My thoughts exactly, playing FFXV I was thinking - this is how driving was intended to be in CP2077, it just clicked. I'm 100% sure it was implemented like that in some stage of production, just look like other cars are moving, they are all on rails. It would still be awful that way tho.I know it's been said before, so this isn't something new, but Cyberpunk 2077 really shouldn't have been open world. But that isn't coming from some place of "open world bad" or something, playing this, it doesn't even feel like it was originally designed to be open world. The open worldness of it all, the driving, that feels like an afterthought that was tacked on at the last minute. Which seems odd given I could've sworn they were talking about this game being open world, and having an online multiplayer aspect akin to GTA5 very early on. Even somethings like the interior view of all the vehicles, which are very nice looking, feel like something that wasn't meant to actually be controlled by the player to the extent it is in the final game. When you're sitting in the passenger seat while someone else drives you around, that's how it feels like they originally meant things to function; to the point it makes me wonder if originally the vehicles operated more like Final Fantasy 15, where you set a waypoint and the car autopilots through the city...which also makes me wonder if the open world wasn't actually originally an open world that you actually interacted with to the degree the final release has you do. I could definitely imagine a version of this where all your missions are sectioned off into zones, and then there's an "open world" you see while fast traveling to locations in your car. If that was the original idea, having the car work like FF15, I could definitely see the reaction to not having full control of the car in FF15 scaring them off.
thats a different topicI agree with that sentiment. But what would be the point in playing if you don't like the game?what would be the point in paying them after i already played it for free?
I've wasted hours playing pirated Assassin's Creed which I didn't end up buying, because I didn't like it. But the lost time is lost time. Just because it's free doesn't mean we should play every game.
im not sure there are filler locations. There is high probability that there is a crime or such to spawn there at one point. Which are unlocked based on your lvl/street cred/whatever.Well, after several minutes of searching everywhere, I realized that there was simply nothing to this location, it was just filler. During the rest of my playthrough I encountered a lot of such filler locations.
To be fair, the cop is not gay and if you decide to kiss him in that scene (because your character is gay), he'll turn you down.At that point you get a choice to do something gay, I don't remember what exactly, but this disgusted me. The cop was a pretty cool dude, and I was at the end of the quest enjoying a beer with my new friend, why did they have to spoil it all by making him gay?
Don't remember the exact amount that was reported, but it was > 1 million.Did CDPR really pay him all that much?
He is normal, but if you are gay, i.e. your character is gay, you have the option to make a pass at him, which he will reject. Panam will also reject you if you are a female and make a pass at her.The cop was a pretty cool dude, and I was at the end of the quest enjoying a beer with my new friend, why did they have to spoil it all by making him gay?
Yep, sounds like a CDPR game alright.I remember very vividly the moment that made me see Cyberpunk for what it is, like waking up in the morning next to a hooker who is 20 years older and uglier than you thought the previous drunken night.
"this is CD Project Red, they must've put something here, they couldn't just have designed a pointless, empty location".
A lot of NPCs looked identical, I remember looking at a street and seing the same NPC copy pasted 3 times or so. In addition, they were just walking around pointlessly, there was no depth to it.
I did not know that, I was also not gonna try to kiss a man to find out.To be fair, the cop is not gay and if you decide to kiss him in that scene (because your character is gay), he'll turn you down.At that point you get a choice to do something gay, I don't remember what exactly, but this disgusted me.

They should've made it like in FNV and allow me to select a tag for my character instead of out of the blue hitting me in the face with it like a wet sausage.
I wasn't tempted, but I assumed he was romanceable because the game gave me an option to (try) and kiss him, which would make him gay, but thankfully as the other posters pointed out that wasn't the case, what was the point of that dialogue option then? Iirc that was the only gay thing my character could do, it was just weird and grossed me out nonetheless.If you need guard rails not to be tempted by the gay... you'reI did not know that, I was also not gonna try to kiss a man to find out.To be fair, the cop is not gay and if you decide to kiss him in that scene (because your character is gay), he'll turn you down.At that point you get a choice to do something gay, I don't remember what exactly, but this disgusted me.

They also had the Wardrobe feature and a couple of bite-sized Gigs. You might eventually see a Police system update before the expansion drops, though I dunno what it would achieve without extensive overhauls to connected mechanics, there's barely any design to work with there. At this point the game is what it is and it's gonna stay that way, not sure what sort of magical patches people are hoping for.I went to see what was added in Edgerunners. Correct me, if I am wrong, but... cloud saves and some bug repair.
Wasn't the whole deal with the chip originally supposed to be the last chapter of the game?afaik it started with him playing a minor role, which gradually got expanded
To be fair, the anime adaptation was pretty good and it maintained a consistent atmosphere throughout much better than the game.animu uwu
Also Adam Smasher is not a pussy there what already makes it miles ahead of what CDPR cucks did with him.To be fair, the anime adaptation was pretty good and it maintained a consistent atmosphere throughout much better than the game.animu uwu
Challenge Rating:I dunno why they insist so much with this pointless cosmetic fluff, it seems they are doing the bare minimum to keep the "Hey guys, we are totally legit now, trust us." marketing psy ops operation going on.
Challenge Rating:If they did: "Hey guys, on this expansion, NPC cars can drive on a straight line now and dont defy the laws of physics on sharp turns anymore, you dont control an one armed mutant anymore in third person and the game is capable of rendering 10+ NPCs with full Ai per kilometer square on the open world without bricking FPS." That would be far more convincing to me.
Well, if the numbers in that video are anything to go by, it seems to be working. That's what I kept saying, the design flaws are real and significant but they're not what caused CBP to falter in 2020, it was the console performance and ensuing internet drama. Now that the animu's revitalised the game's marketing, the casuals are flocking back to check it out.Seems they are keeping full ahead on their extra shiny Potemkin village model.
AllI did not know that, I was also not gonna try to kiss a man to find out.
Yep, ABE(Animu Booba Engaged) is usually a winning strategy with the average neckbeard gamer.Now that the animu's revitalised the game's marketing, the casuals are flocking back to check it out.
