Playing over 800 hours with 3080 PC is the best experience. At launch CP 2077 was easy even at the hardest setting. With the latest patch the game is thankfully more challenging and more polished. But now upgrading items is broken. Fun fun world. I would pay for expansions that would make the city more complete. Night City is a unique gem. I don’t want to play in any ordinary GTA city.

@Bartol Tolić @Bartol Tolić yeah same. No ng+ is a gamebreaker for me in games that rely on exploration, character progression and RPG elements. I won't sacrifice 50+ hours, I have spent on finding the perfect weapons, enhancements, ... and start all over again. I really like the story, but that's the problem with these games. I don't want to sacrifice the progression I've made. Same goes for Horizon FW for now. Would love to already play through the game again, but I don't want to farm all weapon, armor and pouch upgrade materials again.

[@kevdmiller]

Pulling you out of the immersion. EXACTLY. I only saw ONE bug: EVERY tree for a mile displayed on screen, even the ones BEHIND buildings or even the GROUND...all in bright yellow. The world looked like a place to get lost in exploring for weeks before even thinking about story, (even with so little to do) but bright yellow trees showing through the ground from over the horizon just kept pulling me out. My brain just couldn't look past it. I just keep loading it every few months to see if it's fixed. Sounds like I should check in again!

[@oliverphoenix1563]

My biggest issue with the game has nothing to do with glitches. The games story lacks replay ability and has little to no effects based on your choices. Pretty much only several decisions really matter. So many times I’ll go into a mission and by the time I’m done I’ll have experienced the story the same way as everyone else but my character said different words. Only difference most of the time, even the npcs will have the same dialogue most of the time.

[@exysa2798]

Everyone thinks that.

[@TheThirdWorldCitizen]

Yes exactly that, only thinking about the prologue it puts me off from replaying it

[@stevebachochin2038]

Agree.

[@ver5549]

that was pretty much my issue too but to be fair I’m the kind of person that cannot play the same game again until like 5+ months

[@aaronlauretani8921]

I don’t think some people appreciate how much agency there is. Sure, your choices won’t alter the main trajectory of a lot of the most major main story beats a lot of the way, but choices are felt if you look. There are touches everywhere in differing text message references and dialogue references. There are even somewhat obscured or hidden informal choices that aren’t explicitly labeled. There are numerous gameplay approaches to the main quests, roleplaying character choices, and then you’ve got five different possible endings. Then there are consequences reflected everywhere depending on your choices in all the side quests. Side quests will continue or end depending on your choices. Characters will reappear depending on your choices. You’ll get different interactions even just via phone calls or texts depending on your choices. That’s more agency than any large-scale AAA game on the market by a landslide. Yes, in a perfect world, it would be great if there were branching main quests left and right depending on your every choice, but I’m satisfied with what’s there given the haunting themes of mortality and self in the main story.

[@joeivo911]

I’m new to the game and love it. I am one of the people that can look past some of the bugs. In my mind I consider it lore. Like if someone floating in the air I think if that as a prototype cyber mod.

A pity the game wasn't like this at launch, because none of this means shit to me, I was done with this game 13,14 months ago.

just started playing it the other day and Im super impressed, I've seen a fair few bugs, but nothing dramatic. I will say the main mission is very short, I feel like you could run through it in 10 hours, there are a lot of side missions that are really good quality, but even with them I don't see it taking more than 30 hours. people say the main story takes 30 hours but I stopped the main missions like 15 hours in because I was on mission 23 out of 30, now I've done plenty of side missions and I'm only about 20 hours in and level 19, it seems ridiculously short, I'm not trying to go fast.

[@CriticsConfession]

I’ll be honest: no amount of bug fixes, graphical improvements, or new jackets is going to fix the mediocre story and the outright lies they told not even two months before the game released. I remember October of 2020 they said that the game was gonna have companions that you could choose which ones to bring on every mission and the ones you brought would effect the outcome of each. This was two months before the game came out and they were telling lies like that. Nothing they do is gonna fix that, nothing they do is gonna fix the fact that all of the sidequests in the game are just called into you from those dumbass fixer guys instead of just actually wandering around the city and organically discovering civilians with a problem. Imagine if in The Witcher 3 you had an informant in each region who told you “hey, go to this town and kill these guys” instead of stumbling into that town and seeing those guys beating up a farmer or some shit. Nothing they do will fix the broken promises and bad fundamental design choices.

Played the game on PS5 since the update (stopped after a few hours last year). Some little visual and audio issues here and there but I don't feel like the game will explode on me any second now. Also it looks way better. Had a blast playing it. Not perfect, but a lot of fun.

