okay, after playing more cyberpunk some more impressions

+ Music in the game is LOVE
+ The dialogue is mostly a hit...some misses, and some cringeyness here and there...but overall quite nice
+ Environment Art is fantastic
+ Contextual narrative beats are nice
+ really like the story till yet


- hand to hand melee is a joke. Its laughably bad.
- AI is so dumb. NPC, Enemy, npcs in cars, all across the game.
One of the worst AI implementation in any recent game I have played. Infact, its like everything except for human intelligence went up in this world. and this is the biggest issue - it destroys the immersion in the world completely.
- Repetitive canned animations, everywhere eye can see.
- Spawning and Despawning is ridiculous. Its like you are living in a matrix Cars, humans and activity will literally despawn in front of your eyes.
- If you dont reply to a storyline based dialogue, the other character will keep on repeating the same line urging you to reply...like " I am waiting" or " lets move" over and over again.

is it me or half of night city is just empty? I mean sometimes i end up being in a location for a while and then it starts filling up slowly and sometimes it remains a ghost town no matter what..

Remember how excited people got over CDPR sharing the psn trophy ? Ooof. Really feel bad for people who wanted to play this on console.

Videogame Discourse: More Broken Than Cyberpunk (The Jimquisition)




Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out, which means people are unhappy, because that's how videogames work. We know the routine with massively hyped "AAA" videogames by now. Before the game is even out, it accrues a mass of fans who've already decided to love it and will attack anyone who disagrees.

Then the reviews come out, and all hell breaks loose. Between a stagnant games media, permissive industry, and violently zealous fans, videogame discussion is well and truly broken. As broken as Cyberpunk 2077, which - after all the controversy and hassle - launched as a complete bug fest!

It is....its empty except for few places...and I think that's in part due to spawning and despawning

Cyberpunk dropped to 87% on Opencritic and OC have added a warning label against playing the console version in an unprecedented move, citing the developer as intentionally misleading the players.

Since Opencritic combines reviews for all platforms, in cases such as these (and Arkham Knight on PC for instance), its best to let people know which versions to avoid at launch. Good on them for doing that. (y)

It's not a perfect solution but depends on the chat representative, plenty of people are successfully getting refunded for the broken game.

Sony and MS should just make a universal announcement to avoid bad CDPR PR falling on their shoulders.

The simple issue here is that CDPR didn't use base last gen consoles as, well, the baseline when developing the game. Other developers can also push for better visuals, but if they're targetting weaker platforms as well, they have a responsibility to deliver it in a playable state. CDPR was like, "Screw that! We'll scale from top to bottom, and hope that everything works." Well, tough luck, cuz it didn't lol.

This statement factually applies to the piss poor state of the last gen console versions, yes.

But then you see the bug ridden state of the PC version and imagine what went wrong there. It's not like there was a lack of development time, between numerous delays and well documented crunch. So this really shouldn't have come out looking like a rushed early access game.

Every day my decision to wait till the next-gen patch for the game comes out seems more and more apt. At least with other instances like Days Gone and Outer Worlds and even AC Valhalla, all games mentioned in this topic, they were not nearly this broken at launch and received further optimization patches within days, not weeks or months.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
