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

[Tyrr]

I agree Evelyn's first appearance and the whole femme fatale was sooo well done, it gave me high hopes for the game. But we all know how it turned out.

The game goes downhill after act 1. Story and character wise.
(Also gameplay/quest wise, but that's another topic)

 

[Bliblablubb]

Well there are some braindances on black market.

"Incompatible with your software"
I swear Judy did that on purpose to prevent V from looking at any other woman. Or parts of them. Severed parts. Actually... on second thought I am happy she did that.

Cyberpunk and Witcher 3 are back at full price on GOG. Apparently CDP hopes that patch 1.5 will generate of lot of publicity.

They are back at 20% (Witcher 3) and 50% (CP 2077) of full price. This appears to be a typical "Black Friday promotion" - increase the price first so that it can be reduced after new Witcher saga announcement.

Yay, another 100gb download for the offline installers...

 

[Bliblablubb]

Apparently CDPR does not only need to hire stronk team leads to get the peasants in line, but also proper coders. Downloading a 1gb patch is normal in this day and age, but being unable or unwilling to write any form of patcher and force people to download 7gb for some minor fixes is just... sad.

 

[Wesp5]

If you are using Galaxy the patch is 1.2 GB. If you want to do it all manually it's your fault !

 

[Gargaune]

Yay, another 100gb download for the offline installers...

Is it even worth it? I skipped 1.5H2, I'm skipping this one too, won't patch until there's something worthwhile in the changelog or a new mod forces me to. It's not even the download, installing 100GB takes me longer than downloading it. Fuck that.

If you are using Galaxy the patch is 1.2 GB. If you want to do it all manually it's your fault !

Local clients are decline. If you embrace them, you'll eventually get what's coming to you.

 

[sebas]

I've finally gotten around to playing this...and, yeah, what a hot mess.

The main storyline up until and including The Heist is so well freaking done. The characters and great, the small peeks into Night City are breathless and the gameplay is balanced and engaging. Oh, and I personally loved the fashion and low sci-fi setting.

But then? Then it all falls apart. It's open for the sake of marketing, the open world adds nothing to the experience - on the contrary. It's riddled with bugs and an absolutely retarded looting system (how the fuck did they think taking over the worst aspect of ME1 was a good idea?). And then, the big issue - it's a dead game, dead city, dead radio stations etc. Compared to something like a GTA installment or even freaking Saints Row, it's just barren.

Oh well, at least they tried.

 

[Fedora Master]

"I ate shit and it tasted like shit, what gives???"

 

[gurugeorge]

dead radio stations

Huh? The radio stations are one of the better-done aspects of the game IMO. Particularly the channel where the jock does conspiracy theory stuff (filling in some background world-building), and Royal Blue Radio (the jazz channel).

 

[Wesp5]

Local clients are decline.

Principally I agree, but I suspected that CP wasn't finished on release .

 

[Churrasco]

I'd wait for mods to fix the game so, maybe end of next year?

 

[Wulfric Pinewood]

Game is quite good, it's a shame becouse it could be a great, or even deserves sequel. When You stick to main questline everything is okay, problem is with a flat sidequests and general feeling of shallow puddle.

 

[Bliblablubb]

Tru dat. If you just stick to the main quest and the occasional side quests, you are pretty well entertained and get a lot of hours out of it.
It was just... advertised wrong. Players expected an almost CYOA style open world, or a least a Bethesda style "ignore the mainquest" option, but that's not what it is. The gigs and hustles feel like like pointless fillers to bloat up the map, too short to add any real value. And I guess it was "too much markers" for many players, as they made a filter and outright removed markers for those minor random battles in 1.5.
Ironically GTA5 did the same linear "follow the main quest" ride, just without the bloat, but nobody complained about emptiness there, because people knew what they were up for.

Maybe they should have just ditched the hustles and have Panam call to you to go bowling play CyberGwent instead.

 

[gurugeorge]

I've always thought that one of the prime evidences of the game being massively unfinished relative to what was intended, is the fact that if you do lots of the open world content, you start to feel like Robocop, because you're basically just beating on bad guys everywhere. And that's totally the wrong feel for a cyberpunk thing.

That, combined with the evidence (from mods) that there were hooks built in for factions (even down to the possibility of dress codes and different weaknesses and strengths), suggests to me that the original idea was probably that you align with a fixer+faction and beat up enemy factions in the open world, which would be much more in line with the cyberpunk idea.

 

[Bliblablubb]

The scanner hustles always made me feel like a filthy snitch. Smearing crazy Maelstromers on the sidewalk is one thing, but then with Street Kid V doing things in Heywood, where she grew up and lived for 15+ years or so? She probably even knows half of the Failentinos there. Even Jackie is still proudly displayingg his Valentino association, has not fully dropped his colors.
Sure, you catch them robbing and/killing someone, but V of all people, Miss "fuck corpos, fuck the police, Heywood is mah family, I grew up with the gangs" goes around cleaning the streets for some pocket change? Probably even creating a power vacuum getting filled by 6th street afterwards, who are shown trying to expand into there.
Sheet, in half of the 6th Street hustles I did, they were just dispensing justice on someone who sabotaged them and got people killed. Sad.

Radio stations with no DJ or ads, I.e. the devs playlist. Woooow.

Eh, actually hearing about the state of the world over the radio was one of the few times I actually felt a bit engaged with the worldbuilding in the game, mainly because they don't really shove it in your face.
Same thing when I first drove by the landfill and realized it was an actual place of the map, not just something they did for a quick cutscene.
