reminds me of when I bought the game, saw the rpg damage numbers and level shit And returned the game immediately. I bought it later because my friends enjoyed the game - it was funnish but eh...never played past the five hour mark.
Yeah finally, those games used to be fun, but after the level restriction addition i have no interest in them, leave that feature to borderlands where it makes sense
tbh cyberpunk does these things in the worst way imaginable, like i can't name a single gameplay related thing cyberpunk does right, especially those things you mentioned
All you sheep think you're so well-informed, listening to (blank). But me, I know what's really up, because I listen to (blank). And then the other person says the same thing back with slight alterations. Alternatively, we can think critically and check sources on all outlets of news, history, "facts", enlightenment, etc.
Hahaha as someone who just bought Cyberpunk in Jan 2023 thinking it might be better by now, only to find out it's better, but not by much, it still kinda sucks... So I fully endorse your comment and will watch the video in 240p for that full 2023 Cyberpunk 2077 experience 😀
Even bugs aside, this game was not what it was hyped up to be. The way they hyped it up made it seem like it was gonna be the ultimate game. I was always skeptical about it, because it's not like it would be the only game that was hyped into the heavens and beyond which turned out as a major letdown.
@@RaRmAn can you blame them? CDPR seemed like the one bright spot in the cesspit of modern AAA gaming. It's not like No Man's Sky, where Hello Games was unknown and unproven. The Witcher 3 and its dlcs are still some of the best games ever put out.
@@GeraltofRivia22 Yes in a way I can. This is business, there are no friends in that, it's all about money. They are supposed to sell a product, we are supposed to buy it, that's it. What they did was simple populism nothing more, behind that there is only one goal, money. As long as there are executives this will stay the same, and they won't disappear. Not to mention that some of us knew it would happen, if you know enough about how this stuff works you can easily spot fakes like the first demo, personally I knew they were lying since that demo was revealed. But was anyone listening? was anyone willing to consider they could be lying like others do? No we were blind haters. Well and then guess what, they were lying and people ended up scamed (game's state is even worse than it looks not even Anthem was this broken). So yes, I can blame them, but I'm not, studying history will teach you one thing, we as a species are really stupid, and we like to believe pretty words, because they are more pleasant than having doubts, this thing was ineviteable.
My favorite bits with this game is how heavily they marketed the idea of it being an RPG game and I think it was months or weeks from launch all social media for the game quietly changed it to "action adventure"
I remember following Fable 1 before it's release... so I know the exact feelings you describe. These things are nothing new, and the next generation is likely gonna fall for the next big thing.
I purposely put minimal attention into hype or anything about the game beforehand, just figured it’d probably be decent to good. Still disappointed. In fact the more I played the more depressed it made me over the lost potential, there’ll never be a better one with the same cool style, music, retro sci-fi nostalgia etc. The Cyberpunk IP itself will likely never get another video game before generational tastes change enough that nobody will care enough to even want it. Probably the last major game with a rock soundtrack. I wish I just never even played it.
I've modded mine a lot on pc and it's pretty fun now, lol. Lots of what I've added to my game should've just been baseline, though- Upgrading just increasing rarity, for instance, instead of adding like.. a few points of armour.
I remember the badass trailer they dropped back in like 2013 about how it would release "when it's ready" and then they stumble across the finish line 7 years later and vomit this mess onto the spectators.
Some of this game was so broken that I finally learned how to use the share button on the PS4- after owning one since launch- just to be able to save some of the glitches on my RU-vid account so my friends would believe how fucked up this game was. I described it like a mostly undercooked pizza; some parts of it are palatable and might even be really good. But other parts are just unfinished or totally cold, so it makes the process of eating it laughably bad. Also the person who made it should feel bad about giving it to someone.
I couldn't make it past like, the first firefight on PS4 cause the bullets just don't hit anything lol. I'm no fps god or anything but I know for a fact my aim is better than whatever was going on
@Jonehones i had my game crash 10 times and like 6 of those was just me driving normally. The car controls feel weird, the combat feels incomplete, enemy leveling well to me at least was kinda broken and etc. I beat the game out of boredom and i didn't enjoy it
It’s surprising people weren’t worried when they saw it was being made for the PS4 and how they were constantly adding new features trying to flex on the rest of the industry. Those are major red flags but they were ignored.
Don't forget their quote "run surprisingly well on last gen console" while only giving pc copies for reviews and not allowing them to use thier own footage was also a huge red flag, Cdpr just become like any other AAA company
I had no hype for this game, but I bought it on PC at release. I had minimal bugs, but the game was so lifeless and boring. I think I finished the story after 35 hours, and that included a lot of messing around and side missions. How do you go from the Witcher 3 to this?
