Cyberjank wasn't able to not only get platinum, but didn't even get into gold, in the year following the release, losing to multiple indie games.
Witcher 3 was platinum in 2016/17, gold in 2018/19, silver in 2020, and now bronze.

This is so much worse than I expected.

Do you even see what else is in the platinium nigger? Battlefield 2042 that has NEGATIVE score on steam much worse than cyberbug keep coping.

And that game with negative score still made more money than Cyberturd, which is what this ranking is about. Retard.

Where are you getting your metrics? Numbers on Steam alone indicate that Cyberpunk 2077 has 10x the sales. Cyberpunk sold 10 million copies in the first month where Battlefield only publicly states they got 4 million sold in the first week then held an unprecedented free weekend only 2 weeks after release which screams desperation. What planet are you living on? Since the Steam Best Ofs are based on sales AND playtime it makes sense multiplayer games would have an edge, especially ones that are free/have free weekends.

There's 4chan rumors about a re-release of the game on next gen consoles called "Samurai edition":

- The Cyberpunk 2077 anime made by the Trigger studio has a story made 100% by the CD Projekt studio where they claim that the result in animation and plot is incredible and has many references to Akira.

I hope it looks like this for the true Trigger experience:

The irony of your use of that clip is quite remarkable. Hopefully CDPR takes note when they rework the cop AI.

- CD Projekt will perform a live show in February for the presentation of this edition and other news.
- New features introduced in the video game such as: barber shops, garages, an improvement in the quality of the AI, a new fog system, a new interface and a complete transformation of the loot system.
- The promised free DLCs will be included in this edition and include 4 new weapons, the new game + mode and customization of our apartment.
- Changes will be introduced as Judy and Panam now send you more text messages and more interactions in general.
- The first expansion will take place in Pacifica and its size is big.
- A combat zone has been added where you can perform different secondary missions related to the disputes between the two gangs of the place: the Bozos (a group of psychopaths with a great sense of humor) and the Slaughterhouse (a group of violent fascists).
- Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a new minigame in the true Gwent style of The Witcher.

- Another expansion is in early development but details are still unknown.

Overall doesn't seems too crazy. I think it would be true

Really doesn't sound like the sort of change that would bring back those who were turned away by all the negative feedback. If true they'd be expecting marketing to once more do the heavy lifting.

 

[RIT_SKUA]

Even if true, still shit game. Shit foundations, shit systems. You don't patch those in, you make another game. Shit company.

It is so unfortunate and frustrating that this game ended up being so horrible. Not because I have any particular love for CDPR, but because there is such a severe lack of good quality, well-grounded (hard/realistic/gritty - so integral to achieving proper reification of the "Punk" aspect") science fiction games (as well as books, movies, etc.) that I fear the chilling effect this game's failure could result in - we already have a incessant stream of generic high fantasy games, and good Sci-Fi really needs something to lift it off of the cutting room floor it has typically been discarded onto.

 

[Bliblablubb]

Not even patches or DLCs can fix the fundamental flaw the the designers decided on for this "open world"game.
Players expected something among the lines of a Bethesda game, where you can ignore the mainquest and derp around playing the way you want to be. Except CDPR hid at least 70% of the content behind the mainquest. A mainquest you are forced to start pretty much right away. Then it immidiately forces two timed quests on you, forcing you go dive into the whole city, instead of moving at your own pace.
In fact, the game is designed to beeline through the mainquest, do the Arasaka ending, get dropped back after the credits and "now you can play the game". The sidequests that is. Why would you even bother with gigs or hustles at that point. Money? For what mind you, you don't need ANY cybermod at all. 99% of the main missions are designed for sneaking with scripted enemies staring at walls.
If CDPR had ANY balls, they would have locked progress behind street cred, or having to do gigs for fixers before they help you, but nope, they even give you the exact 15k Rogue wants after knocking out Sasquatch. Don't diverge from the mainquest player!
How are they going to fit in the DLC anyways? It obviously must be after the heist to access Pacifica. Hey V, we know you are dying, please ignore your desperate quest for survival and do some heist for Mister Hands?
Forcing some life and death urgency on the player in an (semi) open world game does not work. It already bit Mass Effect 3 in the ass long before this game was even planned, one could have learned from it.
"Oh noes, Reapers kill 1000s of humans every minute, Shepard halp!"
Shepard goes to the Shitadel instead, eats Sushi, plans a heist and parties all night...

Depends. Barbers, garages and other cosmetic drek is obviously useless but a better AI and a completely new itemization does sound like an improvement to me.

They'll probably never turn this cutscene shooter into the RPG we were promised but for me the game might switch from "never touch" to "maybe give it a try someday".

