So I finished Stalker Call of Pripyat and want to play another comfy fps rpg. I thought I would play Deus Ex 1 again but I want some modern visuals and a little bit more action like in Stalker.
Should I grab Cyberpunk 2077?
So I finished Stalker Call of Pripyat and want to play another comfy fps rpg.
Frick no. Even comparing that turd to a masterpieces like STALKER is an insult.
There's not been a comparable CRPG in over a decade. Witcher 1 gets close.
Is it really this bad?
It plays like mediocre shit even with the patches and is ugly as frick
no. also you're talking to a contrarian lunatic. looks like there's a few in this thread.
try remaking this thread in 8 hours for better responses.
Shill response.
You could make a worse game by writing random code that doesn't compile, but lets not get it twisted: the game is truly awful and its setting is entirely unoriginal. Every second you play, you have to remind yourself that this company lied to you and tried to scam you. Literally. Genuinely. Ketchup and Mustard. Read Neuromancer on a coke binge and ascend yourself, son.
true, you'll be better off getting response from people who are paid to sell you product than to get it from people who play games, cause that'll make you feel better. they REALLY need your help recouping their losses.
no, its perfectly fine it just didn't live up to the hype.
By now it's a decent FPS rpg. It's no masterpiece, but if you go in blind with no massive expectations, you might even wonder what the fuss was all about. I enjoy taking in the Night City scenery and playing the guitar in one of the mid-end purchasable apartments while it's dark and raining outside is really comfy.
So if I want a comfy FPS rpg it's the right game for me. Stalker is really good but... it gets boring after some time.
Yeah, if you enjoy taking in the atmosphere of the world and god forbid, roleplaying a bit, I think CP2077 is a decent sci-fi shooter. There's loads of options when it comes to combat and exploring the city with side-quests or on your own is pretty fun. Keep in min that the combat feels rather arcade-like, since everyone has a health bar, and there's damage numbers when you fire your guns/melee weapons, use your hacks etc. Might be a turnoff for some people.
I can't recommend it at the full price, but I'd say 20-25 dollars would be ideal. If you sail the high seas, then it's no issue.
>everyone has a health bar, and there's damage numbers when you fire your guns/melee weapons
You can turn off both of those. Hell, with mods you can pretty much disable the HUD entirely if you want maximum atmosphere.
you play a video game to watch the screen and play a mideocre guitar riff
And I play fighting games because I really like Bisons stage so I just play as bison and pick the stage and run away so the match lasts longer.
>bro the game sucks, if I said this about anyother game you would say that sounds wack
It's playable and it looks really nice, it's just no masterpiece.
Yeah it's fricking awful
Stalker is shit
STALKER was written by a child, programmed by a man with Parkinson's, and the levels were designed by someone slowly dying of a brain tumor. It is only due to the atmosphere, which I can only guess was hammered out by some sort of Slavic demigod, and it carries all three games with herculean strength.
Game development has always been a pit. Play CP2077 if you think it looks good. I personally like the characters.
>masterpieces like STALKER
stalker is actually shit even if Ganker contrarians overrate it
reddit opinion, discarded
buy cyberpunk
(You) need to go back.
pirate cyberpunk
Could try metro exodus
Already played. it was boring as shit. especially compared to the first two games.
Cyberpunk is extremely underrated because of the hype it had and failure of a release. Just played it for the first tor recently and absolutely loved it. Writing is great, graphics are top tier, and the gameplay isn't bad at all. It's 100% worth playing if you get it free or cheap.
Should I play it too if I'm more the atmosphere and gameplay kind of player?
>atmosphere
You can't even sit down and order a drink in a bar
Yes absolutely, I would suggest always playing at night though, it definitely looks better. Doing side quests and driving around the map at night is just super comfy.
For $20 you're not going to get a better rpg experience. There's literally nothing better out there right now that I haven't already played.
Not really
>thx mr. letsplayberg to give me my opinion
>no argument
I'll accept the concession
>shills fear the critic that realizes bugs are the least of the game's problems
Absolutely, the atmosphere is top notch and I really enjoy the gameplay. I played it stealthy and with hacking but my friend just straight up made a doomguy build and both were viable
Sounds neat. I love to play with shotguns.
You could play with a shotgun berserker run and gun type build. High mobility, damage, resistance, etc. It's pretty fun. Just gotta clear all the points of interest on the map to make money to afford the best cybernetic implants. Do the main quests later, the main quest line is way too short.
