To be fair Andrzej Sapkowski (you have a typo there) was well known and established Fantasy author in Poland and Eastern Europe before CD Projekt was a thing :)
This is the thing about Cyberpunk... everybody always focuses on the bug ridden launch state of the game, but the real travesty is that alot of the fundimental systems and mechanics were just place holder-type slap-in's to get the game out the door. You can eventually iron out bugs, and a game can be fine, but when the skill system, reputation system and gear systems aren't up to snuff then you end up with a shallow rpg. You can go around an open world, shoot stuff and experience a good story, but you cant be a good rpg when the basics are so flawed, lackluster or shallow.
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.!!!
I’m getting in before your channel blows up. My hot take is cyberpunk 2077 was not “unplayable” the UA-cam commentariat loves over the top language. It’s either a 1 or a 10. I played the game at release twice through on my trusty old Xbox One. It was a little rough but I still loved it. Hearing how big of fans the guys were makes sense cause everything aside from performance and some cut content is fabulous. The world, music, characters, look. They nailed it. Im seeing a little right now but once phantom liberty hits, i expect a big 2077 redemption. Should it have been working properly in 2020, of course and its too bad because the experience underneath is so good
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.
Really appreciate that! When I posted it, I only had ~10 subscribers. So I can understand UA-cam 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. 🤷♂
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.

I also tried this game on different platforms. First it was the pirated version on PC, next was on the xbox one s on gamepass, this time I thought maybe there was something wrong with me and it hasn’t clicked on me yet, so I went ahead and spent $10 on the goty edition which I regret so much now on the ps4, then when the next gen came out i gave it one final try and this was the furthest i ever gotten and it was still the doodoo trash that it was 8 years ago. But hey atleast the loading times are faster and not 10 hours
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 :)
13:00 clips just confirms my bias that some youtube reviewers are little children. People just have to come to grips that games aren't small things anymore, but are large complex applications. So you just have to resist the fomo urge to be the first one to buy it, because more often than not you are not playing the 1.0 version but the 0.9 version. In IT we have this rule when using 3rd party software: if you are going to use a new release, use the X.1 version, because more often than not the cutting edge features still draw blood. So wait a little bit: wait till it's on sale on steam and buy then. I did that with what everyone considered a buggy mess, Assassins Creed Unity, bought it for 20 euro: it was a good game, no bugs to speak of.
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.
May I give you a wee small bit of constructive criticism? It's not much, but you may want to balance your audio a bit better, the music sometimes drowns you ou.
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!
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.

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.
I’m still mad on how this game won over Bloodborne, which is something everyone needs to play if they own a PlayStation.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE POEPLE IN THE BACK
Great video! Keep up the good work 👍👍 Also enjoyed your video on jungle beats in gaming
Bro this video was so good for a tiny channel I watched the ads and didn't even look away
Appreciate you!
How does Cyberpunk have an 86 on Metacritic since launch?????
RIGGGGGED!
In all seriousness I think folks may have upgraded their ratings once patches were released

Finally someone to tell the story right, I am looking forward to your next releases.
This has good quality, I'm not sure why it doesn't have more views.

This video is too good for only 1k views
Appreciate that! I’ve just got to get more videos out for the algo to start pushing these more.
This aint really a redemtion unless if they dont disapoint with the witcher 4 then its a redemtion somewhat
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

Redemption ? What Redemption ?
I threw “Ongoing” in the title just for you.
Its a joke. No Redemption.

0:45 what song is this?
The music for the entire intro sequence, including 0:45, was produced by me. I didn't think to name any of it haha! 😁
"unable to run on last-gen consoles" is technically misinformation. I played for 250 hours on a 7 year-old Xbox One at launch.
Only 6 games released? I think I see part of the problem.
I still don't get why anime should change the viewpoint on the game.
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.

The fact Poland gave Obama the Witcher 3 which means did Obama sell it or kept it and played it
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
I sure hope they can pull them selves back from the clutches of failure with that Cyberpunk garbage!
