I imagine Cyberpunk is the only western game with attractive women left.

You call that attractive? Are you from Germany?

Yes.

Actually, all German women were bought by The Outer Worlds.

Oh, the fact that they could've done this anytime before? Maybe because AJ review videos have usually 1+ million of views on YouTube? Maybe because AJ was one of their biggest fanboy, who had direct contact with CDPR multiple times in the past? You tell me.

Stop seeing things which are not there. Posting them at the same day is a simple coincidence.

I think this game broke you for some reason and you're looking for mind control devices

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

Fuck bug fixes. I want more elaborated side-quests with diferent options, better itemisation, a functional police (MAX-TAC presence is inexistent in this game, a fucking disgrace) and more waifus. Am I asking for too much?

Ok my dude

 

[undecaf]

Sounds like a good idea to put the game on hold for the remainder of the year and see, if anything interesting comes up to make it worth picking up again.

 

[Yoomazir]

It's a simple guess about 2 videos related to the same game, released the same day, one is from a big youtuber and another from the dev that came later. I have no fucking idea how you came with be being "broken" about this game, are you sure you're not projecting?

 

[TT1]

I was expecting MUCH more details to the roadmap, like dates, for example. "Next month", "in the next 10 days", "around next half" are too generic.

Give me dates, sir, I want you to commit.

PC version is absolutely fine. There are though some folks who used AVX check removal mod that caused them to crash like motherfucker because game actually DID use AVX just not all the time. Personally game never crashed on me. I had 2 gameplay bugs (small ones) and like dozen graphical glitches. My second playtrough was similar.


also lol at their roadmap. Basaically says nothing. Moreover somehow they stopped developing DLC because why exacty and Multi is coming either way suckers.

FAQ

Q: Why is there such a gap between PC versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and old-gen consoles?

A: Cyberpunk 2077 is huge in scope, it features a multitude of custom objects, interacting systems and mechanics. In the game, everything is not stretched out over flat terrain where we can make things less taxing hardware-wise, but condensed in one big city and in a relatively loading-free environment. We made it even more difficult for ourselves by first wanting to make the game look epic on PCs and then adjusting it to consoles — especially old-gens. That was our core assumption. And things did not look super difficult at first, while we knew the hardware gap, ultimately, time has proven that we've underestimated the task.

Q: What was the main issue that made development for consoles that difficult?

A: The main culprit was having to constantly improve our in-game streaming system for old-gen consoles. Streaming is responsible for “feeding” the engine with what you see on screen, as well as the game mechanics. Since the city is so packed and the disk bandwidth of old-gen consoles is what it is, this is something that constantly challenged us.

Q: Didn’t you test old-gen consoles to keep tabs on the experience?

A: We did. As it turned out, our testing did not show many of the issues you experienced while playing the game. As we got closer to launch, we saw significant improvements each and every day, and we really believed we’d deliver in the final day zero update.

Q: Why was there a gap between PC and console reviews?

A: We started sending out PC review keys to start the review process in the first week of December. Come December 10th, launch day, we had a really good start with PC reviews, and while it’s not perfect, this is a version of the game we were, and still are, very proud of. When it comes to the review process for consoles, at the same time PC codes were sent out we were still working hard to improve the quality of the game on old-gen consoles. Every extra day that we worked on the day zero update brought visible improvement — that’s why we started sending console codes for reviews on the 8th December, which was later than we had planned.

Q: What have you done since launch to make the game better?

A: Our top priority since launch has been to fix bugs in Cyberpunk 2077. We have already released three hotfixes which have improved the game, but these are just the beginning.

Q: What are you going to do going forward to fix Cyberpunk 2077?

A: We are focused on fixing the bugs and crashes players are experiencing across every platform. You can expect more in the way of patches — both small and large — to be released regularly. The first update will drop in the next 10 days, and it will be followed by a larger, more significant update, in the weeks after. Our plans for supporting Cyberpunk 2077 in the long-term are unchanged, and we will continue to introduce updates and patches to give all players across all consoles and PCs a better experience with the game.

Q: You have said there would be free DLC for the game in ‘early 2021’, will this be impacted by improvements?

A: We’re still planning on releasing free DLC for the game, just like with The Witcher 3. However, we have decided that our priority is working on the most important fixes and updates. We will be releasing free DLC afterwards — we’ll have more to say about that in the coming months.

Q: When can we expect the next-gen update for Cyberpunk 2077?

A: For those who are playing the game on next-gen consoles via backwards compatibility, we are planning the free, next-gen update for Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox Series consoles, and PlayStation 5, this year. We’re aiming for the second half of the year and we’ll reveal more when we have more to share.

Q: Are you making the team crunch to work on the patches?

A: The team is working to bring relevant fixes to the game without any obligatory overtime. Avoiding crunch on all of our future projects is one of our top priorities.

Q: When is the game coming back to PlayStation Store?

A: We are working on fixes and updates, and are working with Sony to bring Cyberpunk 2077 back to PlayStation Store as soon as possible.

Q: What is the status of the Help Me Refund initiative?

A: The initiative is progressing according to plan and we just sent out the first wave of reimbursements.

The truth is always at the middle. If you think that AJ has 0 influence, you're horribly wrong. But at the same time, I think they were going to publish something like this at one point or another anyway. Things were/are/are going to spiral out of control for them.

Lol was expecting much more thumbs down on this video seems like the hate train is dying down and the gaymers will be happy after some bugfixes . Did they cancel singleplayer dlc too? There is nothing about paid dlc on that roadmap rip singleplayer then .

Doubt they cancelled anything, if they announce an expansion now before fixing consoles they'll be eaten alive again. But as you said hate is dying down, I think when they release the real next gen console version they'll announce it the same day.

Fuck, I'm minutes late to come in and shout "Stop the presses!" "They are commited to quality!"

 

[MasPingon]

They are acting like the only problem is with console version. This game on PC is absolute clusterfuck in terms of game design, for now it's like a prototype of a game. Bugs are the slightest problem. Quest designer also acts like he has done a good job, it's like they're getting info about players impressions only from CDPR forum safe space and RPGCodex.

Are you surprised at all?

Lol what fake advertising, no such boobs exist in the game, not even remotely.

You call that attractive? Are you from Germany?

Actually Alt struck me as distinctly Polish in the face. Maybe Germans are attracted to that type?

Angry Joe is utter cringe

He has aged, and by now looks uncanny.
