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

[Zariusz]

For some the feeling of wasted potential mixed with a tiny light of hope that there is a chance of improvement works like a drug. Some mediocre games can hold fans with this for years.
Others just want to sail the Panam's canal

It very much isn't to Cuckdexers.

Some of us called the transfer of resources from the trainwreck of Cyberpunk 2077 to a fourth game in the Witcher setting well before CDPR's announcements made it clear:

Then why are people still talking about this garbage?

Because you can't help yourself. You should change your name to Butthurt Master btw.

You keep asking this question. It's because there's nothing like it in terms of a fully-realized cyberpunk atmosphere, and with mods it can be made reasonably okay. The big flaws can't be fixed, but things like level scaling and the junk MMO loot system and the broken build system can, so you can still have fun with it - and modders keep plugging away at it, again, because of the fact that there's nothing out there like it. If you want to soak in a cyberpunk vibe in a fully realized 3-d world with modern graphics, it's still the only and best option.

In a way I guess it's more like a wistful nostalgia for what could have been - plus the occasional heads-up about mods.

Cuz it ain't garbage. Garbage is what my diet looks like. Cyberpunk is an artifact of ambition. A tiny glimpse of what could have been. A feeling. Just go visit the nearest Konzentrationslager and maybe you'll understand what I mean.

Reminder that Mike Pondsmith is a massive weeb and he made Teenagers from Outer Space by binging the works of Rumiko Takahashi (the Ranma and Inuyasha lady), then turned it into an RPG.

Reminder that Mike Pondsmith kept shilling this trash game and never had even one issue with it.

Correction - he never SAID that had even one issue with it. Which shouldn't be surprising. George R.R. Martin didn't trash GoT when he had plenty of reasons to. Sapkowski didn't trash Netflix Witcher "adaptation". Does anyone have examples of authors trashing adaptations of their work when they were released (not decades after)?

Sapko was plenty butthurt about the games though.

Probably because he didn't get enough money from it. And wasn't involved in production. And doesn't like video games. And usually he says openly what he thinks (and still didn't trash Netflix Witcher).

He was butthurt because he'd made the mistake of underestimating how big games are, and had settled for a modest one-time payoff for the rights to use his work - he didn't get a proper percentage. That was a decision he regretted later, when the Witcher games blew up. It's actually quite funny (But I gather CDPR have treated his claim fairly enough, even though they didn't really have to, by rights they could have just lol-ed all the way to the bank )

Stephen King vis-a-vis Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining. Although he still considered it a good work on its own, but he couldn't stand the bastardization of what was one of his most personal novels.

Sapkowski is a greedy bastard, he didn't have any qualms about criticizing the polish adaptations, probably because they didn't pay him to promote it. If you actually read the interviews with him (that weren't obvious promotion nonsense) about the Netflix production you'd see he didn't exactly have it in high regard either.

Stephen King is a fucking asshole. Kubrick took the work and made it his own, and it is a fucking masterpiece.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

It's only an emotional response on King's part. Otherwise the guy has no issue with adaptations not remaining faithful to the source material, such as the film adaptation of The Mist whose ending King considered to be brilliant.

depends. as a movie? indeed. as an adaptation? not.

Shit ending though. Real fucking cheap.

Yeah, the Mist ending cheapens the whole story. It could have worked to a degree if they had waited a while to reveal the gotcha moment instead of it happening immediately afterwards.

Imagine talking about builds in a game that has no replayability.

I'm still waiting for the update that makes the 1 and only playthrough more than 2 hours long.
