Cyberpunk - CD Project Red

Loved it, one of the best games I have played. I have put it aside and await a couple patches and the xbox series x becoming available and then I'll dive back in and play it again for hopefully an even better experience.

Ya it makes a lot of sense after reading that. Initially thought it was bs but forgot the work from home element.

This can also be how they got hit: working from home employee drops the company VPN to, let's say, entertain themselves on dodgy sites.

Has anyone run into a bug in the mission

Chippin in

I have the first part completed and now waiting on a call and it has not come, only thing I have not done is skip time but I'm not sure it will work.

Its the last mission I have before going to the point of no return.

Cordell

I remember the mission but I don't remember any issue with it.
But I had other missions that were stuck, or progressed only after the next mission was triggered, one of the fixers went like that, I was only getting the mission complete phone call and reward when I was approaching another one that belonged to the same fixer.

Finished this at the weekend. I rather enjoyed it overall. The overarching main mission line is pretty good (not amazing, not terrible) but does have a bit of satisfaction to it. The side missions really are where the colour is in this game though, thoroughly enjoyed the variety they provided. Think I put about 60 hours into it in total and none of that felt particularly empty or wasted.

Got the ending where

Johnny and Alt break into Arasaka tower, which I thought provided great closure to their story. At the end I chose to let Johnny join Alt while V continues on solo (for a while at least). The last scene where you're shooting through space to the space casino certainly leaves plenty of options for expanding on the story.

Overall, probably a 7.5/10. Would be a 8.5 without the bugs that become prolific the further you get into the game.

Play the other endings and make sure you are super buddies with desert girl and vr porn girl.

I got a lend of this to play on my OG PS4. I was prepared for it to be janky and whatnot, but it crashed during the install, and now, having installed, it can't get as far as the title screen. Keeps crashing giving the CE-34878-0 error. So, should I abandon any hope of playing it? Or is there some tinkering with settings that can be done? Thanks

Cordell

It is bad, but not THAT bad
So if it crashed during install and it cannot even start it may be something wrong with the installation or even with your PS4.

Nothing wrong with my PS4, apart from it being old. It installed and asked for the play disc, but then wouldn't load. I'm install it again though so we'll try that.

You should have prepared yourself for it not to work - it doesn't work which is why everyone was refunded.

Yes my very low expectations were even too high, it seems...

Cordell

From what I heard so far it's really bad on base PS4 and XBO, but it runs. It's runs slow, with crashes and streaming issues, but you should be able to play it, even though it's going to be a painful experience.

Finding this to be fairly uninspired so far, about eight hours in. Loads of exposition and talking, bewildering menu system, bullet sponge enemies, stealth bits pinched from Watch Dogs 2 but not at all intuitive. Also started playing on Hard but was getting killed a lot so changed to Normal and now it feels a little too easy. The world is cool but the gameplay seems a bit Poundsaver Far Cry.

Cordell

You had very little issues on PS4 because you stopped playing

Cyberpunk got nominated for 4 BAFTA Game awards:
Artistic Achievement
Narrative
Performer in a leading role (CHERAMI LEIGH, Female V)
Performer in a supporting role (CARLA TASSARA, Judy)

It's probably unlikely to win any of them, but still interesting, nonetheless.
I do agree that female V was the best lead performance, but male V and Keanu Reeves must be disappointed.

Cordell

There was nothing special about male V and Keanu just read his lines, but Judy was a very memorable character.

SomeSayKos

I liked the Keanu Reeves performance. He played it like a cringey edgelord which i thought really worked given the context of the character and the world.

My thoughts exactly. The characters talk and behave by what they think is cool in their world. Not ours.

Markitron

I played about 8 hours, right up to the end of the prologue, and female V and Keanu were pretty good IMO.

Waiting for the proper PS5 version to crack on with the rest of the game.

But he wasn't a mere cringey edgelord, he was a narcissistic psycho that nuked a building just because he thought it was the right thing to do.

With all the rumours about large amounts of the game being chopped, I wonder if the economy was predicated on a much longer game. I'm a scrooge so I did bother selling all I could. Something I regard as a flaw/bug is that one of the abilities you can choose early on is to automatically convert junk into resources. I chose that early on before encountering junk items that were worth a considerable $750 They should have had a an on/off toggle for that.

Still, by the end of the game I could afford any car or thing I wanted, but once you get that calebsomething there isn't much point. They should knock at least a zero off the vehicle prices, because by the time you can afford them, you no longer need them due to the reward ones.

The other flaw is not having a bumper vision option when driving an enclosed vehicle. That is because in the car you are teeny weenie little midget who can barely see over the steering wheel, so you are completely blind to the road configuration ahead if you are approaching a decline in the road or are cresting a rise. Driving a vehicle from above and behind, third person, has always sucked in every game that has it.

These faults ensure that anyone who wants to get around quickly probably chooses a bike as their main form of transport.

It would be amazing if they continue working on the game so it becomes what was originally intended. The map is so amazing it feels only two thirds used, which I think reflects the original intent of a longer game with greater scope. A third should be free due to the launch problems and bugs, but I'd pay for an expansion beyond that.

You really are left wondering about the cuts and what got left on the long finger.

They seem intent on going with a minimum number of staff at CDPR. That leak of all their files won't help when it comes to other studios headhunting. Keeping it small, a revisist to the gangs. Flesh them out more. I don't think that 'Americas army' gang was fleshed out in the lore and it shows in the game. They in particular need a regig and a revisit, from the clothing up. Any type of of story format that brings a deeper look at the gangs.

I adore the gang minding the base' aspect, it's a contstant empty key when you know for definate that there will ony be a sparse few of the same again. 15 more quality attack/infiltrate the base missions.

Another 2 big long missions, similar to the Nakimura snipers mission with boss battles and all the rest.

Heafty transport. I don't care if it's to the moon, too some smaller city via flying/sea cargo cantainers. Something to take a long trip on and a ton of missions to go with it. Will they do it? I don't know.

The ability to sit down. It's so remis to not have that abilty in the game. CDPR are missing out on about 100,000 tweets of people just saying they are sitting somewhere taking in the view. There are people right now on deviant art just playing with the camera editor and mods placeing their own characters sitting around in the prescipted spots. That's how bad this is. That's first patch material before any add-on

I liked the game on the whole, but the shoddiness of the crafting system was one of the most jarring for me, especially after TW3 where I immensely enjoyed grinding away for certain swords, armor, potions, decoctions, etc. In this it just felt incredibly boring, limited, un-immersive, and frankly just not worth the effort. I checked back in on it a few times while playing, but never went beyond the initial 2-3 items I crafted early on if I recall.