"How do you go from Witcher 3 to this?" Easy, have a bunch of your best devs leave, replace them with a bunch of contractors who are not familiar with your platforms, put them on a super aggressive deadline and ignore them when they tell you there's no way it will be done on time! :D
I bought this on release. Played about 3 hours. Didn't get to see most of this, that was enough. The fact a year later it's still like this is astounding
A response to the Tom's Diner reference would be "And they built it only halfway, and before we even argue, they would put it on sale and give free DLC~"
So you telling me that I have to wait 40 years so this game can grow up, go to school, graduate from college and then gets a job, create a family just so I can finally play or some how enjoy this Thing???? Lmao yeah I guess Somehow someway it makes sense PERFECT sense 👌🤣👌
Depends on which systems do you think need fixing, AI for example can't be fixed without gutting the game and remaking almost every piece of content in it, which is so extensive it would be better to just kill it and release new game.
I'm a huge a fan of CFPR, was one of the 13 people who bought and beat The Witcher 1 in the west pre enhanced edition. I remember when X-play and Dragon Age message boards would dismiss it as the "weird fetish game with the porno cards" I never pre-ordered or bought Cyberpunk because it didn't look like something I wanted to play as I hate Borderlands style damage tick gunplay and am utterly sick of the Farcry/Ubisoft style open world. I was also concerned about them shifting to making something so completely different from anything else they'd made for literally their 4th game. I just hope the company can weather the PR nightmare that Cyberpunk was and come out better for it. In the past a darling company might release a flop and dust themselves off and come back with something great, in the age of the internet, which never forgives and never forgets, I'm worried for CDPR. Though if Hello Games can do it anyone can.
First Achievement in the game tells everybody who they are for buying and playing the game. Dev's just straight out call you fool for buying this game. Clever. True Cyberpunk experience getting scammed by corpos.
Man a good robocop open world robocop style police game shit would sell like hotcakes. Melted baddies and dismembering with ridiculous amounts of veinus bleeding amen.
"You don't buy Cyberpunk twice if you're good at math." -Oboe Shoes I am bad at math, that is why I bought it pre-order for both PC and PS4. That was the last ounce of trust I ever had for AAA games, no more pre-orders for me.
blinding/deafening the player is one of the worst sins a game can commit. completely stops the flow, and it's basically just doing what a real flashbang does instead of in a way that contributes to the gameplay as much as i love Halo 3 and FromSoft games, they do it and it sucks
I was extremely hyped for Cyberpunk. I actually believed all the BS CD projekt red was stating prior to launch. The Witcher 3 is one of my favorite games ever made. It's at the top of my list with the Mass Effect trilogy. I believed CDPR was actually a consumer friendly corporation lol, I guess I didn't even look at them as a corporation back then. I broke my rule of not preordering games for Cyberpunk. I think I first stopped preordering games way back after preordering FFXIII on the X360 and being disappointed. Then I pre-ordered a game once more years later with AC Odyssey. Although I played a decent number of hours, it was poorly optimized for PC on release which was annoying, and I ended up getting bored with the game and never finishing it. I'm guessing I played around 20 hours or a bit less. I really enjoyed AC Origins but Odyssey just seemed excessively drawn out. And it's obviously intentionally drawn out since right in your face in the menus is the ability to buy "time savers". Disgusting. I don't want that in my RPG games or any game. for that matter. Anyway, back to Cyberpunk, I was so convinced it would be amazing that I pre-ordered it without hesitation. I was really disappointed every time it got delayed, but by the time of the final delay I was fine with the delays because I thought it would mean the game was truly amazing on release lol. A couple nights before release I discovered that my Amazon preorder for PC would have to be sent to me. Despite it being a digital copy of the game I was being sent the digital code in the mail so it wouldn't even arrive until 2 days after release. For some reason they couldn't send it out 2 days before release? I remember some people got their copy for console like a week before it released though. So upon learning I wouldn't get to play immediately upon release I canceled my pre-order and by some miracle I discovered that by using a VPN connection to a different country I could pay $30 for Cyberpunk. Two days later, there I was, starting up what I'd spent the past year and a half thinking would be a life changing experience of a game. I only played around 3-4 hours. And I never refunded it. I could have and probably should have, but since so many people were refunding I wanted them to keep my money and put it towards fixing the game. I'm just now realizing how I never thought a year would go by and cyberpunk still wasn't great. I thought they'd have everything fixed up by last summer. I actually didn't encounter any bugs during my time playing on PC, and the performance was decent. I was impressed by the graphics. But disappointment quickly set in. I actually got depressed at how disappointed I was as I saw more and more news about the game. Then I just couldn't bring myself to play it anymore. At least not until it's patched to an acceptable state for me. And it's not there yet, the police originally were something that told me something was seriously wrong with the game. They still haven't actually fixed the police system. They've made changes to make it less noticeable how bad the system is. But that's it. I also found the combat unbearable. The constant overheating was extremely annoying, and the gunplay felt mediocre. I'm both a fan of fps games and RPGs, but even the RPG mechanics in cyberpunk seem super watered down. Hardly anything CDPR said was true, and that really was depressing. I hope to play through cyberpunk one day, maybe by the time the dlc comes out the base game will be closer to what I wanted from the game. I'm sure I'll have to add some mods as well.
