Xeno Reacts to Overpromise, Sell, Underdeliver Cyberpunk 2077 by Crowbcat 

Become what you must....become the greatest react andy.

Xeno is hitting up all the react Andy classics lol

Asmongold: on break. Xeno’s react content: My time has come.

I don't really feel bad for Keanu, he did his job, his character in the game was pretty good, and he had good chemistry with the audience too. The game's reputation didn't really destroy his. Keanu's gonna be fine! It's not like Vin Diesel and the actress whose name I forget, advertising that Fast and the Furious game, that was so bad. And (unfortunately?) that FnF game being bad didn't wreck their reputations either.

Not gonna lie I hate people saying oh I had no issues with the game on launch, well everyone else did and even without the issue the game is just a shooter within a hallow city, everything is surface level. It’s a worse GTA in almost all aspects of its world and barely an RPG which they marketed it as before launch

The problem with the games industry is quite simple, actually: games are too expensive to produce. In the past, the producers would make the game (or at least be like 80% of the way towards a complete game), then drop the trailers, then release with a complete game. Now, because of the upfront cost of producing a AAA, the corporations investing on the studios want proof that yhe game will sell _before_ investing large sums of money into it. So either you produce a game traditionally without any funding, or you promise your whole game to the audience before you know if you can even make it on the first place.

As much as I understand why game journalists get shit on all the time, I don't blame them too much for missing on Cyberpunk 2077 when CDPR did pretty much everything in their power to hide the true state of the game behind its marketing and extremely...curated hands on experiences.

Honestly I played the game on launch and I didnt have many issues with bugs. I had one gamebreaking bug where an NPC you had to kill to advance the story quest was glitched out in an elevator and I had to reload a save and that's it. Some minor graphical glitches maybe but nothing else stand out that i can remember. My issue was with the game itself. I expected more of a rags to riches story from the first trailers which I think they scrapped once they got Keanu on board and the whole story just felt off to me. It was just pretty generic and your choices had literally no impact on the story except unlocking one hidden ending through some dialogue options. My biggest gripe was with the body modifications tho. They made it seem like you could do some crazy cyborg shit and really customize your augments and in reality it was just some additional equipment slots with like 3-4 choices per slot... most of them didnt even change how your character looks

Cyberpunk 2077 isn't a tragedy but a comedy.

Zelda 64 had better AI, on release. In 1998... It's like KISS. (Keep it simple stupid).

React more!!! React harder bald strummer!!!

I was really disappointed with this game on so many levels... personally i didnt experience much of the bugs, but it was still a meh game at best, except for the music that i found pretty good. the story was incredibly short, so very little to do even in terms of sidequests, zero replayability, optimisation was horrid (while i dont have a big dick PC, current games ran better than this smh)

Cyberpunk 2077 is just jam packed with physical comedy. 4:44 7:30 18:55

even with the newest patch this game is STILL, after TWO YEARS, an absolute dumbster fire. funny how they were so cocky and arrogant about this game before release, they deserved this shit. yes cyberpunk sold well but the next game will be seen much more sceptically. my respect for this hack of a company is zero.

Shadow the hedgehog game had more branching story than this game.

Cyberpunk pretty much sums up modern AAA video games.

RPG stories are never to long, IF TOLD RIGHT

I just want to imagine the Developers while they were still making this like "Ahh shit this is gonna be too much"

To make the game as diverse and choices matter as they were making it out. They would need to give it 10 years max to truly flesh out the choices and another 5 to flush out bugs.

I pre-ordered this. It had some of the most epic bugs. I recorded one of my motorbike doing corkscrews. You had car statues (multiple cars piled up into a mountain), people sitting down with no chairs. T-poses on the back of motorbikes. All sorts of crazy shit. It was so immersion breaking it was untrue. This game was so extremely rushed. I get the sense they dropped what they were doing at some point just before signing up Keanu, and went a totally different way with the story. There are some really intricate areas of the map but they have no function (pulled content). Super disappointing. I have about 200 hours on the game. The most disappointing thing to me was that some of the fun elements were patched out. I.e. the respawning enemies. It was fun to loot farm a bit. I haven't been back in months, I briefly tried the last patch but, oh dear.

This just makes me sad man. All that promise and hype, and it turned out shit. Everything fucking sucks now.

