Cyberpunk was unfairly derided by groupthink caused by the circumstances of its launch
All the sheeple who let social media narratives dictate their thought processes missed out on an amazing experience.
>game releases in an abhorrent state
>random crashes, shit performance, lots of pop in and npc glitches
>IT WAS LE UNJUSTIFIED HATE
I hate corporations so much
I never played the release version so it does not at all factor in my rating of the game.
I never engaged with any of the pre-launch marketing so it does not at all factor in my rating of the game.
>I never played the release version so it does not at all factor in my rating of the game.
A lot of people played the release version so it does factor in their rating of the game. And the release version was fricking garbage.
this. they knew they were releasing it in that, even went as far as to scan youtube and Ganker the day before fricking release for leaks showing the issues
This. I hate how modern people stopped treating companies like companies and somehow think companies are their friend
My twink boyfriend with a receding hairline, I love him
>you didn't purchase [[[product]]] (R) because you're a slave-minded sheep!
>show them you're a free thinker and purchase [[[product]]] (R)!
How about no
I played it on release. It was terrible. It's now merely just bad with all the patches.
It was announced in 2012. They had plenty of time to make a polished game in time for release. They failed.
This industry, this whole westacucked continent, is so brainwashed and buck broken that it's insanely easy to just memoryhole embarrassing shit done by corporations and just move on as if nothing happened. Nobody talks about the catastrophic Wticher 3 launch or its graphical downgrades. Nobody will talk about troonypunk 2069 being a literal scam.
Same how nobody is talking about Pfizer scandals anymore.
Doesnt she have a terminal disease like V
I played it and it sucked. Ran like shit too despite looking nothing special.
> All the sheeple who let social media narratives dictate their thought processes missed out on an amazing experience.
That’s cool and all, but the promises are still unfulfilled. Why do you and others keep forgetting this fact?
> Cyberpunk
>$0.65 has been deposited into your account.
I had no issues with cyberpunk, I played like 8 months after release and there weren't any crazy glitches at that point. Didn't have any performance issues but I have a really good videocard. Not sure why its an issue. Gameplay was fine.
>gameplay was fine
>t. from the trough
>I played like 8 months after release
maybe they should have released the game 8 months later then...
The bugs were the least of the game's concerns. The real problem was the fact that it was marketed as a Deus Ex immersive sim with RPG elements and cascading choices and ended up being kind of a linear moviegame.
It's a good moviegame, I liked the characters and the story, even wholesome chungus man was amazing as Johnny, but that's still not what people were shilled.
ive been playing it this week.
imo the character sound too edgy and empathetic. Ok I get that its a cyberpunk universe so the edgy part doesn't bother me that much, but they're supposed to be hardened sociopathic street thugs so why the frick do they care so much about each other, why does female V sounds so motherly towards the spanish friendly guy (forgot his name) and cries when he dies. why do they act like groupies when dexter deshaws (the fat nig) hires them
to me this is what breaks immersion the most. the streets are supposed to be cold and grim, everyone for themselves, doggy dog world. street thugs aren't supposed to care that much about people who are not blood related to them.
also frick keanu reeves
Jackie and V were supposed to have been buddies for months by that point and have gotten through many fun little adventures, but it's all just brushed off in the little opening montage so it falls flat. Which is super odd imo because the game does a better job making you connect with characters later on.
Plus, look, anon. It's not supposed to be a cold Sopranos tier crime drama. It's a silly videogame about people with fricking mantis blades coming out of their arms and one of the main characters is a cool rock star with a big dick who's also a badass commando reactionary who sticks it to the man and commits terrorism. It's a theme park.

yeah well i wouldn't mind if the game wasn't a fricking movie with long ass first person cutscenes
Have you considered that this game might just not be for you, anon?
Imo the cutscenes and the dialogue is the one thing this game has going for it. That and looking kinda pretty, I guess, but it's not the NEXT NEXT GEN SUPER REALISTIC game it was shilled as, either.
