Did they finally add police chasing you and does it have even basic level open world AI functionality yet?

Why are people so obsessed with this? There's literally never a reason to interact with any of this in the game. It's not GTA.

Did anyone complain that you couldn't kill civies in The Witcher games?

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

It's good but short. A lot of the side missions feel the same too. I hated the racing side missions, with the ultra heavy rubberbanding.

 

[Nankatsu]

Glad for them, in a way.

I really think the concept and setting are really cool, and it's nice to see the game coming back from the dead.

But my wallet is not happy that I paid full price for this, specially because my game is now locked on PC .

 

[Certinty]

Honestly, I played this at launch on my Series X and whilst it was the most buggy game i’ve ever played and far from what they promised, it was still a lot of fun.

Story kind of sucked though and was way too short but whatever.

I’ll jump back in when the DLC drops but good to know the game is improved significantly now anyway.

 

[timothet]

I'm one of those returning they tweeting about. I lasted about 5mins before I uninstalled the game again. Best to wait till they've added actual content with their major DLC before returning I feel.

The game is clearly not for you if you get bored 5m into the game. No amount of added content will change that.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

No, it's still shit.

I think you’re over reacting there to be honest. It’s certainly an incredible improvement over the disaster it was at release.

I’m around 6h in on PC and I’ve come across one weird issue where I parked the car in a space outside one of the clubs at night and when I skipped time, an NPC car was in its place which caused V’s car to get thrown in the air. More funny than anything else.

 

[tommib]

Never got this complaint. If you want to be chased by the police go play GTA.

I think it’s more related to the police just dropping out of thin air wherever you were, as if cargo drops from helicopters inside living rooms. It was odd. I don’t know how that’s working now.

 

[timothet]

I think it’s more related to the police just dropping out of thin air wherever you were, as if cargo drops from helicopters inside living rooms. It was odd. I don’t know how that’s working now.

I feel like it could be in part remedied with spawning police AV alongside cops. I know it's a little lore incosistent as police dept is piss poor and couldn't afford to send AVs to every infraction, but still, it's better than teleporting cops.
It would work for MaxTac though, as they have indeed AV in their arsenal and they are send only to tackle major things.

 

[crackajack]

Its fixed.

also valid statement for PS4 and Xbone?
Do they still patch and support them with DLCs or was there a final patch for those already?

It seems like it never was more broken than the average RPG, and since they work on it until this day it could turn out like Skyrim and their own Witcher games with huge sales numbers. But releasing it on last gen was a terrible miscalculation that silenced the usually forgiving review voices for such games and while giving up those sales might have hurt too, but having kind of forever a release that is not only "hilarous" like some AC, Fallout, Stalker, Fifa bugs but so bad Sony refunded and removed your game, is a unique blunder.

 

[ClosBSAS]

Did they fully fix the game? I'm interested in playing it but the negative buzz around the game over the years makes me wary

Which is disappointing since I'm HUGE fan of The Witcher 1, 2 and 3

Yes, it's fully playable. A few bugs here and there but fully playable and complete now. Give it a shot. It's an amazing game at its peak.

 

[ClosBSAS]

It's just the anime giving the game some lift. Don't count on it lasting forever.

What a dumb argument. Game always had legs even at its worst, at least on PC. So I don't know wtf u talking about.

 

[chixdiggit]

Game is on sale right now on Steam. Might finally jump in this weekend.

It's good but short.

Seems like a lengthy game....

 

[Ozriel]

And now you know why Sony remastered TLOU 1.

When the show comes out and becomes a hit, you’ll get a bump in sales. Same way it worked for Witcher.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Seems like a lengthy game....

This looks really inaccurate, no way in hell a completionist playthrough would take only 100 hours. I'd give it 200.

60 hours for a main+extra also only feels doable if you only played the extra content partially.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I was just thinking of what I wanted to play next. I really liked Cyberpunk, and I’d imagine it’s changed a great deal from when I last played it.

 

[Shrap]

Sweet, sweet vindication. To all the people who called this game a failure or wrote it off entirely claiming nobody was interested in it anymore? You were all wrong. Games, while we would all like for them to launch flawlessly, the fact remains that so long as the studio is committed to the game, how the game launches is not how it will remain. Games can and do get even better, sometimes a lot better, with time. This game is one such instance, and I'm loving every bit of this.