Honestly I love the world models of cyberpunk and just walking around. Great job designers. Shame is a broken mess when I played it.

5:10 looks like it was a mob hit lol.

As someone who has seen a lot of stuff on the internets, I totally saw this coming from a mile. The game tried to do WAY too much, it just couldn't be good. Plus the marketing was very dodgy. Even now, a year later, I still don't think Cyberpunk is worth my time. I'll give it another year. Thanks for beta testing everyone!

I love Xenos reaction. After the initial anger I actually laughed a shitton about the bugs (the ones that werent just infuriating) and I'm glad I documented most of it, makes for good laughs rewatching it since lots of them got fixed.

The game has plenty of potential but investors pressured the game to be released. They were ready to pull the plug on CDPR. The game was fun though if you got passed the bugs. I got the best ending in the game. It was fun.

On the witcher topic, the thing is, day 1 witcher 3 does have quite a few bugs itself. Missing quest npcs, combat (hit reg and animation specifically) can be inconsistent and potions sometimes dont work. And before that, witcher 2 had bugs so bad, at one point, there was one bug that made it impossible to clear the game. You had to lower the game diff to get infinite stamina to bypass the bug and the devs themselves are not even the ones that fix it after iirc ( it was a modder and CDPR just put a note for everyone encountering the bug to fix it via the mod ). So I went into cyberpunk with the same amount of bug expectations. Thankfully, i was on pc and the pc version is pretty safe. Console players got absolutely cheated though. Also a lot of inexcusable things CDPR did, like removed content/mechanics that were promised or shown in trailer. Unfortunately though, even as of now, there are still issues that needs fixing and features to be added back in. But if you are on pc, it is worth playing through once. The only consolation out of it is CDPR at least has some integrity left to refund, unlike the bs bethesda pulled with FO76, so I look forward to them eventually fixing and putting things intended back in

Funny enough i played it on release and very rarely saw any of this happening to me and i finished the story back then.

When Cyberpunk 2077 was released I avoided social media to avoid spoilers and when I came out I was really disappointed how the game was received. I'll be honest... I was unbelievably lucky avoiding all the crazy glitches and bugs at release. But! If there was something funky that happened during my first couple of playthroughs, it was so minor or I was just too distracted by whatever cool shit was happening at the time I didn't even notice. And I think the game has only gotten better since then with updates and a flourishing modding community. (At least on PC.)

Bought this, it was alright, it's really not that bad on PC. it's really that meh that I finished it once and never touch it again. maybe in 10 years.

I ran into a frequent bug where the foliage spawned in the foreground, with its size adjusted to how far away it was. So you'd be in a car, having a serious conversation with someone, and you'd watch a tiny bush float across their forehead. Also, frequently when driving a vehicle, if you went into 3rd person view you'd see your character T pose standing on top of the vehicle without pants. Didn't matter if you had pants equipped, you'd see your character pantsless with fully modeled genitals.

People still do the whole console vs pc thing? I thought most get over that phase once you exit middle school.

The game fell off quickly when they literally kill Jackie in the Intro Mission...

This all could have been solved if the marketing team and company heads set realistic deadlines instead of an insane deadline that no company, ever, would be able to meet for a game of such scale. But this is what happens when actual game dev's are pass over for leadership, and the marketing team get all the leadership promotions. This game was released 3 years too early. Building an engine from scratch alone would have taken them 5 or more years, and they had 8, and still didn't have a proper engine. It would have been better if they stuck to the original plan of using the Witcher 3 engine and making it a third person game. Too bad the heads fucked everyone over and forced them to make a new engine by making it third person.

This fella just started showing up in my suggested videos.. and here we are I guess. Fun revisiting these trash fires like cyberpunk

Would be perfect Time to play it, if you haven´t already :)

Of course this game was dead on release. It dropped right between Promise and DRS

In my opinion, the whole story of CP 2077 with Johnny Silverhand should have been an expansion, while the story in the basegame should've focused more on the main protagonist V and his establishment in the new IP.

you you must understand that most of the hype of 2077 is because its from CD Projekt red, the one that gave us arguably one of the best RPG of all time, you cant fault people for expecting a lot in these game. thats why the aftermath of the shit release is that strong, people are really disappointed, its not like Bethesda who is known to have shit release main reason why the backlash with FO76 isnt as severe as Cyberpunk.

great, now im watching two bald react andy's streams

I don't know.. it wasn't even just the bugs for me. The game itself was just not that good. Uninteresting characters. The city itself absolutely does NOT feel alive. The loot and rpg elements are so weak. Crafting is useless. The implants and that entire system is shallow and adds nothing. Even the quests are just boring and bad. It was a complete failure. The best part of the entire game is Keanu and they wasted his talent in the way he was used. Just everything from the top down in this game is a disappointment. It isn't just the bugs.

