Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

[Venusaur]

I wasn't hyped for this game, the plan was to play it once it went on sale. However, I had it gifted and am currently playing it on the PS4. I had low expectations, and thought this would make me less dissapointed.

I was wrong.

It's janky af.

I'm only in the beginning and the sheer amount of graphical glitches has been astounding. Lots of broken npc animations, foung my car 6 feet in the air after parking it, and my favorite: my character being a pair of floating dissembodied boobs during a montage of jack and V doing rad shit. I can't even comment on the story yet.

Companies like Bethesda are famoyns for buggy games, but man... the start of Skyrim went more smoothly than this mess.

Now lets talk about my most hated aspect of this game that would make absolutely no sense in any video game; the armor system. I have no clue what the hell CD Projekt Red was smoking when they thought of this idea but it has to be the most bafflingly retarded concept I've ever witnessed. Clothing in this game gives you armor. A short skirt and baseball jacket is more durable and protective then a body suit with armor plated vests and padded kneecaps. Why? Why on earth does a trilby have disproportionately more armor than a police helmet or a motorcycle helmet for that matter? Why the fuck do I have to stroll around town doing missions looking like a clown if I don't want to get outgunned by my enemies? Even worse is these clothes sometimes carry percentage bonuses to stats, but generally they're so underwhelming that you'd be better off maxing out your armor rather than counting stats because as long as you can aim and shoot a maxed out weapon with perks it doesn't matter. Another part of this is the RPG stats themselves. They're fine, but they feel so underwhelming to the point where it just feels like I'm pumping more into damage rather than performance because you get used to the shitty recoil once you play long enough. They also feel way too easy to earn and obtain to the point where I have to ask was there another way planned or did they intent to have you earn them as you leveled up?

I'd go the other way. Even with cyberwear armor doesn't seem to do all that much. I got over 300 and still can't really tank anything, while some pants I found add 15% to crit chance.

Surprisingly, the minimum specs seem to be somewhat legit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQwZg1CmxSk

please tell me you recorded that glitch with the floating boobs. That is too precious to not preserve for posterity.

Tech shotguns seem kind of op. A charged shot will always knock enemies on their ass and you can essentially stunlock enemies. It even works on bosses.

I was at least hoping for some Dragon's Dogma levels of customization but it took me five minutes to make V. Not gonna lie I'm kinda salty to see NPCs like Jackie and Pepe having some sort of facial/body build uniqueness to them, but I can only make V "unique" if I hit the randomization button to get a Frankenstein.

I'm honestly surprised by reddit having some balls for once. Last year when they announced it would only be "body types" etc and when I first saw the pic of the art director, I was talking to redditors from that subreddit and they pretty much all called me retarded for thinking that this was a valid indication of the game ending up like shit. On another occasion I saw redditors defending CDPR copystriking people. Ah man, I never get tired of saying "told you so".

In this video it seems like 1.04 lowered draw distance a lot, that's why it works a bit more tolerable now. They thought no one wouldn't notice.

Going close to the building doesn't fix anything.

This could be just a coincidence that newer patch has more problems with loading textures, but oh well.

Unfourtunately I wasnt quick enough. It was in that intro montage just before you go to Night City. In all the scenes where V is shown in a mirror, replace V with a floating pair of boobs. I don't know enough about vidya coding, but cosidering that people with penis 1 and penis 2 have been reporting clipping issues, somebody in the Boobs and Vagene Department screwed up.

I like when non-geeks make a game and include an AI villain, it's almost like they don't understand that a sapient AI could easily manipulate you into doing anything.

Silverhand isn't an AI. It's literally his consciousness projected into cyberspace, ie singularity.

That's AI, unless they prove it has a spirit transferred from a human.
The point being that even a mongoloid can outthink you running at the massively increased you get from semiconductors vs bio wetware.

That's a crying shame. I think they might have been taking inspiration from this particular fan on their forums:

I want to make a game where all you do is shoot disembodied tits. Figuring out if that's okay (pointy-shooty) or not (gasp - BOOBIES) should give those guardians of propriety a very funny aneurysm...

Almost there!

For what it's worth, here's the next best thing I've seen:

It literally is a spirit/mind transferred from a human. There's an entire background sequence that shows you the process and then Silverhand explains it to you.

Mind would be a soul, and meaningless to the thinking speed point.
Whatever, geekiness suppression mode activated.

When are we getting the mod to make it always rain? It looks pretty damn good but seems to be so rare.

Pretty much every rpg in existence uses scaling level and encounter zones.

Do you not play rpgs?

Is this really an rpg though? CDPR stopped calling it an rpg and switched to "open world action adventure" back in June, 2019. https://forums.cdprojektred.com/ind...importantly-talk-to-us-please.11008207/page-3

For a game which dialogue options ive seen so far boil down to A or B its awful to see it taken as an RPG. I remember back when Fallout 4 released a main criticism was its dialogue options were ABCD and people joked that the next rpgs would just have A and B choices. I understand a voice protagonist will always limit options but we have already had games like Mass Effect do it well so I dont see why it has to progress to this other than a lack of time in development for the final iteration of the game. I really hope cyberpunk 2077 does not influence other rpgs to follow and cut down on dialogue options any further cause that joke didnt need to come true ffs.
