Is the game worth it now ?
I played it before 2.0, skipped the RPG stuff and played it like GTA. I had fun.
I torrented it and thought it was alright, but i'll never buy it because they don't deserve money for the shit they pulled
>BUT IT'S FIXED!
no it isn't, even if it was, it still wasn't the game they said they were going to make when they revealed it 7 years too early
Yes, it's a really good game. 2.0 (2.1 now) fixed lots of the jank that was a major complaint for most people, I would say no reason not to play it anymore. And get the expansion too, it's kino.
I think the expansions is overrated. I have rated the base game at 8.5/10, but I felt the whole of dogtown was kinda meh, not to mention horribly badly optimized, my fps was easily over 60fps with max setting pretty much everywhere, but driving into dogtown brought it to a crawling 20fps. It was luckily better when away from the sapphire/stadium/heavy hearts. Also Reed and Songbird are just badly written. I wanted to coldy logically scold both for being the morons they are pretty much from the start because they acted like morons, but you can only act like an overly-emotional moron or as a yes-man. I had zero emotion for songbird who was obviously a desperate manipulative b***h, but pretty much all your dialogue choices make you simp for her in some way or another. It's baffling, I wanted my V to be a professional, not a thick moron or an emotional child. Also 2.0 improved the base game so much any additions from the DLC felt unnecessary. I didn't like any of the new (DLC-only) gear. Some of the cars were cool, but not a reason to get the dlc.
Base game: 8.5/10 for an Action Adventure Game (6/10 for an rpg)
Phantom Liberty: 6/10.
p.s. for some reason my skin crawled with Jago. I absolutely hated the character and his/(her?) voice acting might be the worst in the game.
Also the sniping section was incredibly forced. I also hated how little they end up building bargest and their leader apart from being a vague obstacle to overcome.
>i dont seem to like the cyberpunk universe that much
Answered your own question.
It is.
It's mid but if you're expecting witcher 3 or anything remotely similar get ready for disappointment. Witcher 3 is fricking leagues above cyberpunk
No. Play the cyberpunk rpg that Cyberpunk never was instead.
I loved deus ex mankind divided
Yeah get the ultimate edition
Are they finished yet?
Got it and played after 2.0. It's not great. The main story is alright and engaging enough. But everything besides that is B-grade at best. Gameplay loop consists of getting missions from personality-less talking heads in a text box, driving to point A, shooting all the enemies in mindless combat, then driving to point B to receive money that you can't do anything with.
It's still very buggy and I've been softlocked out of missions and had to go back to old saves to fix it.
Very 6/10. And I loved Witcher 2 & 3. Get Deus Ex instead.
This game will always be archived as shit. It will never be considered good. The launch is the most embarrassing thing this industy has ever saw. Marcin should honestly kill himself out of shame. You shills will never be about to implement your false revisionism. This is all because you can't accept the hours and hours you wasted back in 2017-2020 buying into the hype. Pathetic. Truly. Accept you lost and your hype was misplaced.
>I loved Witcher 3, one of my favorite games of all time
Yeah, you will love this console trash as well.
Bait
Would you play an isometric game that played more like the tabletop?
no it's generic open slop with generic Hollywood anarchist plot.
It's very different from Witcher in style and tone but I liked it a lot.
I would say it has a significantly better story/characters than witcher, so you'll probably like it even if you're not a fan of the setting.
Gameplay-wise, I mean... It's more or less an entirely different genre. It's a fun game, though. Loved it on release, current version is not really all that different aside from perk stuff. People are just sheep and it became a trend to look for bugs. It's also super fricking comfy at times. Best city in gaming.
>I would say it has a significantly better story/characters than witcher
I doubt
It depends on whether or not you're a mindbroken idiot who's going to cry about 'muh celebs in my vidya' everytime Johnny's onscreen since he's co-protag, but otherwise, yeah. The story is more interesting than Witcher's 'oh no an ancient evil has awoken and also ciri is a time traveler'.
Ciri was always overrated tho
There's nothing Cyberpunk can do that Starfield doesn't. Like Cyberpunk is just a pale imitation of SF.
Cyberpunk is limited to a single [small] city, whereas SF takes place across an entire galaxy.
SF has true RPG elements, Cyberpunk does not.
SF has companions, Cyberpunk does not.
SF has weapon mods, Cyberpunk does not.
SF has interstellar space travel, Cyberpunk does not.
SF has meaningful choices with consequences, Cyberpunk does not.
I could go on, but you get the point.
You lost Todd
How did Todd lose? SF sold 12 millions copies so far. When Creation Kit, DLC, GOTY edition comes out it'll be at least 20-30 million.
>GOTY edition
>SF sold 12 millions copies
>10 million one dollar purchases
>GOTY edition
You have lost your brain.