Huh, this beard man is pretty cool.

So glad I didn’t buy this shitty game.

Honestly its wasnt that bad, personally didnt really see that many bugs at all. It just wasn't special nothing that new or gamechanging. It was fine just not memorable at all, the world was pretty lifeless. gave it like a 6 or 7 out of 10

I know the game had issues for a lot of people. I played on an awesome PC, headset, dark room, you can say that city is hollow or whatever but I've never been so immersed before. Driving away from NC in the first ending I got, just emotional.

I do get mad when developers just jump to the next gen, abandoning the previous one even before it's fully dead, just because it's less work to make one version. It's like Square with FF7, they prefer to release DLC for the next gen only because they don't want to make a version with the toned down textures for PS4, which is a very good looking game. Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon Zero Dawn are just the proof that a game can be not only good and open world in the previous generation, but it will put a lot of mid-range PC's in the floor because they were very well done for the platforms. If you want to make a game for two generations, you need to ensure the quality for both of them. In this game specifically they only ensured a little quality on high end PC's, and that's that. The shit was so bad that Sony removed the game from PS Store.

It should never have been released on the old consoles. All the resources that went into trying to make it playable on those could have been used to improve the game on PC and current gen.

coming from an African country where all these games either came out really late after global release or were too expensive for anybody to buy, I finally experience the hype of the huge AAA release for my first time with this game. It was really fun and It was the first game i ever preordered. I watched Shroud playing early and was waiting for my PS4 countdown even checking online which hour it would come out in the country I am now. It was an experience of bugs. I have never seen a game this buggy. Even the gameplay 1st person shooter wasn't fun at all. I did play many 1st person shooter but the gun fights were the thing i was never looking forward to unless it was a big story boss. The music, the story and the characters were all top tier for me but the gameplay and bugs were so bad they evened it out with how good the others were. I did play 3 times will the 3 storylines and I enjoyed it but really wished it came out finished.

it’s absolutely fine now on PS5! I play basically half, half each day- 8hrs on CP2077 & 8hrs on FFXIV & yes, I have a day job too- I don’t sleep..

4:45 That's some Class S cartoon stuff lol. Now i just waiting for a Car, Paino or Anvil dropping on somebody for no reason lol. Edit: 7:24 So close lol. Along with the music playing made that car flying more funny to me lol.

Xeno is quickly becoming one of favorite react strummers

That game was such a failure, it could have been good had it released in a good state. It’s not even fixed yet and the mods are lacking

Please react to the 18th Amendment! The government is coming for our alcohol and people need to know!

"Crunchy" is an actual pen and paper RPG term, which would be appropriate for Cyberpunk 2077. Crunch = Mechanics and Systems Fluff = Lore, Characters and Story A "Crunchy" RPG is one that is extremely dense with mechanics and interacting systems. Baldur's Gate 3 is a good example of this. It's very mechanically dense with lots of interactions and statistics to keep track of. A "Fluffy" game would be like, and I hate to say this, Warhammer 40k. It's mechanically simple, but it has a lot of great supporting story and lore to make it appealing.

So here's the thing... I never, EVER ran into any of the issues in the video.

0:55 this is actually EVERYTHING cdpr was saying up until the e2 2019 lead up actually , if you go back there's evidence they use to call cyberpunk 2077 "The next generation rpg of the dark future " for some reason right in may 2019 they went "the next generation open world action game of the dark future "

Personally I played on Ps4 on release day and yeah it was buggy in a silly sorta way, but nothing that ruined the experience except for 1 gamebreaker that was resolved by simply reloading last autosave. Day 1 patch also fixed a plethora of the issues I encountered. When I picked it up again on PC later, after edgerunners gave me the itch to play again, the worst I've had is an occasional T-pose at the start of a cutscene.

