@@WesNemo yeah definitely hyped. My favorite I.P. of all time is Shadowrun, but the cyberpunk 2077 I.P. is just as badass. only real difference to me is I want magic and orcs'n'shit. Hopefully with what they learned from last time, they knock it out of the park straight from the gate.
@@TheOldestPrimordial you're right but the game is perfect right now with the dlc and all problems fixed. It has no multiplayer so there is no need to keep developing the game. It's better that they work on project orion, which could contain multiplayer which means long-term support.
I had a great experience on console as well. Started on Ps5 but moved to XBox for it’s Quality Mode and other higher visual settings (PS had a more limited back compat, not a console war post) and had an awesome time. Played through it half a dozen times since. Although back then it was a month into the new gen and not enough people had those consoles. So I can see why the response was the way it was. Game is polished now though and it really is a must play. So glad they didn’t abandone the IP and that we’re getting a sequel.
Yeah, already loved the guy but damn, he must have really believed in the narrative and the people from CDPR he was able to work with and befriend. Such a sigma beast lmao
@@wingedhussar1453 Oh yes the guy who is known for not caring about money, and is also set for life, and has been for decades. Was motivated by money alone to voice a videogame character. This makes sense :)
Amazing, I don't even remember the last time I encountered a single bug or loss of framerate or anything like that Edit: I'm on PS5 @@user-rg5lg2zo3l
At release.. I was telling people in the comments to calm down.. relax.. they had the game in their hands even if it wasn't completely finished.. so just put it down and wait for the patch.. and you don't have to wait for another release date you already have it.. It'll get fixed or fixed enough and it'll be awesome. But modern adults seem to still be children with TikTok brain. "I want it now". They almost ruined the company and if that had happened NO MORE CYBERPUNK. Here we are.. and it's awesome. People need to chill a bit and stop being so entitled they prematurely destroy AMAZING things.
@edgarwhite9439 they are also too dumb to realize a lot its the investors forcing publishers/dev teams to rush games out. Same investors that are forcing games to go woke these days too
@@forgamerd7575 I don’t really know how it would affect the endings… if anything it’ll probably just effect most the side missions like Chippin’ In or other ones where it gives you loot and gear you already have.
I love what an oppressive hell night city is. The first time i went Nomad because i was also a stranger to Night city. Some people have some pretty cool theories like Dex being broke as hell or Jackie being a manipulative has been.
@@jacobshank9362 V is faaaar better and younger than him yet Vic gives V free stuff? He knows contraband or has Corpo gear. He thinks he's better than Saburo! A God?
I loved playing this game but my personal top annoyance was the actual roles you picked in the start had no actual start differences maybe small cutscenes but nothing like what you have now, the new patches are a huge difference to original launch and i love it but hate how long it took for it to happen because i play a lot of games and don't always like coming back to games i finish but its a good example on how games can be saved and not abandoned given time
They definitely saved it but the initial controversy really damaged its rep. I'm just sad for the people that will now miss out on this hidden gem because of it. The life paths have different dialog options throughout the game which makes it really fun to roleplay different builds. edit: spelling
@@The78DdayNot necessarily. I've wanted to puke each time I've seen NFS Unbound's cartoon smoke, until I've found the game on sale and felt in love with it.
Believe it or not on day one this game ran phenomenally on my Xbox one somehow I only crashed once, and that was about six hours into the game I didn’t experience really any graphical errors or bugs, all I was seeing was the TikTok memes in all of these memes, basically driving the game into the trashcan, even though I had a really good experience
Same here, maybe 2 or 3 crashes across 2 playthroughs, and once or twice if I stood at the right angle a piece of an environmental texture would stretch across the screen.
Its crazy because I remember day one release and i was playing on ps5 and couldn't understand peoples' complaints because i never had a bug,glitch,or error
Yeah the game was pretty volatile. For some people, it actually ran pretty smooth. But for others, the T-posing, ncp glitches, slow texture loads, etc, were more prominent.
I actually bought the game day 2 because I wanted to experience the bugs, sometimes I find stuff like that fun. My copy on a ps4 pro only crashed once.
This game still lacks A LOT of side quests, i mean real side quests not that police work or car theft, a story driven side quests and A LOT of random encounters on street, NC looks pretty safe as place to live, not what they promised us.
Oddly enough, the disastrous launch has in a way kind of helped the game. The bar has been set so low that the game simply being *competent* or *functional* after all the updates has made people go, "see??? It's finally the great game that it was meant to be!" Even though it's still a far cry from being the ground-breaking open world RPG experience that CDPR initially promised. I'm glad that the game is overall enjoyable now, but lets not pretend that its suddenly setting a new standard.