True, objectively speaking, its a worse RPG than Starfield. But fans of Cyberpunk 2077 are not rpg fans. They're those types of contrarians that hate RPGs and just want a singleplayer FPS game with a story mode.
Driving cars
some builds are way more fun than others, like full melee builds
the story is alright, the characters are better, and the music is great and night city is an impressive city with pretty good atmosphere.
It's a good game, arguably always was a good game that was being smothered by shit
the best part of the game is all the stuff that you can miss, dream on is probably one of the best side quests i've ever played in an rpg
It's an incredibly miserable universe. In The Witcher, mostly peasants and common folk have it rough due to war, curses, and monsters; in Cyberpunk, everyone has it rough; it's a setting where everyone is just trying to get by and survive. Nature is gone, and corporations control everything. You play as a bottom feeder, trying to make it big by working as a merc; if things were bad enough already, you are the sucker that accepts a job that promises to be very lucrative. Everything goes wrong, and now you, the king of suckers, need to find a way out of the shithole you found yourself in. The game doesn't have a happy ending, and furthermore, it spends most of its story trying to be as sad and depressing as possible.
It's a very interesting world with very rich lore, but the game is not very interesting, and the story is mostly melodramatic homosexualry. It can be fun even more now that it has been patched into shape and has a very good DLC.
lol wrong and cringe
abloo abloo
These are facts:
-The game works 99% of the time
-It has some bugs but just minor stuff
-it is not a RPG, by any means. You just play a fixed story with a fixed personality character and minimal freedom of choice
-sidequests are bad except 2 or 3 of them which are more fleshed
-combat is surprisingly good, combining quickhacks (magic) and weapons works very well
-driving still sucks
-AI still sucks
-visually the game shits on anything in the current market, from a high place
-DLC is good, not fantastic but offers a good value for your money
-open world still feels underused and there is nothing to do after finishing all gigs
Surprisingly honest post.
Okay, let me fact check you.
>Works 99% of the time
I dunno what this means. The game still has bugs, sure, but even at release, it was perfectly playable unless you are a moron trying to get youtube clicks.
>it's not an rpg
Having a fixed character doesn't make a game not an RPG. That would mean 99% of rpgs aren't rpgs. That aside, there are plenty of choices and endings, just nothing that feels major like allying with a faction or whatever. Lifepaths SHOULD have been a separate storyline though rather than just an intro, I'll give you that. It was my most wanted thing for them to add.
>sidequests are bad
Stopped reading. Sidequests (actual sidequests, not gigs/NCPD shit, are some of the best around).
>combat is good
It's alright. Just be warned it doesn't reward hyperfocusing, you will be bored if you make a character that ONLY punches things. Better than the witcher, though, sure. It has it's moments.
>Driving still sucks
This is correct.
>AI still sucks
The AI is what you'd find in most games. There's not a lot more they could be doing. 2.1 did some improvements in this regard, you'll find more gangfights, ncpd shit, etc.
>visuals are great
Easily top 3 games out there to date, yup.
>DLC is okay
DLC main story was just good, but I liked the side content a lot, and Dogtown feels very fleshed out. It's definitely worth the money, though.
>Nothing to do after finishing gigs
I guess? It definitely doesn't have any immersive sim things like minigames/hangouts and shit. There's shit to collect like cars, the tarot graffiti, unique weapons and shit, but yeah, overall, it's mainly about all the quests.
Why bother replying with a cope post?
>but even at release, it was perfectly playable unless you are a moron trying to get youtube clicks
So playable it was removed from Playstation Store.
Yeah, the game should had never released on the old gen consoles.
That was CDPR biggest mistake, but they got greedy instead of releasing first on PC and one year later only on PS5/Series X
Because it was unplayable on last gen consoles. Anyone who was not a moron and playing it on pc or current gen had no issues besides some visual bugs. I unironically ran into more bugs in my 2.0 playthrough than I did on my release playthrough.
Stop asking this every day, Just try it yourself.
It's still not the game they hyped it up to be and many things they promised still didn't make it into the game and probably never will. CP2077 is still better than most of the other AAA shit that released in the timespan of 2020 to 2023. The game certainly isn't as "fixed" as they want you to believe though, it still has plenty of bugs.
Still my favorite RPG out in the last 5 years. It has SOUL and the jank was never as bad as people made it out to be, at least on PC.
Also has an impressive amount of actual KINO moments not in the meme word sense, but shots with actual great cinematography/score.
>an impressive amount of actual KINO moments
Fricking this. Even being 'realistic' it has a very defined style, is difficult to explain without playing it.
I also love its relationship with music once you advance more in the story, specially the quests with Kerry are great and very funny at times
Kerry was a terrible character, how could a homosexual with a lisp out of the UK pop circles be the partner of Silverhand (an old fashioned sex, drugs and rocknroll guy)
Did you miss the part where Johnny calls him a pussy b***h every 5 minutes in the flashbacks?
