CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 + Phantom Liberty Expansion Thread

care to check one thing for me? On my tech run I never gotten to unlock legendary recipes. I was surprised to find out that some iconic weapons do not get legendary upgrade. Can you check if its unlocked this way?
I recall that few guns received such treatment, only one I can remember is lizzy gun.

Iconic weapons get 1 level of quality upgrading from crafting. So purples can become orange, blues can become purple, etc. They can't go further than that.

Don't think that's true, at least not for all of them. Overwatch for example can be upgraded twice.

Hm, that could be - I had it at legendary, did it start at rare? I don't remember anymore. I just know that I couldn't take the Lizzie pistol above epic (purple). Maybe there are additional schematics to find, some of them could be different, or maybe some of them are bugged.

The Overwatch thing makes sense though because I had gotten the idea when playing that all iconics could go to legendary and was a bit bummed when I found that wasn't true.

According to this, CP77 has had 2 million copies refunded: https://youtu.be/hNYIe7Aj2zw

Some devs DREAM of selling 2 million lmao Cyberpunk dumbesterfire is just too good.

yeah, for me lizzie was favourite and was quite bummed when I couldnt upgrade it. Obviously I still finished game fine running mediocre version

It isn't just boring, its pretty useless, especially by the time you unlock it if you don't use any exploits... But hang on, weren't you one of those defending Fallout 76 back in the day? :S

Yep, Overwatch is Rare in my game. So maybe not all, but Iconics can be upgraded more then once.

Edit: apparently Lizzie's Gun and Skippy are some of the few weapons that cannot be upgraded to Legendary. Possibly due to a bug.

It also has a fuck ton of "+X% to Y" perks.

"Hard Bargain - Buying and selling prices at vendors are better."

"Travel Agent - Pay 30% fewer caps when fast travelling. "

Stop cherry picking mah dude, Fallout 76 is just as bad if not worse

 

[Fedora Master]

Imagine citing fucking Fallout 76 as an example of good design.

After finding out a sneaky way to level crafting in 5 mins, I did it FOR SCIENCE to see what clothing blueprints get unlocked as "reward".
Saying that I was mildy disappointed is an understatement.
I expected something speshul, or at least a color you do not get in shops, but... nope.
Just standard stuff you can buy anyways. In colors only a color blind person would wear.
And it's not even randomized, my game froze so I had to do it again I did it a second time FOR SCIENCE.

Imagine the joy on a consoletard's face after he spent hours leveling it.

Sad.

Leveling the crafting skill unlocked nothing of value for me. For weapons it only added the basic versions you can find in the wild. Interestingly, the carnage shotgun ONLY unlocked as legendary spec from it...
And iconic clothing was not unlocked AT ALL. Even if you already have it/find it/disassemble it. Nada. Guess you are stuck with what you pick up.

As for weapons, AFAIK the skill itself does not seem to unlock higher versions of iconic weapons. Some weapons just don't have legendary versions, which is a weird design deci--- who are we kidding, it's most likely a bug.

TLDR: Don't bother leveling crafting, nothing of value gets added. Just pick the 3 perks and call it a day.

Why don't they hire these modding teams instead of whatever backwater retards they had do the game.

Oviously because they can't be sure they will fill divercity quota like that.

 

[Latelistener]

Yeah, but why would they work for CDP? Judging from what I gathered over the years it's a shitty place to work at.

Gamedev generally is like that, but there are better places.

Better how? Maybe to someone who's passionate about shooters they'd be just as happy putting out the next doom, ut, battlefield or whatever.

The CDPR devs who could do better elsewhere but were putting up with the sacrifices required because they were passionate about the kind of games CDPR made are not gonna feel the same way about bringing to life Todd's next little Retardolandia, Ubisoft's next collectible neurectomy or Biobsidian's next racist freakshow. Inxile and the Disco Elysium guys are the only other ones not putting out abhorrent crap in their games but those are hardly comparable experiences to cdpr's games.

Closest fit would be warhorse.

Passion,bwahahahah.

They have no choice.They aren't competent enough to be hired for senior jobs and are too expensive to be hired for junior jobs.
Those that left are just changing one crunch for another.
So they either crunch or clean toilets at potato McDonald's.

 

[Lambach]

I don't understand why anyone would work for any large, specially AAA, vidya company. Years and years of verified horror stories don't seem to deter them, so I can only guess they're idiots who "follow their passion" or they're not good enough to be hired anywhere else. For a software developer/engineer worth a damn, working at a vidya company is probably the worst choice you can make, both financially and in terms of job satisfaction (unless you get hired into a senior position straight away, not sure about that).

You're also surrounded by a metric boatload of people of who are at your level of knowledge or better, making you entirely expendable, unlike working software dev for a company that itself has nothing to do with software, where you're often treated like minor royalty.

Cause they got no choice.
It College grads that know jack shit can:
-Either try to get into proper it stuff like banks and big corps,which they have no chance unless they have good contacts and good knowledge
-Try to do web shit and get told they are overqualified(too expensive)
-Solo freelance work and realize how hard is it to manage your own business
Vidya is their only choice and they love the prospect of working on games.The biggest scouts that require almost zero knowledge on campuses are vidya scouts.
Everybody else is looking for talent.

Do some systems programming. Gamedev is the bottom of the barrel, worse than webdev.

System programming requires C and it's not exclusive with gamedev: you can design a game engine as a OS (in fact most engines do that).

Because then they can put it on their CV.
