Cyberpunk 2077: 1 YEAR LATER

Cyberpunk 2077 has seen a number of commendable fixes and updates over the last year, but it still needs work. Here's a quick look and status update on the game.

I will always remember this one as the game that taught me to NOT pre order a game. EVER. No matter how excited I am for it. The game itself it’s actually very good but the amount of technical issues overshadowed the quality of the game and rightfully so. Hoping that CDPR manages to give us a better version in the near future.

[@iguessYoo]

Do not pre order open worlds game !

Not for me. It ran smoothly since day one. I have a ps4 pro.

@Harry Baals And thats why I bought it a year ago cause I waited or lets say I didn't had the money luckily back then

[@blackskyirregular9876]

Coming off of Witcher 3, they had reason to trust CDPR. *Everybody* was anticipating this game, and I don't believe any gamer that says they weren't hype for it, before release.

[@1h4t3pur3s]

It is an amazing game tbh i play on pc but it definitely did what they said it would

[@SilvyReacts]

@@blackskyirregular9876 To put it another way. I was someone who didn't even play The Witcher 3 but have heard so many good things. And the way CDPR did things just seemed to come off as good, and honest. It was all the things that I heard about them and saw that lead me to believe that CP2077 is going to be amazing, 100%. Weeeeellll ... here we are today lol.

[@SilvyReacts]

@@1h4t3pur3s *"but it definitely did what they said it would"* Then you didn't watch a whole lot of the promotional material. In fact, it's the complete opposite, there is so much that the game doesn't do that they claimed it would.

[@danspencer4235]

I have mixed emotions about the bugs. They were really entertaining. Having your plans interrupted by a car falling out of the sky just makes you realize that not everything is predictable.

[@jkeebla]

i mean, its a matrix sequel, the bugs are just glitches in the matrix.

[@MrTepik]

Accelerating off a ramp in the desert, just to have your vehicle come to a complete stop midair, at the apex of your jump. You exit, confused, and take fall damage. After messing around for a bit, running under the car as if you are a magician proving there's no invisible scaffolding, you shoot the car. Nothing happens. You go under it again, just as gravity wakes up from daydreaming about Keanu, and promptly get crushed, letting out a gasp of surprise. I laughed so hard after this. Most of the bugs were great in this game. 10/10.

[@drek9k2]

While I am happy to be seeing a finished game minus bugs and that allegedly is actually a pretty vibrant lively world, it's clear from watching all these videos how it had some fundamental problems that can't/won't/aren't ever going to be fixed because CDPR is too busy sucking the dicks of nVidia and releasing yet another tech demo to shovel out overpriced and underdelivering hardware at the gullible masses. I.e., if you buy a 3070 or anything from Lovelace you are a moron. Meanwhile that's seemingly what CDPR busies themselves with, releasing shit to make a broken game from previously working one, last I heard DirectX12 which broke Witcher 3 completely got fixed, only now to break DirectX 11, hence why I never allowed the update to be installed and only play the original buggy game. And yes Witcher 3 had bugs, notably it has bugs from the mid 2010s that never even got fixed, which goes to show how much a broken state W3 could've been in had CDPR kissed Jensen's ass and for Pascal being a pile of shit that they'd need to rely on Hairworks to sell it, and then booting undercooked witcher out the door to try and sell their fanboy cards because that's exactly what happened with Cyberpunk. And meanwhile to try and sell Lovelace 40 series jank they got this next gen broken ass update on Witcher 3 and fully pathtraced scenes in Cyberpunk so now your absurdly, insultingly overpriced nVidia hardware can get like 22 fps with it. Which is partly why I already switched brands to AMD. I want reliable performance and affordable 4k gaming, idgaf about these gimmicks and bugs. Meanwhile I think it's hilarious because this is actually going to go down as one of those games that was more interesting to play for bugs just because its Goat Simulator-tier chaos and violence makes it so funny. Like not even in an Obsidian game kind of a way, as in it's so completely random and there's so many that the bugs actually makes it an entertaining experience provided you don't go into it expecting an actually working self serious game, instead expecting a broken goat simulator. So kind of like Fallout New Vegas or some Bethesda game.

[@JonathanOgdenMusic]

Maybe it’s more to do with WHY I play games, but for me, I want a game to unwind with and get lost in another world for a while, and it’s perfect for that. I think Night City is absolutely incredible from a design point of view. I finished the main campaign and now I’m going back finishing every gig and side quest, and I still regularly just stop and look around at how amazing it looks. I don’t do that with games often. I feel like they nailed the aesthetic, the sound design, the atmosphere. I’m playing on PC so probably less glitchy, but in terms of what I was looking for in the game, it delivered!