>way too short
I disagree, while it is definitely short, I felt way more willing to replay the game knowing I didn’t have to commit 60 hours to get to that one part I like
The shotguns are really fun. In general the weapons are super well rendered and in my opinion feel good to shoot. They also have like 6 different reload animations for each weapon so it feels a bit more “realistic”.
The cars are also AWESOME, driving the Akira motorcycle in first person dodging and weaving through traffic is a trip.
It’s by no means the best game ever but it’s at its best if you aren’t overly hyping up your expectations.
First person motorcycle driving is the only way I could play after trying it. The driving controls actually feel better in first person which is rare.
It's actually not a bad game at all. I for one actually enjoy playing it. Quickhacking builds make the game literally moronic easy, but some of that has been fixed by gating off some of the legendary cyberdecks until later levels in the game. There also some things that are blatantly unfinished. It's pretty obvious that you supposed to be able to join MaxTac and Trauma Team, but it was just totally cut from the game save for a couple npc dialogue cues and the one entry mission during the clothing store robbery. Driving is also hot dog shit. Secret ending is far and away the best mission in the game.
To add, it is patently obvious the Keanu Reeves shit was almost entirely bolted on after the fact, and the person who was actually supposed to be stuck in your head was Jackie the entire time. Johnny was more than likely supposed to be a only cameo mission to find Alt as part of the Voodoo Boys quest line. Game would have been a thousand times better if Jackie was the voice in your head instead of Johnny.
Possibly one of the dumbest cyberpunk takes out there.
Apparently you morons never played the game
>Make huge deal about Jackie in first couple hours of game
>Steal one off prototype Relic that is designed to transfer Saburo Arasaka's consciousness into another body
>Something weird obviously happens to Jackie when he first sticks in it his head...almost like it is writing his consciousness to the Relic
>Somehow randomly has Johnny Silverhand's construct pre-installed 50 years later
>No reason to actual do this because his construct is already imprisoned in Mikoshi
>Proven to be able to not only talk to constructs stored by Arasaka, but holographic device exists that you can carry the fricking thing with you and talk to the projection ala' board meeting in Arasaka ending
>Your best fricking friend that the game makes a gigantic frick huge deal about in first couple hours is never heard from again
>End game mission includes what is highly likely to have been heartfelt goodbye between Misty and Jackie/V is just her randomly leading him to the roof and saying "I'll leave you here"
>deliberate writing choices that are foreshadowed, built up, and backed up
>random
You have no clue how stories work
No, this is definitely not that. Explain to me why Arasaka suddenly gives a shit about Johnny enough to put him on a prototype Relic whose entire purpose in the goddamn story is to make Saburo Arasaka immortal? Why have Jackie insert it into his head first? Why not just have V do it from the jump? It wouldn't have mattered from a story perspective at all...unless it was absolutely meant to and was cut from the game to forcibly insert "muh John Wick". The only groups in the game that give two shits about Johnny Silverhand and his relationship to Alt are Netwatch and the Voodoo Boys. I would even go as far as to say that you were going to be able to join Netwatch after the mall assault, and the legendary Netdriver cyberdeck you can somehow randomly purchase at a shop was supposed to be a reward at the end of the Netwatch questline.
>ask me how I know you either never played the fricking game or payed zero attention to any of the dialogue
>explain to me why arasoka suddenly gives a shit about Johnny
Maybe because he nuked their headquarters and killed 10000 people.
50 fricking years ago, moron.
>Explain to me why Arasaka suddenly gives a shit about Johnny enough to put him on a prototype Relic whose entire purpose in the goddamn story is to make Saburo Arasaka immortal?
Because that wasn't THAT chip's job, that was the PROJECT'S JOB. Also, Johnny's memories are either lies or wrong; Spider was the one who used Soulkiller on him when Adam Smashed him.
It's touched on in the game, but the version of events from CP RED is correct.
Again...no. The game makes it very, very clear that this was a one-off project overseen by Saburo Arasaka himself. The Relic program at the "consumer" level is to for rich people to digitize their psyche to live "forever", but is really a tool for corporate espionage by Arasaka. Again, this is heavily implied in the game. There is dialogue after you kidnap Anders Hellman to support this (he literally says the above almost verbatim). Hellman is the one working with Yorinobu to steal the chip and sell it to the Chinks (Kang Tao). If they wanted to know what Silverhand knows, THEY ALREADY HAVE HIM IMPRISONED BENEATH ARASAKA TOWER AND HAVE SO FOR 50 FRICKING YEARS
Again, why have Jackie put the fricking thing in his head during the prologue for no fricking reason? V ends up with in in his head anyways, so why no just do that? BECAUSE THEY TOTALLY RE-WROTE THE FRICKING STORY AROUND KEANU REEVES
Take a brother man bill chill pill my dude
Again....yes. Frick off, moron. Read the source material after you suck my dick.
