Case in point:The Cyberpunk sub went from "OMG this will the the best game ever" to "This is the worst game I ever played" in 1 day after release.
Cyberpunk 2077 online will be cancelled and we'll get Witcher 4: Ciri's adventure instead. Remember these words.
Wait did anyone over the age of 5 actually believe that "leak"?
For the sake of argument, this comparison would be fair if you were comparing the growth of the main subreddit since the release with the growth of low sodium cyberpunk. Not to mention that most members of low sodium are members of the main as well...It took 8 years to build nearly 800k people on main sub
It took 3 weeks for lowsodium version of it to reach 100k and now is sitting on ~130k.
You can clearly see what it means.
And what explanation they hope? "Well, we did turn our uberGTA we promised you into Cyber Far Cry because we didnt want to miss the 2020 window for our stock to not tank but we didnt tell you because you wouldnt buy it , what would make our stock tank even harder and also we were hoping we had enough fanboys to muffle the cries of the ones that are disappointed. We also are full with assets and code we cut from the game but releasing on the single player version would mean we would waste time and can't recycle them on the online version."People just want to know what happened behind the scenes. Those rumours were spreading fast because everyone who bought the game or CDPR stocks deserve some explaination.
People are still in denial, that's the reality.
After 100 hours I know that my overall reaction is "Is this what the whole hype was about?"
I still had fun playing it. Because I didn't expected anything. Zero hype and I also didn't watched or read any of the pre-release stuff.
Not watching the videos on the Cyberpunk youtube was also the right move because they spoiled the whole act 1 (arguably the best part of the game). Not only the production vids, also the release trailer.
Is there more DLC coming or is the game complete btw?

Looks like either true or some fanboy extreame amount of copium.

"Free DLC" are coming shortly. So random crap like maybe some additional outfits, maybe some car or two, quest etc.
Beside they announced expansions TW3 style but considering what they said about recepcion of TW3 expansions they probably won't do another humongous like B&W probably more like HoS.
No, you asked on the right thread.Is there more DLC coming or is the game complete btw?

lol wrong thread. Meant to post in phoenix point
I was actually really surprised at how quickly and severe the dehype happened. But we all know it means nothing as eventually they'll release a "it's good now" version and people will pretend like everything is fine still. I've seen this happen too many times now for this game of all things to be different. It's pretty frustrating though that all of this could've been prevented because it really came down to consumer attitudes and industry complacency in allowing sub-par products to be promoted to such outrageous amounts. Sure they paid record numbers into Marketing budgets but at the end of all of this you would have thought people would be more cynical of AAA releases after all the prominent disasters we've seen in the past 10+ years.
I'm pretty frustrated by the whole thing really. I expect AAA studios to be corrupt and produce shoddy products. But I still expect customers to reject studios when they pull moves like this yet we don't see it happen. I mean peoples steam libraries say it all really people buy games not to play them or enjoy them they buy them to be seen as consuming the latest popular hotness and "Fit in" to their social circles. Everyone I've spoken to IRL about Cyberpunk regurgitates the same bs that games media is saying about it but when I talk about where the game did well no one knows what I'm talking about and that to me is telling most people bought the game not because they were interested in Cyberpunk but because it was the trendy thing to buy and play even if they didn't actually play it very long. That alone is why curation is suffering in this industry because the people that are the majority of customers just don't care about video games so CDPR will get away with it just like every other AAA.
None of this feels right and it disgusts me that we even got to this point.
on Music for Cyberpunk 2077!!! Hell Yea! Balls to the Wall Baby!
Really Balls to the Wall is like Nine Inch Nails Head like a Hole or Hamayaski Evolution.
We’re marrying “cyber” with “punk” — these are our two main pillars for music direction. “Cyber” centers around sonic texture of the score — our sound palette is raw, dirty, synthesized, sometimes even futuristic. “Punk” is all about the attitude of music — rebellious, ballsy and impulsive. Night City shimmers with colors and so is the music — we’re not limiting ourselves to one specific genre. Instead, we’re drawing from all sorts of styles to craft unique mix that drives the narrative and provides additional layers of context to the story
one of the problems when taking jobs is your vision is not the directors vision. You might compose something and they might go how about this or can we change this etc.
When some one says were are drawing on all sorts of styles and doesn't even give a concise explanation of where and how those styles will be used you know it's going to be mess.
Give you an example. An alley , full of poor homeless people, the Music is synths, EP, and a Sax.
Then we have A Huge Battle coming up your running to it and the music is Some Distorted Rhythm with an Ethnic Choir popping in over the drums bass and Synths.
A Bar with some hard Industrial Rock.
That's Eclectic but with focus on each area and creating a mood, emotion for that scene or area.
There are less depending of your choices.Wait, there's onlybosses in the game?4