@@Dreadpirateflappy nope, cdpr even changed the game's description from RPG to action-adventure game, they scrapped the RPG thing mid development. as you can see, even the life path system was changed and in the final version it became just intros for each life path (and some irrelevant lines)

[@raven-0621]

the only thing left of a RPG is the equipment and skills system, your choices don't actually matter in the quests as there are only 3 endings and that's it

[@dimitri1154]

I played Cyberpunk on PC a year ago and absolutely loved it, the atmosphere, the story was amazing. Did not see a ton of bugs, other than silly stuff like textures and clipping issues here and there. But I came from playing games like STALKER which were extremely buggy open world games but have build a multi-year cult following, the atmosphere was unmatched. If anything I would like to see more content - not more guns and jackets - but missions. I would love to see an "epilogue" of what happens to V, maybe an expansion in the badlands or a prequel doing quests with Jackie before the "big heist". But I realize this is a tall order and likely won't happen.

[@Mr147luckyman]

I totally agree, the panam side missions are amazing lol

[@irrelevantdumbass1103]

You enjoy nonsensical stories with a plot that is structured in a way that makes no sense ? Wish I was simple as you .... Yeah the Panam missions amazing .... lets run around the city and set up some elaborate EMP trap , ops didn't work ... lets pull out a RPG from my butt crack and shoot down the transport .... Why did I just ran around the city exactly? oh' right the game has no content they needed to make you run around for nothing .... in a nonsensical story plot and mission structure .... cool ... 10/10 i've watched porn movies with better plots ...

I just hope that they add more content when it comes to choosing your different origin paths and how it can affect the story as a whole. There’s no stat boosts, unique skills, or special missions that you get for picking Nomad, Street Kid, or Corpo and I feel like they missed out on an opportunity for great content by brushing over V’s background

[@georgesalib8964]

there is kinda of one for each, if you go corpo you can meet ur boss in an alley later and get his gun, if ur a nomad u can find ur car later, i dont know what u get for street kid though.

[@lordofolimpia1]

that will need a hard core coding. they really messed that part up for not doing it from the beginning

[@trevorsoh2130]

The game has some great environment design and art direction , vehicles characters, but I’m a little over what I felt was a one dimensional game - an big, detailed and crafted world like this needs more ways to interact meaningfully with the world itself - not just shooting, driving and dialogue, but also with npcs and non-story buildings and shaping/ designing your own apartment. So so much unexplored potential there - that’s what makes it so depressing. I can appreciate how much time effort and sweat went into this game - but really want to see a living and breathing world where you can actually build your own journey and carve out a space in it; Hope they can do a no mans sky like revival with this game - and don’t mean in a multiplayer sense - but in interacting with the world.

[@Uldihaa]

@@chuckles9767 I 100% agree with this. They literally montaged what would have been the best part of the game and what would have made the Silverhand portion have impact on the player beyond "Well, I wasted a lot of time in character creation, didn't I" feelings. I'd bet money that a big part of the changes the new director made when he was hired was to cut that entire segment so the story would get to Keanu as fast as possible. All they had left were some pre-rendered cutscenes, so they made more and stitched them together into a montage. Silverhand was the focus of the story, not 'V', and that pushed me away from it. I wonder how many of those that love this game have a lot of experience with cyberpunk/cyber-scifi settings. I didn't see anything particularly noteworthy in CP2077 for its genre; in fact, I'd argue that it played the genre's tropes painfully straight.

[@shubhampawaskar6443]

Justice wasn't done to the artwork and the environment. I was yearning for more interactivity and exploration, it was depressing. It is always the management that fks up- the chaps mostly with no experience in making a game get to make decisions and make more money. Great.

[@shubhampawaskar6443]

@ENGINEERING WONDERS IN A MINUTE Graphics wise? Not a chance, Cyberpunk has nailed it. If your comment comes from your experience of the game, it could probably be your machine that's weak enough to run the game at its full graphical potential.

I was really looking forward to this game when it was announced but I never jumped onto the hype train. I've been gaming for too long to actually expect games to come out great day one these days. Single players games don't really need to be played on release anyways, I usually play them at least a year after release or wait until a "game of the year" version where most game breaking bugs are patched out. Being a patient gamer is the way to go with these sort of games.

I agree . I didn't fall for they hype , especially when they wouldn't answer a simple question on their own forums . That's what happens when you go public and burn your bridges to the fans that supported you on PC for years . Just like Gearbox did with BL3 ....