The game fricking TELLS YOU Johnny is damaged and his memories are wrong. I am sorry that you can't read and Alt's dialogue was missed 100% by you.
The writer confirmed it on Twitter though, if you still feel like being wrong and moronic.
Bro, if you can't see that Jackie was originally supposed be the second main character instead of Johnny, you are hopelessly moronic. You actually think a CDPR writer is going to admit "so yeah, we really liked John Wick and thought he would see a shitload of copies of our game, so we cut large swaths of the story and hastily re-wrote the rest of it so we could have him in the game"?
Bro if you can't admit reality is reality and your headcanon is moronic, then frick off
It's not though, and it's super fricking obvious.
>Be game
>Make the entire first several hours revolve around how you met Jackie and how he becomes your best friend
>Have entire montage of you guys doing shit to come up (probably cut content)
>Finally come up enough to get a big job, the Relic heist
>Goes totally sideways
>Jackie is severely injured, probably dying
>Hey, you need to stick this in weird thing we stole in your head, Jackie
>"O-o-okay"
>Animation sequence makes a point that his eyes change colors after he does inserts it, even V notices it
>"Are you okay, how do you feel, Jackie?"
>"Uh, I dunno, besides the fact I'm going to die, I feel pretty fine after sticking whatever the frick this is in my head"
>Jackie dies in car
>Important character that the game takes first several hours developing character background and emotional attachment vanishes completely
>Keanu Reeves, who the game never addresses in the prologue, now randomly lives in your head
Johnny was always going to be in the game regardless if he was played by Reeves or not you fricking moron.
Pondsmith advised heavily on the script. You seem to forget this game is an established property with a canon you smegma eating moronic, regurgitating stale Ganker pastas like it's truth with a heaping helping of 'dude trust me'.
>bros Keanu totally went to CDPR every day and annoyed them to let him play the game my dad works at Nintendo it's true honest
Johnny is the most popular of the their iconic characters, tardbro.
NOOOO JOHNNY IS ON THE COVER OF THE SOURCEBOOK AIYEEEEEEEEE
I BET THEY REWROTE IT FOR KEANU SAVE ME Black personMAN
No one said he wasn't, fricktard. His role was never has a main character, it was originally supposed to be a celebrity cameo as an important side character. But, then some CDPR troony thought it would be an amazing idea to have him in the entire game, so they cut a shitload of content and shoe-horned him into the game in the most shitty possible way. And for the record, I actually like the game. I've put 300+ hours into it but to say that it's not painfully obvious the story was supposed to be completely different and have much, much less Keanu Reeves in it is disingenuous at best.
got any proof? the story we have is very well done and well put together. you cant slap together a 90 hr rpg about johnny in 10 months.
his 'proof' is that greentext story about Keanu 'hijacking' the game dev that was floating around here for a few months.
This moron apparently thought it was true.
They obviously did though. The prologue is the hint. Why have Jackie stick the chip in his head at all if it was going to end up in V's head 10 minutes later? Why specifically make an animation of his his eyes changing color to blue (like the blue eyed man sprinkled in the game) after he does to indicate that SOMETHING happened when he did? If Johnny was in fact the co-main character in the game, why was he mentioned literally once in the prologue, and even then only on reference to a drink you ordered at the Afterlife? Why even have Jackie in the game at all if he's just going to vanish after the prologue? They spent a lot of time and writing effort building him up as an important character to then completely cut him from the game
that's not proof
Play the game, and tell me I'm wrong... especially the prologue. There is tons of cut shit, some of it they even have the entry mission. What happened to MaxTac missions? The b***h literally asks you to join them after the robbery side mission...and then nothing further. I'll tell you what happened...Keanu fricking Reeves and the mad troony dash to re-write the game around him.
answer this
and stop spitting your fan fiction everywhere. Everyone knows the game had dev hell and had changed cut content. You're moving goalposts after showing you didn't understand a simple (albeit quite good) story.
because the 'cut content' is the montage of events you would've spent with him but the clearly ran out of time and changed it to a highlight reel, you fricking mongoloid moron, not shit later in the game that CLEARLY wasn't made in 10 months since it's a quite an expansive story.
