I guess even if Cyberpunk 2077 had a middling reception, it's one of those games that sold so well out of pure hype that it easily did well enough to justify a sequel. The question I have is if the game was received better, would they have stuck with it and made more DLC and content updates instead of just Phantom Liberty and that's it, like Witcher 3, or if this was the plan all along.
I don't know. But in the end, I'm glad I bought it at release time and then sat on it for a couple of years. It's one of the best gaming experiences I've had in a long time.
I don't trust CDPR to release a finished product like I used to, but I do trust them to do right by any mistakes made.
Even at launch it wasn't a bad game, just buggy as frick since they rushed it out too quickly to try and release it before Christmas which is a good time to sell video games.
investors wanted the game released
Exactly. Investors profit heavily when a big name game is released in December.
They had 8 years to release the game. Don't blame it on the evil investors
A game with as much content as they promised takes a lot longer than 8 years to make.
>would they have stuck with it and made more DLC and content updates
yeah, if they didnt waste time trying to get the game playable on garbage consoles, we would have gotten more content.
And ive been sayin this since launch, its not new, the game was always good on pc.
Reception here was very good, something usually reserved exclusives on a Japanese console. I felt so bad for that one guy spamming the same crappy webms in all twenty threads day after day.
have a nice day, polish Black person.
Aww, I'm sure somebody appreciated the webm spamming and that list of uh broken promises. Lmao.
Don't forget the Shazam posting lol
How could I forget. Good times.
These kind of threads are so fricking pathetic. You can't convince these threads are not paid shills or morons who bought it at release, hyped it for years and refused to acknowledge what a disaster it ended up becoming. The games not even in the top 8,000 on Steam in user reception. Develop better games and play better games. Nintendo, Capcom, Fromsoft and Rockstar shit all over CDPR.
The game is fun though. its one of those pieces of media that I like more the more I think about it as opposed to hating it more the more I think about it. I want to see what else can be done with the setting since the first outing wasn't perfect.
I mean this is a game from an existing setting, so it's not really a "first outing." There's plenty more you can check out already. But I agree that I'd like to see them attempt another game and see how they can improve.
RED Engine has too much inherited tech debt to keep pumping out content at that level of fidelity, they would have moved on after PL even if the launch was flawless, the tools are too far behind for ongoing dev at that scale to be economical versus a new project on better foundations.
do YOU even know what you're talking about. Care to give examples other than your ass?
They lost the majority of the devs who built it to western studios so they were just fricked. Best people to train new hires weren't there. We are entering into a ue5 only industry2
If it wasnt absolute garbage when release, they definitely would had given it the WItcher 3 treatment. But they already wasted YEARS just fixing the bugs.
A sequel is obvious though. Theres so much you can do with Cyberpunk universe, and after the mistake that was this first game they will definitely do better. Personally I still think that the story in the game was weak as frick considering how much you can do with Cyberpunk lore, but eh your average normie cant tell the difference from good writing to bad.
What will they actually call the sequel since Orion is obviously a code name?
Cyberpunk 2?
Cyberpunk 2077 2?
Cyberpunk 2078?
Cyberpunk: Last Light?
Probably a year 2078