>doggy dog world
please kys
>groupthink caused by the circumstances of its launch
circumstances like delivering less than half the game they promised, presented and hyped up in promotional material, interviews and demo footage?
>have a i7-9700k, 64g ram, 2080s
>played through the entire game in the first two weeks of launch on PC
>some bugs, some slight performance issues but overall i didn't experience any bugs
6/10 imo
But then -
>buddy has a better machine with a 3080
>game constantly CTDs and won't go above 25 FPS regardless of settings
>other buddy tries to run it on a base PS4
>we all know how that went
I had a good enough time with the game, but to act like it was an abhorrently broken buggy nonsense piece of shit at launch is being disingenuous.
The game sucked and still sucks. Kys shill
I played it at launch with top notch hardware and had relatively few glitches and bugs, but that personal experience doesn't the countless scores of people who were literally unable to play the game even on consoles it released for. The launch was inexcusable and (deservedly) massively damaged their reputation.
Even if you ignore the horrible launch, it's just a mediocre open world shooter with colored weapons, perks that are mostly "+1% to dick damage", a few dialogue options and Keanu Reeves.
No, it was fair. Game to this game isn't finished.
Not really.
Console plebs and homosexuals that cannot go trough a few bugs are one thing.
Game being utter shit full of homosexualry is another.
Less didlos and transhomosexuals and more breasts and depth.
>the opening montage of the game was supposed to be the entire two acts
>jackie being killed was supposed to be the big act 2 twist/ending that lead to the ending with act3
>johnny silverhand wasn't a part of it at all beyond being mentioned in a couple of background news reports
>CDPR got Keanu on board somehow
>scrap the entire acts 1-2 of the game and turn it into a shitty montage
>haphazardly stitch together the rest of the story into a 3 act structure despite it only serving as the closing act originally
Game was doomed from the minute Keanu came aboard.
if legit, that explains a lot
I didn't give a shit about jackie dying. I wanted to grind rep from nothing.
the game's biggest fault was its just boring. even ignoring the bugs, ignoring the lack of actual content, ignoring the repetitive fights, ignoring the god awful class system. it was just boring as frick. the entire game was just what if you dont matter and nothing you do matters and nothing you ever did matters. cyber punk is supposed to be grim and doom but you find what you want and drive to get it. this was just doom porn combined with jerking keanu off.
It's still unverified but that was what a disgruntled ex employee that worked on the game claimed a few months after it launched.
Sauce?
You're going to have to find it yourself. I don't have random tweets from ex devs from 3 years ago bookmarked.
If you send Jackies' body to Vik then the ending part at least has a little impact.
This, hence the suicide option makes most sense to me. OC and Keanu are two eternally defeated fricks and the world benefits from their deaths
being killed was supposed to be the big act 2 twist/ending that lead to the ending with act3
You were meant to be able to save Jackie at one point
Yea gang raped to put it mildly frank
the game would be a lot better if they added proper driving ai and with that a police response that isnt just people spawning next to you.
nah, frick them, it was really pathetic how much they wanted to hide the actual gameplay, from making the 2019 E3 gameplay private at the last minute to agressively claiming every single video that got leaked, they knew what they were doing and deserved the shitshow
Someone must have blown out the part of your brain where you can hold memories because you don't remember all the issues at launch, or all the info coming out before game release.
>Cyberpunk was unfairly derided by grou-
ACK
Motherfrickers sold physical copies of the game day one and despite the actual evidences they still try to gaslight the players?
Thanks goodness for physical copies, man.
Thing is, a bunch of these bugs, like the despawning crowds, are still in the game. This game was coded by apes.
>amazing experience
I dunno about that, a lot of the systems were still pretty bad
I agree most people complaining about it never played it though, probably 99% of people on Ganker for sure
it's a cool game, but holy shit is it fricking buggy
>people are literally shilling games that took 2+ years to become playable at a very basic level with only a fraction of what was promised
You think that you'll end up with a No Man's Sky, but truth is you'll end up with an Anthem instead
True, just whiny manchild consolehomosexuals. Game was fine day 1 on pc.
good point OP
I'll pirate the current version and let you know what I think
just kidding I'm never going to play this shit
I played it at launch and found it very boring, but I also didn't really care for any of their other games.