 

[Bliblablubb]

Depends. Barbers, garages and other cosmetic drek is obviously useless but a better AI and a completely new itemization does sound like an improvement to me.

It's cerainly sounds line a lot of empty marketing speak and low cost features. To quote V here: "Humble sounds affordable. * transfers 1 eddie*"
Everything that does not contain new voice acting can be done without much planning whenever an intern is avaiable. The barber will most likely just be a machine V steps in, sheet, they might even reuse the UI from char gen, Bethesda style.
Itemization? Wut? Maybe items now have the correct amount of mod slots at least. Doubt they rebalance cybermod requirements.
More TEXT messages from your bed bunnies? Half a day for the intern, rest he puts up a few more radiant encounters hustles, look how packed the map now is player!
And AI improvments? What do you want to improve there? Combat AI is servicable. Car AI/police would certainly be nice, but is it worth the hassle? They should just leave the cops reluctant to follow you at all, even fits the lore. They most likely just "fix" how police gets triggered by even looking at someone crooked at times.
Probably better that way. Never forget: the last time they wanted to "improve" enemy detection, because they had problems seeing you if you were above or below them, they did it so hamfisted some can now spot you through a megablock if you are even slightly higher above ground then they are...

CDPR already confirmed this is a fake rumor, it is just a compilation of old leaks and wishful thinking. Some of it like the soft relaunch, free DLC and the first expansion are pretty much confirmed by older leaks and CDPR itself but nobody knows the nature of the relaunch and the first expansion, only the free DLC are somewhat known because of datamining but not a single one of them change interface, ai or the loot system.

Cyberpunk 2077 game director Mateusz Kanik announces that he has left CDPR to become a freelancer

 

[T.Ashpool]

that guy was the original cyberpunk 2077 game director before that useless no talent hack badowski took over and decided the game should be gta in the future while also being deus ex and borderlands at the same time. sucks that we will never get to see his vision for what once was a real cyberpunk rpg.

 

[The Wall]

Adam Badowski is Pete Hines of CDPR. Complete retard with too much influence. Something like Chris Parker at Obsidian, Badowski is probably Parker's cousin from Poland. Marcin Iwinski is cross between Todd Howard and Josh Sawyer, except he went full vegan, full shizo, full liberal. That's the reason behind his ghoulification on pictures

Summa summarum: it's insane that people in general pay little to no attention to Who? makes their games and are continuosly pikachu surprised that good games are not made by company logo. Which is all that Bioware, Rockstar, CDPR in 2022. have. Logo

 

[Hellraiser]

Even if true, still shit game. Shit foundations, shit systems. You don't patch those in, you make another game. Shit company.

The only question that matters in this case, in true cyberpunk corporate dystopia fashion, is what will sell and what can be salvaged to get more sales (or alternatively what can calm down nervous shareholders). If an enhanced edition and bunch of major patches can achieve that they will do it, although I sooner expect them to shove itemization or character system improvements in with a DLC as a selling point if they at all want to fix those. That is of course if they are at all capable of designing non-shit systems here. From a project POV there's a lot that could be salvaged for profit without gambling on a new multi-year project to repair brand image.

The only major thing in this game that can't be patched out without significant resources is the main quest design and its length, lack of C&C and other unexpected fuck ups in areas that were Twitcher 3's strong sides.

Lastly there is one problem with making another game if this one has shit systems and shit foundations, what guarantee is that the design there wouldn't be shit as well? At the very least they need to prove with an expansion pack to the mouthbreathers that they can deliver storyfaggotry or whatever it was that made Twitcher 3 so overrated. Otherwise even the bottom of the redditor gamer barrel won't buy the next thing.

 

[The Wall]

They will. Never underestimate innate cuckoldry and blissful ignorance of normies starved for some open world games.CDPR and Bethesda can fuck-up as long as there is no viable alternative. That could be Kingdom Come 2, Elex II and Avowed. Will they, thou? We'll see...

Normies care only about one thing: being sucked into alternative worlds, isekai style. Witcher 3 did it, Cyberpunk 2077 failed. That's why in 20 years games will be 50h long dreams, like in original Total Recall

Normie wanna feel emotions inside video games. That's all. Mechanics should just be good enough, and no gameplay designer today has any clue what the fuck he's doing. It's all about simulating the feel you're in that Gameworld and simulated challenge. But no real challenge or gameplay system which demands any kind of thinking or learning. It's all about making normies feel and spending money. 90% of people deserve to live in Dystopia

 

[The Wall]

Open world RPGs, which are beloved by everyone (including Codex) need better Devs. That could be Indies like modders who made Gothic Archolos mod. They should use some old engine, and focus on art style, game systems, story and role-playing. Give me 10m$ and I'll make you at least 100m$ in 4 years