@@eddyram4932 since all the updates there’s literally so many side quest whether it’s cops gang stealing cars and then Dogtown just added a whole new level
@@yaratv2000 So they hired *one* person who departed from SBI, in a yet unknown capacity but certainly no executive role since those will go to Cyberpunk Veteran developers. Which effectively means SBI is in no capacity involved with Cyberpunk Orion, which is reflected on their Wiki Page that lists every Project, even those whose release is potentially years away, and Orion isn't on that list. God, imagine a World where people like you don't exist, who cry "woke" at mere shadows on the Wall. Would be one step closer to Utopia.
They do not have any Sweet Baby Inc writers. I'm seeing a lot of you say this because Mary Kelley was hired (who was an advocate for SBI on her personal Twitter). So I get the confusion. But lets not say they're actually working with Sweet Baby Inc consultants, because they're not. She also made it clear that she cannot self insert any activist material if the devs don't want it. She has no power over it, she assured everyone. She's simply a writer on the team. Sweet Baby Inc themselves, have 0% connection to CDPR right now. If that is to change in the future, then we can cry wolf.
I didn't even bother with cyberpunk at all. Then the expansion release and the mega patch before it seemed to be getting a ton of response so I checked it out. Definitely one of my favorite play throughs.
Their comeback execution was flawless. They started cooking and I'm not sure if the anime was supposed to be an ingredient in the whole thing but it took that dish to the next level.
Bro, you choose the smartest path, waiting until every last feature was implemented and fixed. I wish I had done this. I believe the very last thing they did to the game was to increase the difficulty of the final boss to bring him more in line with his lore. I wish I had waited for this because even after the total game overhaul, he was still a little too easy.
@aperson4640 well, there's still promised FSR3 that was promised by both CDPR and AMD (I think it still shows Cyberpunk on AMD's website about FSR3) that's not implemented, and possibly won't be implemented at all
As someone who kinda forgot about this game due to its crappy launch, and being reminded that it existed after watching Edge Runners, I can say that the show alone basically saved this game's life
@@dmnd7nope I agree it was the show the show got a lot more people playing that didn't bother trying it say 1 who buys a whole game for a DLC when the game has non stop drama the show got so many people playing and into the genre
I'd still prefer 3rd cause what's the char creator for? Still doesn't make any sense. Different outfits. Just ridiclulous we have this features but can only see them in mirror or photomode. Just lazy, imo.
The fact it was first person is what kept me from playing it until last month...I was bored and gave it a shot, now I have 200 hours and starting my 3rd playthrough, I did male V/nomad first, then male V again but different choices. Now I am doing female V/streetkid and I will probably do another play again after. We will never know what third person would of been but I feel first person was the right choice. The mechanics they were able to do with first person just wouldnt work in 3rd, and wouldnt be as impactful. 20 out of 10 game, love the world, love the story and god I wish we got another expansion. Instead they are making Cyberpunk 2 with an american dev team meaning itll be a lump of garbage. The story will be awful and I can guarentee they will ruin the aesthetic of the game. Luckily we will always have Cyberpunk 2077 with mods
yup. It'll be full of "diversity" and woke culture especially since it's being made in Boston. Unless the directors can reign them in and ensure that any "DEI requirements" get put in tastefully and not some bullshit integral part of the story. I'm hopeful but I will not be pre-ordering this game for the sole reason that it's developed in the U.S.... Lord willing we will get a cyberpunk making a name for themselves story and not a lets fight systemic oppression steaming lump of shit.
They just hired an activist writer from Ubisoft I think. She said that they have to put all the efforts for diversity and inclusion. So there, as much as I love the game, I won’t be getting the next Cyberpunk day one. I will have a a wait and see approach, but I have no hopes for that next fame being good.
@@BurnerShiro yep, she wants 3% of the population to be 50% in game. She wants to see every character gay so she feels represented and special...forget good storytelling, gotta check those boxes
Try female v corpo if you plan on doing another one. It fits more with a female character imo. Snarky corpo woman who lost everything resorts to taking on merc work in the dangerous streets of NC to scrape by.
I got it on steam sale. Its been nice. I do have a problem with the false illusion of choice impact. I rather they just play out the cut scene without pretending like what i say matters lol
I'd say about 80% of the time it matters what you say and that can change certain situations, relationships, missions and the ending. So you are wrong bro.
I actually find myself thinking about V and the adventure I had with him from time to time. One particular moment i can’t shake is saying goodbye to Judy as she decides to move to Portland. She was The love of Vs life but he could never have her. Beautiful moment.
