Skyl3lazer posted:Everything I've seen on streams so far indicates most of this game is sitting in a chair as 2 npcs talk nearby, followed by the same drive->shoot 1 guy->back to chair loop. Like 4+ hours of this after the 20 minute intro based on your life path, which is never mentioned again. You forgot the part where the mission scripting breaks or you get stuck in a wall and have to reload. It's key to the gameplay loop.

I really want to see what this game actually looked like back in April.

Or they could just have a few randomized prefab systems to hack into like a much older simpler game It would have just led to disappointment when the trailers showed hundreds of AIs walking around but at launch the game could only render a dozen at a time.

What's the point of a giant city if there's nothing interesting to do in it? I guess a question CDPR should have asked itself back when they started development in

Yeah this definitely on par with the greatest RPGs ever made. Also I think McDonald's hamburgers are the pinnacle of cuisine, and I don't understand how TV could ever climb past the heights of Friends. edit: really if you're going to compare it to buggy messes that were still good games, you have Alpha Protocol right there. But Cyberpunk doesn't come anywhere close to the level of reactivity on display in AP so it still falls flat in comparison.

# ¿ Nov 16, 2021 06:17 |

I mentioned Alpha Protocol before and if they were going to make a 20-30 hour experience that would have been the lesson to build off of. Highly reactive, lots of branching narrative, a feeling like you're getting a completely different experience based on your decisions and how you react to different characters. Unfortunately the only part of AP they seemed to copy was the part where development was a nightmare and they had to scrap a bunch of their work in order to get to a very buggy release.

# ¿ Nov 16, 2021 17:19 |

I'm not sure "just as reactive as a game from 2000" is as much of a selling point as you're making it out to be. Deus Ex lets me approach every map in a bunch of different ways and is highly immersive for the time it was released. Even dumb trap skills like swimming has edge uses that let me be the cool swimming guy. Every time I tried to do something cool with my kit in Cyberpunk it felt like the game was mad at me for even attempting to step out of bounds. The couple of times I recall it working out, like when I bypassed a big chunk of the lovely unworkable combat by leaping to a second story window and going straight to my objective, were so few and far between that it didn't really feel good. It just made all the times where I couldn't do that cool poo poo or make use of the tools at my disposal feel worse.

Funky See Funky Do posted:Really? I never knew that. I just did the things the game told me to do in the order it told me to do them because by that point the game had taught me that everything ends the same way no matter how you do it. There's a sequence in his quests where you do the dumb braindance scanning minigame several times. If you somehow fail to find two specific clues in the third one (and only the third one, nothing you scan aside from these two clues actually matters as far as I'm aware) he'll go to the wrong barn and get killed(?) somehow. You're right that it's sort of a "nah, I'm out" thing because that's really the only way to not find every clue in a braindance. The problem with the game is less that they never considered other potential outcomes, minor ones pop up from time to time. It's that the ones that do pop up are very few and far between, and the game thoroughly trains the player to believe that alternative outcomes aren't possible. I was excited to see how things would play out with my choices re: Evelyn and Dex, and after I saw how that all went down I very much stopped worrying about alternative possibilities.

Can you still summon vehicles while you're inside of a building? Causing motorcycles to burst out of an elevator shaft and do donuts around a room until they explode was probably the most fun I had in this game.

jisforjosh posted:I remember people in this thread near launch, when I hadn't played very far into the game at all, raving about how awesome braindances were and really looking forward to experiencing them. Diving into a recording of someone's experience and seeing a playback of what they lived in real time is quintessential cyberpunk poo poo, and it's one of those concepts that lets people's imaginations run wild until they actually get their hands on it and realize that it isn't really doing anything new. After the first few I was excited to see what else they were going to do with them, but it turns out that was everything.

"We're exploring new projects" isn't coded language stating they're abandoning the IP, it's something standard you say to investors who want to hear about new and exciting things when it's still too early to talk about the new and exciting things. If anything, glancing through their financials suggests they're going to stick with Cyberpunk. Despite the costs it's selling enough to keep them in the black and they're probably expecting a really long tail on the sales if they can get it into a state where the overwhelming opinion shifts from "this is a mess lol" to "actually it's alright and the expansion makes the whole thing worth it." And they can't announce a Cyberpunk sequel or spin-off until they fix the first game anyways. Any trust the studio had from Witcher 3 has all but evaporated and they need to correct for that, announcing a new game in the setting now would just have people asking when they plan to finish developing the first one.

Has anyone put out a Ghost Mode equivalent for Cyberpunk? 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.

Alchenar posted:CDPR, Rockstar, and Bethesda work on design timelines that means they can all deconflict by not even releasing in the same year as each other, and there really aren't any other games in town for this scale of open world RPG (assuming we're not treating the Ubisoft raft of games as in direct competition). Bethesda cheats by releasing Skyrim every year.

Yeah, as a small indie startup with no prior games under their belt, you can't really expect CDPR to be able to match something like GTA

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:I mean, this is what W3 excelled at and where CP77 can be considered to have failed the most. The phone call mechanic should have been exclusively to set up in-person meetings to get that amazing dialogue and scenes everyone expects. Make some excuse like phones aren’t secure (they aren’t). It’s absurd that all of the fixers have offices in the world and V only ever really visits Wakako twice and Dex once. Every Mr. Hands mission should have started with V getting thrown into the back of a Van for a remote video conference. A missed opportunity. My brother got tons of in-person meetings with fixers on his playthrough. Every time he got a phone call the NPC would teleport next to him.

Mikojan posted:Well I bought it at full price, judging by the thread the game isn't BAD bad and probably still worth a playthrough On a technical level it's hilariously bad. The game often just doesn't work, the AI is a mess, perks are meaningless, etc etc etc. But from a story/character level you're going to get a pretty wide range of responses. On that front I'd classify it more as Wildly Disappointing than I would Bad, per se. Some people like it, not impossible you're one of them. Since you already bought it I'd just wait and see another couple months. It's not going anywhere and maybe a miracle patch will finally happen (lol).
