Wainy316 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Well it doesn’t seem like the fully immersive RPG I was expecting. I don’t have any interest or urge to do anything outside the main story. The main quest line is definitely keeping me interested but I just feel like I’m paying a story driven action game at the mo.

Chindie Posted December 15, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2020 The Digital Foundry analysis videos on this are interesting. It's pretty clear that the game has been poorly optimised for the last gen consoles, with the base consoles being barely able to play it at an acceptable standard (especially Xbox One). It might be the case that this is simply too heavy for those consoles but CDPR have clearly decided they needed the sales from the last gen. The boosted consoles are better but still not great. The new consoles do better but there's even some weird stuff there. The Series X seems to have improved visuals and boosts things like crowd density, but runs worse than the PS5, which has a pretty solid framerate. On a powerful PC it's stunning, but even there it's got lots of niggly bugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most damning thing is they lied about it. Quote “Speaking earlier this week on Wednesday (and transcribed by Seeking Alpha), Kaciński said that Cyberpunk 2077's performance on the base PS4 and Xbox One consoles is "surprisingly good, I would say, for such a huge world." The CEO went on to say that although the performance on these base consoles is lower than their "pro" counterparts (the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X), it's still surprisingly good.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2020/12/14/cdpr-apologizes-for-hiding-cyberpunk-2077s-horrible-last-gen-performance/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although having read the reviews and general backlash, it seems even with the whistles and bells it's still a missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the backlash you'd hope the devs are now forced into ironing out the bugs and adding in more content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Really is pretty ridiculous how many bugs there are when they postponed the release date as much as they did. I have been looking forward to playing it, but not until all these are hashed out, however long that may be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I've seen it said elsewhere, but it really is the case the needs a No Man's Sky level of 'after release care' from the devs to get it back on track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I'd feel sorry for them if they hadn't tried to rig the review process and cover up the problems to con people in to buying a broken game. CDPR are pretty much dead to me. Vote with your wallet. Edited December 18, 2020 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMS is the reason that, as much as this looked like something I would absolutely love, I was happy to wait and see. Once bitten, etc. Looks like the right call and I may now even hold off until I go next-gen, whenever that winds up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of niggles but no worse than New Vegas was. Playing this on PS4 as well and in the same boat. It definitely has the niggles but I've only had it crash once, maybe twice. I've not got that far through it (1/2 main missions and a few side missions) and I am just finding it fun to go around. I think what doesn't help is that the controls and level up system are not standard so it has taken me a little to get around it but think I have got my head around it. The OH though is cracking through the game and she is absolutely loving it. To be honest, if you can look past the bugs, I think there is a pretty decent game there.

Stevo985 Posted December 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2020 Another example of something I hate about modern gaming. Obviously being able to patch games and release updates and add content etc is amazing. But companies shouldn't be allowed to release games that blatantly are not finished and just fix it later. It's bullshit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