The game is as vast as the Pacific Ocean, but it's only ever as deep as a puddle. I hope the sequel is more along the lines of what they originally wanted to deliver.
well, it really wasnt in a horrible state or anything, tons of people played it with no issues. its just the people who played it on old gen who had problems.
@Jacket50Blessings I played it and the experience was horrible. I could see the potential but it was filled with bugs. Still has some bugs, like the overwatch rifle for example. Can't complete my wail because it's stuck in my character inventory.
I only played the game for the first time in June on a fresh PC build, and I am glad that both the base game and its expansion in its present state were my introduction.
While it wasn't super smooth and polished, I was able to play with only a few issues on an Xbox One. The PS4 (Pro) wouldn't play it at all, crashes each time I tried to load it. This game is great! So many ways to play, in fact, I'm about to start yet another walk through. Orion should be just as cool, I can't wait.
Same I was lucky 1% that didn't see any glitches on PC. Unless you count running next to a vehicle's bumper an unoptimized script. In the first month I found 7 roof tops the dev didn't think people would reach, reached and I fell to the underworld and had to reload from a check point. The inventory limit was reached fast.
This game is better in first person because it forces YOU the player to feel the moral weight of every decision V makes as if you were living their life through your eyes
I still remember playing it on PC at launch and wondering how everyone was having so many issues. My game crashed twice. That's it. That's the only problem I had at all with the game during that launch time frame. No bugs, no glitches, no game breaking issues besides those two crashes. Guess I just lucked out. Been playing it off and on since. On my 4th playthrough and this time is for the "secret" ending.
I had a decent experience at launch loved the DLC. They did so great with Witcher 3 I just kinda blindly trusted them and though the game had its problems I always loved it. The world they created is just that good and the fixes and improvements only made it better. Look forward to their next take on this universe.
CDPR called it the official 1.0 launch, instead of early-access. Once 2.0 finally rolled out, that's the point when early-access should have ended and they should have called that version the official 1.0 full release instead. The game was launched very incomplete and broken, and calling that mess anything other than early-access is just dishonest.
The gangs definitely do play a role in the game. So many of the gigs and side stories to be uncovered in the world have to do with characters from the different games. Not to mention the several main story missions around maelstrom, voodoo boys, etc
I play on a PC and am a recent player. I am on the 2.01 version. I wholeheartedly agree that Cyberpunk is an amazing game! I love everything about it. I wonder if the pandemic had anything to do with the slow start.
New Game Plus is completely doable despite the reasons they gave for not doing it. Dying Light 2 did it to where New Game Plus skips the prologue and dumps you right in the map with all the previously collected gear, upgrades & skills earned. Here's how CDPR could do it for Cyberpunk: You'll start at the Difficulty option screen then it'll skip the character creator and lifepath selector since you'll be replaying on the same character save you did previously. Then it skips where you meet Jackie and goes straight to the 6th month montage then starts you at the Scav/Sandra Dorsett mission with all your gear, upgrades, clothing, money, stats etc. and that's essentially how they could do it.
Anybody that played the TTRPG knows that its first 2 versions were set in 2013 and 2020. The first trailer for 2077 was released in 2013 and then the game was later announced to be released in 2020. I've always thought this was intended to be some sort of marketing "Easter egg". But instead of it being some cool little bit of information that CDPR could point out it instead turned into a massive blunder when at the end of 2020 they still weren't quite finished with the game and released it anyway.
Those who expect it to be perfect on day one probably only ever played Witcher 3 after it was patched over a few times. CDpr games had always been jank since Witcher 1(it had to be fixed in Enhanced Edition), Witcher 3 had a lot of bugs early on as well that I got stuck unable to leave to Skellige on the ship as it keep crashing, not to mention sometimes Geralt's face morphed away from his head, the usual Roach hijinks, etc. The time I got my hands on Cyberpunk it atleast was playable from start to finish with some funny stuff happening. People's expectation almost killed it.
Currently playing through on a 4090, 7800X3D and years of post launch improvements and I’m glad I waited….i bought it at launch with a 2080ti and after the disastrous launch, I made the hard choice to wait. And wait I did. And I am so damn happy that I did. Because what I’m playing right now is a masterpiece.
Its funny cause i didnt experience my first glitch till i was in the final mission to beat the game, all the sound cut out for the last mission other than that game was fun as heck
I am just now playing it for my first time through (don't get a lot of game time. Kids.) and was really annoyed when I found out that the 2.0 update was only released for PS5, not PS4.
i just hope we wont have to wait 10 or more years just for a sequel. im praying it comes out at least in 4-5 years, because im in love with this game, and i only started playing it after phantom liberty came out
Nice video, but to be clear CDPR has said recently that they might be interested in doing small content updates for Cyberpunk. And FSR 3.0 is already confirmed to be on the way. Support for the game isn't completely finished just yet.
