The Rise, Fall, and Ongoing Redemption of CD Projekt 

That typo will haunt me for the rest of my life.

No worries, you will double check next time :)

Indeed. I've read Wiedźmin before the games came out.

CD Projekt Red are inexperienced amateurs and scammers now. No one will ever buy another CDPR game. CD Projekt Red will even go bankrupt soon because almost everyone refunded Cyberpunk.!!!

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE POEPLE IN THE BACK

RIGGGGGED!

In all seriousness I think folks may have upgraded their ratings once patches were released

Appreciate you!

Thanks!

Appreciate that! I’ve just got to get more videos out for the algo to start pushing these more.

Really appreciate that! When I posted it, I only had ~10 subscribers. So I can understand RU-vid not yet knowing how to promote a video from a new channel. That said, my latest video on the NFT collapse is by far my highest quality work... yet it didn't crack even 1,000 views. 🤷‍♂

It’s certainly a WIP. I’m liking what I’m seeing from them so far though.

I think the big factor here is them switching to Unreal engine. The issues with Cyberpunk were operational in nature (and can therby be fixed with a tweak of the tech stack), not issues with their ability to create compelling stories and a world that comes alive.

@@MrDenyven Completely agree

The music for the entire intro sequence, including 0:45, was produced by me. I didn't think to name any of it haha! 😁

Excuse me, Mr. Fire Nijja, This game came out in 2020, which was 3 years ago (it was technically late 2020, so even less), not 8 years ago. Please do not make me feel older than I actually am. Signed, Hansen :)

Thank you so much! I agree that a lot of takes were overblown for clicks. Most of those early reviews centered on the bugs rather than attempt to review the content itself. CDR absolutely nailed the writing and the aesthetic IMO, but I'd be lying if I said the overall experience bested that of The Witcher 3. I'm eager to see how the expansion pack turns out, but I think the true redemption is going to come from the next game in the franchise. My guess is that a lot of the legacy REDengine tech they've used just doesn't allow them to bring their vision to life the way they wanted. I imagine the switch to Unreal unlocks more possibilities for them. Management originally said they would release at least two expansions for CP77, but I think they're only opting for one now so they can get off their REDengine and start creation of a new title in the new engine ASAP.

I threw “Ongoing” in the title just for you.

Its a joke. No Redemption. CD Projekt Red are inexperienced amateurs and scammers now. No one will ever buy another CDPR game. CD Projekt Red will even go bankrupt soon because almost everyone refunded Cyberpunk.

Completely agree with you, I hadn't yet learned about proper audio levels when I made this. My newer videos are mixed much better. Thanks for watching!

The anime had a strong positive impact on the perception of the franchise. It brought in a lot of returning players who were pleasantly surprised by the game’s improved playability since launch. New players that came to the game were happy to be able to spend additional time exploring the dystopian universe portrayed in the show.

@@TheHansen01 I know they did, but I have seen the anime and I have played the game. The two have very little to do with each other. And you say improved playability? how a fixed path on fixer gigs does not make the game any better. Bugs have been solved on the consoles, but I would say what was released in 2020 is still largely the same. Too many missing features that were advertised in their marketing material. My point still stands. Why would a anime series change the viewpoint on the game... I mean it would be like a having a bad game at launch and the developer chooses to give people a cool t-shirt and now everything is fine. The anime has had no impact on the game beside the item from series. I would say people that are affected in this manner are complete morons or perhaps were just going with the fomo hate. The game is garbage at launch and it still needs a massive amount of work in the form of creating a better open world, better quest design, better itemization ( set armor would be nice), better interaction with factions, better quest progression, you know like the one where you go into the maelstrom factory.

@@NoName-jz8fe I think of "playability" from the technical sense, I'm not speaking to gameplay mechanics (which I agree are lacking vs. what was advertised before launch). But I think you're looking at this from a hyper-logical perspective instead of understanding the emotional appeal of the anime and how it could lead players (new and old) back into CP77. I think it's very unfair to say the anime and game have nothing to do with each other. The anime absolutely nailed the setting/universe as was presented in the game. They even used to the same animation/sound effects for the incoming calls, which I thought was a great touch to further link the show to the game.

Someone asked him about it during a press conference at a later date... he said he's bad at video games so he hasn't tried playing it haha.

@TheHansen01 thanks for informing me on this I will do some research

Never. CD Projekt Red are inexperienced amateurs and scammers now. No one will ever buy another CDPR game. CD Projekt Red will even go bankrupt soon because almost everyone refunded Cyberpunk.
