Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[†††]

This is like the shit Jim Sterling is vomiting out each day. MUUHHHH CRUNNNCH!!!! POOOR DEVS MUST CRUUUNCH!!!!!

almost every single big studio does crunch time but because poles do it, we must bring it to attention now. But please don't ever dare to notice it when it comes to US based devs.

The truth is simple, sometime it can't be avoided and while there may be a discussion to have in the corporate space most Developers just want to finish that thing or are forced to hammer away before the funds run out.

I have been there and while the situation forced the crunch, I never felt forced because I wanted the shit done i had worked hard for.

Terenty They are actually not sending out review codes to many sites. There won't be many day one reviews, I suspect. That's also a way to rig the game, though. That is, if they manage to polish up some glaring week one flaws/bugs/whatever you want to call it.

I was going to say something in the same lines. When the game is done and out, and it's talked about 5+ years after release as one of the best RPGs ever, as is the case with Witcher 3, everyone who worked on the project will feel pride. The crunch time is something that you go through once, but you get to say you worked on that game throughout the rest of your life.

Western journos use CDPR to larp critical journalism and liberal conscience because they can't do that to US corps who will write them out of their freebies list and cut ad budget of their games on their websites. This is leverage CDPR doesn't have, hence they use instances of CDPR's crunching to pretend they have any balls at all.

Any reviews yet ?

Yes

Yeh, i wonder when these degenerates will realize that unlike manufactury workers, who get abused cause they can't do better, game developers are capable of finding another job that does not treat them as crunchy dogshit easily.
I am victim blaming (cause apparently these people can't say no for some reason), but passionate developer can easily requalify into software developer, if he does not want to code physics of horse's nutsack for 70 hours a week.

Edit: LOL, the embargo has just lifted and the net is flooded with reviews. What were you saying again with no review codes?

And let's not even talk about indies, who work 8-10 hours on their fulltime job, then go home and work on their passion project each day. Nobody cries for them.

It worst part for me is not how he kept shooting the guy that was scripted to die later but how much the game felt lacking in the sound department in that moment.
I didn't get that from the indoor parts, but the moments when you are in a car and shooting it feels like the game is missing 80% of the sound effects.

There's been articles about it. And I've read from sites that they didn't get keys.
https://www.newsweek.com/cyberpunk-2077-review-limited-release-day-codes-arrive-late-1552595
https://twistedvoxel.com/cyberpunk-2077-review-embargo/

There's been an official update on the state of review keys for North America from the PR company. These are direct quotes from an email I just received minutes ago in my work inbox. In short:
"We figured you all deserved an update on where things are. At this time I'd like to clarify that we haven't sent any review keys out yet. We expect to have updates on that front next week and no sooner.(...)

"Also due to the incredible demand, there's a good chance we won't be able to approve nor deny your request until launch day or later; if you want to be absolutely sure that you have the game on launch day, I wanted to let you know in case you need to make other arrangements."

And so on.

Just wanna say that I spent the first 9 months of this year working on a fairly massive mobile game in a new position that I didn't have experience in. It involved too much crunches, lost count of the number of nights that I got home past 10pm. Those 9 months were something I wish I would never experience again.

BUT, 3 days after I got laid off (half of the team did, thanks to COVID), I instantly landed a new job with higher pay in a smaller studio, just about 100 employees and it's still on hiring spree. No crunch since, I sleep better, eat better, think better, thanks to the nightmarish 9 months that now I'm kinda thankful for going through it. And that's just a mobile game, imagine how pretty your CV would look like with Cyberpunk 2077 written on it.

90 on Metacritic so far: https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/cyberpunk-2077

I’m betting it ends somewhere in the 85-89 range.
