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

[Tyrr]

Cyberpunk has C&C? That's like saying going to the DMV has C&C

It has so much C&C, you only need 1 save for all the endings. And the game even tells you when to save.

You can miss the whole content of Phantom Liberty simply by driving away. Boom, president of NUSA dead because you refused to engage. How's that for C&C?

yeah and you can miss Ocarina of Time by never leaving Kokiri Forest, and?

Doesn't ring a bell, I don't play console games.

From "literally unplayable"
to "it was always 6/10 at launch"
to "bro I promise it is good you just need 214 mods"
to "it's on the level of Deus Ex".

Holy shit, you revisionists really are retarded.

No revisionism here, you cann go back and check my initial mini-review on release here (I think) and my prediction, which turned out correct.

Being warned about points of no return is a good thing

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

but not through 4th wall breaking methods.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

No, in this case the game just pauses and the warning message appears, you confirm and the game unpauses. It a simple text message "out-of-universe".

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Even then, most people would rather be warned that there's no coming back, than looking up the alternate endings after and finding out their last separate save before reaching the hidden branching point was hours ago.

Or when you get stuck in an end dungeon, realizing you lost your chance to rest and resupply and are basically screwed now.

Why are you posting in a console game thread then?

Just a quick reminder that years after the release and countless patches the default button to fast forward dialogues is the same button as crouch so every time you press it to skip dialogues your character starts crouching. Let that sink in. Not that it matters anyway 9 out 10 dialogue responses don't affect anything anyway.

 

[Old One]

I liked this game, and I enjoyed the ending vignettes. Of course I reloaded my save to watch them all, cause no way in hell was I going to replay the whole game to try a new ending.

I thought I would be done then, but I restarted with a new character and found the game was still quite fun - until I was forced to participate in the main story. At that point I quit.

Driving around doing side missions is entertaining though. It's a shame there's no sandbox mode with the story deactivated.

I enjoyed most of the main story arcs, except Judy's arc other than the VDB quest. I dread playing through that garbage every playthrough. I really enjoyed Phantom Liberty, except that one mission... nvr5get... You literally only needed to incapacitate them for 30m-1h TOPS. What you can't fucking trap them in a bootleg BD or something? The technology clearly exists and they clearly have access to it.

Possibly a mod, but a sort of fix for this (it helps anyway) is that Phantom Liberty lets you skip chapter one which is where the worst of the story railroading is and leaves the city opened up so you can basically hop around and do whatever.

yeah the game would be much better if it were like GTA: Online instead of scripted interracial sex scenes. god only knows how bad the spaghetti code is that they can't even get a co-op cyberpsycho hunt working

Last version I installed was 2.1 and you still couldn't rebind F. The game shipped with a non-configurable keybind for the main interaction, they eventually fixed it in patch 1.5, I think, and then they rolled that back with 2.0. It's fucking Laurel and Hardy over there.

To be fair if I was talking to someone and they suddenly started crouching I would want to end the conversation as well.

Funny, I come to most threads for the idiots and their shit takes.

Why the fuck can AAA developers not get keybinding right

I am genuinely baffled

2077 will be remembered like Halo 2, a clearly unfinished disaster that is probably still the only good video game ever made

For a lot of people with fucked up hands or motor skills rebindable keys solved a massive chunk of their issue, but for a lot of devs it is of no priority and as such is never implemented.

 

[Melcar]

Rebindable keys and custom input layouts is hard work and I guess also takes a special skill set to do properly. Many games out there with fixed key layouts.
