayable out of the box and required a massive patch (back in the days of 56k modems).

I'm fairly sure the decision was made purely because it would tank performance on everyone's systems, not particularly because of gameplay reasons. The only way guerilla got away with how they simulated structures was that destruction was prerendered and not constructed of voxels, but large chunks.

IMO realistic collapses could be faked- maybe have a threshold of how many columns/percentage of wall is remaining, and then have the entire structure fall through a pre-meshed rubble heap with a few pieces allowed to fly around.

I know this is usually done much rougher for larger-scale battlefields. At least for me, it'd be more satisfying.

🚨🚨Uh oh, Tier 1 bad word alert!🚨🚨

Time for CDPR to apologize (grovelling please), and pay the toll by giving money to racial organizations and hiring more diversity writers and programmers!



TBH at this point I'm split. I sort of want the hypetrain to crash just for the aftermath, but at the same time, I don't want to hand the troons a win (and I also want a decent open-world cyberpunk game with some acceptable world-building to wander around).

I'm more on the actually play the game side of the fence.
Lotsa drama to actually properly gauge shit, luckily you can play the game for free in a couple of days.

Not a lot of hope for it, after the whole "ME:A people are the ones actually making it" claim, but whatever, I wasn't going to pay for it until I got good in the game and like it in the first place so no skin off my back.

The hidden perk of GoG shit is that cracked versions of the game has the same exact save game location as the real one, so no work in transferring your shit there. Pretty sure steam games have a similar thing too, but GoG is 100% a thing.

I'm more of a console gamer, and refuse to buy games on console right now. We're at the end of the generation, I'll just pirate and play it on PC and choose whether I like it or not.

Like The Long Dark. Buy The Long Dark everyone, it's a great game.

Yeah this is why I'm skeptical of the whole "ANDROMEDA DANGERHAIRS TOOK OVER CDPR" claim.

1. It's from 4chan. Why the hell are we taking anything from that place at face value.
2. CDPR fucking hates Reeera, if the Andromeda dangerhairs are an integral part of the team, they wouldn't be doing shit like this to spite trannies and the illustrious people at "we am gamer" resetera.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is easily my GOTY

I've always played Yakuza games for the fighting and shit, slowing down said fighting seems like a step down to me.

The actual game plot is much better though, but the minigames are kinda shit, and the taxi system is fucked (you have to actually ride the taxi for it to register as a fast travel point).

Also the skew to weapons in a fisting game is always a disappointing event when so little games give any proper fistings anymore.

My biggest problem though is
how are you going to make future yakuza games when yakuza don't exist anymore after the game?

Half-Life: Alyx was a decent game that was kneecapped by VR, like so many others.

The tech just isn't there yet and I have my doubts it will be any time soon. Waste of my fucking money.

I really enjoy vr... just wish there was more variety. I mostly play the rhythm games though.
The technology exists for really good, high immersion experiences, but it's not viable for home use. I'd like to see more attractions using it though. We've got foveated rendering and 360 treadmill thingies and processing to run it, but you can't afford them or put them anywhere.

Yeah that more or less nails it.

Originally I got into VR for use with things like flight simulators; but at the end of the day I use it mostly to explore my Minecraft creations. Infrared headtracking on the other hand is a very overlooked technology that is similarly immersive to VR and allows for the use of all sorts of peripherals.

I don't see a World where Cyberpunk 2077 flops, The Witcher 3 was a clunky boring and extremely long mediocre Action-RPG and yet is always there on top 10 video games of all time in your average Joe.

Doesn't matter how Average this game is, it's going to get praise.

This. Even the most critical reviews I've seen still admit there's fun to be had with it. The absolute worst this is going to do is a year or so from now it might end up on some "Games that failed to live up to the hype" lists. After selling like 10 million copies, of course.

The Long Dark is pretty based but I wish this far in its lifespan there was some kind of win state, even if it's super hard to get to.

I do wonder if there is a reviewer that has a big enough hateboner for CP2077 (and probably a massive loveboner for games like TLOU2) to rate it something like 0/10, and saying something stupid like "Even Action 52 and Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing are better than this!".