He doesn't know anything in a technical level and should not have said anything, only developers really know how ready the game is. The content was there at launch, the content matters most, and while people were whining that CDPR is "a disgrace" and "worse than EA" because they couldn't run it on their PS, people who had a more bug-free experience and didn't have clouded judgement can tell the game is enjoyable, hype or no hype, bugs or no bugs.

I'm sure the developers are not at fault, but that is not the point, the point is the company lied and they knew how bad the game was and blocked all ps4 and xbox one reviews up until the day after launch, and video game magazines and sites lied too, giving excellent reviews just to change them 3 days later after all the backslash. the game is enjoyable? well after a year, but I bought the game last year and have the bad habit of wanting to play a game when I buy it. so yes, they lied and manipulated, instead of canceling the ps4 version like they should have.

[@djbare9]

As a sandbox this game excels, story is so so and dialogue is the worst paraphrasing I've seen in any RPG I've played, I select one dialogue option and it comes out completely opposite to what I thought it meant, I'm on my fifth character and still finding it confusing at times, it's mostly the sandbox element that keeps me coming back, I'm still finding random things during exploration. Graphics optimization certainly gets a thumbs up from me since 1.5, I'm currently having to play this on an old gaming laptop after my gaming rig died, I'm still able to get a solid 30 fps at near ultra settings with no stutter, and that's on a GTX970M, in my opinion the devs have done a fantastic job in this area. The clipping you showed still exist, there appears to be NPC pathing going to through a wall and the NPC's just walk through and out the other side, looking at it, there is a pavement going that way, I suspect the wall was added after the pathing, another clipping issue are enemies falling inside of objects making it impossible to loot them, it's not really a biggy as far as looting is concerned filling up the inventory is easy in this sandbox, but remind you're playing a simulation. Despite my persona gripes this is still a good game, especially for explorers and looters, and I won't deny the amount of work the devs put into this, it's a monumental effort, I would not have recommended before 1.5 however I certainly recommend it now.

I really hope they keep working on it I love the art design and world of this game it just felt empty I want to try it again if they fix it up

[@exysa2798]

Sadly CD Projekt Red will go bankrupt soon because almost everyone refunded Cyberpunk.

[@sonicman52]

And don’t forget, even the most talented music artists drop dud albums from time to time, even the most visionary filmmakers can drop a critical and/or commercial flop of a movie, and so on and so forth. I think CDPR can bounce back from this with one or two good games 👍🏽

[@ajsalvlk]

I hope so... But cdpr is becoming more like ship of theseus, many talents left the studio.

[@zanderthompson4747]

Dude that’s insane, exact same thing happened to me. I was playing the crap out of eldin ring( love it btw) and I got fatigued with it after 40ish hours. I saw that cyberpunk had a free trial, was on sale and had the next gen update so I decided to give it a try and I’m really enjoy it.

[@godsproject0]

Same man. Have 50H sunk in ER and i think im halfway through but im already tired of it. I feel like the open world setting of ER is not for me...i like my soulsborne games bit more linear

[@RussianDeathstroke]

Starts out real strong but I think the story becomes very convoluted towards the middle/end. Everything with Johnny is pretty good, but outside of that kinda meh story wise.

[@zanderthompson4747]

@@godsproject0 I think the open world formula with FromSoftware’s game design works well it is just quite a time and energy commitment. It’s my favorite game to come out in the last several years, funny enough probably since the Witcher 3

[@zanderthompson4747]

@@RussianDeathstrokeJust finished cyberpunk today and I thought it seemed somewhat rushed, but like you said the stuff with Johnny was very novel and up my alley.

[@ikGREENY]

I care about the end of the story for sure, and many games such as New Vegas have done it right. Just because you don’t care about something doesn’t make it objectively unimportant lmao. Also, Skyrim doesn’t end when you complete the main quests……

Playing it again on PC, my favorite thing changed (fixed) is driving!

[@andytaylor160]

Picked it up on series X in the sale and I’ve logged 106 hours so far. It’s fantastic

[@superstretch215]

I just bought this game for like $20 or something. I was completely on the hype train before launch, but after witnessing that disaster I decided to wait until it was fixed. I've only spent a few hrs playing, but I've thoroughly enjoyed my time. There are def a few little glitches here and there, but nothing too crazy.

[@gamingtonight1526]

So many games break immersion like CP2077. Skyrim, X-Com 1 and 2, Civilization VI and on and on. But boy! CP2077 Gets WAY more attention for its small issues! But if Luke got what he wanted, you would need a PC that doesn't exist today. Enter every building? Forget it!

[@johnblaze8092]

For its small issues..one of their bug fix patches fixed over 500 bugs. That's not even mentioning all the lies, the fake game play reveal and all the rest of the crap that came with it. So now they downgraded the visuals so that it runs on old gen consoles and everyone thinks it redeemed itself. lmao!