I'm tired of this defence force crap. CDPR way overpromised and way underdelivered. Not only that but they intentionally hid versions of the game that were straight up broken and intentionally hid their state from customers, they forced reviewers to use only their own stock footage for reviews and only allowed them to review the PC version. They have since patched it multiple times but it is still nowhere near what they said it would be prior to launch and still has tons of bugs and terrible AI.

Games are released shit because this is what happens when games are released shit - people still buy them and still defend them to the grave. This will never change and what should've been a shift in the industry on the state of games at launch turned out to be a mild speed bump for one company.

I don't call that vindication, I call that recurring stupidity.

 

[GymWolf]

Sony fucked up greatly by not releasing the lazy remake with the serial to boost the interest, like cyberpunk did with edgerunners.

 

[EDMIX]

Never got this complaint. If you want to be chased by the police go play GTA.

yea or Mafia 1 remake, or Red Dead 2, or Sleeping Dogs or Just Cause or Watchdogs, matter fact, go play any game with AI where humans behave as such if you want that type of common sense development, what did you think this was? 2001 PS2 level design? smh Go back to PS2 if you want that type of future advanced AI.

Keep in mind, its not as if CP2077 has ever made any argument for being in a city with cops or that the game is about any type of city even capable of that. If they wanted it to be "gTaZ" they would have let you drive cars and have cops and crime and stuff, none of that is in CP2077 btw......oh wait lol

Sir, if they have some Getaway remake or reboot or The Getaway 3, do you really believe it would make sense to have no cops driving cars? Oh to have that is to be like "GTA"? You sure? You sure its not because..well stealing a fucking car would result in a cop chasing you or? Cause it makes sense in a world thats literally telling us about corrupts cops and gangs and they are literally allowing us to drive cars in those worlds? Soooooooo when they add this update, you telling me it makes no sense and what, you'll stop playing the game in outrage?

[ZehDon]

And now you know why Sony remastered TLOU 1.

Unfortunately, the show and TLOU1 will tell, effectively, the same story with the same characters. Given how linear and limited TLOU1 is, I don't think it'll have the same impact. I suspect TLOU2 would actually get a bigger bump, assuming the TV Show is well received.

 

[nightmare-slain]

so happy for them that people are not listening to the haters and giving it a chance to decide for themselves.

it's not a perfect game and has issues but it's a fun game and definitely worth playing. compared to when i last played it the game has got much better and it will keep improving with future patches and the expansion.

 

[balls of snow]

Agreed. My first playthrough with everything was 150 hours minus the idle time I was enjoying V's apartment watching the ingame tv and browsing the net.
And I still missed a few sidequests along the way.

 

[EDMIX]

Unfortunately, the show and TLOU1 will tell, effectively, the same story with the same characters. Given how linear and limited TLOU1 is, I don't think it'll have the same impact. I suspect TLOU2 would actually get a bigger bump, assuming the TV Show is well received.

Its hard to tell. TLOU1 remake will have long legs and as people buy PS5's and that show continues, you'll likely see more and more buying it to play the series at that entry point. Regardless, I think you'll see a sales bump on most games when shows come out on Netflix or HBO of new consumers jumping into the series.

I'm not really sure how it did on netflix though

Top 10 TV Shows on Netflix Right Now

Weekly Top 10 lists of the globally most-watched TV and films on Netflix.

top10.netflix.com

so it didn't make it in the top 10, but I'm sure for Anime it did well and helped in exposer for the IP.

balls of snow I put about 68 hours or so in the game and didn't do all the side quest. I wanted to 100% it, but felt I got what I got from it lol

I really liked the apartment and felt as amazing as the design was, I couldn't help but to wonder how great it could have been with more function and wonder what they had planned before it was rushed. If it does get some sequel in the future, I want to see all that stuff fleshed out. Reasons to be at the apartment, chases, modding cars to get away from the police. It feels like the game was half an idea.

By the time I was done, it just felt like a great value borderlands type thing were the most fun I got was merely shooting bad guys that could barely offer a real fight to me. An idea is there, I just don't know if this publisher is willing to fund and properly staff their team to allow that to become a real thing that makes sense.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Cyberpunk 2077 was only on the market for less than one month and sold 13 million copies across all platforms. In less than a month, Cyberpunk 2077's massive success helped CDPR hit a new all-time record high of 2.139 billion PLN (roughly $541.9 million as of March 31, 2021 conversions).

