Codex Review RPG Codex Review: Cyberpunk 2077

[lukaszek]

everything between is just filler, well written filler but still filler that get nowhere

filler is wrong word to describe act2. "Sightseeing tour' would be more proper.

 

[orcinator]

A very "on-brand" review as others have said.
Somewhat better than the average shill who'll lie about the gameplay being good but still forgets why the gameplay sucks so much (like 95% of enemies being generic gun dudes).

 

[Burning Bridges]

I agree with most of your points, Witcher 3 is terrible as a game and the constant cock sucking of CDPR is what lead to this game, badly designed, broken and shallow mechanics. I just wanted to say that it doesnt quite exceed Witcher 3 on its stronger points so it is more Early Access Witcher with guns, even from a pure decline storyfag perspective, while the dialog is really, really well written and the storyfaggotry has its high points, I was feeling meh through the whole story because there is a massive gap between Act 1 and Act 3 and Act 2 is all filled with pointless bullshit. I felt meh about it.

I haven't even played Witcher 3 because I had played Witcher 1 and got totally fed up by the constant running around and pretending to play a RPG.

The only good thing about Witcher is the graphics style. And the fucking, but afaik they mitigated that to the point where it is no longer worth mentioning.

All in all RPGs from Eastern Europe suck ass because they are just copying the Western ideas of previous decades and in recent years do it in a increasingly bad way.

Also CDPR is a sweatshop that just exploits young, inexperienced people and in general polish developers like Playway S.A. make me puke.

Best RPG since Arcanum came out exactly from Eastern Europe

Which one is that? Pathfinder? AOD? Underail?

Disco Elysium is technically also Eastern European.

I think they are talking about good games instead of proving burning bridges right.

Didnt you get the memo? Codex established that DE is not an RPG. Who are we to question the almighty codex hive mind.

I am curious... no combat?

Man don't ask me I know nothing. You can try and find some retarded thread which is called something like "Why on earth games like wizardry are considered the same genre as DE." Don't remember the proper name. Qualified, professional RPG specialists explained everything you need to know. So yeah I try not to touch that subject ever again.

 

[Goldschmidt]

Am I glad I didn't buy this game. But then again I am one of the few on the codex who will not get blinded by hype.

According to the review:

• Limited skillpoint system
• Limited crafting
• Even for being a 'rpg-game', the shooting is mediocre
• Terrible driving
• No consequences for the choices that you make
• Bad Itemisation
• And the story somehow needs to save the game

More like "no gameplay." It's essentially a visual novel dressed up to look like an RPG but without any actual gameplay challenges or reactivity that isn't basically flavortext. It also has a system of stats, skills, items, and thought cabinet that really all just amounts to skill modifiers and those skills are all basically cosmetic.

You can have a zero combat RPG, but you still need to implement gameplay, reactivity, and a system of character development that actually matters.

Dude, you're on the Codex. Being jaded and unwilling to buy the hype is the norm around here. (Although any megathread will more often than not be squatted by a couple of people who have taken a strong liking to the game.) Stop acting like you're special.

Australia regularly competes in the Eurovision Song Contest - as such it can be considered part of Europe and it's definitely in the east.

Two things.

You're not wrong and you actually come back with a reason instead of just sneeringly standing on the side. It's true - they could have added a lot more in terms of what happens when you fail a roll. It would have meant more and harder development for sure, but it would have made the whole thing better. Still, a good game.

I really don't understand how cdpr manages to make so many aspects of their games worse with every try.

Staff - people who do the game - is a key to everything.

 

[Fenix]

On the contrary, I expect that 2 years from now it will be on a lot of "best games ever" list, once they fix the game, add multiplayer and make a next-gen re-release.

Not that they will fix the fundamental issues with the game, but even now and even here in the Codex there's a lot of people who enjoyed it "for what it is".

Not because of that only - but how beta tester info about VtMB2 I brought shows, other games will be even worse than Cybershpek. Have you heard of Marvel Avengers? Marveous game, isn't it?

 

[Fenix]

Hoo boy! That's one trick I learned early - don't pick them up! If you see a readable with the Take and Read options, you first hit F5 to quicksave, and then you hit Read. You don't actually have to read the thing, typically, just trigger the flag for quest purposes.

Now that's a clever trick! This gae with its limitations induce some ingenuity.

He just wasn't lucky to be born as slav. Happily he makes up for it in spirit.

 

[Fenix]

As for the game - I still prefer my theory that this game is a hoax - it's bait of their future CPOnline.
Imagine they appear and claim - we have all that base CP was lacking - car traffic with pedestrian AI, wall climbig with mantis blade, continuing with every feature they cut out. Specifically suspicuous parts are claims from devs that managemet went on saynig game was ready when it clearly wasn't.

As for revio - a bit dry. Many aspects missed out, as this game is huge, complex - this is what keep this game afloat, and drowning in the same time, as many aspects are wrong, but at same time game is so complex, many are good and thus this game in the middle state - not here nor there.
Many said they enjoyed NC itself somuch it was worth it even game in rest was meh for example.
Thanks for effort anyway, as this game is big and analysis of everything would take 2-3 times more text.

Learn to multiquote, you fucking retard.

 

[ArchAngel]

I didn't read the full review. I am just here to complain how AAA garbage like this gets fast review and there is still none for Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

EDIT: Since I fucked up with my above statement I will now complain about needing two years for P:KM review while shit like CP2077 gets one in 1 months. Truly terrible for a site like this.

 

[Grunker]

I didn't read the full review. I am just here to announce my upcoming review for Pathfinder: Kingmaker