[@Bee_Mavrick]

Most buildings will make youfall through the floor, its better they're locked for now

[@ChromaJune]

I played CP2077 personally for the first time today on PC (though i'm highly aware of the game's issues thus far). It looks very nice and seems to play relatively smoothly, but T-posing models and other mild issues are still present.

[@aaronlauretani8921]

This game used to torment me. For every touching or charming moment, my immersion would be broken by something embarrassing. Now it’s one of my favorite games period. Providing a stronger foundation has also made modding better than ever.

[@kylefischer3013]

On my first run of CP2077 I had a major issue with the ending(s) and how you literally can’t save yourself. It made the whole thing feel retroactively pointless. But now I’ve come to realize that, while it was a risky choice, it gets the moral of the story across in a way that would have felt hollow if you could actually prevent your death. Death comes for us all, it’s the way you choose to spend the millions of moments preceding it that makes your life meaningful. Cyberpunks story isn’t meaningful because of the desperate attempts you make to extend your life in the main story. The side quests ARE the story. The relationships you build and choices you make along the way are what make your time with the game feel like it mattered.

[@Bee_Mavrick]

Once I found out I was going to die no matter what, I didn't want to comeback. I killed myself after I finished everything in game and died a legend hopefully turned into myth after a few years. My second play I gave my body to Johnny, and then my third I kept my body but stormed arasaka by myself. And then the rest with everyone else. It's rather sad most like Rouge and Saul die in the end so I hope the pt I saved them in 2ill have them in other dlc.

Haven’t watch the video yet but I literally bought the game a week ago and was wondering when you were gonna post a “this game is so litty now” video

[@RpgCrow]

Being a day one adopter who played 10 hours at launch. I'm glad the games getting a second life While my experience was a little buggy (played on Xbox one x) I thought the game was great and saw the potential behind the buggy version. Glad the main game is Playable hopefully this second life is good to the game and we get some decent expansions and new story content. I remember hearing that they had a whole underground area that was as big as night city. Bringing that into the game would be a decent expansion

[@KraljHD]

There are a tons of core design issues that clash with their "promise". There is absolutely no way they can keep it because they'd need to rework the whole game.

I am not a professional gamer or anything but I love playing good single player games. I think Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the greatest games I have ever played. i

[@Sandlund93]

The only trouble I had on launch on PS4 Pro were some rare glitches where drops fell through stairs and such and became unlootable. Maybe I was lucky but I don´t think I would experience such a huge difference now, seeing as my original experience was quite decent. Btw, there are many different endings in the game, there doesn´t seem to be a canon ending yet. It sounded like you didn´t know that at the end of the video.

[@MissBubbles]

I played the game when it first launched on PS5 but was not able to connect with it. However, even when PS offered refunds for the digital version, I still kept my copy cause I had hope it will connect with me. I think I need to go back and give it one more chance just to see if it clicks this time.

[@Icipher353]

I played after 1.5 and only had one crash in 105hrs and a few graphical glitches, and had a blast playing it. The story and the soundtrack are both fantastic, so if they can iron out a few more of the gameplay kinks, it should stand up pretty well going forward.

[@ClellBiggs]

This makes me happy. I always liked the game. I'm going to have to DL the patch and give it a go.

[@grichard1585]

I played from day one on a 3 yr old AMD PC and have kept going back again and again because I love this world. I've racked up 584 hours as of today. Yes there are a few floating trashbags but nothing like the problems you talk about. I set it on Ultra (1080p) and average 68 -70 fps. My gpu is a mid-range Radeon 5700xt

[@takeshikovacks6708]

Got it for 33 Australian $ a few days after patch 1.5, was very surprised by the quality that was presented to me, however, I found a few game breaking bugs involving the main quest phone calls characters make to v being bugged and the main quests being unable to start. Researched it and apparently cd red had fixed it (which is evidently not true) so I then spent a solid 3 hrs trying to figure out how to fix it. Managed to fix it in the end but is still pretty appalling game breaking bugs such as those are still in the game after years of fixes. (PS5 version)

It’s like the best just okay game I’ve ever played. I’m only half way through though. I don’t get headaches with it like I did the first time around though, so that’s a huge improvement definitely.

Everyone wants to hate CDPR now, but, at the end of the day, they still created The Witcher trilogy, deserve atleast *some* goodwill for that achievement, and still have the potential to make more great games. This is *only* their fourth video game release and they seem to have actually realized how badly they fucked up this release and, consequently, their reputation. They shouldn’t be written off. Especially since when they come out with a good game again, a lot of the current naysayers will be back on CDPR’s dick lol
