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

[undecaf]

The extreme focus on the technical difficulties at launch is a clever strategy by CDPR. It makes people think that the bugs always were the main problem of the game, and the only reason why people were complaining.
Now the bugs are fixed and everything is great, 10/10 game. Right? Nice gaslighting.

btw its the same tactic Bioware used with ME3. Making everyone believe ME3 was a great game and only the last 15 minutes were bad. People LOVED almost everything about the game, but the angry gamers just hated the ending (an ending Bioware later "fixed").

This isn't entirely fair since the game's mechanics are apparently being overhauled as well. They do recognize they weren't good enough.

Do they explain somewhere what ”overhauling” means here in more detail?

Neuromancer had a vampire gang and Rafastari. The inclusion of vampires and um... the Voodoo Boys feel like homages to that in the Cyberpunk setting (as well as the loa from Count Zero).

Defiitely. One of the coolest scenes in Neuromancer is when dub music pulls the protagonist out of a beach sim created by the AI (IIRC), he comes to and it turns out the Rasta had put headphones on him. The Voodoo Boys are 100% a reference to that.

To be fair. This one really looks like some of the NPCs running around in the game:

We already have two things in common! I can definitely make this work!

if 2077 had been $80 instead of $60, could CDPR have afforded to finish the game? it's possible that selling a AAA RPG for $59.99 is just no longer possible with inflation

the more worthless currency is, the more DLCs and expansion packs it would take to produce a complete product

It could have been $800 with the same sales numbers and it would not have been finished.

Wasn't the early release just a matter to take part of the usual Chrismas sale because the board or shareholders demanded it?

Uncut gameplay

They wanted a 2020 release for the Cyberpunk 2020 symbolism.

they should have made it episodic then and released it as they completed the fucking game. half-life is good for a reason

It's kinda fucked up the same way F4 is eg. the player is not under surveillance, at least in F4 you can be at odds with factions here it's even worse. Have serious doubts about attribute rebalance not sure I want to play the addon without some serious faction mod and that looks unrealistic.
