Not sure if you studied journalism or had experience in it but your gaming news reports around Cyberpunk and anything CDPR has always been objective, calm, cool, rational and (my personal favorite) non-speculative. I've been following your channel since patch 1.3 and you've always only reported the facts of the matter and been quick to declare what information is absent. Please continue keeping your good standard for gaming journalism. Your channel is well on its way to 1m+ subs if you keep your quality going like this.

[@LastKnownMeal]

Thank you, glad you like the channel. I studied production and worked a bit in news sector that's where I learned it. Cheers!

[@kaushalsuvarna5156]

Also it was necessary after the hype train for Cyberpunk caused tangible damage to the game's reception, so many things were mistranslated or downright wishful and falsely reported

[@kamilkrupinski1793]

I still remember the moment I`ve seen first W3 trailer "She`s returned, Geralt." And I already know that my beloved Zirael is BACK. I yelled with joy. I`m so ready to do the same when first teaser of W4 appears. "After all these years."

[@KarlRock]

I’m excited! Thanks for the updates.

[@LastKnownMeal]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielstone2541]

Hopefully they actually release actually patches that fixes and addresses bugs and glitches they claimed to fixed but so far I'm playing anything that isn't CDPR published or developed and I have over 700 hours dlc only brought me back for a day and realizing this the obly dlc we're getting I just stop doing the dlc after rescuing Myers for me cyberpunk is literally a mid level driving simulator and factions are still aren't fleshed out I would rather see more quests involve Aldecaldos or getting a random call from Judy Panam Rivers and other giving you a time limit quest to save their members or deliver something but what we get is "airdrops" when you hear that I bet you assume airdrops across night city that would have given CDPR to show tyger claws vs moxs or Tinos vs malestrom or a huge melee but nah we get the basic things like even the transmog system is basic compared to AC Odyssey to Gotham knights only thing saving cyberpunk 2077 is the world and the characters

[@ozmanice7584]

Cyberpunk had a big imprint on games. I see Cyberpunk 2077 as a game that can be buiton. If they maintain dlc everything is good, a new area. Evetime you play it you get a different experiece. Are many good games out there but this combination of deus ex, watch dogs, and dinamic storymod makes it unique. It's fun as hell. I like witcher when I was younger, Cyberpunk haves a mature movie vibe. Very few games do that. I had no ideea that what I will do in something like one, will ahve impact to the intire game. This one need to come with a owner manual.

Not only the investors don't understand communities, they also don't understand the reputation long term impact on a company and of course... Being long term logic one can't expect investors to understand that

[@LastKnownMeal]

Exactly, not a lot of studios can afford a game to fail, if it does, then for the next project cycle you have to pray it works otherwise funds run out and then its over.

[@labret2]

Reputation means nothing. Whatever CDPR will release, you are gonna buy it, cause it's still gonna be better than 99% of other games.

Dude that's like what's wrong with companies 1o1 most ppl that run shit have the understanding capacity of a cactus plant and self awareness of a goldfish glad CDPR'S rep turned out the way it did no one will forget the cyberpunks launch disaster, but we certainly have forgiven them at least I did for sure they went above and beyond with fixing the game and their image I just don't want them to turn out like Techland.

[@Notazaku]

They did

[@NoName-ym5zj]

[@Velral]

Some good news! Thanks for covering the Investor call! CDPR supported Cyberpunk 2077 well enough after launch. Sure, those "missing" features won't come out, but at least they gave us metro system and some small vehicle recolouring if nothing else. They can put 3rd person, Crystal Palace quests, dual wielding weapons, new game+, better, visible cyberware etc. in the next game. Also CDPR released Redkit for free and they're keeping it free is a big win for everyone. Hope to see some fun mods for Witcher 3 soon. I think the next witcher game could come out in late 2026 or early 2027, since they're working on it since 2022. I know, at that time they were at pre-production. Still it's possible that they can work faster on Unreal 5 vs Red Engine, especially with Epic's software engineer support. They just have to make sure to release it when it's 100% ready and with as few bugs as possible. CDPR "saved" Cyberpunk with that large 120+ million dollar investment on bug and stability fixes, but it'd be much better for them and every gamer if that money went to the real development and not bug fixing. The investors also need to chill out and let them work. We don't need another rough launch for the 4th Witcher just to sell it on last-gen consoles, right? If it takes that much time, maybe they should develop it for the next-gen only (PS6 and NextBox instead of the current console gen) and make PS5/Xbox Series X versions after the main game is finished.

[@Choom2077]

Excellent report. Thank you. Thumbs up and subbed.

It’s over for Cyberpunk 2077 for now but I would still like some lore videos to tie us over.

[@paleion0]

One scenario I can see happening is that when Nvidia officially debuts RTX 50, DLSS 4.0 will be shown and Cyberpunk used as a showcase for them. That could put some buzz back into Cyberpunk and get some more sales.

