    (Nth Review #23) It’s been over a decade since CD Projekt Red teased the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077. After a disastrous launch, the game now seems to have its cybernetic ducks in a row with years of patches and a huge expansion: Phantom Liberty… or does it? Nick checks it out!

      Redeemed? Heck no...
      Redemption was impossible when the official game guide was released.
      It's as broken as Starfield and like that game it will never even be repaired to a decent level because they are fundamentally flawed.

      I waited til a couple weeks ago to pick it up. I bought a PS4 just to play Cyberpunk when it released... and then it released like it did 😂 so I never bought it for PS4.
      So now I have a PS5, 2.0 dropped and Phantom Liberty came out so I finally jumped on board.
      100% worth the wait. I haven't been sucked in and immersed in a game like this since RDR2. Its all I want to do. 😂

      My thoughts are, it never needed to be 'redeemed' because it was an amazing game at launch. It should have never been released on last gen consoles or PCs that were similar hardware as evidenced by the poor performance, this alone lead to people hating the game for what has essentially been the same game.
      That being said, the gameplay mechanics and ingame content have changed to the point I have to keep two copies of the game, neither being better than the other, but I prefer some of the gameplay elements in pre-2.0 personally.
      My experience as a PS5 player of the PS4 version, it ran very well without hitch, until 5 hours later memory overloaded crash, reload none the wiser from last autosave.
      This was fixed with 2nd patch. I never had any of the various issues people had in all the many patch notes.
      I spent 100 hours playing the game before the new year had come.

    I thought they went with usual buddy cop comedy with Johny untill the flashback with Alts kidnapping... Then I realised they actually flashed out the character. He turned out to be so narcissistic, self important and self centered, he couldn't believe Alt was more important to Arasaka then he was. That they just passed by him, as if he didn't matter, to get some chick he was banging. He was so dilussional, he escaped the reality, convinced himself she was taken because of him, and even acted a hero following that logic. That sold me on the writing.

      Johnny was radical version of Reed. Reed is basically Blackhand that is Loyal to a fault. Somy/President Meyers fcked him over so many times yet he doesn't exact his revenge on them. In This way Johnny's hatred of Arasaka was so deep he become Militech Merc that may or may not Nuked the fcking city so these character almost teach us that there are no heroes in this city. You can see it in every character except maybe Judy, that actually want to leave the Night City and live care free life.
      Just to hit a nail on your point if you end with Reed ending I love how when you talk to Misty at the end you realize you haven't changed shit and you wont be using chrome ever (not anything from what you have done mattered). And when V asked the Misty what is he going to do she just replies "you will do as the rest of us. One day at a time. Staying out of trouble" and then V disappears into the crowd. Trully profound ending knowing you are same as the rest of the people in the city.

      Johnnys character in the game is amazing because of the arasaka tower “flashback”, he plants the bomb runs around one shotting everyone and is a real bad ass. But none of that is what actually happened, he was very unimportant in those events and died being dumb. It’s so good.

    For me, there was nothing to redeem. I enjoyed the game on day one as much as I enjoyed it last week. Having watched plenty of videos on the game, I'm perplexed on how on my computer I had practically no bugs, not any that I could notice at least, until well over 200 hours into the game and several patches in, when I fell through the map - which hasn't happened since. None of the infamous T-posing, misplaced item models or collisions, or stuff like that. Granted I am playing on a beefy PC, but even so.

And I had a sh!t ton a bugs but I followed through as this was special, a gaming experience like no other that just grabbed my soul. The Lore you can discover, the Quests and stories in this game I will never, ever forget. Today this game is a masterpiece in many ways. Those who love cyberpunk or dystopian fiction.. or who like Warhammer 40k this game is a one of a kind experience.

    Hot take, the game as it is now is not hugely different to what it was at launch. There are polish elements (many of which with minor game play impact like the police not teleporting in as obviously as they used to) and better performance on consoles and low end PCs.
    The parts that were good were always good, the parts that were bad are mostly still bad or at best mediocre.
    It deserved a lot of criticism at launch and should NEVER have released on the xbone of ps4, that was pure greed. But the major glitches were resolved very soon after launch. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it wasn't a watershed moment of bad game release.

    • @Dentson

    Keanu Reeves also played the lead in Johnny Mnemonic, based on one of the books that arguably created the Cyberpunk genre. Mike Pondsmith (the creator of the original tabletop game) said he was partly inspired by the book.

