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

[Comrade Goby]

The graphics look good most of the time. But I only play at dusk/night/dawn in the city.
The city really does look good at night, the artists did a great job. No idea why they decided to have daytime when it doesn't match the theme at all. If they really wanted a 24-hour cycle, maybe there should have been heavy smog or something fitting a cyberpunk setting.

The brightness of it just pulls me out of the setting.

Nighttime is too short and the weather effects never happen. I think I saw acid rain maybe once in entire playthrough

THE YEAR is 2077 and there are NO flashlights

What a shame.

Yes, Night City would have been far more atmospheric if it had been nighttime that lasted for 18 hours rather than daytime, though either one is impossible for the supposed location of Night City (in California between San Francisco and Los Angeles) even on a solstice. Moreover, the skies are nearly always clear, with rain and fog seemingly triggered only by quest checkpoints.

So in translation "No more patches suckers!".

Almost as if it is a
DEAD
GAME

economy is done surprisingly well, btw. Something that most RPGs get horribly wrong CDPR actually managed to nail. I never have enough money for the things I want, except maybe one or two shiny things.

Buy orange juice, dismantle orange juice, craft sniper rifle from orange juice = PROFIT!

Patched like 3 months ago nigger.

Don't want to imagine the clownish nightmare that would have been ensued if the game allowed the AI to drive the player between any two locations, although I suppose it would have been good for a few laughs.

This is plain wrong. Jackie drives you in the beginning and latter Panam drives you around a lot. Even if those are kind of scripted it shouldn't be too hard to create a working auto-drive system out of it for a patch...

Assuming there is a pathfinding system for the car Ai, if you are on street A and the place you wanna go is a few blocks away on street B, there must be some kind of pathfinding system to plan ahead and chart a course through the maze of streets between A and B, knowing game devs, I bet they cut the car pathfinding system to gain a few extra frames on PS 4 because you can cut all those pathfinding calls.

You can count the number of games that got turned around from an awful launch to something worth playing on one hand.
Neither mods nor patches will fix this mess. They already have your money anyway.

AI driving is one thing, but the game would seriously benefit from a HUD, or simply audiovisual GPS feedback. Focusing on the minimap doesn't let me take in the city in any comprehensive way. YMMV with the display size, albeit looking at the corner of the screen always keeps the center out of focus.

But HG and CDPR are operating at very different scales

And by that you mean that at one point CDPR was close to eclipsing Ubisoft as the biggest developer/publisher in Europe.

Uh, how? Ubisoft does 2 billion in revenue which they can probably keep up relatively consistently (maybe a slight drop here and there) while CD Projekt did 500M in 2020 where they had their tentpole release many years after Witcher 3.

Whose money, again?

bumping into a tree with a vehicle at any speed causes them to fall over

Because the city is like one of those western movie sets. Just like Witcher 3. Animatronics and all!

What's the best open world? RDR2? That may have reaction and look good but that game is so boring and the story is worse than Cyberpunk.

Or is it some 2d pixel open world game? I think a vital part of a true open world is graphics

 

[Yosharian]

The cars are barely 'driven' by AI, it's more like they run on train tracks towards the destination

Depends on what you're looking for in an open world game, but personally I'd say probably something like Terraria since it takes full advantage of being open world. If that doesn't count then uh, I guess New Vegas?

They are also despawned not long after they are out of your sight. Conserving memory on the PS4!

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Depending on what you classify as 'open world', I don't think the open world part is bad at all, I actually have a good bit of fun doing parkour stuff. None of the AI seem capable of driving though so I always see them just randomly stopped in the middle of the road.

Dunno, one of the Might & Magic games?

Finally a display of some good taste in this thread. Chad Avalon Style delivering a complete and finished game while beta CD (stands for Cross-Dressing) Projekt got to the bullshot stage and then just gave up.

Justicar, Cyberjank 2021 was so bad the devs are getting sued for botching it so hard. You need to start coping.
