    I started playing cyberpunk about a month ago, and I’ve already completed two playthroughs of it (I’m on my third now). I had low expectations given what the launch had been like, but I was completely blown away at how great it was. While it’s definitely not perfect, it’s still one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. The combat is some of the most fun I’ve had in an rpg and the story left a big impact. The amount of post playthrough depression I had was huge because of just how good it all was.

      I really want more games to have combat like cyberpunk where movement is the main focus. games like skyrim and fallout, they were good because of the amazing stories and their very detailed and immersive worlds, but i want combat that feels good and looks cool.

      Exactly how I feel, I love Night City, it’s one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. The core gameplay is so fun and the story is very good with a lot of depth. Easy top 10 and maybe top 5 game ever for me.

      You're right, but it's more than that IMO. The game FEELS so alive which is so cool. Honnestly, I think even if the story sucked, if they fixed the bugs, and it had a world that felt this alive, it would have still been a great game! the story was just cake

      The basegame has a linear movie with short gameplay dynamics. I guess in 2020 they did it so to mask the game's problems like dead AI and bugs. Now that they fixed most of these issues, the basegame still has the foundations of 2020 so in the end it looks like a bizarre frankenstein. I honestly don't know what to think, but it could be worse I guess.

      The only modern AAA studio who not only get story writing right, but also its models, art style, cutscenes. But I'm still not over my initial expectations that were based on 3rd person cutscenes (which I still want for upcoming titles), a working public transportation and metro system, and how this would have tied into a living and breathing vertical city. Dogtown is the first district that delivers on the gritty Bladerunneresk feeling I expected from Cyberpunk. Still no metro though, still no update to the rest of the city to reshape it more in such a picture. So many areas of the city are cut content, planned at one point, but never completed. Not a single Megatower that is fully accessible (having Dredd as an example in mind). Overall, they would never have faced such a backslash (at least on PC) if it wasn't for their trailers. They put more money into their marketing campaign than game development. Marketing is completely unproductive, and as we witnessed, can never compensate for a poor product. There are still fans who aren't over the false promises, who won't forget this.

    The fact that CD could’ve just taken the money and ran after 7 years of hyping people up but they didn’t and continued trying to fix the game as much as they could, gives me some of the highest respect for a game development studio, no telling people that they should get used to not owning games they paid for, no trying to make the game based on microtransactions, no lies, just a very rough start, but they kept on going, mad props to them

      They literally couldn't without going out of business.
      If they left the way it was, who was going to buy their newer games and other endeavors?
      Outside of their other products, they really only have two games the world knows about as a whole. Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk. That's basically the only experience most gamers know them by. If they left Cyberpunk as it is, their future products would be failures.
      Saying this is some altruistic move is just silly when you know the consequences of doing otherwise.
      I'm sure if they had other blockbusters,they wouldn't have done half as much.

    I'm incredibly old for a gamer. I played Pong when it first appeared in arcades, graduating through Space Invaders and Asteroids into my first PC games, Quake and Doom. There have been a LOT of advances in my time... all leading up to the game experience I yearned and envisaged from the start... Cyberpunk 2077. I got through the initial release, with the aid of a decent, best specs I could afford pc, that got me through my first playthrough, with virtually none of the problems experienced by others, especially console players. After that first playthrough, I just put it away though, dipping in for a few hours when new patches came out, as there was literally nothing new to do, bar a few short side gigs.
    I picked it up again after 2.0 (but with a delay because I was kinda involved with Starfield)... with the same pc built for the initial release... and was blown away by the improvements. I got Phantom Liberty a couple of weeks ago, having built V back up close to the badass he was in my first playthrough, and am now totally engrossed in this digital masterpiece, without any mod enhancements, as I don't feel the need. Phantom Liberty and the vastly improved UI make it, without a doubt, the best gaming experience I've had in my life... and I'm 71

When the 2.0 patch came out with liberty phantom I jumped back in from the beginning. What an incredible experience, the story, the world the characters.. it is...I am gonna say it... a masterpiece. It's finally the game it should have been, the tragic launch meant that this essentially unfinished game ( at the time) didn't even do what it said on the tin, a potentially great game, that was unplayable. Cdprojekt knew they had something special beneath at the core of the game and kept at it, thankfully for us, they were able to make this game what it deserved to be. Bravo.