    • @halycon404
      @halycon404 4 дня назад +1

      Cyberpunk TTRPG was wholly inspired by that book. The setting is so much more Gibson than Sterling or Dick. Right down to the story starting out by assembling a crew and planning for an impossible heist. That is the classic cyberpunk story, and Gibson made it so. Edgerunners are always doing heists, it is the central goal of any game of the TTRPG. The big score. Pondsmith modeled the entire thing around Neuromancer. He liberally stol..., borrowed, terminology and mechanics.

    Had an experience similar to yours. For the first time in my life I preordered a game (pls no comment on that) because I had jumped on the hype train as many others had, plus cyberpunk is my favorite genre. On release I realized my rig could barely run it on 1080p (low, 30fps). Created a character and jumped into the game, which left me dissapointed and stopped playing the next day. However, I didn't require a refund as most people did because I had hopes a house like CDPR woud eventually fix things.
    And it did. Started playing in late 2022, completed it with 3 different playstyle characters and had a blast with the story. Also had a new rig which could run the game properly. It didn't feel like a waste of money anymore AND it was bug-free, from my perspective at least.
    Was it Deus Ex worthy? No, but right now it's pretty close and that's a win for me. Still haven't played since 2.0 came out though.

    Open world games always give the illusion of a living world outside of the player but even in RDR2, the most awesomely interactive sandbox title you still live in a bubble. And that world is scarcely populated with talking humans compared to the desperate density of Night City so it's beyond console / PC resources and budget to make such a city fully interactive on random encounters tho that's where generative AI could help.
    What I've realized since CP2.0 is the hundreds of conversations between NPCs, areas packed with BD & drug addicts, homeless, street kinds, soulless ppl. wandering about, underground shelters, rave clubs, gangs banging ppl. up, vomiting, doing graffiti, playing guitar, banging on doors etc. You mostly can't interact but these make Night City very lived in and my consciousness does show up walking past despair and human trash toward my condo or next big gig.
    Social structures were and remains CDPR's forte on random encounters and in story. You just know where you and everybody's at in the ladder and the hopelessly tangled world of lawlessness, innocents, crooked cops and ineptness creates a truly living experience.

    When the game released, most of the critics were focused on the bugs, but it was NOT the main problem. The problem was that the game was absolutely not what they promized and showed in advertisement. A lot of features were missing and the bugs were just the cherry on top of the sh.t pie!
    Now the game has got a lot of improvements, but there are still a lot of bugs and various problems. The game is still not what it should have been, well a lot of youtubers have clearly been hired to convice us that now it's perfect but it is NOT.
    Don't misunderstand me, i loved the game even at start, i got mad when i see all that was missing but i still enjoyed playing it as i had a high end PC and i did not experience many bugs. Bugs were more some fun experience than a drama, i laughed a lot at that time.
    I replayed it recently with the DLC and all fixes but i did not noticed a big change, yes you have a better police driving cars or trying to at least, my god this feature is still so horribly bugged.
    I don't like the new perk system, it's worse than before and makes the game less enjoyable.
    So well it's in a better shape but still crippled and incomplete with some changes i don't like. It's still a good game but certainly not a masterpiece like TW3.
    So a redemption? No it looks more like an old pair of pants full of patches that your momma sewed on it to cover the holes.

    I remember when it launched i only had a ps4 and man it was like playing in 140p. I still decided to keep playing and beat it several times over even tho playstation offered full refunds and removed it from their store. Despite all the bugs and horrendous performance on old gen consoles it was an actual good game. It definently qualified as unplayable on consoles. Phantom liberty really does add so much to the game overall. I envy someone not having played it till now.

    This game seems to have meant a lot to you, the same way it meant a lot to me. I have been following this game since 2016 or 2017, and I find this franchise important, and have a deep personal connection.
    Cyberpunk 2077 was pitched as a highly professional, state-of-the-art, almost AAAA tier game. However, what they delivered was far less than that. What was there on launch wasn't terrible, but it wasn't what it was supposed to be. Even if you had a top of the line PC. On base consoles, the HDD and cpu limit even core functionality. I thought for sure it was going to be a next-gen only title, even public development roadmaps hinted at such.
    Even now, the game isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean it isn't special. It's presented in a much more professional light, but it is forever scarred by poor management.

