Did anyone like doing the crucifixion job? I hated doing it, but I could not look away.

Its probably been my least favorite sidequest so far because of how awkward the whole thing was. Second would probably be the us cracks one. Pretty sure that bitch never paid me because i made the guy lose his focus or something too.

I loved it. I couldn't believe it when I hammered in the nails into the guys hand when citing the bible.
I also liked that you could pick if you would quote the new testament, the old testament or the quarn. Nothing much, but it adds some flavor. I picked the old testament.

I liked it. Probably one of the most dystopic and cyberpunk feeling quest in the game, and it had nothing to do with neon lights and rain.

I think I'm coming around on Cyberpunk. I stopped playing it and basically considered it to be a steaming shitpile but now that I'm doing more of the story missions and not trying to play it like it's GTA 5 I think it's a pretty good game at its core, just pretty rough around the edges. There's talk of a new game + option in an upcoming patch/DLC and I think I'd play it a second time after they fix all the bugs to get the proper experience.

Is it worth full price to you, though?
If things get implemented back in later on, it could be worth consideration for maybe half of what they're currently asking.

Got friends who've stopped playing the game because they feel it's unfinished, and they don't want to continue playing until the blatant issues have been solved. But I think they'll have to wait indefinitely then, a lot of the problems are clearly rooted in the foundation of the game.

the bigger question is how likely they are to pick the game up again even with the perfect fix? there will be inevitably new shit that keeps them busy, and by then the game will be "old news" (it basically is already).

What I found interesting from some people complaining that they couldn’t join the gangs was that they viewed the game like GTA V online. I never paid attention to the marketing, but in hindsight the last few trailers did show what was in the game.
 
I remain extremely skeptical they can actually fix the game for consoles. I mean it already has basically no AI and ps2 tier LOD and still runs at 20 fps. What could they possibly strip out to make it run better?
 
storyline is sick, but the game is not replayable after one playthrough in its current state because its just redundant. anything in this game being called decision based is a fallicy until the very last job in the storyline. i enjoyed my first playthrough a lot. made it to act 2 of my second playthrough before realizing it was the same exact game no matter what lifepath you choose or what speech options you choose. the only thing that changes is some of the romance options are dependent on gender lmfao. if the improvements dont come within the next 6 months ill probably pick up the game again anyways since it'll have been some time since round one. all this being said i do still have hope that this game will see improvements. this is not a new narrative for newly released games.

The shitty police system isn't the way it is because a developer couldn't be assed, it's broken fundamentally. you can't have a wanted system when there's no pursuit AI, you can't have the AI pursuing you if there's no driving AI, there can't be a driving AI if you can't get NPCs to avoid obstacles and calcualte dynamic routes.
It will take a hercuelean effort to try and correct the blatant issues in this game.

Why do people still buy new 'AAA' games? They are unilaterally shit compared to the vast majority of new indie titles and the vast majority of old vidya. That's a library too extensive for any one wage-earning person to have played too frequently to no longer enjoy. Additionally, even if they don't have some kind of 'games-as-a-service' in-game shop that price-gouges you for what would have been unlockables not that long ago, they normally are a buggy mediocre mess if not good enough to still be worth approaching a few years down the line. And by that stage, the price has dropped to 'treat yourself this time around' kind of money. You're conning yourself if you think the best part of a $100/£100 is worth the vidya equivalent of McDonalds and whatever terrible conversation you might strain out of whatever mates you have that still think that this is a good value proposition.

Everyone complaining about feeling burned after this release should have seen this coming. Big budget American-European games are consistently too shit to be worth $60/£60 on release. Always, ALWAYS, wait until the release either gets patched together and the price drops or is ditched and hence not worth your valuable drinking money.

They certainly can't with the team they have. It astounds me that they thought hiring from failed studios would make sense, but then again they're Polacks. I wonder if they felt pressure from the government since apparently they were looking to CDPR to be their answer to the AI question that every other major country is pursuing. Man, what a blowback, they loaded that sabotaged shell into the shotgun and lost half their face.

What really gets me is they had eight years of development and it wasn't even rough but finished but like 1/3 done at most. What the fuck were they doing? Drinking and being snarky on Twitter? MGSV was missing it's third act but that game was way more polished and fun to play than Cyberpunk.

Rumor has it that the game was scraped multiple time and really didn't get working until something like 2016. Like the original idea was a more Witcher like game were you play the cop in the first teaser hunting down cyberpyscho's and the conspiracy behind them.
CDPR could probably have pulled that off but then management wanted to chase the GTA Online money and well.....here we are.

He completely glossed over the review controversy. He also didn't bother to bring up how he straight up lied about the current gen versions of the game. I think they'll eventually make good on getting 2077 stable, even "great" in a couple of years, but the first playthrough will always be the most memorable. As uncommon as it is to see a CEO apologize like this, they also are in an incredibly dire situation in terms of grievous brand damage, furious shareholders, lawsuits from customers, and now looming oversight from Poland itself. With that said this will probably be enough to satiate the mildly perturbed normie consoomer and of course the reddit corpo-fellators still white knighting the CDPR brand.

Ok so I looked at that roadmap and translated it from Polish

Translators note: They're probably lying and not going to do many things

The first comment is literally "Honestly heart broken for the developers tbh." We're already at cope and white knight defense mode after all this.