Biggest betrayal. Brought Wither 1,2,3 on all consoles steam AND GOG cause of love for them. This? Was aweful. 9th biggest betreyal? Yeongea. Throwing out hype, pushing hype andddddd.... It all turning out to be BS. Why I can't trust him ever again. "If you don't beleive me play the witcher." Not the witcher 3, though... He didn't say that. So it can count as the witcher 1 and 2.

To be perfectly honest, all signs of CDPR not being as hot as players hype them were around since ther introduction of witcher 1 (Remember the patches trimming save file sizes like 75% and load times by good 80%? It definitely would help quite a bit during the development, you know. Beta testers and all that?). Then we had witcher 2 which was a beautiful game… except everyone's eyes looked dead and whole picture gave strong 2004ish feel to model decisions, causing everyone and everything to look like microwaved versions of themselves. And then game wasn't fun between Geralt moving as if he wore concrete shoes, unresponsive swordplay, unrefined thrown weapon mechanics (Which barely changed in W3 by the way, with both bombs and crossbow play being shit on the stick), strange pallete decisions forcing you to use amulet all the time to simply see your loot. Except it's got cooldown for no reason. And stops you dead in the tracks, killing the flow. Even when you see the loot and needed objects, you are tortured. Want to loot that sack? I'm sorry, but there is a torch in the area and thus you put out fire instead. Oh, you are trying to do it again? Guess I'll just have to ignite it! And god forbid if you find a sack next to both torch AND the ladder, preferably the very long one and with enemy seeing you as you climb, locking out the ability to interact with many objects.

even now on pc if you finish a mission faster then the ai keeps up characters will get stuck............ this type of basic shit like checking if a character is stuck was not done....... if(distance to player > 100) timer++ if(timer == 2 minutes) teleport character to player. that is litterly all the code they would have needed so its not excusable.

Sadly PS4 and the old Legacy version was a last minute edition by Sony to the systems they'd be making this and I think its the general consensus that this is what made all the delays and diverting the focus/power from PC and next gen :/ You can even check the development and PS4 was one of the last added to the list (and needed the MOST work to even work). Its a mix of greed, overconfidence and simply thinking they can do all that. I think this game is another on the list of "dong fall for the overhype and NEVER preorder" deal ^^;

The biggest issue that I have with Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t even all the performance issues and bugs but the flat out lying about what the game is and isn’t by it’s marketing as well as not showing off the ACTUAL game on console before release. So just know that just like with movies if you don’t see reviews group about a week before release then that’s a HUGE red flag and you should probably not be preordering this game.

Lmaoo fr I can't believe people expected a good game 😂😂🤪🤪. This game is epic I mean look how the police system in the game dose not work! Look at the many glitches! Why are yall complaining?! This is amazing! 😂😂 💀💀😂

It's not fine on PC. There are still asset streaming issues. Placeholder AI and police systems. Every car on the road is on rails. There is no NPC driving AI at all in the game. Broken SSR and a buggy built in TAA implementation. There is still no water physics in the game. There is still zero openworld interactivity. NPC's and cars still vanish from the game when you look away for more than a second or are swapped with a different model. Firing a gun in a crowd immediately deletes every NPC within render distance if you look away for even a millisecond. Outside of the first 4 hours and a single quest, the story is still linear and on the rails. I could go on and on. But the fact is the blatant bugs are fixed on PC. The issues remaining are design choices and dev incompetence. Their last stream was them crying to their fanbase about how hard it is to patch their own game while in the same stream there were instances of missing assets, glitched animations and everything else I mentioned previously, which they quickly panned the camera away from every time it occurred.

After so many months have pass. I kinda think why it so shitty at launch. Maybe they overestimate the performance of console. Maybe lack of direction from above? There is evidence in how the game work. The way AI walk paths not fit the map. Show that before version we received at launch they fix mal layout but they didn't change both human and car ai path.

ah yes another game made by people that do not play games... We wanna make it feel ReAL... Thanks for the traffic jam my ass is tryna Not See by playing video games xD

What really sucks the most is that after they fixed it about 1 1/2 years after launch it’s an amazing game. Had the game launched in that state to begin with, it would have been the next Witcher3

By far the biggest dissapointment for me is how the open world is worse than GTA fucking 3s. Followed by the non-branching storyline.