[@hishamhassan6426]

Excellent update on CDPR as expected of U sir. Thanx a Lot

[@OnefortheAges-u1c]

I remember buying the expansion and choose cure & listening to V saying no, no this isn’t my life. In disbelief. It was a cool concept but I checked the expansion/De-installed it and basically just enjoyed the without it. I prefer Star ending. No one can predict the future of V’s out like they did in the expansion. But, I understand the developers were telling the story. I feel we, as gamers have the right to enjoy the game however you like. Very informative upload. Respect 🫡

[@valravn246]

You know you can still choose other endings without uninstalling the expansion right? 💀

[@Dexion845]

[@AB-fr2ei]

I hope CDPR will release a PS5 Pro patch for the witcher 3

[@Ray-dl5mp]

It’s really too bad they didn’t add the gameplay sliders that Starfield did. That is one thing really missing from Cyberpunk. Game is way too easy on normal or hard once you play the game a decent amount. Still super fun on a big 4k screen with dlss, but yea…I think the gameplay would be more addicting if you could adjust the difficulty more. But I just leaned there is a very hard mode so I’ll try that. I still think we should have more gameplay sliders. They could have added more survival stuff, different driving / being on foot sliders, etc.

[@robertcinardi8552]

Cyberpunk 2077 needs infinitely replayable NG+ and mods on console badly.

[@sixx2683]

so badly....you can get a ng+ experience with mods on pc but is not the same thing....and consoles don't have that

[@jekw23]

You get so overpowered on a normal playthrough and can respec so I don’t see what a ng+ would give anyone that isn’t already there.

@@newnamesameperson397 Yeah, it's a shame. I see them selling the game with the expansion on the same disc for consoles. Even with the added content, it's still way shorter than Witcher 3 base game.

2.1 is Living proof of a lesson learned hahaha but before making the sequel they should implement online to see how they can improve it for the next game yfm

[@etherealdreamerart]

@Ijustpullingeneral Let's hope they don't repeat the same mistake for Orion. Take their time and don't announce any release date until the game is 99% finished. They had to cancel the online features to fix the game. Most definitely multi-player will be a feature for Orion whenever it releases.

[@Ijustpullingeneral]

@@etherealdreamerart I didn’t know they canceled it to fix the game, they should’ve released it already the game is smooth.. they 100% should polish the game before a reveal, if they do it right with the online mode I could DEFINITELY see CDPR competing with the grand theft auto series

[@etherealdreamerart]

@Ijustpullingeneral Yeah they were gonna have more than one expansion and a online mode but sadly got cancelled because they released the game in a bad state. Yes this is huge learning lesson to make Orion even better out the gate. Right now Orion is in the concept phase. Soon it will enter pre production when they hire more devs for CDPR North America.

[@holysecret2]

I'm still not feeling passionate about Cyberpunk 2077 because it's not the RPG experience we were initially promised. It's still a good game though. I am also not giving CDPR any benefit of the doubt or forgiveness until they manage their next game properly, actually release that "when it's ready", and prove that they are more loyal to the players than the shareholders, and that they learn from their mistakes.

I think in June 2025 we can expect a teaser or a trailer with the 2026 release date at the end, (probably delayed until 2027 although IMHO the best thing CDPR could do it's making an announcement a la Kingdom Come Deliverance II, very, very close to the actual release date. Regardin Cyberpunk, I wouldn't expect anything about Orion until AT LEAST 2030.

@@daytimelantern6570 they started working on it long time ago now, as of 2021 at least post Cyberpunk launch, when a small team started to create the base, story, concept, etc, so now that they have 400 developers the game its already being crafted. Cyberpunk took 7 yeara, but only when Blood and Wine was released all the manpower force of the company was moved to Cyberpunk development, so actually its more like 3 years creating the base and 4 years creating the game. But that was a new IP, Witcher it’s less complicated for them, that’s why I think it could be possible.

Its BS that they never added Crystal palace into the game even though its talked about all the time, In all honesty while the game was great I fee like what we got in the end was a great building block for more content but oh well. Its kind of sad no original IP is being worked on just more of the same now in UE5

[@yorkipudd1728]

@@LastKnownMeal I know it sounds daft, but the one thing UE5 will allow them is a scope/scale without boundaries. Every average game these days with a few decent devs can hammer out a stunning and expansive landscape, so in the hands of CDPR with their own custom tech layered on top, we may get multiple cities over a huge landmass. I kind of see Cyberpunk and the expansion as the last 'exam' CDPR needed to test themselves with, and feel that they eventually passed, after a few resits. Now each and every team has been through the ringer, brutally sliced and diced publicly, that these new games quality wise will be like jumping from The Witcher1 to TW3 in one cycle. Here's hoping!

CDPR spent a lot of time trying to fix the game, and in my experience (only stepped in at 2.0, just before PL) Cyberpunk 2077 is simply a great game with smooth gameplay, a beautiful world, and a brilliant story I will never forget.