Are you really this autistic and moronic?
so your 'proof' is still 'dude trust me'
>But, then some CDPR troony thought it would be an amazing idea to have him in the entire game
>source: dude trust me
face it; I've laid out facts. You lay out fan fiction and your wishes.
You are the troony. You do not live in reality. YOU want your fan fiction to be true so desperately it's pathetic.
It's a video game. Let it go. Move on.
or get some fricking facts
>What you saw was his subjective view of what happened. A warped account of events he locked away in his subconscious and replayed time and again. It bears no resemblance to the truth
>no Blackhand
>no mention of how Johnny was a MILITECH HIRED MERC on this raid
hey moron, I know this is a wild idea on Ganker, but why don't you try actually playing the game in question you're attempting to talk about?
Riddle me this, moron...why wasn't Johnny uploaded to Jackie when he stuck the chip in his head first?
Riddle me this, moron: what were the TWO conditions that occured to make Johnny start overwriting V?
You didn't actually play the game, so this might be a tough one.
When you can answer this, you can answer your own dumbfrick question and it doesn't even matter in the first place.
Why was Johnny on an ultra-secret prototype Relic personally built for and overseen by Saburo Arasaka so he could become immortal to begin with?
because it wasn't.
Play the game.
moron.
Because you didn't play the game.
Why was Johnny's engram put on the chip in the first place? Why did Yorunobu put it there?
PROTIP: The game tells you why, you just didn't play it.
because he was in Mikoshi before that? Because someone in the game wanted to sell Johnny in particular to two entities so they could use him for a very specific purpose
You know, the entire plot of game? How did you miss the entire plot of the game?
https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/spoilers-johnny-and-the-relic.11051150/
Huh, it's like even troony wienersuckers don't really know his actual purpose other than some last minute bullshit some troony scribbled in
huh it's like a Shazam troon got BTFO and linked some random bullshit
PLAY THE GAME TROON
They just wanted to make his death have an impact. Keanu was always meant to be the face of the game. They would have signed a big contract with him for the amount of voice acting hours needed far in advance. Something like that is not a last minute decision moron.
>Keanu was always meant to be the face of the game
>"He added that CD Projekt Red approached Reeves about a year ago for the role. After some back and forth with his representation, Reeves read the game's script and he "immediately" got into it and wanted to be a part."
Keanu came on board right after E3 2018. And if you rewatch that year's gameplay video, Johnny Silverhand died of old age in 2076 and not as an engram in 2023

Looks better than Stalker.
At least it’s not red dead failing you on a mission for trying to go even the slightest bit off the path
Yes, frick Ganker. Ganker is moronic and dogshit at video games. Try it out since it's always on deep sale. It's better than Skyrimjob, Fallout 3 and 4, and the Cuckhold Worlds. Not a high bar, I know, but people somehow play those shitpiles without complaint.

Sounds good. I like open world games like Elden Ring, RDR2 or Far Cry 5.
>RDR2
You like its immersive elements? If so you better not get Cybernut
If you're looking for something half as immersive or atmospheric as RDR2, Cyberpunk ain't it. You think you'd be able to sit in random food stands or drink something in a nightclub, take in the atmosphere?
It's all a facade, as long as you don't look into things too deep you'll be fine. But it's definitely not immersive and barely an RPG.
Can’t drink anything in nightclubs
>opens the generic vendor inventory
You don't drink anything, you buy a .jpg that's added to your inventory
There will be a handful of moments where V can actually sit down and eat something and it's tied to a main quest, like with Takemura pre-parade

Shazamtroony seething because the game didn't flop like he desperately wanted it too.
Game is fantastic and you don't have a single argument against this. Just NPC screeching. Whats that like? Hows it working out for you?
>dont have a single argument
its a buggy empty shallow mess you idiot, see you can tell the game sucks because the people defending the game have arguments with more depth than the actual game. Yet their arguments are just "its great and it sold well"
Shame you can’t mock this troon when you see him.
>think you'd be able to sit in random food stands or drink something in a nightclub
Who the frick actually does this though? You really go to random bars in games you play and unironically sit down and order a drink? Just go to the fridge homie...
We play this to kill people and get powerful not to bar hop.
there's a growing number of gamers demanding games cater to their escapism fantasies. that's why every game has to have "end game" content. the games cant ever end, and if they do, they suck.
>Who the frick actually does this though?
Red Dead sold 44 million copies
>You really go to random bars in games you play and unironically sit down and order a drink? Just go to the fridge homie...