    I began my Cyberpunk journey all the way back during the holidays in December 2022, a couple months after the premiere of Edgerunners, recommendation from a friend of mine, and thanks to a holiday sale on the PS Store. However, I do remember being curious about the game in general during the leadup to launch back in 2020, but the only console I had that would've been able to play it was an Xbox One (and the og model going back to 2013), and considering how that initial launch went... you can probably make an understanding as to why I decided at the time to wait until I had the right hardware and thought that the time was finally right.
    When that time came, it was something that had my mind blown. Speaking as someone who doesn't primarily play many shooters yet loves a good story, Cyberpunk got me hooked near instantly. While not perfect, I immediately became a fan of the universe as a whole. The freedom of customizing my V to my liking, the freedom of making your own playstyle to handle the various gigs and fights you'll find yourself in all throughout Night City, to all the characters you end up meeting on your journey, it just clicked for me as someone who could relate to a couple of things that take place within that story. And when I eventually finished my first playthrough during July of 2023 (I started with the Streetkid route), I had known that Cyberpunk 2077 would be going in my list of all-time favorite games.
    Since then, with Phantom Liberty's release, Updates 2.0 and 2.1, and having only just finished going through Edgerunners a couple days ago, I'm looking forward to my return to the City of Dreams for my second playthrough (this time I'm gonna go Nomad since it's been a while, plus the whole reworks that Update 2.0 brought) beginning later in May. Looking very forward to seeing what comes next for not just the games but for the Cyberpunk universe as a whole. (looking forward to also starting the Witcher Trilogy soon too since I'm now excited to try CDPR's other games).
    Props to CDPR for choosing to actually fix the game, make changes and doing what they could to bring the game as a whole on better footing. It's certainly been a very long and rewarding story to follow through to the end.

    My second playthrough after all the updates was some of my favorite combat moments in gaming. They definitely nailed combat/movement. Narrative of base and dlc are both also excellent.

    • @matfax
      @matfax Рік тому +2

      Not sure if that was the right priority though, since combat was already acceptable and not essential for RPG immersion. Lack of verticality is the real issue in my experience. It lacks complexity, the feeling of a Mega city where you have to figure out how to get to a certain place, which transport to choose. The game only has cars, no flying shuttles, no metro, no busses, not even Delamains work outside of scripted scenes. The great thing about the Witcher was that transportation itself was an experience. Though horizontal, you had to take boats, Roach, find the right mountain passes, river crossings, entries into the town, etc. On the way, you could encounter friends or foes, find loot, or just enjoy the scenery while Roach automatically follows the road. Cyberpunk makes travel boring, unchallenging. A few elevators and that's it. Dogtown has a bit more verticality on foot, but that's not really the complex verticality you'd expect from the genre, from Brutalist architecture.

      @@xColton24 Thing is, as they migrate to Unreal Engine, most of the combat probably has to be reimplemented. Unlike assets, which only need to be optimized for the new engine. They could have improved the city building and basically reuse it in their sequels. But all game mechanics have to start at point 0. My guess is that they will have a different timeline for the successor, allowing them to add some modifications, improving the city at least to the level of attention to detail that Dogtown exhibits. But I'm afraid they are still cursed by their initial choice to go down the action adventure route. Having an excellent story doesn't make it a RPG. Sticking to this idea was probably the reason why they kept ignoring the community's demands for a working metro. There's a mod now but this mod can never deliver the immersion and integration into a complex vertical city. I'm afraid if they continue this route, including their upcoming Witcher title, we might not even get the RPG residues from the first half of Cyberpunk's development, from the Witcher 3 development team that has left the company during development and soon after release.

I think that's what Pondsmith would really want but I'm not sure how involved he is/will be. Hopefully they are inspired by the success of games like Baldur's Gate 3 and see the potential of a truly great RPG with other genres blended in.

    This debacle still cements into the importance of not buying the hype. As much as CDPR has made amends, their tarnished reputation has made a lot of folks wary of supporting them fully until they've proven to the gaming community they deserve to be placed back upon that pedestal as the gold standard developer they were.
    But I will give them their due at least for the effort in redeeming themselves.

      I’d also love a list of developers who make games that don’t have launch problems. The list is pretty small. Outside of Nintendo I can’t think of any cross platform game companies that consistently make great games that are pretty flawless at launch outside of a couple PS devs and FromSoftware. CDPR is a great developer and stayed with the game until it was fixed and pretty perfect now.

    Cyberpunk 2077 was my first pre-order because I loved the idea and believed it would be something unique. After release, I was disappointed, it took me three attempts to engage beyond the first mission before I uninstalled it with no hope. However, with the Phantom Liberty update, my third attempt left me completely blown away at how excellent it is, the most enjoyable RPG combat I've experienced with a story that got me completely hooked. I can't believe how much I can empathize with the characters, so much depth, something that left a big impact on me.

    • @thomgizziz
      @thomgizziz 10 місяців тому

      There is literally no difference story wise between release and now up until you get to the point where you can start the phantom liberty side mission. So you tried to start 3 times DOING THE EXACT SAME QUESTS and magically when people were crapping on the game you also thought it was bad but on the third time when everybody was now praising the game, suddenly you liked it. Yeah you aren't a sheep at all and you are independent and think for yourself.

While it is still one of the most immersive open worlds Cyberpunk 2077 has a heart that I haven't found in any other game. It is firmly IMO the best game I've ever played and almost every aspect of its final form is perfection. Hell, even the few remaining bugs have personality. I wouldn't change a thing at this point. The love of the people who crafted it...from Mike Pondsmith to the people doing the gamecase artwork really comes through in the final product, and to me that is what separates this from anything else available on the market.

    The game still incomplete to this day, the biggest issue is the lack of content and interactivity in the story.