    My computer is a potato and I could run it just fine at launch, I have a GTX1650. You probably could have played it sooner. Yeah I don't have fancy ray tracing etc but the game itself works fine for me with only a handful of glitches since launch. The only real consistant bug is that my character T poses during the cinematic where V and Jackie are becoming friends and I have to skip. Other than that there's been a handful of crashes to desktop and one time my car suddenly shot up into orbit while I was driving around.

      @@NthReview Ok! Sometimes when people say that the game won't run on weaker computers they mean that it actually won't run or that it'll be so loaded with glitches as to be unplayable. My experience is that the gitches seem to be pretty random and they aren't tied to how powerful the computer is. There's people like me that don't have a lot of problems playing on a potato and people with the most bleeding edge gaming pc's who have a load of problems. It's all over the map. Obviously the biggest issue was with console ports, which I honestly found quite funny because usually it's the other way around with games being broken when they're ported to PC. I've noticed that console gamers generally don't care when the shoe is on the other foot.

    1:09:47 Wait, that's not true. You can't switch out your quickhacks in combat, but otherwise you can absolutely change them without a ripperdoc on hand. You just can't replace the implant itself without the ripperdoc.
    Also, you switch them out in the inventory menu. I don't really understand how that's a confusing place to change... combat equipment. Like, isn't it the place you change out all your other combat equipment, too?

    • @NthReview
      @NthReview  12 дней назад

      True on both counts!
      I think what's confusing about it is that such a critical piece of gameplay is tucked away in the options of a single item in your inventory. Your quickhack deck can sit along a pair of other options that don't do much of anything at all and the interface doesn't communicate that that's where you switch out such vital powers. When you're at a ripperdoc, they're more visible, probably because you're having to weigh your cyberware more carefully. They could've had submenu option somewhere instead of a non-discrete piece of equipment.

    Masterpiece is a bit much. I love it don't get me wrong. But no. Orion will in my estimation, be a masterpiece. This was a rough draft thrown together in a global pandemic and slowly ironed out overtime. But even today it is wildly unstable and full of bugs. That said, it is IMO, the best example of gaming story writing and character building in all of gaming history. I been around cyberpunk since my first 2020 TTRPG playthrough since 1992, so to finally get to play this in a digital world, was amazing. Then immeadiately it wast. Worst realease in all of gaming history. But now, i really is leaps and bounds better. But it doesn't excuse the facts of the release. I think much was learned, mostly the fullest extents and limits of the trash heap that is/was RedEngine. Now on to U5 for W4 and Cyberpunk Orion. Lets hope they get it right on both fronts.

Blunt Weapons is a diamond, especially compared to how it used to be, and hammers, pipes and bats you can also use your fists, augmented with elemental Gorilla Arms are amazing. Paired with the Tech Tree you can become a Hulk-Smash lightning god. For your stealth plays, if you use a sonar grenade enemies will move to where it dropped and be distracted there. This is great when you go Sandy or Berserk, as you can no longer hack cameras or use quickhacks with these OS modules.

      I experienced some bugs, but they didn't feel particularly exceptional for a game at release. I remember only 1 that prevented me from completing a small side quest(a cyberpsycho sighting).
      I did play on PC, but it was a pretty low end PC. RX470 and Ryzen 2600.
      I was also aware of how much of the hyped up features were never promised, and just hyped up from random reddit posts and mistranslated articles. Some features were cut from the game, ie wall running, but that was explained and made since to me. The police system was broken, but I just don't care for that. I'm just not into breaking my immersion by running around and murdering people randomly, only time I liked that was when I was a kid taking turns with my friends seeing how long we could survive in GTA San Andreas.
      The skill trees were rough before 2.0, but I was still able to build a variety of different builds which were effective in my several playthroughs before 2.0.
      The storytelling, significantly enhanced by the first person perspective, immersive cutscenes, and outrageously good mocap just overshadowed all of the flaws to an incredible degree for me.

Or one time i finished a mission and an elevator menu wouldnt pop up. I had to wait 3 weeks for it to get fixed. Months where the audio wasnt working or not properly syncing with the lips. and up till 1.6 the radio was always hit and miss where it would be one but wouldnt play. Alot of the major issues were very early one. And every patch an old major bug would pop up somewhere else. Not being able to finish a mission no matter how major or minor still sucks. And it was like that till 1.3. I think about a year and a half later 1.6 dropped and alot of the small bugs thats been in the game were still in. I've enjoyed the game on day one as much as i enjoy it now.
