It probably would have been easier to overlook that kind of stuff if it wasn't so janky throughout. I enjoyed the storylines and the acting.
Gaming Cyberpunk 2077 (PC, PS4/5, Xbox One)
- Thread starter DWelbz19
- Start date
I booted it up at the weekend to try again, and on PC it's full of people but still very much devoid of life (and anything to look at on the streets bar the same 4 vending machines and dumpsters). And the gameplay is as mediocre as ever, and I won't get started on the pitiful A.I that has barely changed despite the patch notes
It's clearly decent for some though, so worth an attempt on heavy sale!
So finished this last week. Completed all the missions, side missions and gigs. I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10. Enjoyable but not the game that was originally sold to the gaming public.
I never once consumed any food or drink nor did i use the crafting menu. Maxed out my street cred and character at the level cap.
Definitely needed another year or two in development. I think i got the best ending, though i did watch through the other 6 on YouTube. Hopefully the dlc whenever it arrives will be in size of Witcher 3 Blood and Wine DLC. Interesting that the protagonist for the dlc, "Songbird" was cut from the orginal game. I think they missed a trick by not taking a leaf out of GTAs book and having multiple protagonists with different views of how they interact with the city.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC is next-gen-only in 2023
I enjoyed it on PC and had minimal issues with a higher end spec PC. So I am game to get this eventually but not first day or anything.
Wonder if I'll ever play this again? I enjoyed what I did to an extent, but it feels seriously tainted now.
Platinum this game in February. It was a brilliant game, very rarely bugged like the release did. Can't wait for the DLC.
For those who've played it, does Cyberpunk delve into much philosophical subject matter at all?
I find that's a hallmark of good speculative sci-fi - and certainly the best aspect of its nearest contemporary, Deus Ex - but I've not heard much about it in CP2077.

No not really. Detriot:Become Human certainly does. Fantastic game that one. Asks alot of questions.
I didnt encounter any bugs either and found it really enjoyable.
Is this still getting a next gen reboot? Aside from the patches and all. Seeing the DLC being next gen & PC only seems a good sign
The game is very flawed but I would say it captures a feeling of what's it like to slowly lose yourself and your identity and to not have much time left, and how are you going to 'go' as it were. I did really like that element of the game and Keanu Reeves character.
Got to admit i was happy about that as well. The game obviously runs a hell of a lot better on PS5 than it did on the PS4 which was unforgivable in terms of the state it was released in.
Wish they'd just abandon it and move on at this stage. Technical issues aside the actual core gameplay and world weren't very well done, I wouldn't be very enticed to go back into it for a DLC at all. Certainly not like I was for The Witcher 3.
I'll probably give this a re-run after the DLC is out, really enjoyed it
To be fair, that's an extremely high bar and the best DLC I ever played. I just finished Ghost of Tsushima's DLC and it was ok, it was alright, it was fine...but I was just so damn spoilt by the WItcher 3 that almost every DLC sucks in comparison (Bloodborne's was pretty fecking good though)
I think it does do that, but not in as overt a way as Deus Ex. The story itself poses all kinds of sci-fi questions, but its more of a character centered narrative where individuals confront the philosophical quandaries in the context of their decisions, rather than say a narrative about rulers trying to determine the best way things should run. The various ending choices are a pretty good example of what I'm trying to get at.
I guess I'd say it engages what you're talking about, but from a micro perspective rather than the macro.
Yes, it's adds a lot of weight to the philosophy of making sure you squeeze the most out of your one and only life and not waste too much of it playing overhyped piles of vaccous dung.
Agree with you over what makes for good sci fi though. CP2077 ain't it. I waited till the patch was released, i figured I'd enjoy it but crikey ...
This. I didn't get it until the patch, thinking that would ensure a good playthrough. Impossible to have a good playthrough when the core of the game and the world itself is so dead and lifeless. Real wasted opportunity with this one.
Looks like we'll have to wait for Starfield for a (hopefully anyroad) good sci fi RPG.
I really loved this game. Played through 3 times on the trot trying to get different outcomes. Brilliant sci fi game / interactive movie.
Getting this bad boy today. Super excited as it's the game I most wanted to play on the PS5. Then PS plus came out so I held off. With a 10 day break between jobs it seemed like the perfect time.
Enjoy. It was fun hanging out with Keanu
Make sure its fully patched and you have the ps5 version. Sounds a stupid thing to say but disc is ps4 version. Ps5 free download in buried in one of the submenus aftwr the ps4 disc does its initia installation.
Its on sale on PS Store, guess he would probably be getting that.
How much is it?
INR 1499 ~ USD 19.99 approx (maybe)
Basically its 50% off on the Indian PS Store. Guessing it should be at a similar discount in other regions.
Thank you
Game is back to crashfest after the update on pc. Heard it is stable o ps5 though.
Really? You have to wonder what state the code is in when they are consistently patching things only to introduce more bugs.
Saw its half price. Is it worth getting on PS4?
I had 0 issues up until the recent patch, but it completely broke it for me. They've not responded at all, and got good publicity about the games state just a few weeks before the patch ruined it.
Veeery annoying. Won't be buying The Witcher 4 on release, that's for sure.
I haven't played it on PS4, but for the most part people say that last gen is the worst way to play the game, so I wouldn't recommend it.
Yeah I was thinking as much. I think I'll hold off. Will hopefully pick up a PS5 before Christmas and God of War and Last of Us will be the two games I play first. I'll stick to Elden Ring new game plus for now.
If this worth playing now? I got it when it came out on PS4, but have up after about 3 hours after hearing the horror stories and seeing their patch plans (I thought I'd wait till it was fixed) but I've never actually picked it back up.
It's it worth the time now?
It's it worth the time now?
No! Don't do it. Ps5 only. That way it won't blow up
This game is great on the ps5. Rarely any bugs I encountered on it.
Did a CD Projekt Red write this.
I platinumed the damn thing
. Only had 2 glitches while I replayed it since launch.I platinumed the damn thing
Is the world still barren? I saw like 4 NPCs outside of areas the missions took you to.
It's a bit better crowd wise. But still not nearly as promised. The police are kinda pointless. But other then that, it does seem like they've improved it a lot. But no where near what they told us. Really enjoyed the story again and the music is brilliant. Side missions are really good too. There's one of them that's creepy so I hope they continue that side mission in the DLC since it didn't end in the game. I should have used those arm blades at the start. They were fun to use.
Any news on DLC? I was hoping to jump into a second playthrough with the PS5 update and DLC drops.