I can relate, I purposely didn’t listen to any hype but couldn’t not notice CDPR had a good rep so I figured it’d at least be alright. The police system was the first thing that hit me too, you can’t patch something like that away, that’s just bad design. The more I played, the more I absolutely fell in love with what wasn’t broken. Which just eventually made me seriously depressed and I quit too. It felt like it would have been the perfect game I had forgotten I was waiting for, just soaked in a ghostly kind of nostalgic 90’s/early 00’s sci-fi energy I’d honestly forgotten about and feel like everything these days is lame compared to, I can’t put my finger on why, but playing it felt like I did growing up playing and watching sci-fi stuff, it has the same energy. I had a weird personal thing with the music tho, like at first I was disappointed it wasn’t all electronic. The rock was outright grating at first, I sort of hate rock now. Because I used to love rock, and it utterly died in the 2010’s, and anytime I was with my friends and they’d play music, I felt like an out of touch loser stuck with a previous generation’s taste like ppl I’d see growing up who couldn’t let go of 80’s fashion. So I moved on, and electronic genres are most of what I listen to now, what I expected in this game considering genre. Instead I got new, good rock that felt like what I use to think I’d be listening to in the future. And it was so well received I felt like I wasn’t a loser for not caring about Drake or being so hipster idk even the name of the song playing. It even got me to revisit some old stuff I’d essentially sworn off. But it all ultimately just made me more depressed because I might not be a loser for my music taste, taste I should accept and not put myself down for. But rock still isnt coming back, I’m 30 and not only will zoomers soon drive pop culture(not inherently bad, but I’m not a zoomer, so our tastes/nostalgia are different). This game felt like it was an unexpected last hurrah of a bygone era, like my boomer dad watching the Brady bunch reunion or something. There’ll never be another like it, with all of the same aesthetic components, pop culture is already so different it was already a risk for being dated to modern audiences. And they probably most literally could not have screwed it all up worse. Like, Jesus, I didn’t want any of this legit depressing af, self confrontational existential reflection, I thought I was just buying another at worst mid range quality game.
Jesus you people act like you went through Vietnam. You bought into marketing and were sold a shit product. Stop recanting your very mundane stories like you underwent some intense trauma lol. Just learn not to be so excited for a literal toy and realize that you too are susceptible to marketing. Also the next Witcher will probably suck.
I really enjoyed 2077 on PC at max settings. It obviously didn't live up to the hype, but it was still great IMO. The last gen console ports look BORKED though lol
I’m on last gen it works pretty good, sometimes you can get a graphics glitch or lag but the worse part right now is dialogue skips and little but subtitles help , all and all it’s pretty good I’ve enjoyed it a lot even if it’s goofy sometimes. Killer music
Some issues are gone, some new ones appeared, and if you are reffering to lack of things they lied about, well that literally can't be fixed at this point. (some smaller things can but most of it is too big to be patched). It's sad because at times it does feel like something good.
Kinda cool thing I found I got a sniper and burst pistol early in the game sniper from a roof and pistol from scaring a child trying to threaten me with it
This is the state of it after a year of CDPR finishing devel... uh, I mean, patching? Guess it's still more entertaining to just watch people poke fun at it instead of actually playing it.
@@thepenisgenius the lore wowed people back in the 70s when it was wrote. Most people were already well aware of Cyberpunk and it's universe or in the very least, Bladerunner. The story was good but I wouldn't say amazing. No one part of this game is amazing. But all the things tally up to a great experience at least
I love how CDPR just gave up trying to fix and optimize it and instead were just like "eh fuck it make it cheap for a week once or twice per year that'll work"
Either cdpr has paid commenters all over social media or a lot of humans are too stupid to deserve life, because there's actually posts saying the game is great after the fixes.
3:14 "Can we waste a decade?" Cyberpunk 2077 sold about 13.7 million games in 2020. Estimated playthrough time is 25 hours. If everyone played through, that's 39.000 years.
I really wanted to like this game 😑 but even without the plethora of issues, its not even a good RPG. The Witcher 3 had more customization and in that you play a scripted character!
Just picked Cyberpunk up 2 days ago in a January sale for 10 bucks, it's early days yet, but it doesn't seem half as bad as it was, it's still bad, just not half as bad