I played it on launch on the PC, it was pretty buggy for me, and 30 hours in to the game, my game file got corrupted, so had to start over...I never finished this game. It was too broken and just boring AF...

tbf the Witcher 3 main story was too long and it was ass. The story builds up so slowly with intrigue but it does start to drag a hell of a lot and it is let down by a cliche "Ciri is the chosen one with special blood we must protect her" moment. The alternate endings narratively are good just wish we had more cutscenes for them. Overall I do think the Witcher 3 has a really bad main story and it drags way to long for the story it is trying to tell. The side quests have great stories and the gameplay makes up for it

The biggest problem was that witcher 3 was nothing like cyberpunk 2077. It was too much of a jump. PC is still shitty imo.

The comparisons to older games are what really shows where this game is lacking. There is not even an ounce of attention to detail. Games which came out on consoles older than the ones Cyberpunk did look better, play better and are technically lightyears ahead of whatever CDPR shat out.

If time has proven anything it is that console game promotion events build hype and devs lie because they are not even close to the deadline they have been given, Who kills games Sony and Microsoft`s unreasonable deadlines do to push as launch titles you end up with half a game.

yeah 1.0 cyberpunk was something else I think the reason I didn't complain as much about these bugs was cause I was to busy laughing at them xd

This video was so... sad! I had to laugh as well, but not because it was funny. Great so see Cyberpunk actually got fixed!

I blame the fans and company. They should’ve refunded everyone money that pre-ordered the game and said they are not ready. And I blame the fans for keep pressuring the company to release the game they weren’t ready for.

just saying this game is not that bad. initial release ooooh yah it was an arkham knight levels of bad. however they have been fixing it and releasing free stuff for the game. even after the intial release they fixed a lot of issues for pc in the first week. the real truth is they should have been honest about the xbox one and ps4 and said nah fuck them consoles new gen only

I played this game after all the fixes I guess, because I didn't see any bugs. Not only is it a great game, it might be on my top 10 of games to play.

Witcher 3 released long enough ago now that people forget that it was also a buggy ass mess when it released. Also it didn't nearly get as much press as Cyberpunk.

This game was scuffed more than the bottoms of a pair of JNCOs.

High expectation? This game isn't even working, Sure it look fun but trust me it won't be that funny when you play it.

I loved this game and had a blast playing it. Feel bad for people on base consoles that couldn't have run it. It would have cost a lot of money, but they should have just said it wasn't optimized for basic consoles. Even on a PS4 pro it was pretty decent. Regular PS4 was a disaster.

people being upset on the car coming to a quick stop when jumping out is a bit of a reach due to alot of them being super high tech, of course i do not own the game so idk id theyre all like that....

It's hilarious to see people in Chat say " it's only on Console bad" and "console Kekw" when you see the Mouse and Keyboard Icons in the corner

I was so glad I cancelled my cyberpunk preorder for the $200 CE . I was getting a bad feeling for awhile. Imagine what people would be playing if they didn't delay

Sorry Xeems, gave you a dislike because this video is unwatchable, 12mins in and got 5 ads.

33:44 people actually complaint Witcher 3 being too long ? I was actually sad when I finished the game lmao

its like the aqua teen hunger force of video games everything is so unpredictable and unstable and everything likes to be random and randomly explode lol

CP2077 is when people found out that CDPR is just another video game company.

Ngl with all the bugs it'd make a great game about the Matrix breaking down

wait wait wait, xeno doesn't know what an tabletop rpg is and what make it so special compared to an videogame ?????

people who said "not on pc" are delutional. i experienced the first mission missing the whole hotel room.

Those 5 month pre release 'reviewers' must have been paid so much to spew that BS about how awesome this game was.

This was the game that ended pre order because if you do you will be seen as a mug the most cringe worthy presentation ever

You know is bad when the video is 40 mins of bugs . it fights fallout 47 for the spotlight

Fuckin hell CP77 on Ps4 was one of the worse experiences ive ever had in gaming.

I'm glad I got it for free with my Xbox Gamepass, cause it's still a hot mess.

Here from the Phantom Liberty future when the game is really good :)

I didn’t buy it because it was first person as well. I get motion sick. 🤢

My man said Jncos and took me back to 2005 with the chains and studded wristbands