[@tylerphilco]

This was the only game I ever did jump on tho and buy ahead fully expecting a great experience. I never thought CD Project Red would let me down. They had always been known as the studio that didn’t care about the money or release date, just so long as the delivered a perfect product. Witcher 3 is still considered by most including my self as one of the best games ever created. Sucks that this game just wasn’t near ready as the company bowed to share holders and pressure to release “on time”.

[@sengbush0077]

I'm turning into you after this game

[@SanderleiSouza]

This is 2022 and I'm back playing this game. As so many players I pre-ordered it, but I did it on the second day it was available for pre-order. I waited for more than a year to launch and play the game. I bought it for PC and I had a decent rig I could run the game. I finished the game once only on one lifepath then I dropped it. After almost one year I played the game again and I felt and saw the difference, but all of what CDPR was marketing, before releasing the game, or what the fixes and upgrades they promissed post-launch, wasn't in the game. I was "okay, I can wait a little longer". But that was it. And then I started thinking about what the creator of the source material had to go through with all this situation. Mike Pondsmith had so many invitations and was asked so many times to sell the rights of his creation for TV shows producers and film makers but, the majority of them, he said no. He was waiting the right moment and the right media to turn Cyberpunk 2020 into a greater piece of work. Unfortunatelly it didn't work out so well because the source material is awesome.

[@ates423]

Is it worth picking up now? Even with the missing promised features? I followed the game since 2013 with low expectations, i don’t mind the game being okay I’m just wondering if all the bugs and stuff are ironed out a year later.

[@malcolmdbz]

@@ates423 dude if u can find a cheap copy or it on sale digitally for less the $20 then heck yea give it a whirl! I waited since 2013 just like you did. I was soooo hype! I followed every Video, News/Web Article, Interview, etc. I still had alot of fun playing it for a week and a half straight on launch, but the bugs got so annoying that i decided to shelf it until they fixed it. And after the whole thing with people hacking into the game's unreleased multiplayer components and using it to hack people's PSN accounts, i really was like i'm not putting this disk back in until the game is fully fixed. Litterly haven't played it since, but if i'm being honest i still had alot of fun playing it. The story was really awesome and had interesting characters and the gameplay was fun, when it was running smooth. Still the game is missing alot of stuff, they should have said eff the preorder money and spent another year or 2 finishing the game. Also they could use the extra time to add in all the extra stuff they promised.

[@theman1860]

Is the A.I for NPCs still bad? Do they still feel as lifeless as they look in that video?

[@Tripnotik25]

@@theman1860 Theres way less NPCs now if you consider that a plus. Their idea of "improving stability" was just cutting away at the NPC density, cars, everything. Before the streets would have 20 or 30 braindead zombies, now there will be 5 in the same scene. Sometimes zero. "improved", this on PC and max settings.

Witcher 3 had an amazing open world and was far bigger. Game just needed more time but I don’t see them adding any actual content or RPG features we all like so not sure if that will happen.

[@Zigeuninja]

@@elijahmckenzie9207 Honestly the open world of The Witcher 3 is about as lifeless as Cyberpunk but the thing is, it makes sense in TW3 because most of it is just forests without a lot of people. TW3 was all about exploring and discovering new areas like caves, monster nests and bandit camps whereas in Cyberpunk you dont get quests by exploring the city, you get quests via a phonecall that make you explore the city. I think this is one of the biggest flaws this game has because you never really have to and drive around on your own to get new missions. It wouldve been really cool if you could enter a cafe or something and accidentally meet someone who you can talk to and get a mission from. That wouldve been way more dynamic and less like GTA online where you get called once every 3 minutes.

[@mrunknown164]

They shouldn’t have made it for last gen too. Just next gen and pc

[@preppen78]

The world by itself is pretty good. The city serves as a great backdrop for the story, just like W3. I'd much rather have a world like this compared to the generic world of a Bethesda game. If CDPR can fill it up a bit more with added content, it probably won't feel as lifeless, but in the end the world is just a backdrop for a fairly concise SP story, which is what I want in a game like this, or a Witcher game.

[@deadninjastorage6160]

Eventually and unexpectedly I really grew to love this game. I didn’t play it much over its first year because all of the glitches and bugs. Fast forward a year later and even with all of the patches I’m still seeing bugs. I even had to reset my console a couple of times because the game just froze on me. Definitely frustrating and I wouldn’t of blamed anybody for uninstalling this game and moving on. However, if you can get past all of that then this really is an awesome game. If you love a great story and side quests that are really deep and just as good as the main story then you will be right at home with this game. Before you know it Cyberpunk 2077 will sink it’s hooks into you and you will playing for hours. And finally, whoever created Judy Alvarez deserves a raise. She is a little bad ass and is ridiculously hot.