No... NO!
CDPR has been extremely rude with interaction with fans. I am no room to give them the benefit of doubt. I will be playing game, I have around 2k hours in CP2077. But being ignored like this, in a stream... no, you guys have been extremely rude and I think that reflect on sales.
>release a completely different game to the one you've been advertising for 10 years
>it's generally just really shit to boot
>people are outraged
What's the problem?
>unfairly
Nope. The game was removed from digital storefronts because of how busted it was.
The backlash was deserved.
It was only removed from console platforms. Gonna be honest with you dude, consoles are shit. They perform poorly and never get any good games. I think it should have never been released for ps4.
The game's entire experience is removed from my personal memory, besides the best ending where the OC and Keanu mutually commit suicide. That genuinely redeemed the time I pissed onto 2077
yeah, but I loved the overall theme, trafficking, drug trade, weapons manufacturing. You can almost ignore the main plot and just enjoy the side content. Which is what I did.
What side content? You mean the missions. Not the "actual side content".
The missions are shit whether they're Story or Side missions. The gameplay is shit. I love the setting, and that's why I hate the game so much. The Night City in game is cardboard. It doesn't look like the putrid reality that Night City is.
The game deludes itself as Blade Runner.
It's more akin to a melodramatic Saints Row.
It was dreamed to be a full-engagement Transmetropolitan.
Or merely a video game of the Cyberpunk pen and paper game.
As is it barely scratches the Cyberpunk itch, it barely captures the vibe.
The real world provides more of a Cyberpunk 'feel' than the official video game falsely representing the setting.
All my criticisms would be alleviated if CDPR didn't feel it necessary to put the Cyberpunk IP into a stranglehold just to realize their mediocre vision.
If it was called FUTUREGHOST: 2077 or something apparently dumb as the plot or creative process behind the games contents itself I'd not be here b***hing to myself and you right now anon.
I spit on you, this game, and the nation of Poland
*commits suicide w the chosen one*
I would have loved a ending like the "(Don't fear) The reaper" one but in which you went with the intention to frick everything up using your life and Johnny's as collateral. The ending in which you stay in your body is just too fricking shit.
Eh, the shoot self in head ending was such a blindside that it actually relieved me of all the gunk I was feeling "playing" the """game""". It really torques my testes knowing anons call Max Payne 3 a movie but slobbered down CDPR's half-baked spew.
Nothing can redeem that the very experience of the game subject you to the plot of the chip in your head, and how that entire plot does not predate but justifies having Keanu Reeves on board. They should have made the games story the Netflix show, made the game a pen and paper realization. (As close to one any developer could get)
>NOOOO CONSOLECHUD, THE GAME ISN"T HECKING BAD IT"S YOU THAT IS THE PROBLEM
That's not really what happened.
What actually happened was the game came out on PS4 and absolutely did not work. CDPR was flooded with tweets and (supposedly) calls to their support lines saying to refund them, and CDPR said that players would have to go through Sony to deal with that.
So all those people then started hitting up sony support saying that CDPR said to get with Sony, and Sony said no, frick that, we're not dealing with a bunch of angry players and took the game down from the store to stop the madness then issued an automated, no questions asked refunds for anyone that bought the game digital.
So while it technically was because the game was broken, it wasn't until CDPR pissed off Sony by telling the fan base that it's Sonys problem to deal with that the game was removed from the store. Had CDPR never said that Sony has to deal with it the game probably would have never been taken off the store.
It sold 14 million copies in about 48 hours
Played it at launch. It was a mediocre turd, even without the bugs or performance issues.
Played it again after watching Edgerunners, and yep, still a mediocre turd.
You're right. It is time we individually deride it for its shit story and weak execution of its advertised concept. It will be irrelevant except for retrospective analysis one year after Starfield's release.
