what the fuck is cyberpunk

He probably feels the same way about Cyberpunk as I do about these forums. If so, more power to him. The less people are willing to keep bending over for these respective shits (buggy games or bugbeared fora), the better.

what do you mean?
im watching other peoples content on the game and laughing - im not making the content myself.
im also reporting news articles about the reality of whats going on with the cyberpunk situation.

if im opening your eyes or anyone elses to the reality of what cyberpunk is, that isn't me hating. thats just you getting offended.

i could care less about the game itself. i don't own it and i never will. what i care about is the principle. and in principle CDPR and cyberpunk is a drastic violation.

i think many gamers need to take a long hard look at this example (because its so explicit) so that we, as consumers, can hold accountable these developers and companies.

i've been vocal, not that people can't enjoy the game, but that ppl need to stop acting like drug addicts towards every empty promise of the marketing and hype.
Im sure there are some people out there where their favourite batman movie is Batman & Robin, but that doesn't make it a good movie. nor does it make them wrong for liking it.
my point is, i think all gamers should stop pre-ordering games. hell even stop buying them on release, based on reviews that come out BEFORE the game is released, especially in cyberpunks case where you could only use B footage and no console review copies were given (gee i wonder why).
don't just throw your money at these companies. have some willpower and wait a fucking week. if every gamer did that, zero companies would get away with this stuff....which they have been doing time and time again for decades.

this is exactly why the gaming industry is disgusting. the promises, the deliveries, disgusting. its exactly why CDPR got held up on a silver platter (until now), strictly because they didn't act like every other developer (until now).

if you don't want garbage, then stop paying for it. time and time again.

At this point its not about the game, you want the entire company to go under which is excessive.


'sides, if bugs were such a problem Bethesda would have disappeared a long time ago. After all they not only release buggy products, they expect the community to fix them.

Let me put it this way and this is not a subjective opinion but a fact: I've played for over 40 hours now and have not encountered a single gamebreaking bug or a crash. I managed to finish every quest and I go out of my way to do them. Only once I thought I could not complete a quest, the cyberpsycho one, because of a bug in my quest log. Eventually the last cyberpsycho appeared and I managed to finish it.

In fact, you can complete some quests in different ways. I finished a main quest by skipping a whole step (I did not go to a sex booth and instead snooped around and completed it without breaking it). Plenty of side quests have an optional objective which allows them to be finished in an alternative way (don't alert the enemies, don't kill a guy during a race, etc). None of them got bricked.

The game is completely playable on the PC, this is an objective fact. CDPR did not fail in this regard. There will be repercussions for consoles but Steam sales more than make up for them. Game is currently sitting at around 80% approval rating which is exactly the same as Fallout 4 and I don't expect it to dip because patches are coming.

ok those are facts about your subjective experience.
aka just because you haven't had a gamebreaking bug doesn't mean they don't exist. yes even on the PC.

in any case, the problems with the game run much deeper than just bugs that can get patched out. real reviews are starting to come out for the game now

you enjoyed the game. thats fine. im happy that you had a much better experience than many others

Surely if the game was unplayable I wouldn't be able to play it, no? Pretty sure at this point I'll be able to finish it without a single crash.

Reviews will only get better in the long run as it is the trend with every game that gets patched.

Like today, we got a patch that fixed the save size problem on the PC.

tell that to people who literally cannot play the game, or have refunded it. which has obviously been in the number of thousands for Sony to remove it from their store. the most hyped game in the last decade, AAA title, first one removed from Sony's store. (yes, including ps5)

i only had like 1 or 2 crashes in heist, but im not trying to convince anyone it wasn't a buggy sloppy release

funny enough i was just reading through metacritic reviews, and having a laugh at the reviews sounding like paid actors on 3am infomercials, and hours later i see this video.

just listen to the first 5 mins if you can't get through the whole thing. the first 5 minutes includes one review he reads out loud. its hilarious. its gotta be titled "Ode to Cyberpunk 2077"

There was some NPC chick near me the other day not really doing anything, and she got herself stuck in a T-pose somehow. I swiped at her with my katana and she started spinning as she walked, still in her T-pose. She bumped into some other NPC's who either started spinning, flew away, or both. One of them bumped into me, I started spinning, fell through the world, reappeared in the sky, and fell to my death right back where I started with the NPC's still spinning around me.

It was fucking weird heh.

I think now might finally be a good time to buy some CDPR stock. It seems to have stopped falling, and it is now actually lower than its value prior to when the Cyberpunk hype effect caused it to surge a couple months ago. Likely only gonna go up from here...
