Why the hell was it even an option. Your junk never shows up in the game at all. Seems like they added it just to create buzz/controversy in the lead up to the release.

Went to do the preparation for the parade float thing. Trying to actually be all metal gear solid for a change (even though I rambo'd 4 an 5 of that too), try to remove a marker off a guy I'd taken out, toss a grenade instead. Then I had to go through the most unenjoyable process of blowing the head off of every last person in that whole complex. Even with almost 600lbs carrying capacity, I had to use a protein powder to get out of there.

Then Panam calls me for a mission, we're doing some recon before hand and after its over...it just repeats the sequence except its all black except for the red silhouettes of all the enemies and stuff and theres just no way out so I have to altf4

I feel like I've done nothing in the story. In retrospect, Jackie->heist->rescue EV/she dies->hellman->now feels like a couple of hours of actual playtime. I know its more, but still. The rest is all inconsequential money grinds or being trigger happy.

Do the Voodoo Boys quest and make sure you do everything related to Panam and the nomads AFTER the Hellman arc. It's worth it and belongs to the better parts of the game.

Tenzarin is correct when they say that the good and the bad is intermixed. For every high there is a low, where the game forces you on it's track and does not give you extra options. Remember, this was marketed as a choice-heavy action-RPG, until they changed the description to "Action-Adventure" a year before release. I can live with the dead city, the broken traffic and cop AI, the limited cybernetics and all the other jank. But playing Cyberpunk after Witcher 3 is such a letdown when it comes to the story.

I would only go back to this game, if the DLCs tied into the main campaign and opened up new choices and alternative paths, together with new or extended endings.

Apparently one of the investors on their conference call calculated that the game had sold just 800,000 copies across the first quarter of 2021. Which, given it started off selling like 10 million copies in its launch month on account of strong pre-orders, is a slight decrease.

Also from the investor call stuff:
  • The next patch ("not the biggest one, rather smaller") will be out in the next couple of weeks.
  • They're in "the middle" of getting back onto Playstation Store, there are "metrics" they need to hit before they'll be allowed back that they don't want to discuss. No estimates on their return.
  • They've also had discussions with Microsoft, not just Sony, with some fairly bad implications (ie. the SVP of biz dev saying that he'll only talk about the contents of the discussions with Sony and MS in his memoirs in 20 years time)
  • Their weird "roadmap" was updated with a footnote that the "Free DLCs" will be "small additional content".
  • 300 people working on unfucking the game, with 30% of the team working on unannounced new content. US$7.9 million has been spent on current patches.

They still haven't learned to shut their big, dumb mouth.

What was promised was a living, breathing city with a ton of interaction, where the players would make their own choices, sometimes with long term consequences and heavily influenced by the background picked at the beginning.

Instead we got an on-rails story in a Potemkin village.

CDPR needs to shut the gently caress up.
They've literally dug themselves up into the same hole as No Man's Sky did by not shutting the gently caress up, but unlike No Man's Sky they aren't going to dig themselves out of it.

Seeing as it spikes after a patch dropped and then going down without another patch/hotfix, I assume it's just total crashes, not crashes per hour played? Less people playing, less crashes.

I tried again after the 1.2 dropped, and forgot that when I hit continue, it replays the credits (because it crashed the last time on me during the credits), so I thought I'd let them run through this time, and of course it crashed again during the credits. (PS4 Pro)

Haven't picked it up again after that.

Getting buttmad about the mere existence of something (an investor report) that isn't targeted at you, is basically a peak gamer neckbeard moment.

Way to let the point completely sail above your head.

I thought that CDPR continuously promising something that they absolutely failed to deliver on was a pretty agreed upon fact and I don't think that it's that much of a stretch to assume that they're never going to be able deliver on those promises. That's why they should just take the L instead of promising more poo poo they're not going to deliver on.

Yeah. With the free dlc that was always gonna be the case. That’s what they did with Witcher 3. Also id pay to be a fly on the wall for that call.

The promise made in reference was to update the game following release, not the hyped up nonexistent game people were imagining for 3+ years. That’s not an outlandish promise at all although given the rather muted flow of information this year I don’t know what would help people feel better anyway.
