Codex Review RPG Codex Review: Cyberpunk 2077

[rusty_shackleford]

This idea that they can just slap multiplayer into the game is pretty interesting. I wonder how much work has even been done on it so far or if it's just the marketing department talking shit they know nothing about.

 

[lukaszek]

I see people complaining they did a sub-par GTA clone. I think this comparison is off.

They redid Witcher 3, when they should have thought of a new game from the ground up.

supposedly they were redoing w3 until 2016. 3rd person perspective and so on. Then Adam Badowski came and forced everyone to make fps instead

 

[lukaszek]

As of now it needs months, if not a year, of patching and overall is missing like 4 years of development to be what it was supposed to be.

based on a number of articles with employees anonymously crying, actual coders estimated game to be done by 2022 as it was supposed to be, after content cuts if I got it right

reminder that journalists always lie

 

[Absinthe]

No

I already dropped my 50 cents about the game in the release thread, through a bunch of messages. I'm on this thread just because the salt.

Seriously. Either quote that shit in there so you have a post worth reading or don't bother posting at all. Writing shit like "I disagree" or "I agree" is just an empty shitpost if you don't bother adding anything of substance to it. Even on Usenet you would've gotten shit on for vacuous posts like that, because shit like that is basically spam and in no way contributes to the discussion.

Although I have a more positive view about the game I think the Codex review is fine. It nails some of the several problems that the game has. Like lack of C&C, poor character constitution, half-backed sandbox elements and bad itemization.

If you don't see the problems with the review that says a lot about the depth of your insight, honestly.

 

[Burning Bridges]

I disagree

While one can certainly have some mindless, relaxing fun with it, and experience its involving story – I don’t expect many to talk about CP2077 two… five years from now. In that regard, it might share the destiny of Game of Thrones: build up hype and expectations to levels unheard of – only to disappoint so much during the finale that no one wants to talk about it anymore.

true and powerful

Also, fuck the sycophants (re: YouTubers and rags) that awarded this game 10/10 and then jumped (stayed?) on the bandwagon when popular opinion changed.

The fact that online influencers exist, and that they're stupid as fuck, is one of the more cyberpunk elements of our time.

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

I agree with all the points of the review except for the point about the story and writing. Both are shite. Perhaps, it's not the Fallout 4 level of shite. But it's closer to it than, say, to Witcher 3.

 

[ScrotumBroth]

we were talking about reception changing, not dev plans. I gave you random poll from official forum shedding some light on how much people might be anticipating it.

Aside from what multiplayer is supposed to be. FPS pvp experience with many of core game features gone, like slowing time? Would wallhacks stay?

If it's anything like TW3 in game Gwent and standalone Gwent, it may very well be the end of the company.

I like reviews that over explain the game mechanics and don't focus on story and setting.

Spoiler

Go read a book, storyfags!

So here's to you, lukaszek

 

[lukaszek]

So are the edgelords edgy for not liking the game or liking it? I'm not sure the narrative here.

so far we got people that
- agree
- disagree with positive elements I found
- evaluate my review as being worse than actual game

In general votes claiming I bashed game too hard are absent, unless you count felipe claims that it will be fixed and become 2022 goty. I mean if he proclaims cp77 to win 2022 codex goty already then he is probably right

i tried to make the opposite of disco review, not gonna lie

 

[Immortal]

You’ll be mowing through pedestrians a lot too, so better hope there’s no police in sight. If they are around, though, most of the time it’ll be better to just reload.

Which I guess takes me to the next point of the GTA comparison – police chases are not fun.

Uhmm.. what?

I've driven down a sidewalk for an hour - mowing down half of night city underneath my bumper, I have never seen a police chase..?
I get chased by drones for 2 seconds with the detected_noise.wav sounding out, followed by instantly escaping, followed by more teleporting police and a new "chase", and an instant escape, as long as I hold down on the gas..

What police chases..? It's easier to reload...??? What game were you talking about?

This part of the review feels like a head larp..
"Better hope there are no police around" it's basically 100% guaranteed outside Pacifica that magically appearing drones always detect a murder.

Please correct this review ASAP. How many złoty were you given for this?

I wonder if there are many people who decided to quit after going through the prologue

I don't know about prologue but out of curiosity i checked Steam and Playstation achievements regarding main story completion.
Steam - 27%
PS - 19%

I never understood the preorders anyway. If a game comes out in 6 or 12 months you might as well wait until its ready.

Because they like to wait and to hype way more than to play.
Also that's why we can't have nice things ofc

27% main quest completion seems really high.

The review captures the spirit of Cyberpunk perfectly. Confusing mess of individual systems of varying quality that never really meshes well together.
Excellent piece of meta commentary,
lukaszek. I have added to the GoG Gorasul wishlist in your honor.

The main quest is surprisingly good, much better than exploring a shitty GTA clone.
Strangely completely inverted from W3 in that fashion. That had lame main quest and good side quest, this has good main quest and lame side quests.

we are at just +15. Clearly others are slacking

I hope they ditch that MP game. They'll miss making a worthy game in next 10 years otherwise.

Isn't it this one? Or is there more than one Gorasul? How deep does the rabbit hole go?

it was at 305 before review went online. I think it was at nearly 300 when I started posting it in random places across codex

True. But i wonder will it satisfy CDPR or their next game's main quest will be even shorter.

They'll miss making a worthy game in next 10 years otherwise.

Are you sure they even think in such terms?

Forgive me my ignorance but how is it connected to CDPR? Wasn't this game made by a german studio? Or you meant that CDPR better be back to just publishing other's decent games?
