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

[TheEntitledOne]

Personally, I don't see all the problems with driving, I don't crash more than in any GTA. But again, I drive like shit in any game.

Best analysis so far

Nope, that would be this, I remind.

As of english reviews, at least.
A couple of russian reviews gave cp2077 quite a tasteful roasting, even torpedoed the "muh story/writing" argument.

This is definitely inferior to the other review.

Also, the guy is walking proof that no matter how powerful PC you give to a mouthbreather lardass grossly overestimating his own intelligence, in other words the average gamer with a "news & opinions" youtube channel, he will still manage to have technical problems with a PC game. He goes on how it was running badly on his RTX 3090 for fuck's sake. Well, he does look like someone who buys an RTX 3090 card for gaming.

That's the guys who says that The Witcher 3 is like Skyrim but with more nudity and without the fun

Ok, ok, now follow me for a second:

1. He talks for hours about Polish videogames:

3. He sips from a giant mug:

Guys... I think we found Maxie

Ah, I see. Thanks!

He is unintentionally right about one thing though - it's time for game developers to stop shitting out different-themed Oblivions.

Gamers themselves have gotten over it - ironically, by means of Witcher 3...

1.At least he pronounces words, not bemoans them like emoknowsworst.
2.Game really stresses hardware a lot with RTX all on psycho, RTX 3090 not discluded.

In our region, RTX 3080 prices have crawled dangerously closed to RTX 3090 ones due to mining schizos buying all the GPUs.
So, it's not as retarded as it seems.

By it drives much better you still mean it handles like shit, right? The only thing in this game that I found somewhat bearable and that can be used as a means of transport are the motorcycles. It is still a bit weird to go 160mph then press brake 20m before a 90 degree turn and get it perfectly but you still are able to get the hang of it after a few hours. As for the cars, in terms of annoyance, their handling is only comparable with that of the horses in RDR.

Try that Mizutani Shion "Coyote". It accelerates quickly, brakes pretty much instantly, plus you can drive very narrow curves. And, unlike most Quadras, it's basically glued to the road. Did I mention it goes 199-200? The only downside here is the shitty first person view. The camera should be a bit higher.

Other than that, yes, the motorbikes are in general better than cars. It comes with the form factor.

He is right about something else too -- he repeats that worn out complaint "There is a huge city but apart from X, Y and Z, there is not a whole lot to do." The moral: only create game worlds proportional to the amount of content you have. Don't spend years making a multi-district megalopolopolis if your main quest takes 20 hours to finish, and there isn't much else of note. In other words - set the "Horizon of expectation" correctly.

where's the sseth review

SSeth needs to stick to city builders and old 90's games.
Mandalore may have 2000-2010 with some exceptions, SSeth gets 1990-1999 with some exceptions.

Cars are too slidey and fly like crazy even on low speed. I guess this game has some sort of gravity/downforce issue (I wouldn't be suprised if it was another bug) or just needs polishing. Also vmax is too low but that's more because the engine would crash if it was put under heavy load of the assets. The rest is excellent, it actually made me realize most of the cars in GTA are glued to the ground, even stuff like huge trucks, vans or family sedans which should drive like an ass. Oh and the camera is too low in FPP, half the screen is car dashboard making people only drive bikes in FPP. Actually car handling is one the strongest points of the game bar small annoyances.

They sell because the alternative is nothing.
Witcher 3 sold so well because it was different. It may have many aspects that the codex hates, but it still retained a lot of its cRPG roots which were -- completely unsurprising to many here -- very popular with normies.
Normies don't know what they want until they see it. To understand the current issue with the gaming industry, listen to Frank Zappa on the issue with the music industry:

If you actually listen to this idiot he cites the disproven Reddit hoax about the config file with VRAM settings.

It's already borderline. When I drive with 200 into the City Center, especially on a city road, the game comes very close to crashing. Hasn't happened yet, but it stutters for a moment like if it wanted to. There are a few other spots, but most of town has no issues.

The rest is excellent, it actually made me realize most of the cars in GTA are glued to the ground, even stuff like huge trucks, vans or family sedans which should drive like an ass.

Yes the first person camera is my biggest gripe.

Witcher 3 reached and maybe passed Skyrim's numbers (whatever they may be by 2020), but it's a substantially improved version of the murderhobo formula, mainly in how it feels more hand-crafted, less sandbox, and with more emphasis on story and character development. This is the main thing normies have been after since Witcher 3, and the likes of Ubisoft and EA are trying to catch up.

My point in the same post you quoted is that Witcher 3 is the next generation in the "normie-friendly RPG game" category, not another Oblivion clone. At least I classify it so, and my reasoning is in my previous post where I reply to Rusty.

 

[AwesomeButton]

You can see how Ubisoft reinvented their Assassin's creed as an "RPG" following Witcher 3's success. I think they even took special care to point it out in their development videos where the new project director (or whatever) was explaining how they changed the combat system and added more RPG elements (in reality MMO trash loot I think).

If Witcher 3 had been just another Oblivion clone but in 3rd person, they wouldn't have done that.

EA's intended "Skyrim killer", DAI, failed miserably in late 2014 and was forgotten soon after, when six months later Witcher 3 took the prize.

Fantastic, I love Ubisoft-level garbage with next to no skill checks and the same boring combat for 70 hours.