I joined the Cyberpunk community late on, I think around when patch 1.5 was live. I did experience the odd bug here and there, but overall I was so gripped by the game. But then when 2.0 and Phantom Liberty came out, my god. It was the game that CDPR promised it to be. I really hope the next installment in the Cyberpunk world carries on the good work the chooms at CDPR have done with Cyberpunk 2077
So i bought this game on sale, sometime within the first year of release, but i never got around to playing it. It sat uninstalled for over a year. A few weeks ago I finally downloaded it and started my first playthrough. Im so grateful to my past self for not playing it any sooner, its such a fantastic game, so great i immediately bought the DLC after about 30 hours in my first playthrough. Still on my first playthrough and already thinking about my next V build
I did the same thing; I started playing it in late 2021 and, while the ps4 version was still buggy, it was a relatively good experience; then when I upgraded to the PS5, it was a completely different experience (in a great way) I didn’t play it again until about three months ago and I am still playing the game and enjoying every moment of it
I dont get why people hate delays. Just wait until the game is finished ffs, if its going to get delayed, its obviously not done and sending the developers death threats and then complain the game releases unfinished is so insanely pathetic
I think Cyberpunk's disastrous launch was not entirely their fault. It has the stink of corporate execs pushing them to launch it early and I am sure the studio heads were fighting back, but at the end of the day the board always gets their way, as you can see in the damn game itself, which ironic. But the worse part is I am sure heads rolled after that launch of people who were not even in agreement with the too early launch.
i first avoided cyberpunk 2077 because of its launch but im glad i waited till version 1.6 to buy the game. It became one of my top 10 games and i still play it to this day update 2.0 was AWESOME
I never had any trouble; bought it on release. If you know how to build a rig, and realize consoles will NEVER hold a candle to PC, your entire gaming experience will meet or beat your expectations.
1st and 3rd person shouldve been an oprion. ive played since launch, love the game, always come back to it. cdpr should not stop adding to it until orion, imo. new game plus, and more additional stories will always be wanted.
This game has been my favorite singleplayer experience since it first came out. Even in its buggy state, it was like nothing I ever played and I loved every second of that first playthrough, and even more so for the second (post fix) and third (post phantom liberty) playthroughs. This game is a masterpiece in my book
When I say I absolutely HATED this game when it came out is an absolute understatement. Luckily I stuck with it after all the updates and the expansion I can proudly say Cyberpunk is my favorite game of all time
I love the first person, but i think more studios need to do 1st and 3rd person perspectives like gta, fallout, and elder scrolls. Its nice to have detailed first person experiences along side 3rd person to see your outfits or large area sceneries when you want.
Bought a copy at launch, returned it and finally repurchased it a bit before 2.0 patch dropped. I can still see the shortcomings in the story web but it’s a great game
i played for the first time on 2.1 and it was crazy im glad i waited til it was on steam sale 3 years later lol, cause now i look back on my experience with cyberpunk almost as fondly as my first witcher 3 play through
I upgraded my slim ps4 with an 4tb SSD and put liquid metal on the processor. I had no issues running Cyberpunk day 1 and was able to platinum it. This game wasn't made for an HDD, they're just too slow.
I think Cyberpunk has gotten so much praise since they “fixed” it and added more things… and I just don’t think it’s super deserved. I think it’s a decent game now, but I still think a lot of it is lackluster. Gameplay is kinda bland and I think the majority of the story/characters are just flat and uninteresting.
I had the game since it dropped and just last night installed visual mods. This is hands down my favorite game and now looks like I am playing in real life. lol
Sorry, the first person perspective is terrible without third person cinematic cut scenes The way they did it completely nullified the joy of character customization. Next game needs to have cinematic cut scenes and lots of them
I love the first person for Cyberpunk 2077, it adds so much to the immersion. But when it comes to traveling around NC an all, I'm on my bike in third person to enjoy how my character looks.
I delayed getting the game because of the initial issues. I also went out of my way to know nothing before going into it. I hate having the ending spoiled before I can play a game. In this case, I wish I had. Once I started playing it was an ok game, but as soon as it became clear that V was going to die, I lost all interest and quit playing.
I'm happy with the failure of CDPR. Here's why. The failure of Cyberpunk 2077 and its subsequent fixes led to many changes within the company. I imagine that the management's approach to future productions will also change. It was an important lesson for the company, but also an opportunity to rebuild stronger, as evidenced by the fixed game.