Kerry was just the vocalist, Johnny was the face of the band.
Kills me that that one moronic anon is saying the sidequests are shit when I consider Kerry's questline one of the best in the game and that is entirely missable.
> one moronic anon
idk if its one or many but damn hell they are heavy in their fricking autism-fueled hate for this game. There is not a single thread without them lying and shtting on the game for having changed during development
it's not unique to cyberpunk, any popular game gets them nowadays, Ganker is worse than reddit now and anything that gets popular will have hordes of underage morons here spend day in and out shitting on it.
>The quests with Kerry are great and very funny at times
The ones were you let Johnny take over or the ones were you pretend to be his friends?
Johny just takes over during the concer
Also, blowing the Us-cracks van or the mission in the boat are peak comfy and fricking hilarious
Maybe it's because I've already done it like 3 times but the boat part is the worst one out of the bunch, specially because you have that one awkward eye to eye, you know the one.
>awkward eye to eye
yeah, I get you. I already told him to frick off at the party thingy, I dont get why I have to suffer it again. Would have been better if V reaction was different if you dont want anything. He can still try, but you dint have to stare like a fricking homosexual
He's such a gay is unreal.
Game's alright, most of the fun I've had is when the game itself takes the focus away from the shitty story and you get to have fun blowing gang members to bits, also there's the added fun of modding the game to turn your V into a cute bawd.
>shitty story
You morons keep repeating the same shit. The story is fricking great, both the main and secondaires, and all the shit with Johnys friends after you can access the point of no return is great. Hell, even many of the merc missions are very interesting, like the peralez stuff
Fricking 10/10, and the DLC is even better but frick the nogs for doing that to my frenchfu
>
It has it's moments like the entire night corp conspiracy presumably involving rogue AI and human conditioning and DFTR, the DLC was surprisingly good with sprinkles of conspiracy as well, I liked it but the rest of the story is mostly uninteresting padding and melodrama, I'd say the game is at it's best when you are doing detective and merc work, having fun and ignore the "I'm dying Jahnny" bits.
I dont agree.
Pasing from you main quest with takemura, to nomad stuff with panam to the quest of finding evelin and the vudu boys stuff was very interesting. Also, once shit happens the quest with johny are great too.
If anything the quest of judy is underwelming and pretty moronic, but is pretty short too.
That's fine, like I say it has it's moments.
>If anything the quest of judy is underwelming and pretty moronic, but is pretty short too.
Lmao, I fully agree with that ignoring Judy after completing the Evelyn bits is the way to go, unless you want to make her sex you out of guilt that is.
Started playing when 2.0 came out and bought the DLC a few days ago.
I'm 97 hours in and hope it goes for another 20.
The game also introduced me to lots of cool music from all sorts of genres.
One minute you're driving like a madman to the sounds of Refused, and a moment later you wish you wouldn't feel.
Watch Edgerunners.
The ending song of PL is great too, sounds like a fricking james bond song
Most of the music in PL is fantastic. In Songbird's route, there's a part where it becomes Objective: SURVIVE and the fricking bass drops on this track
?t=133
and it fricking hyped me up like crazy.
I really enjoyed it even in its unfinished early release state. I enjoyed the environment and the story deeply. It was just trendy as frick to shit on and it was way overhyped and overmarketed for what the initial finished product was. I'm looking forward to playing it again some day as my PC blew up on me 3/4 through.
Its probably one of the best games ive played. I had post game depression for a long time after completing it. Now on a second playthrough
No, unless you really think that more games should follow this "release broken and unfinished and hope people either accept it as is or praise you for fixing it later" bullshit.
Which is probably the case seeing as you even need to ask.
Cyberpunk day 1 was better than 99% of the slop we get nowadays. I'd take games like it a million times over instead of garbage shovelware like Spiderman and walking simulators like Alan Wake 2.
Let me put it this way, the main story in CP is better than the one in TW3 but TW3's side stories are much better than CP's.
it's significantly improved from its launch state, but even still I would say it's not worth it without the expansion pack. phantom liberty is pretty damn good, but it mogs the main game so hard it almost seems pointless continuing once you're done
>but it mogs the main game so hard it almost seems pointless continuing once you're done
Nah, that's because you already played the main game. If you play it fresh is actually refreshing to go from the insane intensity of PL to a more relaxed open world night city.
On that tonic I think I'd not have enjoyed the main game as much if it was like PL all the time, it was great and very intense, but I missed the touches of humor and irreverence of the OG
ok yeah I feel that. I do like the unserious bits but it's kind of spread out, whereas PL is a pretty convincing thriller
