American cops are so loving overfunded that they have developed technology that allows them to just spawn 5 meters behind you.

And here I was worried that the game was going to try and make me sympathetic to the cops, what with all the side jobs you can do for them. But no they suck just as hard in the world of Cyberpunk. Now THAT'S Punk!

Some people only play 2-3 video games a year, so Assassin’s Creed being an 80 hour epic works for them

With the insane amounts of assets created for this game, as well as CPDR's apparent refusal to fix broken core game systems or add content, I have a hunch this will eventually be repurposed into a battle royale cash in. All they would need to do is strip out the plot, characters, inventory, RPG systems, and maybe add some collision to some unfinished buildings. I believe the engine was built with multiplayer in mind, though no idea how far that ever got.

There's a really interesting thing that happens around 2005 in the video game industry where the previous assumption that a game should be ~20-30 hours long breaks and on the one hand you get COD-style '10 hours but every second is full intensity' action games, and on the other hand RPGs and strategy games (which had always done this to an extent, but even more) start to push more and more to be 'triple digit hour' games.

I wasn't super interested in his story but it seemed like someone who bought into the story that the corpocops were the corrupt assholes while the city cops were people in it to protect the people and then quits when he becomes disillusioned. And realistically, I could see a world where an idealistic kid decides that being a cop and not some private security Pinkerton poo poo is actually a decent attempt at standing up for the common man. You know, the city cops who go after ALL criminals, even the corpos! He'd probably be wrong, but I'd probably give something like a hypothetical magical EPA enforcement branch a chance, especially if they hosed up the cops harassing pipeline protestors.

I actually like the core loop and my main beef is that none of the "dungeons" are long enough to credibly tax your resources. It's really odd that the majority - maybe even all - gigs and missions are "Go into this one building, kill or avoid everyone, you're done."

The first ten hours were the best the game had to offer. Everything after that got progressively worse, both in narrative and gameplay.

It definitely has its failings, and I'd like to see more content, but I'm not rushing around with a massive hateboner over it. I do still think they should cut last-gen consoles loose, but whatever.

I mean it's a perfectly mediocre game narratively with broken or poorly designed gameplay systems. The cracks begin to show about 6 hours in; the walls start collapsing about 15 hours in, if that.

I'm not gonna complain about individual posters itt but I will continue to report them! Edit: to be clear, "I don't like the game, it's bad" is a fine and normal opinion but some people itt verge on obsession.

Game is Huge as a selling point is about value proposition. When some suit is trying to convince a few million people to part with sixty bux, being able to say "you'll get 200 hours of playtime" is a selling point, especially for people who may only buy one or two games per year. That's why companies push for bigger worlds, more filler, more procgen, anything to keep the drip dripping longer so they can pad those playtimes as much as possible. They view games the same way investors look at any commodity, so "more game for your money is better than less game for your money." Hours played is an easy metric to understand, market, and explain to investors. Much more tangible and quantifiable than creativity, uniqueness, art direction, or gameplay mechanics. Game Long. It makes sense.

I still don't know why posting "game is terribly mediocre" is like a hot take or anything. What really else is there to post about his loving thing anymore. We are all just waiting for updates to see of they fix anything or release anything new. I did play it on a PS5 tho, so again, the poo poo I encountered might not be the same as a lot of yall. But goddamn the story sure was the same and that misfired in a million different directions. Game play wise it was completely terrible, from a design and player viewpoint. Whole systems need to be gutted and reimagined. I don't think any of those opinions are getting into some kind of meme territory. The last boss died in seconds. Elite Arasaka enforcers triped over each other in hallways. Judy sat in her apartment and called you from a whole different state. Tons of perks were improperly implemented or are just outright broken. NPC AI in the open world is terrible, combat or otherwise. Story reactivity feels nonexistent. It was -- and is -- a mess (but a beautiful one if you played on PC, less so on consoles, even on PS5).

I know there's mods for tweaking AI and such, but I'm curious if there's been any attempt at a comprehensive rebalance mod.Mendrian posted:"Game is lukewarm, could have been better, lots of amazing parts mired in mediocre to bad stuff, hype was excessive and stupid" is the normal opinion.

Cyberpunk didn't kill my dog but my cats throw up less since I stopped playing it. Possibly a coincidence but maybe they were just really unsatisfied with the ending of the Peralez plotline.

The game suffers a lot from the Game of Thrones syndrome, most of the cool characters die early and then the game struggles to make up for it for the rest of the game, with a handful of exceptions. Also 95% of the game is on rails after The Heist. The few missions where the game delivers the promised immersion are the intro stories, The Pickup and I walk the Line.

It’s crazy that a whole colourful supporting cast is killed off after the opening act. Jackie, T-bug, Dex and Evelyn were all too unique and interesting to be sidelined by Johnny. I enjoyed the Johnny dynamic, but oh what could have been… It makes me think that they should have stuck with characters unknown to the tabletop world, because the characters i mentioned were all interesting and seemed like they had story threads dangling. Like what was the point of even setting the game in 2077 if the most important npcs are all from 50 years ago.

When games cost 70 you can't be surprised if people want more value for it. The days of six hour campaigns need to be over. It might have been acceptable back in 2007 but it isn't acceptable today. Ubisoft rightfully gets a lot of flack for their rather samey games, but the one thing they do right is have a lot of content & things to do. You get your money's worth and then some.
