I stupidly preordered this game after one of the delay announcements because I stupidly believed that CDPR was making good on their promises. Then I stupidly didn't ask for a refund in the 30 day window. I don't have an excuse for that other than sheer laziness. You would think that I would have learned my lesson when I preordered Rome Total War 2 in 2014...
But the train of stupid continued when I bought a 3090 and I don't even own a g-sync compatible monitor.
The main point of all of this is, is it safe to play CyberPunk yet or do I need to keep waiting?
They fixed the memory bug but it still isn't what I'd call stable, still has weird texture bugs, braindead ai and missing features. It doesn't fix the story lazily throwing in religious and spiritual discussion with no connection (Crucifying a guy for a BD), characters who address V and not you the player (there's one point where V talks to a doll about losing his/her identiy and it would work real well if I was roleplaying ala Revan or the Currier but it's just press X to feel anxious there) and ham fisted social issues (Claire is a tranny that's revealed in a throwaway line that doesn't mean anything. "She" then proceeds to ram the supposed guy who killed "her" husband off the road and while he sits there and bleeds out "she's" ranting and raving about how bad he is).
The game is busted beyond the bugs, the basic questline and story doesn't engage the player for the simple fact they promised an RPG but delivered an action adventure.
And the thing is, CDPR have been tipping this way for awhile, Witcher 1 was a pure RPG, 2 dropped alot of stuff but still had some elements, 3 was a tipping point, less RPG and even less quest outcomes but combat, characters, story and world managed to save it. This is a Bethesda result of cutting so much off the RPG tree they essentially don't have an RPG anymore, only one that looks like it.
You're not to blame, we were all blinded by the light, ME3, NMS, FO4, and this have all caught me.
t. someone who played it so you don't have to.
I bought into the initial hype, but when I saw they changed its descriptor tag from RPG to action adventure I knew I was going to be disappointed.
Even having never played it, this is why I'd 100% recommend avoiding it. These aren't the kinds of issues that can be solved with a few patches.
stick to subs that call everything shit per default because the mongs on reddit will make you believe even the most ridiculous crapfest is a diamond in the rough?
i keep reading the nintendo subs just to remind me of how idiotic ppl can be, before trusting any user-reviews.
The Cyberpunk sub had a meltdown over how fucked it was for like a month.....
Unrelated but you just reminded me how goddamned glorious Monster is.
Yes!
Retards gonna retard.
Dis is not de wae.
Which is why you wait a month after release, regardless of cool swag that comes with it.
what is broken? theres not even anything resembling a game in there outside the missions :P
Nothing. Apparently we just consoom.
Calling 60 perfect, what a pleb. I hope everyone here pirated too, so to not give sjws money.
I hope you get set on fire.
I hope your ps4 sets on fire so you can understand. 144hz monitors are cheap these days, friend.
PC mods have fixed a bunch of problems but it's still kind of a mess and modders haven't been able to fix or put things in that were supposed to be in the game but weren't....then CDPR got hacked and their data stolen and ransomed.
I really didn't have any problems with it on PC. A handful of funny bugs that you find in most open world games like a random T-posing NPC or their pathing getting funky but nothing that ruined my actual play in the 60~ hours it took to get bored right before finishing the story.
The meme about how broken it is is bigger than how broken it actually was (on PC, console was fucked). Every Bethesda/Obsidian game gave me exponentially more breaking bugs and problems.
Its still not a great game. Filled with generic padding sidequests (a shame because the other half of them are good), a story trying way too hard to make you feel, and combat that felt outdated two generations ago. But its not the worst either.
I never had issues with it.
I really think the hate surrounding this game is exaggerated. I will admit that I didn't have any expectations going into it so I couldn't be disappointed, but in my opinion it's a pretty good open world game, just not the game that people were expecting.
One thing that continues to impress me is the quality of the map, despite its impressive size. I can't believe how many buildings you can go into and out of, seamlessly, and how 'lived in' the world feels. In most open world games, I start to notice copy-pasting of assets after awhile, but Cyberpunk manages to keep things varied enough that the illusion isn't broken (for me, anyway). If I had to pick one thing that does bother me it would be the traffic AI, or lack thereof. It makes it hard to cruise around the city when the traffic lights don't really work.
Overall I think it's a game that tripped over its ambition, but at least it's trying to be something with a soul to it, unlike Ubisoft or EA's more polished open worlds.
Have mods added back in the advertised class system yet? Why would they license a pen and paper RPG system and fail to include most of it...
For fuck sake the idiocy of hate surrounding this game. Almost to 400 hours. No crashes. Two graphical glitches that didn't impact gameplay at all.
Learn to image and re-image your PC and don't install any bullshit to your PC that isn't required. I don't even install GeForce Experience.
Also... Intel.