So why did CDPR also add a shower or a bed to sleep in? Aren't those aligned with my vision more than yours?
>We play this to kill people and get powerful
Yep, you sound like someone that enjoyed Watch Dogs Legion 2
You seem to view immersion things as the only metric to game quality rather than a nice thing that was added to a game.
Red dead only has all those details because they came at the expense of gameplay, so while it looks amazing, it plays like a game that came out in 2006.
It’s like how some people were calling the new ratchet and clank bad because grass wasn’t getting realistically crunched underfoot
>You seem to view immersion things as the only metric
Not at all, but what else is there? Skill trees are boring "+5% handgun crit" most of the time and useless most of the other (half the time knocking an enemy down from above didn't work and required several save reloads just to be positioned juuuuust right), most sidequests are "go to a Maelstrom warehouse and kill everyone" and most main quests play the exact same way regardless of any choice you might think you're making
Besides you're disingenuous if you don't see how CDPR themselves boasted on the game being "the next step in immersive action adventure". Hell look at this
?t=265
And tell me they didn't purposefully make it seem like having a drink or fricking around in a rollercoaster were side activities to, and I quote: "immerse yourself in Cyberpunk 2077"
>not at all, but what else is there
Lmao
I'll accept it
People are having fun in the game as it is and that seems to be unacceptable for you. Nobody's denying that the launch was a clusterfrick, fueled by bullshit trailers showing things that are not in the game or are toned down (like the silent takedown in the trailer).
That being said, screeching how the game can't be enjoyed for what it is now is childish at best. A real case of the "failed ice cream test".
>I am a high IQ enlightened individual who only consumes the finest video games.
Just shut the frick up, it's a games. If you're going to act all pretentious about a junk food tier media you should try reading a book instead if you want a fully immersing experience.
>Choices without consequences
literally every game that isn't a top-down RPG with text being a majority of the 'content'
Then the game should probably not make such promises
>marketing departments should just be honest
never gonna happen.
>It's *literally* a Far Cry clone. It's a looter shooter with a million 'bandit outposts' across the map
words have meaning. if anything cyberpunk is a witcher 3 clone, and theyre nothing like far cry. stop acting like a dumbass
t. Skullface
Pfffff AAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHHA
How big is the ratio between story and gameplay?
Gameplay sucks but story is a masterpiece
As someone who played and generally enjoyed Cyberpunk on a non-poorgay PC at launch, and then played it again recently just to check up on it, DO NOT listen to people recommending it, especially if you're looking for something as engaging as STALKER. Cyberpunk is a theme park ride. It looks fricking amazing, and that's the thing that's going to pull you in despite everything else. Walking around the city and seeing everything for the first time is really cool. If you're lucky, you'll start to see the seams unravelling as late as 20 hours in. You will be approaching every scenario, kill every bad guy (complete with moronic, unengaging AI), the exact same way for your entire playthrough. Maybe if you can find it for 20 bucks it might be worth it, but otherwise you're better off looking elsewhere.
This right here is the correct answer. The game isn't bad just horribly mediocre after the first 15 hours or so.
>The game isn't bad just horribly mediocre after the first 15 hours or so
we talking about stalker now? lol love the games, but putting one eurojank on a pedestal and casting another into oblivion is simply moronic.
Do you even enjoy video games? This isn't some major commitment. The 60 or so hours of playing this game will be enjoyable for pretty much anyone that likes video games. Seems like you just hate all modern video games.
>NOOOOOO HOW DARE YOU CALL MY GAME JUST OKAY!! YOU MUST HATE VIDEOGAMES!!!
Cyberpunk 2077 is fairly story focused and cinematic, although the side quests are pretty freeform.
I'd recommend Fallout 4, Fallout NV or Fallout 3 on survival/hardcore/very hard with maybe difficulty mods if you want something that gives you a Stalker-ish exploration and survival experience.
On harder difficulties, cyberpunk firefights are pretty tooth and nail
I was deleting enemies off the universe with two shots on very hard and destroyed Smasher before his scripted dialogue could play, have we played the same game
Earlier in the game is what I more meant, but yeah later on you can get stupid OP, but I don’t particularly consider that the worst thing.
how were you doing that?
not that anon but i maxed out the annihilation and crafting trees and primarily used the sovereign double-barrel to 1-shot a majority of the enemies.
I made a handgun and melee build, used Archangel and Satori. I'm sure the former would be even more broken now after one of the patches added muzzles as a weapon mod
They can be for sure, although last I played it, it was pretty easy to make yourself powerful enough that the game becomes trivial.