And if you Google CDProjekt SA stock market performance you will see Dec 4th 2020 at 443 PLN per share, and afterwards a rather yikes slide into abyss. Today the stock is at 90PLN if someone wants to load on shares.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

What a turnaround. Cyberpunk went from an unprecedented disaster that nearly killed CDPR to a beloved game that is getting rave reviews, increased fanbase and shows on Netflix. They rebooted the game in a very impressive way.

Too bad their stock market price continues to fall.

Yeah a cyberpunk sequel would actually be everything you people ( insert: what do you mean you people meme) want it to be. For others, its not surprising why we return to the game, we are 2 years into next gen and the best (only) new open world city we have is a gen z Saints Row and a gen z Watch Dogs game.

True, that is part of the explanation, but you can see incredible slide after CP2077 was released. Of course we all know what happened, but it's funny how the article tries to spin it by pretending it was an incredible success right from the start.

If we judge it by sales, it was one of the most successful games ever. It sold 8 figure copies at full price, not many games manage to do that (only the big Nintendo games, CoD, FIFA and outliers like Elden Ring manage to do it). Of course the reception of the game wasn't great and the stock price absolutely thumbled, although the latter could also be explained by the fact that CDPR stock was massively overvalued for a while (at some point it was worth more than Ubisoft, iirc).

 

[The_Mike]

Well i mean i checked the game out too because of the patch and i dont really like the game so.
Lets see if 1 million gamers are still checking the game out a couple of weeks from now.

Single player games tend to die out within the first few months after release.

 

[existensmaximum]

Well deserved! On PC at least, it's one of the best games I've played for the last 10-15 years easily.

[Hot5pur]

Played it on PC after the major patches, it's a decent game, but a very flawed one.
The cyberware upgrades don't feel meaningful, the "open world" is hardly believable, it's kinda of soulless and empty, the gameplay itself is middling at best.
It has the characters and an alright story going for it, and really nice visuals, that's about it. As a "game" I just wanted to be done with it and move on.
The anime on the other hand is fantastic, far more engrossing than the game itself.
I think CDPR is still a very capable studio but they bit off more than they could chew, even if the game launched bug-free. Witcher 3 was way ahead of its time in almost every way but Cyberpunk just feels like a really advanced tech demo with a story.

 

[ManaByte]

See, again that’s your problem for ASSUMING a first-person Western CRPG like Elder Scrolls or The Witcher was going to be GTA Future.

 

[Bojji]

See, again that’s your problem for ASSUMING a first-person Western CRPG like Elder Scrolls or The Witcher was going to be GTA Future.

CP is like Deus Ex in mission sections, and between them there is open world to traverse. But it is completely different genre than all games he mentioned, that's for sure.

All games EDMIX mentioned are GTA clones, nothing in them is comparable to what CP is.

 

[Shifty1897]

See, again that’s your problem for ASSUMING a first-person Western CRPG like Elder Scrolls or The Witcher was going to be GTA Future.

To be fair, their marketing went all in on advertising the game as the next GTA, not a CRPG. A lot of people bought the game who honestly shouldn't have, and were disappointed.

I love it though.
And I know it's already buzzing around here but seriously that anime is incredible. If you like Cyberpunk's world but don't like anime, still check it out. You'll be surprised.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Cyberpunk anime FTW!

The anime made me want to play again. I'm at the end of my first play thru, but I'm locked into a hacker build, and it getting quite boring.

So I turned the game off because I don't feel like starting completely over again to be able to change my build.

I'm not talking about bugs. Just think it it is not a very good game at this point. Desperately needs gameplay tweaks and the open world (non mission content) is boring as hell.

Did you need to throw in the Mandela Effect bit? Don't be an asshole.

I blame Action Button.

This masterpiece of a review came out Oct 26 last year


…but it’s an hour long, and the average gamers attention span today is measured in seconds not minutes (myself included)…. So 10 months later here we are as I’m assuming I’m not the only one that just finished watching it in 30 second increments.

Anime might’ve helped but I’m on team action button

So a rushed game can be good eventually !

Shigeru Miyamoto is real quiet all of a sudden...

 

[Kagero]

Huge supporter right from the start. I love the game and for me, better than The Witcher. Happy to see it find success. I want to see the franchise continue.

 

[AlphaMale]

I started this game a few weeks ago (right before the v.160 patch and Netrunners anime), and found this game to be amazing, despite the glitches. It's basically everything Deus Ex, but with 10x more of everything (in a good way).
So, if you like Deus Ex, you should be right at home with Cyberpunk 2077!
