Yeah, nah. Not falling for it.
Look, cyberpunk ended up (after some years) being a good game, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever trust them again
I will wait to buy it a few years after release. Not getting burned this time around.
It’s going to be fun to watch 20 same looking NPCs with same looking clothes living their daily lives with schedules, again.
I’ll believe it when I see it this time.
This announcement changes everything! I’m gonna send them my money right now
Yeah i’ll believe that claim when i see it.
Sorry but the 2077 release had it’s consequences.
i need to buy a computer one day so i can play all these games everyone spends money on and hates
All I want to know is how I can secondarily profit on a bunch of rubes opening their wallets again.
Here we go again…
This is exactly what they said about the OG game and they even spoofed a gameplay trailer to lie about it.
Coming from the team behind the least realistic/reactive crowd system in any game to date
Yeah I don’t believe a single thing CDPR says anymore. I’m still waiting for them to release the patch that makes your decisions in Cyberpunk actually matter. Fool me once.
they didn’t really boast it as the title would imply. it’s a job posting so my take is that it’s more aspirational or setting a target.
patch that makes your decisions in Cyberpunk actually matter
I would like more consequences like the pickup mission where you have to think of actual factions but the game offers a lot of choice.
Most choice is gameplay and build related where you have multiple methods of completing an objective and many times you can go out of order. This is in stark contrast to gta which has better sandboxes but much less gameplay choice is missions.
Even still there are things like taking out Jotaro in the one gig affects the dialog with Woodman later, playing as corpo allows you to skip the infiltration for the arasaka float, judy or maiko for clouds, and the endings are all as powerful as they are varied. I would still say your choices matter as even your chosen sex affects romance options. Phantom liberty expansion elevate the gigs and choices a bit more. For example the sphere hunter gig where you infiltrate the ncpd headquarters adds a check at the end if you went lethal or not. If the main boss can’t detect their biomonitors then you can’t leave without a fight (though i also encountered a bug here).
For the sequel i definitely want more reacting NPCs more dynamic open world behavior vs map icon hunting, and more consequences that are also faction-based like maelstrom vs militech
There are a bunch of quests when your decisions really matter.
Lol, go on, yell me how decisions in the game do not matter. Before you start, be aware I have complete like seven or more full playthroughs just to explore all the things I could do, were it all real (so, excluding things like killing everyone or being a complete shit just for giggles)
But what I do want from them is an actual damn city. Walking through a megapolis chromed to the teeth and not being able to break into random house or apartment is damn frustrating
Ok
Seriously, why so much hate for this game. The game at the moment is pretty good.
It looks gorgeous, has an awesome story and a fun and versatile combat system. I am not too much into first person shooting games, but I am playing it right now and I am hooked. I think this game is easily in my top 5 if not 3 games of all time.
Cyberpunk is a fun game, but for me it is very shallow and I don’t like Johnny Silverhand, every second where he is on screen is pure annoyance. And yes, I know that he is supposed to be like that, but for me it just killed the fun.
I finished maybe 25% and then just stopped playing.
I don’t agree about the shallowness of the game. The Devs put incredible attention to details and the game offers a lot of context through shards, quests little snippets, dialogues, that are just unraveling the whole story.
And I don’t know for you but I can’t shake the feeling that today’s USA resembles more and more the dystopian reality of Night City. The whole corpo takeover of the government, the mass layoffs due to the rise of AI, the homelessness crisis, etc.
You will unravel more of Johnny’s history which explains to some extent why he is such a douchebag. You know like in real life, even the biggest douchebags have something good in them and life has turned them into one.
I don’t agree about the shallowness of the game.
Many mechanics have absolutely no depth to them. For example the apartments - no customization, not even a dialog line or animation from the clerk when you buy them.
They did put quite a bit of work into shards etc., but I’m not interested in those. I want the world to feel alive, like they promised, and it doesn’t.

Yeah, I had my fair share of douchebag interactions in real life, none of them were positive in any way, and I don’t want to play a douchebag (thats why I stopped playing Witcher 3) nor want I help a douchebag. And for sure I have no intention of giving a douchebag some redemption arc. Nobody has to be a douchebag, it is always a choice someone willingly makes and sorry but I have the scars on my body and soul to show that nothing in them can ever by good, if they had good in them they would not be douchebags.
Yeah maybe he will be a great mind parasite at the end, I don’t know because I have no reason to dig through hours of shit to find a tiny golden Johnny core. That is not what I see as fun .
He is annoying, but you do get used to it and he changes over the course of the story. At the end of the dlc, he is very different.
Also doing some gigs and side jobs makes you appreciate him more too.
Oh, at the end of the DLC? No, sorry but I will not buy a DLC for a game that I don’t even want to play the base version from.
I actually enjoyed the game too, I was just taking the piss because it was infamously underpolished at launch and the crowd system was part of it.
The development time really shows with the map; the city is phenomenal and super detailed. I don’t know if they had to rewrite the engine 7 times or what, because everything else was laughably buggy at launch. I played right when it launched but still had fun. I’m sure it’s way better now - i still need to finish the DLC
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
Yeah yeah
Fool me once
Uhh huh.
Yeeeeaaup
