Cyberpunk 2077 - New RPG by CD PROJEKT RED

[TheDoldrums]

My copy from Amazon still hasn't arrived. It's at a discount from an E3 sale years ago so I'm still not sure if I'll refund despite just having a base ps4 right now. Kind of morbidly curious to experience the terror for myself

 

[Morbo]

Just one thing after another apparently lol

wow. welp, that seals it, I'm not even finishing the part that works in this game until we get some more patches.

Yeah I don't think I'll be getting this game. Possibly ever. Seriously, how in the f***?

It's worth noting that the default save sizes for these games on console is well over the 8 mb threshold. PS4/5 comes in at 12.58 mb and Xbox seems well over 30 mb since it's all just packed into a "reserved space" file.

So in other words, console players are probably screwed. Especially Xbox since we have no way to manually manage out files outside of the game itself.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I mean, my saved filed are at 44 mb and I’ve not had any issues. I’ve seen people with over 100 hours logged and no issues, so not sure what leads to a corrupted save file.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Found my first bug with significance possibly.

According to what i've read, that douchenozzle you have to beat in a fight in Ayorro as part of the Beat on the Brat quest line is supposed to give you like 24k (the 12k you put down + his) in cash and his rifle if you beat him. I beat him. resolved the quest and...no money. Though i did get his balling ass sniper rifle as promised.

Kind of annoying since now i'm out like 12k...though i didn't really have a lot to spend it on.

 

[Fandlauer]

I'm playing on a ps5 and this has been waaaaaay more buggy for me ever since the new patch. I now get a corrupted settings message every time I start it up, and enemy AI glitch and fly around far more than they did before it.

CD Projekt investors consider legal action over "misleading information" about Cyberpunk 2077 | GamesRadar+

CD Projekt investors unhappy at the performance of Cyberpunk 2077 are contemplating legal action.

On Friday, two prospective legal challenges came to light, one from Warsaw, Poland, and one from New York. As reported by the New York Times (thanks, VGC), Mikołaj Orzechowski - a Warsaw-based lawyer who has also invested in CD Projekt - announced a potential class-action suit

Hopefully they get this fixed quick, but peoples save files aren't even close to this limit unless they purposely used the debug menu to dupe a ton of items.

"Literally mind-blowing" is saying that the game is actually killing people who play it

 

[Unholy Diver]

I snagged a copy when best buy did a buy 2 get one free recently with AC Valhalla and Fenyx, got it for PS4 and I have a pro but I think I'll let it sit a few moths till I get a PS5

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

The base console performance is bad, but the ps4 pro and xbox one x isn't... what is the percentage of those trying to play it on the base console vs the pro and one x?

I'm loving the game on my ps4 pro.

I am on pro, and it is not fine! It is better than base! But still bug ridden!

Many agree that it is still bad on the pro, and even next gen!

I'm on a base Xbone, and it's ass. When it's not busy updating GB's of something, when it does run, it's a glitchy mess.

I literally laughed when, after I hacked a vending machine, one of the hostile NPCs went to check it out, but when they returned to their original starting point, they just slid over the ground, like they were moving on rails, like an mechanical tabletop hockey game player.

No one knows what the future will bring. Maybe that is how people will move around in 2077.

This has to be my number 1 disappointment in my gaming life. I knew not to trust early footage of games from other busts like, say, Watch Dogs. But I trusted CDPR. I felt I had no reason not to as they were the ones who made my favorite game of all time and just generally seemed to be one of the most gamer friendly dev teams out there. Really wanted to believe they could deliver on what they promised, and maybe they still can but as it's been said ad nauseum they should've delayed it longer. Glad I held off on pre-ordering. I really didn't have a strong reason to or anything but in hindsight it was the right (lack of a) move.

 

[Beau Knows]

I don't know why anyone would pre-order any game in the first place. They're digital, it's not like they're going to run out and even if you want a physical copy they're virtually always available unless it's some obscure game that might have a limited run. Unless they offer you a great deal, I just don't see the point. Even a game from a well regarded developer like CDPR is (was?) can end up being a bad game.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

I mean the thing holding back the game is the technical issues at this point, mostly on last gen consoles. Besides those - and some bad AI at times, this game is very good. This isn't like no man's sky/anthem/fo76/etc where besides the mass amount of technical issues, there was litterally nothing to the game. They shot themselves in the foot by not at least delaying last gen, and maybe giving a warning for the people on current gen about only playing an updated patch of last gen systems. I think they'll pull it together and maybe even offer the first expansion for free. But yea if you're on the fence, just wait unless you're on pc really.

RDR2 has it beat in all the categories they are hyping this piece of trash about.

This has to be the best "no preorders" cautionary tale.
My first major disappointment was Brink. Played it on PC after building a good gaming rig with a Radeon graphics card and the game was sooo broken. Took months to be playable and even then it was a mess. Also came from a very credible and respected developer in Splash Damage (Wolfenstein ET was great before it). Master Chief Collection is runner up, it took about a year to make that game run properly on MP.

Best buy gives a $10 reward certificate for a number of the big games if you preorder, so if I am sure that I am getting it I will preorder to get the 10 bucks off the next thing I purchase

I mean this is definitely not true but I doubt you've even played it. Gameplay in cyberpunk for example is definitely better than RDR2.

 

[Commander Clueless]

I'm not very far in the game yet, but so far it's been a pretty cool experience. Haven't experienced anything past minor, annoying-but-easily-ignorable glitches so far. We'll see how I feel if I hit a game breaker.

(I should add I'm on PC, although not a super powerful rig. Ryzen 3600/GTX 1660 Super)

Overall while the world is lacking many promised features (and feels far "emptier" than CDPR made it seem in promotional material as a result), there's an excellent core here in the main and side quests thus far.

While CDPR deserves a ton of flak for what they've done with this launch....once they iron out the issues that they should have had another half a year to iron out (at minimum), I think we'll have a real gem on our hands. Hopefully they do it without "pulling a 76" and putting in cash shops and/or DLC ahead of actually fixing the game.


If you're thinking of purchasing it for PC, I'd recommend you don't unless you are the type to play Early Access games.

It essentially has the shell of a very Early Access game, but the core of a finished one.


With Sony delisting the game, I'd hold off on consoles obviously.

"Literally mind-blowing" is saying that the game is actually killing people who play it

Nah, that would be "literally brain-blowing".

However, if you consider the seizure issues, it might be more on the nose than originally planned in the review....

I’m rightfully seeing a ton of flack for this games technical issues, but one thing I’m surprised I’m not seeing more complaints with is the fact that this game really isn’t the type of game they advertised it as at all. This game was promoted as a RPG, but I find it incredibly linear with very weak RPG elements that make this game ultimately just feel like a FPS (Fallout 4 to some extent had this problem as well).