It was a glitchy nightmare when it first came out. I had to stop myself from playing too much. I liked it a lot so I fought through it. But it was ruining my impression on the game. I want to come back and play it when it’s where it should be. I hope that’s sooner than later.

I'm in the same boat. I check in on the game every now and then to see if theres something that makes it worth coming back to. A whole year later and the game still disappoints me. So much wasted potential.

[@sillystrings9501]

I’ve been writing a ton about anti-consumer practices in the gaming industry lately because it does feel as though consumers are pretty much paying developers to fix their games. I know gaming isn’t the end of everything but it’s still unfair to spend $60+ dollars for something that’s broken, especially when we didn’t have any real means of returning games we didn’t like for awhile. Obviously not every industry is perfect but imagine a real estate agent advertising a house for sale that was nothing like the pictures? The whole “fix it later” mentality doesn’t seem sustainable because a lot of people have moved on from this game. I can also see how they shot themselves in the foot by announcing the game wayyy too early without a clear release plan. The seven year wait and all the delays were arguably bad PR moves on top of all growing hype for it. It reminds me of what happened with No Man’s Sky and how I noticed companies shifted from hyping things up for marketing towards releasing info closer to a game’s release date. Not to mention that so much changed within the gaming industry from the initial trailer in 2013; On a positive note I definitely agree with you on how they go about adding content if they go that route! I loved what AC Odyssey did post release by adding new quests within the world they already built. Night City is such a beautiful place to explore that it would be a shame to not make more use of it:)

You can tell the entire staff at HelloGames has always been passionate about that game and the world they’ve been able to create and I think it really is a marvel of an accomplishment. It may not have been the game it was promised it would be 5 years ago but at least they didn’t give up on their project; the backlash was there initially but it seems like the community has really grown understanding of the developers.

I just didn't get it, I didn't even care about this game quite frankly. It's only recently I developed an interest in maybe exploring a Los Angeles like urban zone this summer, and GTA V and Cyberpunk fit that bill. But I suspect it's the same people stupid enough to overpay for an RTX card, dismiss people for pointing out 8gb VRAM was not enough and its MSRP was too expensive, and then promptly trashing hard working gamedevs putting in overtime just because their shitty card like 3070ti is nowhere near as capable of doing high resolution next gen raytracing as a 6800 and so spend their time trashing the reviews and forums rather than accepting they keep getting conned. It makes me wonder how many of those people also smeared their shit around congress after getting got by an NFT salesmen telling them to donate their stimmies to some billionaire's "election fund."

[@nunbiz7328]

I have a theory that all those scenes were originally concepts that were meant to be the tutorial-first third of the game but due to development issues they skip you right ahead to the major heist mission which by any story telling standard should have been done a third or half way through the game. This would have allowed a more natural immersion Into Night City, a slower boil of the story and the ability to actually build up your relationships with the fixers and jackie by doing basic grunt work. It also would have kept the narrative of the opening of the game more light as it would be about trying to make it big in Night City rather than trying not to die of Cyber Brain cancer.

[@theslay66]

The problem with adding a DLC with this content is : how do you fit all that with the character progression system ? If it have been events happening somewhere during the middle of the campaign, it would have been fine. You gain some experience, maybe a new gun, or whatever, this doesn't fundamentaly break your character progression. But these are events happening before the game itself, where you start at the lowest level and most basic equipement. How do you fit that in, without having your DLC feeling like a complete waste of time for the progression of your character, or breaking the starting state of the main story ? A flashback sequence during the main mission maybe ? Still, it would be difficult to have it fit coherently with the main story.

[@ChronicKush]

@@foreverpop2542 he's not lying tho... I played on an Xbox one S and besides the odd crash to dashboard (probably happened about 6-7 times in 120+ hours of gameplay) I experienced very little glitches. Never saw any of the t posing or vehicles randomly spawning in front of you while driving or any of that shit. That being said I was extremely disappointed about all the cut content and lack of things to do while free roaming night city. Besides that I absolutely LOVED the map and ambiance. Literally one of if not the nicest I've seen in a video game. The storyline was amazing and the characters were as well. If they could add a lot of the cut content and gave us a lot more activities to do while just free roaming the city as well as fixed the AI and police AI to give them a lot more depth this game could easily be one of the greatest of all time. 💯

@@foreverpop2542 Did you not pay attention to my criticism of the game? I assure you I've spent a good amount of time complaining about the game; just because I haven't focused on the glitches doesn't mean I approve of it. I believe the negatives of this game run far deeper than just the glitches. During a 70 hour run through on PC of the game I did not experience crash where i had to reload. I didn't get a single one of those funny glitches where a car randomly crashes or explodes, or have missions where npcs got stuck. I did almost always have my car travel companion's torso twisted 180 degrees round though and I had 2 T pose incidents. Add a few civilians panicking when I jumped a couple times and that's about it. I considered my self very fortunate on the glitch side of the game.