>Should I grab Cyberpunk 2077?
No if you want an RPG and no if you want a good game.
Into The Radius
This is also one of the only games that lets you make cute outfits AND blast the frick out of people
>people that praise this game don't actually play games but rather take 500 pics of their OC grills
Like pottery
People that like red dead don’t actually play games, they just take 500 videos of their horses nutsack shriveling in the cold
Yep, no one plays games on Ganker
Damn bro that’s an impressive amount of time staring at nutsacks
>Anon can't stand people having fun in videogames he doesn't like.
Pottery indeed.
I tried to have a discussion with people that loved this game enough to post in its general and it's literally nothing but female V pics and circlejerking
So like any game that allows you to play as a custom character?
Those other games tend to have more going on for them
>I tried to have a discussion with people that loved this game
Like you have tried in this thread by sperging out as people say they enjoy it?
>Ganker is one person
Absolutely nothing that *I* have said is wrong
>I tried to have a discussion with people that loved this game enough to post in its general

You should be thankful that shit was even remotely on topic and not flooded by schizos lmao
>Should I grab Cyberpunk 2077?
Cyberpunk 2077 is a 10/10 masterpiece.
Cyberpunk is an excellent game, some of the rpg mechanics are a little bit shallow, but the gameplay, story, and setting more than make up for it, give it a try for yourself and see if you like it, this place is filled with contrarian homosexuals that never even played the thing
why do you like it ... its pretty just basic and there is not any really any customizable story points.
And johnny is fricking annoying. If he was a mercernery for hire I would hire him just to kill him. Hes the worst part of the game.
IMPRESSIVE
wiener
you have to be a complete homosexual to play this game, thanks for proving my point
I wasn't disagreeing with you
Nice job ruining your own point by lashing out like a baby
no I didnt johnny talking about his wiener is exactly the fricking annoying shit and degen shit I was talking about
I didnt know dude was mocking the game his response actually sounds like something the cybertrannies would give as a reason why johnny is a good character
I wasnt lashing out, I was being completely genuine about what cyberpunk means to me. Its a game for degens and childish idiots.
thought you were being another cyberidiot, good for you for recognizing the stupid shit in the game. You are not a gay but a cool dude.
Awww someone’s grumpy, do you need a snack hun?
Pirate it. It hasn't been properly updated by CDPR in more than half a year. Their "next gen" update was hilariously bad, and every thing they do to fix the utter trainwreck of an engine just fricks it more.
That said, IF you get it for "free" or around $5, it's a pretty good game. It's definitely not worth full price, or even half-price, but it's still pretty fun for what it is. If you go in knowing that it's a linear looter shooter with some lite RPG dressing, you'll love it. Don't expect any of your choices to matter, don't expect the loot system to not be utter trash, and don't expect balance.
Just finished a 100 hour playthrough and I loved it. Definitely recommend it if you want something with a great setting, characters and action to get your teeth into.
>setting
unique but shallow
>characters
kinda cringe, johnny is annoying and V acts like edge lord b***h only decent char is Vic
>action
its all just a prop, its just different gun different colors more damage. Check out any vod and youll see how moronic easy it is to sneak
This has to be a troony Discord psy-op, right? I understand enjoying the game to an extent, but to outright refuse to admit the glaring issues in Cyberpunk's design philosophy is delusional. And no, to be explicit, I'm not talking about the glitches. Non-poorgays have had the game available to play just fine since launch.
And now we're arguing that having ways to interact with the city outside of trying to glitch your way onto rooftops and running across a district to buy a car isn't important? Fricking Duke 3D had more ways to interact with the environment than this game. If interaction is so unimportant, why even make it an open-world game? The whole point of open-world is to waste your time getting "immersed." If you're not going to let the player do that, make it a real video game instead.
Consider learning the difference between “sandbox” and “open world”, many games do both, some do one.
GTA , Skyrim and red dead are open world sandbox games
Halo 3 is a linear sandbox game
Cyberpunk and mass effect are open world games but NOT sandbox.
Granted cyberpunk added in sandbox elements because people wanted them, but that was never the priority.
>Cyberpunk and mass effect are open world games but NOT sandbox.
Ok, so the difference is that the game is designed to have a bunch of empty space you're forced to move through to get to the actual fun stuff? This is a completely arbitrary distinction you just made up, and is so moronic you'll have to excuse me for suspecting you're just trying to get a rise out of me. There is literally nothing tangible separating this game from Skyrim in terms of genre.