Three to five years after that you'll be able to prompt via AI a superior "Cyberpunk" game that's more Cyberpunk than 2077 and without a creative director who's bankrupt in that regard and can think only to advertise fully realized role-playing game in a provided elaborate setting yet making the whole time a 30hour Hardcore Henry movie staring Keanu Reeves as your personal hologhost.
Cyberpunk is the biggest negative creative turn-around in gaming. Promised everything and met with nothing I can't get from fricking NETFLIX
They lied in their marketing campaign for the public and did shit corporate practices to sell their ubsoft tier game that was also a unfinished umpolished clusterfrick, frick off, Black person. OP is a homosexual.
They deserve all their hate and no amount of patches will make the game be anything better than meh and it will never be what they advertised, thus they will never recieve a penny from me and if you spend money in it you are a coomsumer drone moron that likes to suck corporate wiener and eat shit
this game doesn't even have all of the promised shit after like what? 2 years?
cmon it's a fullpriced game and it was literally unplayable on launch. cdpr should shut the frick up
CDPR cashed their consumer trust in and then realized they gotta pay the stupid tax for it.
Consumer trust they shouldn't have had in the first place because Witcher 3 was also in a shit state during its launch.
I don't know if you realize this but CP2077 sold over 20 million copies as of a year ago.
This idea that they lost the gamers trust is completely and totally wrong. This site does not mirror reality.
>This idea that they lost the gamers trust
werent trying to imply that tho
Then what in the FRICK did you mean when you said
>CDPR cashed their consumer trust in
they baited people into preordering and hoped people wouldnt refund. Which is what happened. This doesnt imply that they lost it per se, just that they used their gamer trust bucks to earn themselves a nice paycheck.
Fair enough.
CDPR should get down on their knees and beg to Trigger for instantly flipping the public's opinion. I'm positive that the only reason for this "overhated" shit is solely because of the anime.
No, the game sucks dick. Which you know all about it.
>missed out
We can still play the game, anon.
>Promise laundry list of builds and customizations
>Prune it all to three back stories that all lead to street kid anyway
>Even with all cut content can’t stop T-posing
I say between promise and delivery it needed even more hate.
Shut the frick up.
The same exact thing is happening with FF16
>people mad because it didn't run on the console it was advertised for
vs
>people who imagined an entire super-game that was never shown and are STILL mad because they think the devs "promised" something they never did
I thought it was somewhere between a 7/10 or 8/10 depending on how much you like the story and that it was otherwise a relatively functional, fun follow up to TW3
I've bought it on sale and I've seen a couple bugs, like cars spawning halfway through ground, or a special effect not getting cleared out after a dialogue with Johnny.
I agree the game's a 7/10. Good visuals, atmosphere, decent gameplay, still leaves some options. But the hate absolutely is deserved, they aimed too high, promised too much and in the end, delivered not just too little but also broken stuff.
I completely agree with your post.
This is essentially also my sentiment towards the game.
>the circumstances of its launch
Yeah it was shit. That was the circumstance.
I don't reward companies that release unfinished games with my finished dollars
It reminded me of Fallout New Vegas with worse writing and even worse characters. Still a decent time.
It's less impressive than Fallout 4
>Fallout New Vegas with worse writing and even worse characters
bait
I like this game so much but I have no idea how to defend what I like. I guess I just have to except that I have shit taste in games. I'm like this with Egosoft too. Thousands hours.
Agreed but Witcher 3 is overrated as frick so it all balances out.
it seems pretty good now, no major bugs i've noticed and the game is actually really fun
but nobody can deny that the game at launch was a massive disaster. i've never seen a major release that buggy, not even in Bethesda games
Reminder to all the homosexuals ITT defending this heaving pile of shit, you support the shit state of the modern games industry and should never b***h about it. Also your taste is abysmal and I hope you all choke sucking CDPR’s wiener
Battlebit is awesome
Normalgays started conflating the quality of Edgerunners with the game so much that now even the devs have started to.
Never watched the anime.
Just liked the plot, aesthetics, music and themes of the game.
I saw part of the first episode, I don't like studio trigger, so I clicked out and never continued. I just like the game.