@@foreverpop2542 Listen, as someone who loves singleplayer games and has played almost all the best ones out there I got Cyberpunk on a sale for 50% off like a week and a bit ago putting in about 6 - 5 hours into it daily, I can fully say this game is absolutely incredible and one of the best games I’ve played, sure there are glitches here and there but they never really bother me, they just limit the game from reaching an untouchable level of immersion, like if it already has such a beautiful and immersive atmosphere as it is just imagine what more it could’ve been if those little glitches were polished, this idea is the thing that bothers me, but it’s definitely the most underrated game I’ve come to play, the amount of videos and people that just crap on the game constantly is really sad it has just become a mob mentality and Im just sad for the people that wanted to buy it but were pushed away from it by videos like these and missed out. The amount of screenshots I’ve taken in the game proves to me how beautiful and immersive it is, like almost every 10 seconds in your gameplay there is a screenshot you can take that is worthy of being a poster or a wallpaper, that just blew me away.

I understand people's concerns, especially after seeing everything people went through, so I've hoped from the beginning that CP2077 would improve and hold support.

Better user systems for crafting, vehicle and weapon/armor modding. Choice of base and really a way to interact with city like having the busines’ in the world be usable… being a business owner and/or investment in businesses that already exist to get better equipment, etc. faction perks, rebuffs, and secondary priority missions that evolve as your rep with a certain group increases.

It was supposed to be the game that “people would be playing for years to come”. Well now it’s just known as the most overhyped piece of garbage in video game history. Cyberpunk 2077 single-handedly lowered the entire gaming community’s expectations for every single game that will come out in the future.

I enjoyed the game when it came out and decided to see how much better it was since all the patching.

I had a 2060 at the time but it died and i replaced it with a 2080. Perhaps the default settings were better in line with the 2060 because i had to drop things down to make it not feel clunky.

[@SouthernGuy5423]

This review, and his previous one, were WILDLY unfair to this game. Anyone who doesn't expect a brand new game to have some bugs in this day and age is smoking crack. Most people I've personally know who played on PC or a late gen console had few or no issues. Almost all of the legitimate complaints came from people trying to play on 1st Gen Xboxes or Ps4s... and not warning people of that ahead of time WAS crappy of CD Project Red. But all of everything else? Unmitigated hate mongering. Cyberpunk 2077 is an amazing game, with a great story and excellent game play. If someone tells you anything other than that, they either never played the game or have terrible taste in video games... or maybe they just dislike open world RPGs. I guess that's possible. But if you've played the Witcher 3 and thought it was awesome and hate Cyberpunk 2077, there's a problem somewhere, and its not in the game. Their storytelling style and gameplay loops are nearly identical.

[@Slick10836]

​@@SouthernGuy5423 all the hate comes from those who thought this game is another GTA! Clearly, players who are unexperienced with good RPG games and also not even touched the Witcher. And I think that this is a bit where CDPR made a poor decision. Letting the hype flow and advertise the game as such. Because the trailer where it's shown that you can customize cars and race and have missions with repercussions and NPC that take into account your actions, attracted the GTA players. Now, I like GTA. I always only played the story, but somehow never got to finish them. Rockstar pulls amazing things in the story direction. But other than that? They're just goofy games with silly to no brain action and I do not want to offend anyone when saying so, but it doesn't really require too much effort and intelligence to play it. Whereas a full scale RPG like Cyberpunk is a bit different approach. At least to me. So it's an interesting debate here. But as you also said, it is an unmitigated hate mongering because it is just the trend of this era. And it will only get worse. Because as everywhere else, in gaming also we just take everything or granted. We do not stop and think of the consequences of our actions. How much it really impacts the people working behind these projects. And what annoys me the most is that each and every one of us is taking part in delivering the same experience on our end. Either if we work for a corporation and we are forced to or we have private business and we want to which is way worse. Isn't it hypocrisy? Because it does sounds like it to me.