And even Mass Effect allowed you to order a drink in a nightclub lmao
But it didn’t let you drive cars so clearly that means it’s a worse game
...?
That’s a tank not a car, OBVIOUSLY
no its a car , tanks have treads
You have treads
Also, Mass Effect is not even remotely an open-world game in the way that term is commonly understood. It's like calling KotOR an open-world game because it has a few unconnected hub worlds.
I’ll completely own mass effect was a bad example. But I do think it’s important to not use sandbox and open world as interchangeable terms.
Seems like your mind is telling you something. Maybe it wants you to go to a real bar and socially interact with people instead of trying to do it in a game.
I don't play most open-world games entirely for this reason. I don't enjoy wasting time. Unfortunately for Cyberpunk, having to drive from one end of the city to the other in order to get to the part where I actually play the game is also wasting time. So who is the bigger loser here? The guy who likes to waste his time walking down the same street hundreds of times, or the guy who likes to waste his time roleplaying?
First person driving is one of the most fun things to do in the game though.
I don't know, the cars control like shit in this game, they feel too light.
Try motorcycles. Never went back to cars after.
I love the game but I disagree, the first person view is not great for cars because it completely removes most of the visuals of the city.
I could just be spoiled by forza 5 tho
Bikes my friend
I meant to imply that bikes were the exception.
I just like the design of cars so much I wish the view was a smidge better
Yeah agreed
>So who is the bigger loser here? The guy who likes to waste his time walking down the same street hundreds of times, or the guy who likes to waste his time roleplaying?
Thanks for the laugh mate
how are you not having fun driving through the gorgeous and intricately designed cyberpunk city?
I did enjoy it to a degree, but my point is that the activity of driving does not occupy a space that other theoretical immersion-based activities in the game do not. Driving around a city that barely interacts with you is fun until you've seen everything. The game is beautiful and the city is designed very well. But there really is no excuse to create an environment that big and give you nothing to do in it besides drive and beat up thugs with terrible AI.
i agree, but let's not forget it took cdpr 3 tries before they made a fun witcher game.
cyberpunk 2 will be much better, hopefully.
>The whole point of open-world is to waste your time getting "immersed."
This is an excellent point I never would've thought of phrasing this way. A good open world is there for you to lose yourself doing things you don't do while in the main path. But with Cybernut you shoot and loot in both cases, there's nothing else of note.
>people enjoy a game I don’t like, it must be an organized conspiracy

Why do fun video games scare Ganker so much?
25% quota hired people
end product is a shitshow
imagine my shock
It went down moron. Also this 25% is their entire hr department. It's like that at every big corpo. You wouldn't want actually have diversity hires where it matters.
Game is fun but it's fundamentally a piece of shit. I just had a bug yesterday where I couldn't save and autosaves stopped happening. Tried a dozen fixes and none of them worked. Had to reload and lose a few hours. Garbage.
Wait until they release the expansion. According to a datamine leak it'll include a new branching path to the main story that'll lead to a new ending. Otherwise this game sometimes barely feels like an rpg (especially after act 1), but this branching path might help.
>a new branching path to the main story that'll lead to a new ending
It's not like that, as long as you play through the DLC you'll get a new option at the very end of the Devil ending
No "branching path in the main story"
why would I want to be in an atmosphere where everyone is some kinda sexual horned up druggie degen.
this is literally degen the game fricking trannies
>is on Ganker dot organization
2077 fans are the biggest gays in the gaming sphere. If you ever hear anyone defending the game, it should instantly tell you they're fricking moronic and shouldn't be trusted because they can't think without having an inherit bias.
Shazamtr00ns are seething. They wasted months of their lives shitposting about this game - DEMANDING that it flop.
But instead the game is a massive success critically and commercially. Its also one of my own personal favourites games of the generation so far.
This is the reality of this timeline.
But Shazamtr00ns can't cope so they fester in this shithole hoping to have their worthless dogshit NPC opinions validated by other mentally unhinged virgins.
Meanwhile, in reality, Cyberpunk 2077 remains a critically acclaimed GOTY award-winning massively successful video game. I'll be playing it later.
Islam is massively popular and successful too but that doesn't mean it's any good homosexual. You just drank the kool aid
(You)
The cope, my god
I've never seen a more pathetic game with a fandom of people desperately trying to lie to not only themselves but other people that the games not a turd. It's very frightening what companies will get away with in future if people are such consumer prostitutes that they're willing to lie about the reality of not only games piss poor performance, but the lies they campaigned on, the deception and just general let down for what was promised compared to what we actually got. All just so they won't be let down in real life or their years of hype is not justified.
