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

I was going to purchase this as soon as they patched it proper, and just mod it until it worked, but with these kinds of security vulnerabilities I think I'm going to give this a couple of more years.

Very good video, really nails it by putting Cyberpunk next to Witcher 3 itself and not doing a 100500th comparison with GTA5.

Indeed, or doing some bug collage, as these will be eventually fixed but the quests, C&C, etc wont change.

Also, hell, i remember Dragon Age: Origins having better animation :-P. Perhaps i should try and play it once more at some point, it has been several years since i played it (and only made a single full playthrough).

The security vulnerabilities are overblown, it is only an issue if you download a savegame from some random place and honestly you can find much worse stuff security-wise in games - like pretty much every mod or usermade patch that replaces DLLs (those can actually execute arbitrary code without trying to find some vulnerability). If you've ever downloaded an executable without reading its source code and knowing what it does, you've already took a bigger risk than the CP2077 issue.

People are wanking all over this because of "Cyberpunk bad lol", not because it is a legitimate issue.

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

I saw that last night but the premise is flawed, you can't extrapolate from YouTuber fan communities to the general gaming public. Much as we might look down on them as plebs, anyone who follows a gaming YouTuber and actually bothers to vote on their polls (on Twitter, to boot), is still far, far more engaged with core gaming than the average consumer, and therefore more likely to take an active approach to their videogames spending and demand a refund. There's other issues, like how he can't know how many of his own respondents had already refunded the game by the point the 13 million figure was published, but that's academic at this point, the sample's not representative.

Yes. This poll isn't worth jack shit. It's completely unscientific.

The funniest part about the whole security vulnerability issue in mods is that it can be fixed by another mod, the Cyber Engine Tweaks one which fixes a huge heap of things with the game. Not only did CD Projekt Red not forsee the potential elite hax00ring of customers computers after releasing official modding tools (lol), but some rando mod team fixed before them. Why don't they hire these modding teams instead of whatever backwater retards they had do the game.

this fucking guy

Spoiler

keeps showing up sometimes, following me ever since I saved him after the massacre at his house. I was going to one of Claire's races and listering to never fade away on the radio, checked the passenger seat if johnny was there for some reason and I see this guy, fucking gave me a scare

Also, modders discovered that most clothing mods and some cyberware dont apply their effect and every single ultimate perk in the game break on reload, yes, this after the latest patch, they still didnt fix it. Yeah boys, so much for that "The PC version is perfect, we are only having problems with consoles." that Marcin was bullshiting about.

...wow.

reaching ultimate perk requires some serious grinding in this game so i understand its low priority

 

[lukaszek]

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.

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.

Crafting - 10% extra value on crafted gear, 1% increase per point.

Much woah, such wurf… most of the skill tree's need to be fucking reworked, shit either stacks in a ridiculously strong way or it’s utter fucking pointless.

I said it twice already, but I’ll say it again, this game needed at least an extra year of development, this feels like a damn Early Access, where a lot of the systems in place just feel incomplete, but then again, don’t take it from me, I’m just a “cuck for CDProjeckt” because apparently that’s what you are for poking fun at illiterate fucks that just go around slapping quotation marks on every random dumb shit they write :D

Long story short, if you didn't purchase it yet, don't, if you can refund it, do it, despite personally managing to enjoy the game as it is, I do recommend everyone who plans on playing it, to wait an extra year of patches.

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.

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.

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.

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.
