What's free and what's paid? : cyberpunk2077

This is great, an honest "add-on" that comes with an update that happens to polish the original game too.

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Leave it to the Polish to add some polish.

[–] Amilo159@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well they sure very well did polish what was anyway a gem earlier year. Witcher 3 is and will be my all time favourite game.

[–] fosforus@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I felt really blaah about Witcher 3 but loved most of CP2077. Glad I took the chance even after that bit of a disappointment.

[–] rostby@lemmy.fmhy.net 1 points 2 years ago

Leave it to the polish to release something and fix it later

Super hot take: I'm playing Starfield right now and it just pales in comparison to Cyberpunk. Though they are clearly different types of games, the artistry, environmental detail, dialogue writing, and voice acting are all a clear step down.

Can't wait til the expansion comes out.

Cyberpunk has one of the best cities I've ever seen in a game. If you hang out with the Aldecaldos and River's family, driving back into the city feels like driving back into a city. It isn't just going to a location with a lot of NPCs.

[–] FatTony@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, really a hot take to post in a Cyberpunk community 🙃

[–] finthechat@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Is it? Do you not remember how the official subreddit went mega apeshit bananas for over a year?

Also, have you ever looked at the official Steam forum for this game?

[–] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's good to hear. I've been curious about sf but cp is maybe my favorite game so far. Similar experience with me with Spiderman Remastered. Been playing it, and NYC is so beautiful in it, and the web swinging is really fun, and I like the combat mechanics, buuuut.. I find myself missing everything else about cp.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

that's nice

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

I thought about this too. Especially with how often Starfield breaks immersion Cyberpunk never does unless you switch to 3rd person.

I do try to maintain expectations because it is on Bethesdas engine but I often wonder why they didn't try a different engine for Starfield.

I bought this game a long time ago, but never played it because it would consistently crash right after the montage scene. With this update, seems maybe a good time to give it a try again. Is there anything the expansion adds to a first playthrough?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As an IT guy, what CPU were you trying to play the game with?

I'm aware of a few early bugs with 2077 that would crash the game on specific CPUs.... Just wondering if that was your problem.

[–] paholg@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Huh weird. It's an i9-9900K.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Aah. Okay, not the same issue then. The specific instruction the game needs was avx, it wasn't required for some of the early quests, namely the intro for the Nomad, but as soon as you got to the city it would crash.

Happened to me

[–] fosforus@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago

I had it crashing right after a certain patricide and I fixed it by installing Nobara Linux and playing it via GE-Proton.

[–] anon_water@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you!

So is it fun to play yet? Last time I checked (a couple of months ago), the story was still too complicated, the gunplay was still boring, my choices still didn't matter, and there was still nothing to do outside of a mission.

At this point I'm not convinced that CDPR will ever be able to fix this dumpster fire of a game.

[–] Kaldo@kbin.social 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've heard many complaints about cp2077 but this is first time about story being 'too complicated', if anything it was too straightforward and short for my taste. What did you find complicated?

As to answer the question, the game is tons of fun to me. Still janky and far from polished or finished but still fun and there's nothing quite like it on the market that does it better.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago

It's really the opposite of complicated

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The story is quite too linear sure you have 3 different way to play the end, and 3 different after ends, but there is too much bottlenecks.

[–] Leeps@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It sounds like you want the game to be something that it's not. It's not a saints row or gta in the downtime fun category, there's just missions to do really, and a bunch of events/side quests. I really enjoyed it overall, if was a ton of fun for me, especially using the high damage revolver to pop headshots all day.

Pretty amped to try this expansion.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee -3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Look: All I want is the game that CDPR promised me, instead of the game we got. Until then, I'll keep waiting.

[–] NoMoreCocaine@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Sorry to tell you, but it's the game they promised. People just get really caught up on the influencer speculations, and/or wanted specific things to be implemented differently than they were. So, sorry that you listened to parasocial parasites, I guess? There's things that they said "are working on" or "planning" or "hoping", but everything they "promised" except wall running is in the game, it just might not be in a form people imagined it to be.

[–] Leeps@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Keep waiting then.

I think we've had plenty of experiance now to tell us to disregard any hype around games. Anyone paying any attention to it deserves what they get.

[+] Kofu@lemmy.ml -55 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Gaming these days is weird. Buy a game but still be locked out of content because of what, you are too poor to pay for the meaty bits.

[–] Liome@pawb.social 67 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Well, this is expansion, we had paid expansions in the early 2000s, probably earlier.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

Knuckles was an expansion on the fucking Genesis.

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Blizzard was making expansions in the late 90s and they were amazing. Back when blizzard was the best of the best not the worst of the worst.

[–] Leeps@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

We had expansions in tabletop games.

I've been a console gamer for a while now, last pc games I played were the red alert/ Warcraft TFT (with a splash of wings of liberty) so I don't really get to mess around with mods

DLC that comes out years after original release is fine for me, if I'm getting hours of additional content. That stuff doesn't happen for free.

Obviously if they hide all the game-breaking fixes behind a DLC paywall it's ridiculous, but cyberpunk seems to have been pretty dedicated to fixing their game that was fairly broken at launch.

I've never played it yet, but it's been creeping up my list. Didn't really have much interest until watching edgerunners on Netflix (which I've become lowkey really into, how many times can you rewatch something before it's weird?). While I know they're not the same, the atmosphere and universe seem awesome, and the Devs seem committed to salvaging their reputation

I'm generally a patient gamer, but I caved for RE4make and am super hyped for Armored core 6. Don't have a PS5 yet so I'll have to wait for Deadspace, but once I beat RE4make at least a second time I'll probably try Cyberpunk

At this point I'm not sure if it's PS5 time, or worth waiting until Christmas 2024 for a ps5 pro for Deadspace and a smoother gaming experience on the dual system games I have

[–] Leeps@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's a really fin time imo, I don't think you'll regret it. There's a side quest about edgerunners in the game too, which basically advertises it, but it's kinda cool to habe it linked in.

[–] ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Christ this is the dumbest shit I've heard today. It's early but you might win dumbest comment of the day.

Not any of this is weird or anything new whatsoever. It's a paid fucking expansion.

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago

I'm more concerned how that steaming pile of a hot-take has 10 up votes when I read it. Can't believe so many agree with that shit too.

[+] Kofu@lemmy.ml -15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So glad to of made it so high on your list. May my comment live on on your might list. Please alert me to my position in the future so I can alure you with more dumb shit.

[+] ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world -13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Oh absolutely, for sure. I have ya tagged so I can make sure to call out any other of your dumb bullshit I may happen to stumble across.

Enjoy being ratio'rd.

[–] Kofu@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ratio'rd - what does that mean?

[+] ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world -11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a real tough one to figure out.

[–] Kofu@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well?

[–] LordXenu@artemis.camp 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So I looked up Ratioed since I can’t keep up with the GenZ slang. It means along the lines of a reply getting more likes/comments/responses than the original post which translate to “your post is bad and you should feel bad”.

So it seems like this person’s plan is to now have your username tagged so every time they see it they can call you stupid or some other shit and others will then flock to also call you stupid. Congrats, you were just ratioed. To me it just sounds like harassment in this case.

Seems like a bunch of petty bullshit for an online discussion board.

[–] Kofu@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Oh, I get it now. Thanks for explaining. I appreciate your candour. These are the times we live in. This is gonna be great.