Wow bro just like poetry right here
I honestly hope they're just bots. I pray even.
literally zero arguments.
Hows that cope lads?
Cyberpunk 2077 is yet another classic example of Gankerbabbies getting BTFO.
smash is not a fighting game
For me, it's the Aerondight
Prey
Only when it's on sale. Cyberpunk 2077 is an Ubisoft tier game, i.e. it has no depth in its RPG systems but is pretty and at times actually quite fun. Wasted potential, just like every Ubisoft game.
the quality between cyberpunk and a ubisoft POS is massive.
Yes. Play it unmodded once, and then browse the nexus for gameplay mods for any future playthroughs.
>Cyberpunk 2077's story was literally too complicated for brainlets on Ganker
holy shit lmao
>see thread about comfy fps rpgs
>170+ replies
>oh boy, I'd sure like to play something like that right now, let's see what Ganker has got to recommend
>thread derails into another CP2077 shitfest in under 10 posts
every single fricking time
I literally started as a Cyberpunk thread. We might have been able to move on if whatever Discord this is didn't spend all day shilling about how supposedly great the game is.
>Discord this is didn't spend all day shilling about how supposedly great the game is
>says Shazamtroon who spends all day, on Discord, planning le ebin raids about shitting on games
LOL nice try troony
>literally started as a Cyberpunk thread
Yeah, nah. OP asked if CP2077 was a comfy fps rpg, like a DX1 but with " some modern visuals and a little bit more action like in Stalker". Literally a yes or no question. Nowhere did he ask for opinions on the game itself, just whether it would fit the bill or not. And I presume the idea was to get other suggestions if CP2077 was not the kind of game that OP was looking for, instead of a bunch of morons trying to outshill each other's position. Lrn2read bro.
The OP literally started the thread asking “should I play this” and you’re livid that there wasn’t a hivemind negative response
get the division 2
star citizen isn't bad either if you give it time
>open thread
>the shazam gays get exposed yet again for being brainlets that did not play the game
>the cyberchads with the knowledge destroy them post after post
You know what? I could get used to that. It used to be just me but i see a lot of people have finished playing the game now on Ganker so the shazams are getting solid push on their schizo bullshit hate campaign.
The brainrot has truly set into this place permanently when people are either
a) so desperate to be contrarian
or
b) so dumb
as to actually say that CP2077 has any redeeming qualities or is actually worth the time investment.
The game is bad, no amount of patching can fix shitty fundamentals of game design. Your opinions are bad. Please go back to a forum more your speed
It'd be fine if we could discuss the game's few strengths and many weaknesses but idiots will always come in and claim absolutely nothing's wrong with the game and at that point it becomes a free-for-all
The blame is equally on people who come in and say that the game is irredeemably bad with absolutely zero good qualities
Cyberpunk is good. Not flawless but still better than shit like incel ring.
>this universally acclaimed and award-winning game is bad. T-T-Trust me!
Oh I am laffing at you Shazamtroony. Cyberpunk is a massively successful critically and commercially. And it has enough cultural significance to get its own tv show. Its a success in every way a video game can possibly be successful. Keep crying like a good little NPC.
homosexual tortannic Black folk pretending to act reasonable. i hate Ganker, and i hate you pricks.
>as to actually say that CP2077 has any redeeming qualities or is actually worth the time investment.
the game was actually extremely funny and entertaining back when it was full of bugs and jank
game's bland now

Linear af but it's a alright interactive movie game you can still enjoy it.

i liked the game i think it's worth a playthrough
If you treat it like an immersive sim, its worth one playthrough. Game is heavy on rails and quite linear even though its open world. Visuals are on point and night city looks great at night, even at day at times. It nails the cyberpunk aesthetic. But they are vastly inferior in terms of gameplay compared to deus ex 1 or stalker.
You can make the gunplay a bit like stalker but more mobile if you buff the values. But stalker is better. Go on the vg thread and look up stalker coc(k) or anomaly
>want deus ex 1, but with better visuals and a little more action
I’m not saying it’s just as good as DE1, but Human Revolution and Mankind Divided are still solid ass games.
Mankind Divided is better than the original.
Hey that’s a fine opinion. Ultimately though, I’m just saying OP should try those before slogging through frickin Cyberpunk of all games
