Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

I remember days when a patch could seriously, drastically change the game and it was kilobytes to megabytes, now you have to redownload half the thing.

I remember days where patches didn't exist.

The more I think about it the more pissed off I am and the more I think this game is utter shit, it's the first and last game I bought on day 1 legitimately believing CDPR was smarter than this.

I honestly don't understand why you guys keep pre-ordering or buying video games on day one still. I stopped this practice after the days of Mindjack, Mass Effect 3 and SimCity (Lord help us all). I know CDPR had a different reputation at the time, but they still applied there at the off-chance that they release a broken, unfinished game. Even games that have done well like God of War and Ghosts of Tsushima, I wanted to wait months before getting.

So do I, those were better days that are forever gone, thanks internet.

And well, personally I never preordered anything and asked people the same thing a shitload of times C2077 was the first and last game I got on Day 1 because I liked CDPRs previous games (and them in general) and thought, meh, I'll risk supporting a studio by buying at full price this time. Got burned real hard and question the practice more than ever.

Now I'm forever back to waiting for Enhanced/GOTY Edition with at least 60% discount.

 

[Secret Asshole]

I don't think you should really ever buy Cyberpunk 2077. The game isn't going to be properly fixed because it needs a total rework and is a $35 AA title at most, even without the glitches and bugs.

Welp.

So CD Projekt has graduated into a bland, AAA studio. You'll consoom, you'll eat the fucking gruel.

If this is Casablanca, I'm Humphrey Bogard saying "We'll always have The Witcher 3" and then pushing CD Projekt Red into the propeller blades of the plane.

I'd pay $20 for the inevitable GOTY edition with all DLC and patches. I think it's good enough to marathon over a weekend of pizza and red bull and then forget about completely.

$60 right now is bonkers though.

Same. It's worth at least something, even if it's dimes. $20 for the GOTY version later on sounds reasonable.

 

[X Pac Heat]

Remember, you can't be upset at a developer pushing out a total shitshow otherwise you might literally destroy them. Some fuckin' gamers, man...

 

[blablabla]

cdpr fucking sucks and i hope they die

I have a copy of mindjack I bought for cheap. Good times....

Yeah. Imagine being a glorified beta tester paying full price for this game.

"Clearly our reach exceeded our grasp and we got too ambitious with Cyberpunk 2077. In response, we're going to reach even further and become even more ambitious."

In a few more years whatever shell is left of CDPR will probably be bought out by EA or Microsoft.

 

[Idiot Doom Spiral]

Somewhere, in an undisclosed location deep below the Bethesda ruins, a diminutive figure sits alone in a room thick with cigarette haze, hunched in bored contemplation over his latest chess endgame, clad in leather jacket and clutching a near-empty snifter of rum. The stranger’s tousled hair is swept back as he sees the latest Cyberpunk 2077 shitshow developing on his functioning Pip-Boy. Studying the image of Marcin Iwiński robotically apologising for the state of his abandonware magnum opus, the lone ponderer gives a barely perceptible nod to the screen, weakly raises his filthy glass and utters, through clenched veneers:

”Who’s laughing now”

As the Leaf in thread, I apologize for the fact our Game Devs are either West Coast Retards, or French. No way this ends well, outside popcorn fuel

After the shitshow that was Mass Effect Andromeda, I put a hard stop on basically any preorders. Barring the rare time from games I know won’t shit the bed (example - Dragon Quest 11), I’ve managed to not preorder.

If nothing else, Cyberjank just reinforced that lesson.

Buying the studio that pretty much was the cause of Cyberpunk's bullshit is something I doubt even EA would do.

even his games are pure chadness (it'sa joke, we all know he's shill)

NPCs not being able to fight back or defend themselves blows my mind. That's been a standard feature in open world games for almost twenty years now.

 

[los pepes]

For me, there was momentary anger and a touch of betrayal after having been lied to like politicians do by a publisher I foolishly thought was above all this.
Now my entertainment is in hoping the company slowly implodes and then goes up completely in flames before the CEO shoots himself.
The world is irreparably corrupted.

So I went into CP2077 completely blind. Didn't follow any of the hype or watch any of the vids. I was aware it was being hyped to shit, but I didn't want to spoil myself. Put around 100 hours into it doing all the cloned side missions cause I had nothing better to do. It had its moments, but there was a lot that felt empty or missing. Best way to describe the game is encapsulated in the prologue. I went corpo and remember walking through the building, listening to the folks, expecting all these little tidbits to matter later in the story. Talking to my boss and expecting to go on a mission to expose some corposlut. "This is so awesome... lets go." Then you realize oh shit that's it, it's over... this is all actually meaningless". Felt the same way leading up to stealing the macguffin. "This is fun enough, I hope the rest of the game is like th-...oh".

After I finished the game I finally got online and started reading all the pre release hype and lies and holy fucking shit. They lied so shamelessly hard all I could do is laugh at the end product. I totally get why people that followed this thing for years closely are raging. As a standalone non hyped experience it's a 6-7 out of 10. Factoring in the open lies and shady review tactics and all that, it's a 2 at best. I'll certainly never believe or listen to a word coming out of their polack mouths again.

Same here at the end of the day, maybe at most $30

Did they get absorbed by EA or something?
No wait, EA got over that tactic with the single player starwars game.

 

[Site of Origin]

Stopped following the hype in 2018, was still pretty disappointed. 0 rpg, 0 branching paths. Anyone remember that quest designer bragging about his notebook that was full of branching paths and approaches to quests? What a crock of shit.

Anyone wants a better cyberpunk genre RPG, go play Shadowrun on the Genesis. Open world, large story, infinite random missions from Mr. Johnsons, upgrades for cyberware, gun customization that actually matters, and Deckers can actually hack instead of just cast hack spells at enemies.

Seriously, the matrix is basically an entire second game with its own rules, enemy types, and relevant stats. You can kill building security for your shadowruns against corps, get data files, and even find secret systems.

Also, unlike Cyberpunk, there's a gang reputation system. Amazing how a console game from 1994 just shits all over this game.
